After painting up a hi Rez template car for N2002, I realize that you
can't just import the TGA file. Is there any guides out on the net that
explain how to do this ?

into opponent manager, and
[Paintkit]
save_textures_with_compression=0
doesn't do the trick? Because that's what was being said in the beginning.

It won't allow you to import a 1024, but when you import your quality 512 tga to a car, then save it with this setting, it will look like the tga you painted, not blurred.

I believe that just disables texture compression. I dont think it will
allow a 1024x1024 texture to be imported.

I found a tutorial in Sierra's forum section.

The texture has to be in bmp format. Any size is accepted as long as
the width and height are a power of 2. Keep in mind that a 1024x1024
uncompressed 24-bit texture eats up 3 MB of texture RAM while a
compressed 2048x2048 texture needs only 2 MB and may look better!
