So, i'm thinking about trying to design a custom livery for my Arrma senton, now I wanna design it digitally first so I can figure out what I want, now, I would need like those texture files that 3d renderer's like blender use, it's like a flat version of the body, does anyone know where I can find this?
 
Blender, all i need though is a png
Then you need a simple graphic design program to create the artwork (skin). Nothing too hard about that. There are free image editors out there similar to Photoshop. I used to do this back in the day. What I did was drew a grid on a blank image file. Then used that to texture the model. Then I looked where the grid intersected the body lines to draw the body on the skin. It was a bit of trial and error, but it wasn't hard at all. But after you trace out the body lines, create a new layer to draw the artwork on, using the body lines as a guide.
