1st thing is try not to paint the 0.dds (bodybasic) or use any of the .mat & .tobj files for this file. This is because the files are written slightly different to the other paint files & will not show your new skin in the best light.
Try using 1.dds (bodypaint1) & associated files.
Next most of us use Photoshop or similar for painting new skins as these programs enable the user to create layers so only one part is painted at a time.
For Haulin, PTTM, & ALH templates have already been made in PSD format (photoshop) & can be found on my download pages (the trucks/trailers are the same in all games just the .dds file names are different)
To create your own with an unknown selection of parts, best thing to do is start creating layers & painting them different colours, add the WIP skin to your game & see which colour is on which part, then go back to the layer & name the unknown part. Keep doing this until all parts have been identified.
Good luck
Oh & welcome to the forum!!
