How to Paint Cars in NASCAR 09

EA Sports' "NASCAR 09" allows gamers to create their own paint scheme on their computer and upload it to the game. Allowing gamers to create their own cars allows gamers to become more involved with the game, providing a personal connection that was not there before. There are some complicated steps to follow to upload their paint schemes, but seeing your own design in-game is worth it.

  Pick the race skin you would like to create: Sprint Cup Series, Nationwide Series and Craftsman Truck Series. Click the appropriate vehicle and the file you would like to edit. The PSD format is designed for Adobe Photoshop, the PDN format for Paint.net and the JPEG format is a generic format for nearly any paint program.

  Open the file in the paint program you want to use. Edit the design within the gray car pieces. Making designs outside of the gray sections will not translate to the in-game cars, so stay in the lines.
