I am not using the UV as I am crap with Photoshop so have been using Corel photopaint and just doing plain tga paints lol.

I need to sit down and learn PS WHEN I get time lol.

Thanks for the advice bro.

If you painted the bike in any way shape or form then you have been painting the UV maps(Often people call them Paint templates, but they are UV maps), and you can use any paint programme to paint them; it's just easier in Photoshop or Gimp if you know what your doing.

Take you base paint, overlay a grid (or use the UV map if you have it) and then create a paint, you can then take a few stills in the showroom to see where the paint lines should go.

+1 for gimp - its free  , I am in the same boat and learning paints from scratch but their seems to be a tutorial for everything 

But if you can get the hand of 'paste new layer' and 'flatten image' thats the start  layers in general make for easy compositing of images

Paths are great for smoothing out jagged edges on cut images

I think most concepts are common to all packages

I have been having a practice with some made up track day schemes
