Tom,

Going rate appears to be US$4 :-)

I'm also trying to get it so you can also just upload your own pictures (from photo library / gallery).

So, custom colours can be done simply by a colour picker, while custom pictures / body styles can be done by picture picker.

Regards, Mark.

Just a couple of base image layers and a 4-byte ARGB code for each standard vehicle (plus a colour wheel for users to choose their own custom colour).

I'm guessing your going to do something like a masking image with a transparent silhouette on a given coloured background,  then overlayed with a semi transparent detail layer? A stack of PNGs would do the trick.

They are just too large (13MB+ already!), so I am working on a better way of handling the multiple colours and making it easier to add them to the Apps. Once I have this working, I'll let you know what format we need the images in.
