Excellent schemes! Have you considered making spreadsheets? We are always looking for new people willing to share their work.

Thanks lightning, that frosted flakes car from contest on other website motivated me to make it better. Here's some in progress work, I suck at base schemes so this will be challenging for me.   |

I finally reached the limit of cars you can have, it is 18.

How did it work? Not letting you save or overwriting older schemes? I only got one spot left after grainger car. Might not be a bad thing really. The only part that sucks is having to re do brushes you'll wanna use on new profile.

You can still make cars, but once you back out of it you can't edit it. You'll be able to race it still.
So my suggestion is only make a car, if your going to finish it.
This is one thing I wish they would get rid of, the limits on the brushes and cars.

Are you talking grand total of cars or cars you can edit readily? I have 20 Ican edit and 16 or 17 more after. But there's a workaround to editing those too. Just go to last car on your list and choose edit, then exit and when it asks save and continue or save and exit choose save and exit. It should give another option right after that that says save over existing or save as new. Choose save as new, this will send that car to back of list and give you 2 saves of same car. Now go to edit again, choose last car on list and then delete it. The first car that you couldn't edit should rotate up into the place of car you deleted. I hope that wasn't too confusing. It's a major pain to do, especially the more cars you have. Took me about 20 minutes to rotate that kelloggs car thru to where I could edit it again. But all my cars are on one profile which I like.

Also, what else I do is keep that last car you can edit blank. Work on it till it's finished completely like you say and instead of save over existing choose save as new. This sends it to end of list. Then you can go back and delete all decals and brushes off it and start fresh. The only problem w/ this is you're locked into whatever make of car you chose. Mine happens to be chevy.

Good thinking, I'll have to try it sometimes.

The workaround I found for that is on my mark martin car and biffle car is they're both gordon baby ruth underneath. Just covered w big decals. I can take my time editing it choosing save over existing then when I'm done choose save as new. Then just go back and delete martins or biffles scheme and I still have gordons underneath.

Pretty much finished. Gotta add some contingencies and change some colors a bit. Also gotta tweak right side of owl or it's left wing. Not sure why it didn't turn out like picture but easy enough to fix. Big thanks to Gary Galindo and this site + facebook page for the spreadsheet. For those wondering it's now confirmed to work on '15 also. It runs off the page on top and bottom but just keep trusting spreadsheet and it will turn out ok.   |

Here the finished version. Is it just me or does anyone else have a hard time w/ certain colors? The lighting in the paint booth looks one way and the lighting at the track makes it look different. Even the tracks can make a difference. Subtle differences between daytime Kansas vs daytime Chicago, etc.   |
