About this Custom Number paint

Race your Dad's (or Grandad's) car; check out the driver, he's wearing a flat cap (like the Peaky Blinders). I've added some shadows and highlights to the main paint and added an alpha channel to the spec map to get the bonnet (hood) scoops. Since doing this paint I have upgraded to 'pro'. If you to have this you can remove the numbers by using the same paint for your custom numbers (they share a spec map so if you select a different schemes it may not look right), and selecting hide car numbers in your iRacing graphics options. I've done this repaint with custom (no) numbers. It's the same paint as the other Thunderbird in metallic blue, just that Trading Paints (and iRacing) treat it differently so it does not show sim stamped numbers. I have updated the spec map Red and Green Channels, and adjusted the metallic colours in the Targa file to make best use of the new Blue Channel Clearcoat (also edited).
