*JeeTeeOh* Posted Feb 13, 2011, 12:52 am	Well howdy, gents!  If yer lookin' for custom paint and don't have the money or good sense to talk ta one o' the more professional gangs around here, then look no further!  GTO's Paint-N-Body is the place for you! We feature gen-u-ine lead-based paint so's ya don't hafta worry 'bout your "purty" flakin' off in the heat o' battle.  And our "If It Ain't Right We'll Fix It Till We Won't" money-back guarantee is second to none, if ya ask us. Here's a couple o' recent projects: Yep.  If it's good enough fer us, it's good enough fer you.  Otherwise you'da gone somewhere else, now wouldn'tcha? So go ahead an' contact GTO's Paint-N-Body.  We'll get it right the second time fer sure!

Awesome!  The more custom paint we have running around Evan the better, as far as I'm concerned.  (In fact, I'm hoping a few people might take it upon themselves to donate a few skins to Sam for the NPCs.) The windows on that subcompact are great -- they look stronger than the body armor.
Crazy AL Posted Feb 13, 2011, 2:30 am	Nice work
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Feb 18, 2011, 10:06 pm	Yep.  Satisfied customers are a good thing.  And if that monster kickin' yer butt doesn't look like anything you've ever seen before, well, that'd be Tango and his next-generation Buzzer.  Don't admire it too much though... better ta get runnin' or get prayin'. GTO's Paint-N-Body... We ain't happy till you're a real good-lookin' target.
*Bastille* Posted Feb 19, 2011, 5:39 am
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Feb 22, 2011, 12:01 am	Yep... Custom grilles and window work?  Not a problem at GTO's!!  Inspired by the "El Mariachi" guy in those pre-apocalypse movies.  Guns?  Check.  Black suit?  Check.  Utter destruction?  Soon, my friend.  Very soon.
Snidely Carmichael Posted Feb 22, 2011, 3:04 am	JeeTeeOh said: Yep... Custom grilles and window work?  Not a problem at GTO's!! That's real sharp, JeeT.  Keep 'em coming!

Checkers Posted Feb 22, 2011, 7:23 am	You're going to put me out of business here! Keep up the great work.
Karz Master Posted Feb 22, 2011, 8:48 am	I have to agree, they're really good. What's the going rate on the paintwork?
*Rev. V* Posted Feb 22, 2011, 12:58 pm	SWEEEEEET!

The rate's gonna change, you know, dependin' on stuff.  What's our paint guy's time away from his gunner duties?  Do we like ya or would we just as soon tattoo a bullseye on yer back while yer sleepin'?  That sorta thing. The way I figure it is we'll do the job, and then you'll throw some money at us.  The rest is just details.  If you've got somethin' in mind and reeeeally want a quote, go ahead and send a personal message 'n we'll talk.
*Urban Decay* Posted Mar 14, 2011, 1:52 am	S326055 Replay ID to the first use of the Skin JeeTeeOh finished for me. All the Screenshots I tried to upload came out too dark to see right for some reason. But great angle to give it a good look is at turn 49, where I finish the travel escape a couple turns after a lengthy powerslide for fun. Thanks for skin man, looks great.
Jeelz Posted Mar 15, 2011, 12:05 pm	Has this been done before?
Crazy AL Posted Mar 15, 2011, 4:21 pm	There's an A-Team skin already if I remember correctly.
*Rev. V* Posted Mar 15, 2011, 4:21 pm	Yep.
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Mar 16, 2011, 4:28 am	Sure, we could do some three-color oldschool conversion van.  We may even be able to reconfigure the cargo area with a waterbed-lava lamp combination.  Pink shag carpet.  Wet bar.  But why bother with comfort when you can opt for raw, flesh-peeling horsepower? Like this little number.  "Shifty" Charlene Trueblood of our own Cowboys Unlimited said she was gonna shotgun our paint crew if they didn't put some purty on her new deathracer and, well, if you knew her like we do.... Yep.  Even Corghettes're no problem here at GTO's Paint N Body!!  So get yerself on in here and let's shine up that deathmachine!  Cuz if it's your time ta go, ya might as well do it in style....
Checkers Posted Mar 16, 2011, 6:38 am	With all those guns on it, that car can't do much racing....
*Tango* Posted Mar 16, 2011, 10:58 am	Jeelz said: Has this been done before? Yeah but they got the wheels wrong and the top color should be grey like pictured, the model in game is black above the red stripe.

Tango said: Yeah but they got the wheels wrong and the top color should be grey like pictured, the model in game is black above the red stripe. Huh.  I wonder where the line's drawn when it comes to "new skin based on old skin."  I mean, should an attempt that doesn't even get the colors right keep someone else from doing it?
JS Posted Mar 16, 2011, 4:19 pm	Nice Corgy Skin, very cool.
*Longo* Posted Mar 18, 2011, 8:28 pm	Apache skin done by GTO
Lord Foul Posted Mar 18, 2011, 11:14 pm	Longo said: Apache skin done by GTO Aaaiiiieeee, my eyes...burning..must turn away..arrggg Can't hide in that neon beast. Good one
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Mar 19, 2011, 5:56 am	At GTO's Paint-N-Body, the customer is often right!  And yes, that includes day-glo colors, even though we try to talk some sense into 'em before we actually go forward with that sort of thing. Longo and his Merry Men insisted on the green and they sure as heck got it.  Sort of a drag though... once people burn out their retinas lookin' at the paint they ain't able to appreciate the skull and crossbones grillework.  Or the custom bodywork on the windows and rear end.  Damn shame, that.
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Mar 20, 2011, 3:19 pm	Saturation bombing?  Ya know I love it!!  So saturation advertising should work too!  That's right, it's another "Hey lookie there you really want to drop piles of cash on that" spot from GTO's Paint-N-Body.  You know, where we're not happy till yer a reeeeal good-lookin' target. And speakin' of good-lookin', our own Charlene Trueblood (we call her "Shifty" round here) brought in her 5Lv8 Royal Eaton and said ta give it tha royal treatment.  "Make it somethin' the other guys'll enjoy lookin' at while it drives away from 'em," she said.  "And make damn sure they know whose car it is."  Done!  Enjoy the ride, and watch the bumps in turn two Charlene! Another recent job was for that venerable pack of miscreants known as Old School Perverts.  We talked about somethin' inna "overcoat and free candy" theme, but they decided to go another direction.  The finished product was just what they were looking for... menace, platform heels, and exactly zero color: As for the oldschool Spandau twin machinegun graphics on the hood, well, yer just gonna hafta wait till he's shootin' atcha to check those out. Spend money! Look good! Add exactly NOTHING to your car's combat ability while still puttin' a serious dent in your bank account! Come to GTO's Paint-N-Body and get yer PURTY on!!
*Longo* Posted Mar 24, 2011, 2:10 am	Sorry JeeTeeOh! Busy week at work! How bout these!

*JeeTeeOh* Posted Apr 7, 2011, 6:39 am	Hey there duellers. Pancho Villa here, from Cowboys Unlimited. I been watchin' my boys here make a buncha real pretty cars and frankly if tha money wasn't so good I'da shot em m'self by now. I do a lotta things in this world an' pretty ain't one of em. Decided to show these -- cough, cough -- "artists" at GTO's Paint-n-Body how a real man builds a custom. I call this'n 'Hellride'.... If ya ask me, this is a car ta do some racin' an killin' in. I was gonna start makin' these and chargin' an arm anna leg for 'em, but then I remembered what a hassle it was to build. Oh, and half you guys're missin' limbs anyway so ya couldn't meet my price. Easier, I think, ta just put this'un up for auction. ((OOC: Auction in the Marketplace section))
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Apr 8, 2011, 2:40 am	Hey there. Pancho again. Just a quick note ta letcha know I gutshot tha two main guys responsible fer startin' up this-here shop. Took a look at the time they were spendin' away from their real duties and hadta take action. GTO's Paint-N-Body is closed. No mas. It's time this gang got back ta what it's s'posed ta be doin'... Shootin' stuff.
The Paranoid Tourist Posted Apr 8, 2011, 3:59 am	Bummer. Just as I was putting funds together again...
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Apr 8, 2011, 2:37 pm	OOC: Lately I've been spending more time skinning than duelling, and suddenly DW has turned into a -- gasp! -- job. Turns out I'm not as interested in making DW bucks and "getting ahead in the world" as I am in having fun. Hooray for me! I'll still turn out the occasional one-off skin for sale or auction, and I may try Rev V's business model of producing a skin to be painted on cars as requested. But custom, made-to-order skin files are out, at least for the time being. Apologies to those who had jobs pending. But I want to get back to, as Pancho said, "shootin' stuff." Wish I'da banked a couple mil before I went this route! =)
*Ninesticks* Posted Apr 8, 2011, 3:07 pm	Entirely understandable but such a shame, have really enjoyed your work so far. Well if you ever decide there is a price that will get you doing a couple of skins let me know.
*Grograt* gary.r.horder@gmail.com Posted Apr 8, 2011, 3:18 pm	What a loss, i hope you at least keep skinning your own vehicles, be a shame to lose a rare talent as yours

*Rev. V* Posted Apr 8, 2011, 4:35 pm	Burned out a bit? Trust me, I know where you're coming from, the quality of skins you put out takes TIME. Take a break for a bit if it's starting to be unfun. I'm just starting up again myself.

*JeeTeeOh* Posted Apr 8, 2011, 7:21 pm	((STILL OOC)) To anyone who's done it before: How does one go about "donating" skins to the DW world for looting and general aesthetic coolness? Someone mentioned a desire for more gritty, world-appropriate skins, and I got to thinkin' that I might be able to contribute something to this game I dig so much. Grittycool, world-appropriate NPC skins! It's not like I have stuff lying around or anything, so there's no real urgency here... But if anyone can gimme a clue I'd appreciate it. I assume Sam is in the mix there, but advice on procedure would be good.

Groove Champion Posted Apr 23, 2011, 9:20 pm	Howdy pardner, I'd be much obliged if ya could take a look at this here Pick-Up of mine. I'd like to give it a make-over... but I don't want to pay a fortune fer the work. I'd like you to leave it out in the radiation for a while until it rusts over nice and good. Then you can take it into yer shop and give it a few whacks with a big hammer. Top it all off with a purdy-like spray painted design on the hood curtesy of your least talented artist. The wors' it looks, the happier I'll be.
Groove Champion Posted Apr 28, 2011, 9:12 am	*sigh* I'm in LOVE!  Thanks for your excellent work, partner! If you want my Pick-Ups pointed at someone specific, just holler!

*Bastille* Posted May 25, 2011, 9:42 am	Rust, dirt, damage and pretty girls, in camo. Doesn't get much better than that.
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Jun 8, 2011, 5:10 pm	Yep. The only one that could ever teach 'em was the gun of a preacher man.  For auction in marketplace.
Mr_Sinister Posted Jun 30, 2011, 5:35 pm	Very impressive Jee! Might just inspire me to make a skin or two.
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Jul 9, 2011, 3:56 pm	Sometimes a little means a lot.  Split the front grille on an Osprey and you're most of the way to a whole new manufacturer. Still debating removal of the front bumper for authenticity. '71 Trans Am coming soon!

*JeeTeeOh* Posted Jul 13, 2011, 7:24 pm
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Aug 6, 2011, 6:03 am	So we've got this squad. Hellfire Brimstone Club, it's called, and it rolls out whenever we start craving utter, lethal mayhem. The rules of the HBC are simple. Fire up yer muscle car and leave the scouts at home, then charge headlong into the enemy and fight until the fight is over. No retreat, no surrender, no lettin' the badguys escape so's some bleeder can live to fight another day. It's a good ol' fashioned brawl, and people get hurt on both sides. Survivin' a HBC run is somethin' in itself. But standin' out from the crowd while ya do it? That's somethin' special. So we're introducing the 'DEATHPROOF' line of muscle cars to commemorate acts of exceptional bravery, insanity, or altitude performed in pursuit of the HBC's goals. The sunrise, buccaneer and moray are all in line to become 'DEATHPROOF' models. Other chassis may or may not follow. Awards are made at the sole discretion of Cowboys Unlimited (who may or may not put it to a vote) and will never be made posthumously (as dead gangers are by definition not deathproof).
Lord Foul Posted Aug 9, 2011, 5:26 am	So a few weeks ago I was jawin with JTO and he showed me a screen of his Moray skin. After seeing it and wanting one of my own, I came up with an idea that I believe was a first. I requested JTO create a Moray skin using all of Evans sponsors and jazz it up a bit for the Hellrazors. Here are some screens of the completed skin done by the one and only JTO. As you can tell my favorite sponsor is Old ma's pies It may be hard to read in this pic, but the front says "I'd kill for an Old Ma's Pie" Thanks for your time and effort JTO.
*Bastille* Posted Aug 9, 2011, 7:45 am	thats nifty
*Bastille* Posted Aug 14, 2011, 5:44 am	So.. now just the rest of the racing vehicles Was pacing outside in my carport thinking this would be most cool. different skins for each racing team, for each vehicle, for each setup thats maybe 5 sets of 10 skins just for sunrise Some other consequences of pacing in my carport: - Cubes and HP, weapon and calibre on the hood - Drivers name on the door - {finds another ticking package outside his lockup}

"Otherwise we'd have no place to talk about stuff." Opening the window, he notices several people gathered in the parking lot discussing pikes and obscure pre-apocalypse deathracers.

This here's the first one ta roll out and she is a beeeee-yoot! It's the little things that matter here, and if the pictures don't do it for ya check out event 394900. Just get there early, cuz this was a live-fire photo op! Don't worry, there's gonna be more trucks. But they ain't gonna be like this'un! This here's the flagship for the DESTROYER Series big pickups from GTO's. And it's up for auction right now in the marketplace! YEEEEEEE HAW!!
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Oct 21, 2011, 7:47 pm	At GTO's, we are NOT above shameless self-promotion! Heck, we figger if we know tha word we might as well do whatever it talks about. (We also know words like "crash" and "explode" but that's a different conversation.) So in tha interest of keepin' y'all interested in our little paintshop over here we figgered we'd better show ya what we been up to lately. Some o' these are custom jobs fer gangs around Evan, some're for use by Cowboys Unltd, and some're even for those outlaw-types livin' tha dream in tha wastelands. Heck, their money spends as good as anyone else's, ya know? So yeah! You got a project in mind? Get on over ta GTO's. We'll do it on our own schedule, but you can bet yer last bullet you'll be happy when it's done! Cuz at GTO's, we ain't happy till you're a damn good-lookin' target.
*Rezeak* reecestensel@hotmail.co.uk Posted Oct 21, 2011, 9:20 pm	Anything batman-y on the way?
GrowlingBadger Posted Nov 13, 2011, 5:11 pm	JeeTeeOh - get my PMs? GB
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Nov 25, 2011, 10:27 pm	Okay gentlemen, here's your chance at custom-shop intimidation on a budget! It's the new "Warlord" paint scheme for your big pickup... and at only $75k per vehicle, heck, why not get TWO? Featuring that rarest of rare color choices -- basic black -- it's got some more routine stuff too: a big ol' cobra, red pinstriping and tinted headlights, and of course the "Warlord" emblem across the tailgate so they know what hit 'em as you drive away with their gear.... Yep, it's big, heavy and mean -- just like a truck should be -- and since it's a BPU you can load it with all the guns ya need to back it up. The way we figger it, if ya don't scare tha jerks ta death you can always shoot 'em! Place your orders in the PM mailbox... odds are you'll be drivin' a Warlord off into the wastes before the sun sets on your day!
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Feb 15, 2012, 11:47 pm	Because we DO love the Sonics at GTO's, we've got another supercustom compact killing machine put together! And it's up for AUCTION!! Auction conducted in marketplace forum.
Tez Posted Feb 20, 2012, 2:11 pm	$150,000 well spent - Kevin "Wheels" Morgan
Djihani Posted Feb 20, 2012, 2:25 pm	Wow his changes really made it pop Mebbe a little bit less grungy and badassy but a whole lotta more pimpy
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Feb 22, 2012, 6:52 am	Okay, so what's big and green and shoots firey death and levels entire cities for fun? A squad of six military-grade Buzzers of course. Or Godzilla. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
*Bastille* Posted Feb 22, 2012, 8:57 am	That little red sonic is very nice
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Feb 22, 2012, 10:11 pm	Big thanks to Alec Burke for the loaner Buzzer so's we could get photos of the Godzilla Camo paint scheme.
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Feb 28, 2012, 5:25 pm	The ad pretty much says it all.
Groove Champion Posted Feb 28, 2012, 10:22 pm	THAT is a great paintjob!
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Mar 21, 2012, 8:10 pm	So you've got an oldschool Windsor, you've got it loaded up with a car cannon or heavy flame thrower and a V8 motor, and you're thinkin', "Hmmmmm... Which coffee table really reflects me, the person? And will it go with my couch?" We can't answer that. Not even close. But we CAN offer two-tone paint with diamond cut steel trim for that sucker! $70k or...?
Groove Champion Posted Mar 21, 2012, 8:12 pm	I'd definitely buy it if I had any Windsors left. Very nice work GTO!
Tez Posted Mar 21, 2012, 8:21 pm	Thanks for the good work! I'll be back when the bank fills up some more.
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Mar 26, 2012, 7:05 am	Now what on earth could that be? Deathrace 2000 Trailer
*Bastille* Posted Mar 26, 2012, 8:06 am	hehe, groovy. But ahh, was that not a corgette in the movie
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Mar 26, 2012, 1:37 pm	*Bastille* said: hehe, groovy. But ahh, was that not a corgette in the movie  Was DEFINITELY a corghette in the movie, my overly observant friend!  The paint actually started with a question: "What the hell can I do with that front end?" and the Frankenstein scheme evolved from there. Plus guys with Roadrunners usually have healthy bank accounts!!
*Bastille* Posted Mar 26, 2012, 11:25 pm	ahh yes, all makes perfect sense now
Tez Posted May 13, 2012, 6:46 pm	Once again, fantastic if very late work, I'll be back once more!
*JeeTeeOh* Posted May 14, 2012, 3:26 am	Boy, ya know, yer gonna drive me ta drinkin' if ya don't stop drivin' that hot rod Lincoln...! Glad ya like it Tez! I'd call it one of those rare moments where the client's concept matched up perfectly with the artist's stylistic preferences... the result there is almost always very good. ...Very late? If ya want something done on some urgent timeline, it's good to remember your geography: Tipping is not a city in China.
*Rezeak* reecestensel@hotmail.co.uk Posted May 14, 2012, 10:38 am	JeeTeeOh, you don't have time to be making cool paint for other people. I still have like 15 vehicles that don't have a badass batman skin!

*Rezeak* reecestensel@hotmail.co.uk Posted May 18, 2012, 8:15 pm	Heheh, nah I just like to re-incarnate my gang every now and then. Figured it was about time to do so
*JeeTeeOh* Posted May 31, 2012, 5:26 am	"What?" Spud Wheeler's voice was icy. Like death. "They were in the paint shop. Delivery was supposed to... I mean, it came time to... They're gone! But it wasn't my fault! I never left my---" Spud's .45 made a boom, not a pop, as .45s tend to do. The new recruit slumped against the wall, rapidly bleeding out, his final thoughts drifting over his first and only assignment as a member of Loose Cannons. Pre-auction guard duty. These'll be out there in the wilds any day now. Happy hunting!
*Jagged Monkey* Posted May 31, 2012, 8:06 am	Aww man. I had the same idea about flames on snow cammo. Looks like you beat me to it! Great work.

Do it, man!  In the first place, mine is more "urban camo" than "snow camo."  More important than that is the fact that we can never have too many skins out there... put it together and get it out there!

Juris Posted Jun 1, 2012, 12:27 am	Thanks JTO Did you do the red-baron Pho skin too - just saw one in the wild.

No sir, that Phoenix isn't one of mine... and nobody's taking credit for that it yet (as far as I know). My first thought was Goat, but his normally have a signature somewhere. I do want one though, so I'd better get to huntin'. And I'm wondering if there's a Sopwith Camel out there somewhere! P.S. You're welcome.
*Bastille* Posted Jun 1, 2012, 2:10 am	I like them windsas Two face is just badass awesome
*Jagged Monkey* Posted Jun 1, 2012, 2:18 am	The Phoe Baron is Goat's. He shoed it to me when I presented my Buccy Baron. There's a pic of it in the Paint Tutorial thread (I think).
Lord Foul Posted Jun 1, 2012, 4:40 am	These'll be out there in the wilds any day now. Happy hunting! Someone may soon find himself out in the wilds being hunted.

Colonel Halik Posted Jul 10, 2012, 9:38 pm	the sandking skin i would appreciate some progress in the near future lol
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Jul 11, 2012, 1:32 am	Lots of people would appreciate progress. Ask Lord Foul how many skins I'm supposedly working on for him. This shop operates according to time, mood, and inspiration. When those three come together in your favor, your skin will be created. Or it won't. Nothing's guaranteed around here except your satisfaction with any skin that is produced.
*Rev. V* Posted Jul 11, 2012, 4:44 pm	"This shop operates according to time, mood, and inspiration. When those three come together in your favor, your skin will be created." Yep, it's the same way with me.... heh....
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Jul 12, 2012, 11:28 pm	Another "Crown Vic" Windsor.  It'll be out there in the wilderness somewhere, just waitin' for you to shoot it out from under somebody. It's the cops!!!
Lord Foul Posted Jul 13, 2012, 4:36 am	Would have been amusing to see "Respect my authority" and across the roof see "911 won't save you" or some amusing 911 remark.

BrassFactory Posted Aug 18, 2012, 3:42 am	I need some advice from the master. You inspired me to do a Corghette squad car. I did it, complete with a "How am I driving? 1-800-EAT-LEAD" bumper sticker. I uploaded it but don't understand the part about a 20 x 20 GIF swatch. 20 pixels by 20 pixels? That's crazy. What am I missing?
BrassFactory Posted Aug 18, 2012, 5:14 am	Nevermind. Found it in Goat's tutorial.

*The X Man* Posted Sep 5, 2012, 8:22 pm	Hey Jee, I figured you may be looking for someone to lighten your workload, so I hereby submit my application/resume for an available painters position. You recently had a chance to view my work and I know this could be a benefit to both parties. Let me know if you want me to provide you with more one of a kind custom skin samples. I'll be around later tonight to discuss this with you. The X Man.
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Sep 5, 2012, 9:41 pm	Man, you don't wanna work at this shop. It gets blown up, people get shot, Bastille is always sittin' on the couch eatin' chips and gettin' crumbs all over... it's an ugly scene. What you wanna do is paint a few skins of your own, then start up your OWN shop. Mebbe advertise like I did -- check the first post of this thread -- get a couple of satisfied customers to post shots of their new rides, and you'll be well on your way to never playing DW cuz you're always painting cars, just like me! Dammit.
*The X Man* Posted Sep 6, 2012, 1:04 am	Well, I needed to ask you first out of respect and not try to muscle in on anyone's action. But as long as its ok with you that I can freelance some jobs on the side, I can live with that. I do appreciate all the help you've given me as well. Just remember when a competitor's paint shop opens up, it could lighten the load to give you a little extra spare time to start spraying cars with bullets instead of paint! The X Man
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Sep 6, 2012, 1:26 am	Who am I, Al Capone? hahaha I'm not the only guy around here that paints. I'm just more prolific at the moment. But when I was starting, I didn't need anyone's permission to "go into business" and neither do you (or anyone else who might be reading this thread, for that matter). Hell, it's a good way to make some money without grinding. But as far as I'm concerned, every artist is going to have his own style, and the more user-created art we have flying around Evan the better. It can only add to the flavor of the game, and that's a WIN. So get to work, amigo. Who knows, mebbe I'll commission a skin from you sometime.
*The X Man* Posted Sep 6, 2012, 4:12 am	now I would be in a better mood if my new skin would show up "in-game" so it will help with advertising lol
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Sep 6, 2012, 4:34 am	Usually the first time you go into an event with a new skin it won't show up. Just leave the event and re-enter and all should be good.
*The X Man* Posted Sep 14, 2012, 8:42 pm	Hey Jee, are we able to change the rims along with the skins??
Groove Champion Posted Sep 14, 2012, 8:44 pm	The rims are a seperate file from the vehicle skin, so you can't. There are 3 types of rims used in Dark Wind, and they are chassis-dependent. If you modify the wheel file, it will be applied to every vehicle that shares that type of wheel.
Djihani Posted Sep 14, 2012, 9:47 pm	He he funny to see the day the skins start using kustom rims.. some of mine have smileys and whatnot just because thye dont get used...
*The X Man* Posted Sep 14, 2012, 10:00 pm	thanks Groove, don't worry guys, muscle car type rims only!! you won"t see no damn spinners or 22" rims on my cars lol. Now is that rim folder in the same place as the skins?

*JeeTeeOh* Posted Sep 15, 2012, 3:16 pm	Screenshot how-to discussions and that sort of thing are for another thread, I think.
*The X Man* Posted Sep 15, 2012, 4:12 pm	Jee, you mentioned before about the stormer skin being difficult, I need to do one for that specific skin and when I opened it for the first time, I was like....where is the car panels?!? I could really use your expertise on helping me with it, Thank You in advance!!

I could really use your expertise on helping me with it, Thank You in advance!! I doubt I used the word "difficult." More probably I said "a total mess" or "impossible." The entire car is in that colored square in the center. Things are stretched and morphed to fit the model, and whatever you do will be a tie-dyed hippy disaster. Not much else I can tell you other than to contact the guy who commissioned a Stormer skin and tell him the price just jumped to $2.5million. In advance. There may be a thread dedicated to this stuff in the DW Discussion thread. You can look there if you like. But I don't touch the Stormer.

*Rev. V* Posted Sep 19, 2012, 4:47 pm	IIRC, they get stored in the main DW folder... I usually post them on MS or FB (use whatever online pic hosting you have) and link from there.

*JeeTeeOh* Posted Oct 9, 2012, 10:00 pm	"Really?" Spud Wheeler, leader of the LCs, looked skeptical. "Are you sure this is what they wanted?" "Yep. They said a bullseye, so I gave it to 'em. Of course, I put a couple o' personal touches in there too." Mary Colter, lead mechanic and paint/body expert, always took great pride in her work, even though she knew its life expectancy could be very short. "That camoflage is perfectly in tune with the sands of the northern deserts." "The better to see the bullseye," chuckled Wheeler. "Heh, never thought of it that way. And climb up on the scaffold there and take a look at the roof. You're gonna love this." Spud did as she suggested, looked down at the top of the ambulance, and almost fell from the scaffold laughing. As he climbed back down he shook his head, grinning widely. "You gonna tell 'em about it?"
23Baker27 Posted Oct 10, 2012, 3:20 am	Those are some masterful pieces of work right there. One can only aspire... I love Snipe's ambulance, that's a classic.

*JeeTeeOh* Posted Nov 6, 2012, 5:24 pm	Sorry Bast, I tried the butterfly camo and it was just too hard to line up when it wrapped around the vehicle. We'll have to go with this instead: Hope this'll work for ya. Sorry man.
*Bastille* Posted Nov 7, 2012, 6:26 am	Nice! I want one! I shall send you lost of money. Never mind about the butterfly, thx for trying that though, much more my style over the standard camo
JS Posted Nov 7, 2012, 10:20 am	Jee, do you actually freehand a lot of this, or do you just work with textures? Or is it some of both? What do you use for the freehand stuff? Gimp or some other high speed software?

I use gimp for everything, and I assure you none of this happens at high speed. Sometimes patterns, sometimes freehand. Sometimes sort of a gray area that's both or neither. On that symph, the window grate is a texture. The graphics are "found and modified" to meet my needs. The base paint, sealed rear window, shading, and pipes/exhaust are freehand, and the extra hole in the front end is the original hole inverted. The colors are individually adjusted for hue/sat/contrast manually. So I dunno... you tell me.  That car's about four hours start to finish, if you include the original car "cleanup" (which I'll use for multiple skins) and errors/throwaways. On the camo symph, the camouflage is 100% custom and freehand. I'm kinda proud of that because usually my freehand camo looks like crap and I go with a pattern instead.

So I dunno... you tell me.  That car's about four hours start to finish, if you include the original car "cleanup" (which I'll use for multiple skins) and errors/throwaways. On the camo symph, the camouflage is 100% custom and freehand. I'm kinda proud of that because usually my freehand camo looks like crap and I go with a pattern instead.  Good stuff, thanks for the answer, it's my freehand and shading that sucks the worst, I can slap textures on pretty well, but the little customization details often elude me.

One of the best things I've found to help with shading is the "feather" option on selections. It assigns a certain pixel-width of fade effect at the edge of the selection. I combine that with the gradient tool (black to transparent, low opacity) to do most of my shading effects. For a visible example, check the shading on the Symph's windows. Trial and error, amigo. Trial and error.
*Rev. V* Posted Nov 15, 2012, 4:40 pm	I do all my shading with the airbrush tool. I mask off areas with the lasso, use various brush sizes. I set the airbrush way down at 4%, any higher just seems to throw too much paint for a good fade. Go over again as needed for the desired effect. Takes a bit, but it works for me.
*Bastille* Posted Nov 15, 2012, 11:21 pm	Thats how I do most of mine too V The lighting tool can be bloody handy too, or even special effects on layers, then you can move stuff around and still have the effects of chrome, shadow, glowing lights etc. (Its a bit of a cheap cheat, depends on whos skin you're working on )

But remember the few I have of you?? dancing in the flamingo hat or you passed out with the kitty!! They are safe for now.... unless I auction them off here!!    Do I hear $ 1,000,000 ?!!?

*JeeTeeOh* Posted Nov 23, 2012, 9:13 am	A recent Merc evolution. Exposed motor and car cannon... seems safe.
23Baker27 Posted Nov 23, 2012, 7:45 pm	That Merc is gonna get someone killed. Not sure if it'll be friend or foe, but death will occur. That thing looks really cool, I like the work around the front end, the grill and light covers. Very cool. Nice choice of colors as well.
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Dec 5, 2012, 10:08 pm	That's right! At GTO's Paint-n-Body we handle everything, and now "everything" includes -- you guessed it! -- the Stormer. Heck, if yer gonna be bouncin' all over the place like some old-world bullrider while everyone else is shootin' badguys and winnin' races, you'd better at least look good doin' it! Here's a couple o' samples fer ya.
*Bastille* Posted Dec 6, 2012, 3:16 am	I want the red wun,.. and the Bee wun

*JeeTeeOh* Posted Dec 12, 2012, 8:14 pm	It was so obvious it took us a while ta think it up, but if yer gonna have a Buddy Christ ya just gotta have a Anti Buddy Christ. Or mebbe a Buddy Antichrist? Whatever. If ya wanna get a car done up in either of these schemes, go ahead and get in touch via PM. $100k each, or $150k for the set.
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Dec 14, 2012, 5:47 pm	Well heck, it's been quite a while since a paintjob flopped like this one. And I must admit, after seein' em side by side the Antibuddy just ain't nearly as cool as the original. Guess it's back to the ol' drawing board.

Armored rear window. Reinforced side windows. And we found an old cache of Stormer emblem chrome so we went ahead and hammered that on. Vented carbon-fiber hood? Yep, some o' that too. And of course upgraded paint because, well, we have paint. Oh yeah. This-here shop is open! So remember... if it's gotta be done, and it's gotta be at least a little bit better'n when ya brung it in, come ta GTO's Paint N Body... where we're not happy till yer a damn good-lookin' target!

*JeeTeeOh* Posted May 8, 2013, 3:11 am	As you approach the somewhere-between-sexy-and-scraggly-looking woman at the counter, you notice a sign posted on the wall just behind her: GTO's Paint N Body Reserves the Right to Refuse Service to Anyone. This Means You Too. And another: Good Work Ain't Cheap. Cheap Work Ain't Good. "Hey there, hon," she says, grinning widely and giving a wink. Her teeth are the color of a rusted exhaust pipe. "You waitin' for that callback on your job so you can get your car into the bay?" She looks over her shoulder, making sure everyone else is in back working. "Look," she says quietly, "you've been in here b'fore an' you know these guys pretty much paint whatever they feel like. That's why they don't take no cash up front... they don't wanna have obligations. "But here's the thing. They're real touchy back there. Someone gets all grumbly, they might not ever make the call. Some gang haggles a price too hard or lowballs a 'pay what it's worth' job, they never get a car in the shop again. Too picky? No call. Too smelly? No call. Now I ain't sayin' any of this stuff is what's goin' on with your paint. I'm just sayin' they're pretty much jerks back there and they do whatever the hell they want, when they want, or they don't, and---" She stops abruptly and turns to face a tall lanky guy as he walks into the office. He looks like he's been huffing as much as he sprays. For a long time. He nods at you, then starts barking at her about a shortage of "roadkill red" paint. She gestures in your direction and raises her eyebrow. The man pauses. "See, you're right here," she says, smiling and pointing to your gang's name on a piece of paper tacked to the wall. At least you think it's your gang's name. There are so many names scrawled and scribbled out and overwritten and underlined it's tough to read much of anything. "Don't worry hon, we'll give you a call! Thanks for stoppin' in and remember --" She raises her voice as you head for the door in disgust. "We're not happy till yer a damn good lookin' target!"

23Baker27 Posted May 8, 2013, 11:08 pm	The Troll strides into the paint shop of GTO's Paint-N-Body, a broad grin on his face and two large bottles of whiskey in his hands. The cute young lady at the counter greets him and asks the nature of his visit. "Simple." Troy places the bottles on the counter and continues. "Tell your boss that the Flying Circus is glad to see his work gracing the dunes of Evan once again. Nothing we appreciate more than the work of a master." With that, Troy walks out, his business done. OOC: Outstanding skins. I like the Stormer a lot, but that Ramones skin is brilliance.

*JeeTeeOh* Posted Aug 31, 2014, 5:25 pm	We've all been there. Satan's Sisters are blasting every scrap of armor off your car, all hope is lost, the engine goes up in flames and the thought suddenly hits you: I'm gonna die in a car that looks like utter crap. It doesn't have to be that way. Here at GTO's Paint-n-Body we've earned a reputation for producing the finest custom death machines in all of Evan. Ask around. Look around. Our stuff is easy to spot. Unless you want camo, and then our stuff is nearly invisible. Either way you look like a winner! What's more, we use gen-u-ine lead-based paint so it won't fade over time, even under the hellfire irradiated skies of Evan. And we don't charge an arm and a leg for all this goodness, either. Just lots of Chrome. So get on down to GTO's Paint-n-Body. Mention the "Wanna Die Purty" special and receive an arbitrary and probably worthless bonus gift just for stoppin' in! And remember: At GTO's we ain't happy till you're a damn good-lookin' target!
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Sep 16, 2014, 7:45 pm	"Now THAT is a good-lookin' target! Get the Somerset Press on the line. Tell 'em their horse is ready." A spotless yellow Phoenix is rolled out of the paint shed. "Tell 'em ta get on over here with some cash or some chrome and they are good to go!"

Crazy AL Posted Sep 17, 2014, 3:35 am	A mustachio'd man with a black top hat and a long coat strides up to the lot of you while you're discussing the various merits of quality paint jobs and plants his sniper rifle cane down in front of his feet placing both hands on the top. He looks at each one of you briefly and deliberately and then says, "Gentlemen, for a small fee I can guarantee a higher rate of return on the prices of your goods that will far outweigh the cost of my services." He gestures to the noticeboard with his cane as he continues, "Crazy AL's Auction House always get you top dollar over this sad excuse for an advertisement!" With that, he tips his hat to you all and replaces the dark tinted goggles over his eyes that were sitting above the brim of his hat. He turns towards the nearest watering hole with a quick glance up at the sky and strides quickly away.
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Sep 17, 2014, 4:33 am	"What tha...? Who's that guy?" says the LCs newest driver, Gracie Leroux. "I didn't like his tone. Should I round up a thumpin' crew?" "Naw," answers Mary Colter. She'd been around a while, long enough to be the oldest LC in Somerset. "That's just his way of lettin' us know he's back." "From where?" "Heck, I dunno. But the name's Crazy Al. He used to auction some of our stuff. Got decent money too, if I recall. Thought he was dead." "Guess not." Mary looked toward Al as he continued down the street. "Maybe, maybe not. I was over at another place today and he gave that same speech, word for word. Could be he's some kinda automaton. Cyborg or somethin', and the real Al's dead." "You mean he's a ... robot?" Mary laughed. "Damn you're gullible. No such thing. He's just gettin' old, probably forgot he already said that to everyone. Best to humor him I think."
Milknorf Posted Sep 20, 2014, 6:16 am	The bell above the door chimes, and the showroom of GTO's Paint-N-Body goes quiet as a strange blond woman enters. The newest leader of The StormPetrel's, Concetta, strolls up to the counter. "I hear my boys had you do some work to their car" she says. Concetta give an aloof glance around the shop. "If you ask me, they are too cowardly to deserve a car that cost this much,  but that decision was made before I got here." Concetta give an icy look to the two gangers pretending to look at some chrome rims on display as the fail to hide their attempts to eavesdrop on this wild woman that so quickly rose to power. As she reaches the counter, she addresses the muscular attendant working the orders desk, "They have been sniveling about how the cars I provide them are making them the laughing stock of Summerset; and if they were to risk their lives, then they were going to want to Die Purdy." A moment passes in silence, though it seems like an eternity, as the two stare at each other. Suddenly, faster than a rad scorpions tail, Concetta grabs the startled ganger buy this paint stained coveralls and pulls him half way across the counter snarling "Let me see what MY money has bought!" Releasing the now clearly distraught attendant, Concetta coolly turns her back on the man, and leans back on the counter, she stars out through the window towards the red wast that is home to all that live here. The ganger, having bolted through the door behind the counter, jumps into the freshly painted Phoenix and drives it around to the front of the shop. He stumbles in his hasty exit of the car, pulling a rag from his back pocket to wipe and prints he may have left on the door.      Concetta rights herself slowly and walks to the door, placing her hand on the handle she give a push feeling the warm dusty air hit her like a punch.  A single tear rolls down her left cheek as she reaches for the key in the attendant hand as he holds the door open. "This..." she says almost inaudibly, "This is a car I could die in." Nice work GTO
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Sep 20, 2014, 2:28 pm	"Who the hell is that?" asks Mary Colter, looking on with interest from the couch. "And how'd he get behind my counter?" Gil 'Army of One' Farrow is laughing. Quietly, so as not to disturb the scene playing out across the room. "I dunno. She really think he's one of ours?" He draws his nickel-plate .45, considers for a moment, then holsters it again. "Guess everybody gets lucky sometimes." "Yep." "Think he's a customer? Mebbe we should help him out," says Mary as the distraught stranger moves to retrieve the Phoenix. "Nah. Let 'em have their little moment." The two LCs chuckle quietly and watch.
*The X Man* Posted Sep 20, 2014, 7:53 pm	Daniel 'Gritty' Negrete quietly walks over the GTO's, slowly opens the front door and peaks inside. With just his head inside, he tilts it from side to side to see what the ruckus was. "Hows it going Mary??" after he sees her behind the counter. "Looks like we got us some new riffraff running our town. If you need a hand in ....ummm... in taking care of things, you let me know. I have no problem dropping my paint guns for machine guns". Daniel flips a beer can towards Mary. "It ain't much, but it's cold". After taking a few gulps of his own, he lets out muffled belch. ""Scuce me, but just so you know, the LC got me started with my Chop Shop, so anytime you need some backup, twould be an honor to sling some lead with you once again". He finishes his beer, crunches the can by smashing it against his forehead. He smiles thru some missing teeth and winks, "You know where to find me". Daniel tosses the flattened can into a rusty 55 gallon drum by the door. "Now...I gots painting to do myself, take care Amigo..." he puts his sunglasses back on as he closes the door behind him. As "Gritty" walks back to his shop, you can here a little song, fading as he walks away. "1 ~~~2~~~ this bullets for you ~~~ 3~~~ 4~~~~~ ya gonna bleed out more ~~~~~~~~ 5 ~~~~~~~~~~ 6~~~~........."
Super Fluke Posted Sep 20, 2014, 8:31 pm	Clifford Castleberry walks into the shop, "wheres that paintin' man GTO?" He speaks in a loud slightly bossy voice. "I hear this shop makes some quality paint jobs, and the boss has a bit of a problem. You see we've got a driver who knows what he's doing, we got a fast car being built, but we don't look like we know what were doing, do you see the problem?" Clifford browses the the selection of photos hung around the shop, with an impressed look on his face. "You see, the boss wants that hot shot GTO to paint the stormer that were gunna race and see if we can't stir up some commotion with on the track, and we want to make sure we look good doing it." "So here's the deal. Its gotta be a nice shade of blue. That's all. Just blue. Well no that's a lie its gotta be blue and we want to advertise this shop. GTO's paint and body, the whole lot. And the number 94 on the doors. And we'll pay for it. Yeah sounds like a good deal doesn't it?" He pauses for a moment, and becomes slightly more serious. "We'll pay provided its a good price and looks sharp..however. The boss has plenty of money laying around but there's a reason why. He doesn't much care to spend it." "So what do you say hotshot? You think you could tell me what kinda cash were lookin' at here?"
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Sep 21, 2014, 2:49 pm	"Ummmmm yeah," says Colter, "we've got blue. Step into the office and we'll talk money. But if yer boss don't like spendin' it, well, he ain't gonna be happy with the numbers."
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Sep 26, 2014, 7:35 pm	Mary Colter tacks a poster to the outside of the shop, then turns to the bystanders with a big grin. "Gorgeous, ain't it? Looks faster'n the devil himself, if ya ask me. But don't get all ahead o' things, now. When the auction starts, you'll see it in the marketplace. Hell, mebbe Crazy Al will wanna get involved. But in the meantime I've got a few more details to handle. Seeya round, boys!"

He then takes a closer look at the Amabassador, "What an excellent idea... national pride 'n all that. Think that'll go over pretty well with the wee gangers understanding their heritage. Seems that sorta prides been lost since the winds came blow'n through." He then tips the ash of the cigar off into the dirt road and continues on to the pub... the song still playing in his head.

We make dyin' in a little tiny car look good, and we do it atta price that won't break the bank. So remember... For all your custom needs, come to GTO's. We ain't happy till yer a damn good-lookin' target!
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Oct 15, 2014, 2:09 am	Ya know, a lotta times we look too hard at what keeps us apart. Things like what side o' tha Somerset fence ya live on, or whose friend murdered who before you blew their face apart in response. But it's good to know that when it's really important we can move beyond those things and work together for a better world. And of course, here at GTO's we know that nothin' makes the world better than when we make it better lookin', because that's the best better of all. Sure, it makes us rich and famous, but that's just the accidental by-product of our ... ermmmm ... Whatever. We just sold a whole buncha these SuperSonics to the wasteland gangs, because hey, we've all got our price and their money spends as good as anyone's. Ya wanna custom job? We can do that for ya. And if ya just wanna loot one that's already paid for, they're out there. The SuperSonic. Because anything less is subsonic.  Now THAT is a damn good-lookin' target. Don't shoot it though. The yellow one is us.

I'm so glad I can come back to these old threads and still be blown away by my man JeeTeeOh. Seeing all these skins I missed over the years is making me all teary eyed and sentimental.
