Switching your paint is easy and requires very little time, so you can do this while modding other things. I will need help compiling a list of paint codes, but for now I have the Golden Chrome! No more paint chips!

First off, when you open the gt-5 file, hit CTRL+G, and type in :

    0000E840


Now you should see something looking like 00 FF FF FF

The selected code in the above image is the paint data. This is the only thing that needs changing in order to repaint your car.

Here are some paint codes :

    
Gold Chrome : 01 11 FF FF
Reflex Purple : 00 92 1F FF
Nero Nemesis : 01 9E 3F FF
DefaultColour : 00 00 00 00
Matte Dark Grey : 01 0F A3 55
Frankfurt Gray Pearl : 00 09 1F FF
Burning Red : 00 0E 3F FF
Yellow : 00 5F DF FF
Can-Am White : 00 99 3F FF
Light French Blue : 00 54 3F FF
Dolphin grey : 00 9F DF FF
Aurora Flare Blue Pearl (2P) : 01 9F DF FF
Default Color : 03 FF FF FF (Note, this is the first color the car came in, NOT just very dark black)
Electric Orange : 00 63 7F FF
Ultimate Black : 00 7D 5F FF
Matte white : 05 0F 5F FF
Matte black 05 0F 3F FF

Got the chrome code after repainting a Veyron. I imported it to a GT-R'07 and a Ford GT-40 '06, both have worked.

Of course, after editing, update and recompile the document, replace the save, load up GT5 and go into GT Auto. If the car has indeed changed color, buy an oil change (burn a mile in a new car online quickly before re painting) then go into your garage, highlight the thumbnail of your car, press Triangle, select "Create a Thumbnail" and either :
- Favorite it, and go into the Favorite menu to see it fixed
- Go into a different menu (Simply switching from Premium/Standard or Standard/Premium) and go back.

You now have a Gold Car! With a fixed thumbnail!

Credits :

- Vectriixx, for his amazing tutorials, without which I would ever have done this.
- Bounkass, for being there when I found the code Winky Winky
- dr1ft3r, for helping me fix the thumbnail.
- ANYBODY who has either PM'd me a color, or posted a color.

Maybe we can work on finding the codes for that?


Not you, the other guy who wants to know how to edit rim colours. He didn't even offer to say thanks, some arrogant people who thinks they're the king. I love people like that, they'll never earn the respect that they will get. "You reap what you sow." is all I can say to this unappreciative and demanding person.

I'm still very appreciative for this thread as well, came in very handy when all of the sudden one of my PSN friend asked if I had a yellow RE雨宮 (RE Amemiya) FD3S RX-7. By default they're in light blue and are unpaintable. Thanks to your guide as well as the guides as this (plenty more of course plus other cars which I simply averted having to trade to get paint chips for.), I could get a yellow coloured car in about 10-15 minutes Happy

I follow the steps. I took a car in this example a R8 LMS. I applied said hex code on the offset 0000E840. I save the changes,I encrypt it and replace,but no matter what,it's still the same color as before. I even go to GTAuto first.


You may need to change cars a few times and try again to see if it changes. If it still doesn't change, then colour hack a more regular car to see if the colour changes. There are certain unpaintable cars that will never change to the paint you wanted and I'm guessing is because of livery that covers the entire car (just a hunch). If such is the case there isn't much you can do about it without hacking the offset for the liveries and hoping that it'll all work, which is virtually impossible but..
