The only time I had issues with the alpha looking chrome, is when I flatten the image before converting to .dds. I've never had that problem when converting an open .psd to .dds. So if your flattening the image before saving, try it with out. This is where I had alpha channel issues. I normally merge the normal layers, export, and then undo the merge so I can continue to edit the skin with my layers. I haven't painted a car since last season but if you still have trouble send me a PM and better yet the PSD file and I will look at it for you.

Separate question: Since we need to use our real or "real sounding" name, I'm assuming that name needs to be the one on the vehicle if you have one, correct? Some may be planning to use last season's skin again but will need to alter that.

I'm not concerned if your name is on the car paint honestly. I'm probably going to use the same skin as I haven't had time to make a new one.

For you two you can always send me the window PSD. For me, it's under 2 minutes to change the name, fix the alpha layer and re-save and send it back to you.

Well I would like to make a request. I was going to try to do this myself but I don't think being brand new to creating a new skin I will have enough time to figure this out. So I will be in the following car: Dick Johnson Racing (Jim Beam) 2 Car Team neverender158: Stock#18 If it is not too much trouble I would like a dark blue car HEX #00137F or R=0 G=19 B=127 and if i could have my avatar on a black hood. I am not picky at all so if you want to throw some black or white stripes/trim go nuts. Here is a link to a hi-res version of my avatar. Keywork

It would help the painter if you included a link to the highest resolution version of that avatar image you can find.

Your best bet is to contact Jeff directly unless Dale or Kelly volunteer. I still can't figure out the windows, so I don't do V8's.

Volunteer? I still have to finish my own! The idea in my head has been a pain to translate to a car but I'm getting there. Hopefully I'll finish it tonight or tomorrow.

Check the Server forum... there's a iRacing/GBR name decoder there.
Reminds me... I need to update that.

I'm free to make up some skins, I just have to then forward them over to Dale to fix the alpha layers so the windows look right and the skin isn't super shiny...
