hmmmmm.........
Don't rightly know.
Was it that you saw the car as gray, or was it everyone else that saw it that way?
Reason I ask is because in order for me to see your paint job while we are racing on line together is for me to have downloaded and installed it prior to us racing. In other words, you can't go into a pick up race and have everyone see your cool new paint job. That is why leagues have you send your car file in to be added to a league car set. They then usually .zip them up and offer that as a download, so you will see your league mates paint schemes.
Just a thought, but perhaps you need to defrag the hard drive. Maybe it isn't getting loaded fast enough to show by the time you hit the track? Especially if it is a very high resolution paint job, or is a big file. How much RAM does the computer have?
Again, just shooting in the dark as I have never heard of this problem.
Sorry
