The location of the paint code for the current selected car can be found here, this is what i am editing:

We have been looking for the paint code for cars for some time.
But actualy the game works with the code used for rims and makes the car part up.

lets take this color

Arancia Argos: 019E0 CF0

019E0 is the part for the car body and CF0 is the part for the rims.
059E0 gives the same color.

19E0/2 = CF0

Sometimes car body colors appear in uneven numbers, but this makes the rims return to their standard color.
Even if you use a color code for the last 3 digits.

So 019E1 CF0 gives a standard color rim. The same as 019E0FFF.

If you search in your gt5.x file right after the color name is the paint code for Arancia Argos this is CF0.
So just going through the file gives the rims colors.
Multiplying those with 2 will get you the car colors!
No more need to paint cars in a color to find out the value. :nerd:


Adding 4000/8000/C000 hex gives the different colors available on the rims in gt auto. This is overriden if you paint the rims. Thanks to identiti_crisis who found this.

For instance, having a stock painted DC5R with "rim" 1 fitted:
[03FFFFFF, 0, 000000] gives the first wheel choice, the grey RGIIs.
[07FFFFFF, 1, 000001] gives the gold ones in second place.
[0BFFFFFF, 2, 000010] is the chrome ones.
[0FFFFFFF, 3, 000011] is the white ones.

It seems there is this "hidden" extra colour for all wheels, but I've only tested a few and they were all white. Some wheels don't come in white by default, plus it's a kind of "satin" white rather than the matte or gloss whites you get via the paint chips (which is more common on wheels in real life anyway), so it might be useful to someone.





Adding 2000 hex to a car color makes the car the default color again. (Same principle as the rims)

So:

[6 bits for default colors of rims]+[ 1 bit to ignore next]+[CAR color 000-FFF]+[ 1 bit to ignore next]+[RIM color 000-FFF]

:confused::confused:

For people strugling with all the hex numbers here is an easier example to convert between a known paint chip on a car and the one for the rims would be this:

00444 FFF (just made this up, as it is a simple number)

To paint the rims the same color you divide the car part by two.
So 444/2=222

So to paint car and rims the same color enter 00444 222 as the paint code.

Is this for stock rims or both stock and aftermarket?

You can't paint all stock rims. But if they are paintable this works for them.

I tried the delta integrale and the peugeot 307CC AVN also mercedes 300Sl.

Probably working:
BMW 1 Series Concept tii '07
Infiniti G35 Coupe '06
Highend G37
Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione '92
Maserati GranTurismo S
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI GSR Tommi Makinen Edition Special Color Package ’99
Nissan Skyline GT-R V·spec (R33) ’97
Nissan Silvia SpecR Areo (S15) '02
Honda Integra type R DC5
Citroen C4

All cars are premiums.


But since i never saw the peugeot listed somewhere to have paintable stock wheels there might be more.

So your first instinct is to type about your ignorance lol dude do a little reasearch there are multiple threads about offsets and the such. :n:

In order to get the "carbon fiber paint" code we would need to paint a car with that particular paint first unless someone discovers the value of "carbon fiber paint" so get to testing them paint codes :y:

Maggbot timeout!
That is a great result from some hard-core investigation. Well done mate!

This gives me the opportunity to add all existing colors from GT5 into my app! (oh no, more work)

What ever you like. I am not sure every reader needs the split up in bits of the code. It will confuse most i guess. :nerd:
So maybe a link to here for when somebody is interested. So it also won't mess up your thread.

But you can use it to create the rim colors from the ones you have already.
Just subtract 4000hex (if needed) and divide by two.

Thanks for asking, you may do what you like with it. :y:

You do know carbon fiber isn't a color, right? It's a material...
