Not sure if this is the right thread in which to ask this, but here goes anyway:

I know how to buy paint schemes for cars - not hard really - but I've seen comments in this thread along the lines of "just search the storefront for the UK numberplate fonts" for example, which implies it is possible to search for fonts, logos etc outside of the complete paint schemes.

Q is how do I do that? I tried last night and couldn't find any way of searching for anything, other than the list of schemes for the particular car I was in at the time.

Goto "Buy Vinyl Groups" then goto "Manual Keyword Search". Pop in what your after and will find what you need.

They're in the storefront under a category called 'vinyl groups' (IIRC). I made the UK font and a blank white and yellow GB plate to put them on, I have most of them (other than Q/Z and a couple of others) on my storefront (GT=topalwaysdown) smile

You've missed a step, back out to the main menu where you select Career Mode or Marketplace. Go to Community and then down to the Storefront, in there you'll find the "Buy Vinyl Groups" thing and do as Totlxtc said.

Im not great at taking good photos on this but after getting the Ascari in the new car pack & finding a A10 paint job turning it into one of my perfect 10 cars, I had to take a couple. smile






+1 of the only paint job ive ever done. That Type R logo took me ages!

Thats really impressive. Forza paint isn't the most time and user friendly illustrating tool to use.

Cheers, keep getting interesting paint ideas from my FB newsfeed of various motorsport teams and champs. This is one of the Scott Eklund cars from the Global Rallycross Champ that picked up a podium yesterday.

That looks superb Dan cracking work, I'll also be getting one for my Camaro when it's released. clapclapclap

Have you done much filling in over the roof for the sides? Just wondering how difficult it would be to put it on the side of a Transit van to show it off properly.

I have a couple more paints to go up on my SF shortly, both for the 635CSi. One of them is sponsored by Penthouse, does anyone think I'll have any trouble from T10 by putting it up there?

I could put it on the transit as I have it as parts. But I had to strip some layers that you cannot see in order to fit it in. So taking it to the Transit may not work.

Regarding your Penthouse livery...let me ask someone for you mate. Better safe than sorry.
