If you're painting a car using Papyrus Paintkit for Nascar and have been
thinking about using PC Paintbrush under Windows for help, make sure that
you modify the pallette in PC Paintbrush to coorespond to the pallette in
the Paintkit.  If you don't, all your colors will be screwed up.  You can
redefine colors in the pallette and save the pallette so that each time
you edit a paint job, you can reuse it.  I've never done this before and
theoretically it is possible, but we all know about theory.

If you don't understand what I'm talking about. Do this.  Export your
paintjob from Paintkit.  Make a copy of it (it will use
nasc94.pcx by default).  Go into PC Paintbrush and read in nasc94.pcx.  
Save it out with no changes to the same name (nasc94.pcx).  Import it to
Paintkit.  You'll see that the colors will all be screwed up.
