Paint Builder Update: January 3, 2024

Happy New Year! We’re excited to release a host of new Paint Builder features to kick off 2024.

New

  • With the new Share Uploads feature, you can copy a code to share an item you’ve uploaded with other Paint Builder users. This will be particularly useful not only for sharing logos with friends and teammates, but also for those who design car add-on layers and wish to share with others across the web.
  • Added Mirror Clone (Duplicate + Rotate) feature. When this option is selected on a layer, Paint Builder will make a copy of the layer and rotate it to the other side of the template, while taking its existing rotation into consideration. This makes replicating items on the opposite side of the car a bit easier.
  • We’ve added 111 new original vector graphics to the Add Graphics menu. Find the new flame, checkered flag, and tribal patterns to make your Paint Builder projects your own.
  • You can now save your favorite colors to copy and reference later in the Default Shape Settings window.
  • This What’s New window will share new features and improvements to Paint Builder as we release new features.
  • We’ve added the Combine Layer Groups feature in Project Settings. When this option is enabled, all editable layer types — shapes, graphics, logos and text — can be reordered as desired without separate layer group separations for each item type. This means that with the Combine Layer Groups option enabled, you can place shapes and graphics above logos and text if you wish.

Improved

  • Improved validation for the color picker to accept hex, name, rgb, rgba, hsl, and hsla formats throughout Paint Builder.

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug that caused Paint Builder to crash when a shape layer was assigned a negative position value.
  • Fixed an issue in Firefox where submitting a project to the Trading Paints Showroom triggered a pop-up blocker message.
  • Fixed a bug on the new project dialog where fully deleting the existing text caused it to reappear.
  • Fixed a bug where double-clicking a logo or graphic from the insert screen would insert the new layer twice.

Cleanup

  • We reformatted the My Uploads screen to make better use of space for new features and show bigger previews.
  • A friendlier error message is now shown when you attempt to upload more than three logos at once.
