LOL Where did you find that old thing? I originally wrote it for FS98 & thought I removed it long ago. I stopped working on it when FS2000 was released & it's not really suitable for the current sims. Try this one. http://www.calclassic.com/repaint.htm

I removed the link from my site long ago & although it's still on the server there's no direct link to it anywhere to my knowledge. To be honest I'd forgotten all about it as I no longer have it on my HDD. After a quck peek it's not as bad as I thought. Maybe I could update it sometime, not going into details as there's already plenty of tutes covering that side of it much better than I could. Mine would just give people an idea how to get started.
