× About Custom Number Paints

Note: Racing with Custom Number paints requires Trading Paints Pro.

What’s a Custom Number paint?

Normally, the iRacing sim stamps its own car number on the car. We call those cars Sim-Stamped Number paints.

With Custom Number paints (like this one), the car number is incorporated into the design of the car itself and can’t be changed. So, if you race this paint, each time you race the ARCA Menards Chevrolet Impala, your car will appear with a #153 on it.

How can I see Custom Number paints in iRacing?

First, like all paints, you’ll need the Trading Paints Downloader installed and running on your computer.

By default, iRacing does not show Custom Number paints. Enable them in your iRacing graphics options by checking the “Hide car numbers” box and restarting the iRacing sim.

What will drivers see if they don’t have “Hide car numbers” checked?

If someone (or you) does not have Custom Number paints enabled when you’re racing a Custom Number paint, your traditional Sim-Stamped Number paint from Trading Paints will appear, if you have one assigned (check on My Paints); if you do not have a Sim-Stamped Number paint assigned, your default iRacing paint booth car will appear without a paint.

How do I manage Custom Number paints on Trading Paints?

Custom Number paints will appear under the Custom Number tab in your My Paints section.
