Painting skins
First off you will need a template.
Power & Glory uses the standard GT-Legends templates which can be found here:
TC-65 templates
GTC-65 templates
GTC-TC-76 templates

*MASK.GTR file and use
In each Power & Glory car folder is a *MASK.GTR file that contains various files that a specific car uses in game. The contents vary depending on the car but can include textures, and custom parts.

The MASK.GTR files for Power & Glory V1.02 are named:

60's Touring
ABARTH_1000TC_MASK.GTR
ALFA_GTA_MASK.GTR
AUSTIN_MINI_MASK.GTR
FORD_FSPRINT_MASK.GTR

Usage
*MASK.GTR files are basically a "clean up" measure or a dumping ground for all those custom parts you have made, or for stand-alone chassis and masks. This cleans up the whole folder, and can make things easy to find, without having loose files everywhere as can be found in other mods, and the nightmare of files required for GTL Modding.
Simply open the *MASK.GTR in Geditor, and place all of your extra files in this archive.
Power & Glory always looks for parts in the MASK.GTR file first, this way you are assured that your custom parts are looked at first, rather than the default ones.

PLEASE NOTE
Every car needs a *MASK.GTR file in its car number folder. Power & Glory's .CAS files are looking for this archive, not having it in your cars folder will cause a CTD.

Blank *MASK.GTR's
Located on the bottom of this post is an archive with various blank *MASK.GTR files included. These archives contain a file called "DUMMY.GMT". As the name suggests this really isn't anything but a dummy file used to make sure there is an archive called *MASK.GTR in your car folder.
If you decide to put something in your MASK.GTR archive this dummy file can be deleted.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Can someone tell me how to set the genstring of the Porsche 914 up to have the front bumper and exhaust of the Nr. 40 plus the rear view mirror and the front bonnet rubber safety fasteners of the Nr. 19 ?

Painting a car for PnG is too complicated for me, even having 2 years expierence in painting cars for GTL and GTR2 I can't figure it out why my generic texture is not shown in the showroom(visible because of the orange inner arches) and why the style 3 bodywork is not working anymore altough I took the files from Nr. 19 which has the Nr. 3 bodywork in the genstring.
Strangely if I put a 1 or 2 on the first digit in the genstring the car shows up in the showroom but of course with wrong textures for exhaust and mirror. If I use 3 the car doesn't show up in the showroom at all.

EDIT:

Finally made it  
Don't know if it's correct but I named the bodymask file now 71019_PORSCHE_914_BODY1_MASK.DDS instead of 71069_PORSCHE_914_BODY1_MASK.DDS which would be the folder name - 71069.

Thanx for sharing the templates, is there any way to find the template for the Triumph TR4?

[HR186S]

There is a GTL one floating about somewhere... I don't have the site for Butch's cars on hand. I'll see what I can find.
