1. Launch the iRacing client and navigate to the "Paint Shop" from the main menu.
2. Click on the "Create New Livery" button to start a new project.
3. Choose the type of livery you want to create (sides, hood, roof, or hood+roof).
4. Select a base canvas color and texture (e.g., red with white stripes).
5. Use the "Brush Tool" to add your design elements (e.g., logos, stripes, or custom graphics).
Listen to the feedback of the community and your own eyes; one is more than other. To make your design look more realistic, add some depth to your painting by using brushes with different sizes. Drop shadows and ambient occlusion (AO) are also great elements to add in order to give the helmet a more realistic look.
