Assetto Corsa – How to Paint AC Car Liveries in 3D

Expand the YouTube video description for timestamps to skip ahead to key sections. I’ve also included download links for the software.

This two-part tutorial will briefly demonstrate how to paint Assetto Corsa car liveries (skins) in 3D (optional) and then also demonstrate how to paint or finalise the car skin in 2D.

Apologies in retrospect for the low volume / poor audio quality of the upload. If an issue, you can try boost it on your side through your operating system or browser plugin.
