Evenin' all,

Well I'm not going to get anywhere with the non-paintable paint switching, so I might as well upload my findings so far. This works for all cars that can be painted. I have tried it on cars like the DeLorean, the X2010, the F2007, etc, nothing works.
The only thing missing is the thumbnail, which I suspect is just next to it. But fuck the thumbnail.
If you know how, I promise NOT to share. Seriously, you found it, you release it.

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

Some Green Chrome : 01 93 60 10

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!

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

I have just tried 05 11 DF FF on my samba bus and it gave me silver chrome. Changed it to 01 11 DF FF and that was also silver chrome.

It seems that painting a premium car silver chrome gives 05 11 DF FF and painting a standard car silver chrome gives 01 11 DF FF but either code will work with both premium and standard cars
