Painting the Lola B11 HPD

Not sure if this is happening to anyone else, but in painting the Lola B11 it seems to have a couple of bugs with brightness.

The paint colours all come out with a brightness too low (eg, putting the pure white on comes out with something close to the 0.5 grey), and the Vinyl colours come out too bright (Even the off-whites will bloom like mad and remove all shading from the car).

If you're seeing this, I've found that rather than having to mess around re-calibrating colours individually to recreate the shade as it would appear on another car, covering every face with a huge single black square with an opacity ~0.55 (and making sure it stays as the top layer) seems to correct it.

Kind of curious to see if anyone else is getting the issue, it's persisted after a couple of 'remove all decals/start from scratch' cycles on mine.

I've noticed it too. White turns to a plastic texture, while everything else turns to gloss.

It's also the same on mine mate, a few cars are like this in FM4.

Yeah - I've started taking advantage of it - I pulled a couple of decals out above the 'darken' layer and they get a cool day-glo effect.
