How to Make Your Own Paint Schemes in NASCAR 09

NASCAR 09 lets players customize their vehicles to their heart's content.

NASCAR 09 allows players to customize their car's paint scheme to previously unseen levels. The process is more involved than traditional customization modules because players use a computer and image editing software instead of just the video game console. This method lets players focus on the small details and use almost any photo or image. The process is straightforward and can be accomplished in less than half an hour.

Things You'll Need

• NASCAR 09
• Xbox 360 or Playstation 3

Instructions

1. Navigate to the EA Sports NASCAR 09 paint booth website and click on "Design your own car."

2. Choose the vehicle race skin that you want to edit and pick a template file type. The PSD format works with Adobe Photoshop, the PDN format for Paint.net and the ZIP file contains JPEG and PNG files that can be edited with most image editing programs.

3. Open the downloaded template file in the chosen image editing software and apply desired color schemes, designs and logos to the gray car panels. Choose "File," "Save As" and save the finished design as a DDS file.

4. Open an Internet browser and navigate to the EA Sports World website. Sign in or create a free account.

5. Click the "NASCAR 09" link once signed in and press the "Upload" button to locate the saved template from the local hard drive.

6. Turn on the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 and insert the game disc and connect to Xbox Live or the Sony Online Network. Select the paint booth option and select the new custom template from the available options to apply the new paint scheme.
