Well GIMP doesn't work.
I'm slowly starting to lose patience with paints in this game

You can't save the paint object you have just painted in the correct file type

You mean the GPB .pnt ? You need PaintEd for that (http://www.gp-bikes.com/?page=downloads (http://www.gp-bikes.com/?page=downloads)).

The .pnt file used by GPB is just an assembly of a bunch of .tga files with specific names (+ some additional info).
You edit the .tga files with whatever you like (including GIMP), then you assemble them using PaintEd.

I guess you really need a tutorial on that: anybody has one at hand ?

P.S.
If you're new to software like GIMP/Photoshop, you should probably use something easier like Paint.net

Put all your TGA's in a folder then use paint to read director, then name then, and hit Pack, and save.
