      Has Anyone used the car paint material in the mental ray renderer options. I have applied it to my model but I cant apply a decal to it. everytime I add anything to it the paint just goes a bright luminous colour and looks crap.

      Has anyone come across this or anyway to sort it out.

      Any help appreciated.

      Cheers

      Assuming you’re using max here. instead of trying to integrate a decal to the overall material, select the faces on you model that you want to apply the decal too and detach them. apply a push modifier with a low value to eliminate z fighting, then apply your texture to this new geometry, controlling transparency with an alpha channel or opacity map in a new material.
