Andy,
My real riding-buddy's/computer-buds and I have figured out how to paint
not only our real streetbikes into the game, but out real helmets/riding
gear etc also! I can't tell you how cool it is to be "in" the game. We
modeled what we did off of the skins that other people painted as well as
the generic Adobe PhotoShop files that the game came with.
There is a ton of little things that need to be done to get every little
detail right, but if you enjoy fiddling with it, it will be very rewarding.
As far as those numbers for the bike color.....they are the RGB color codes
that represent the color you want the tank painted when you are racing from
the Rider's perspective. One you paint your bike skin you can use any paint
program (Adobe is the best) to pull the color off the gas tank that you
painted on your bike skin. If your paint program is any good it will give
you the RGB equivalent numbers that make up that color. Your best bet is to
look on the screen with the color palette or color wheel to find them. Once
you know what numbers represent the color you want the tank to be, just edit
the Extra-participants file to match and away you go!
Hope that answers your question,
Chris
