Skin, template guide

skins for my truck parts you can find here: https://wc007d3sign.sellfy.store/skin-works-for-my-mods/

If you using own skin, it is necessery delete from paint jobs definitions parts, which contains a spcific mod (visor, bumper, sideskirt, mirrors, fenders,) These parts have own template and own texture which is not needed write to paintjobs definitions, only replace with repainted template.

If skin have own texture better way is not using paint jobs definitions for parts which have own template and texture.
mirrors, fenders, base rear bumper are original with original mat. and textures, there is needed use paintjob definitions

texture_name[0] : "texture_base"
texture[1] : "/material/environment/vehicle_reflection.tobj"
texture_name[1] : "texture_reflection"
diffuse : { 1.1 , 1.1 , 1.1 }
env_factor : { 0.073239 , 0.073239 , 0.073239 }
