    Did you select "Testing Skin" from the parts selector for paint design?

    Okay... try this:
    - Open the beamng launcher, click support tools, and start the game in safe mode
    - Once the game has started, click Windows + R, and type in %temp%, and click enter (dont close beamng)
    - You should see somewhere in that temp folder, a folder that has a name that contains "beamng", click that
    - Click the 0.29 folder, then mods folder, then create a folder called "repo", and paste the zip i sent into that repo folder
    - Now back in beamng, go to the mods menu, click testing skin, and click deactivate, then activate
    - Go into any map, preferably grid small pure, and load up a covet, then select the Testing Skin paint design

    See if that works...

    Edit:
    Did you check the roof? It says TEST on the roof.

    Now, exit safe mode (if you went into it), and try the following:

    - In your Userfolder, go to the mods folder.
    - You should have a folder called unpacked, if not, create it in the mods folder
    - In the unpacked folder, paste in the zip i sent, and unzip it
    - Then, delete the zip from the unpacked folder
    - You should now be left with a folder called TestingSkin, in the unpacked folder
    - Next, go into the Testing skin folder, all the way until you reach the folder with the 2 dds files.
    - Delete the 2 dds files, and paste in your own 2 dds files you made.
    - Rename the one that has the red: covet_skin_testingskin_palette.color.dds
    - Rename the one that has the dirt on white: covet_skin_testingskin.color.dds

    Now, open beamng again, and spawn a covet, select the Testing Skin from the parts selector, and see if your skin works...

    To make the bumpers body coloured, all you have to do is change the type of bumper from Unpainted Front Bumper to Front Bumper

    Also don't forget to do this:

    Now, all you have to do is rename a few things (close beamng before doing this):
    - Rename the TestingSkin folder in the unpacked folder to Dirty
    - Rename info_testingskin.json to info_dirty.json, and change the 3 lines inside to whatever you'd like, and save and exit
    - Rename the testingskin folder above the info json file to dirty
    - Go into the covet.jbeam, and rename the following:

    - Rename "hatch_skin_testingskin" to "hatch_skin_dirty"
    - Change the Author
    - Change the "name":"Testing Skin" to "name":"Dirty"
    - Change "globalSkin" : "testingskin" to "globalSkin" : "dirty"
    - Save and exit

    Now, in the materials.json folder, do the following:

    - Press CTRL + H, type testingskin in the top field, and dirty in the bottom field
    - Click at the top of the text so your cursor is infront of the very first {
    - Press replace all
    - Save and exit

    Last but not least, change:
    "covet_skin_testingskin.color.dds" to "covet_skin_dirty.color.dds"
    "covet_skin_testingskin_palette.color.dds" to covet_skin_dirty_palette.color.dds"

    Do one last test in-game, and see if it works!

    Do you mean they are black? Or that the unpainted bumpers can be colored with the slider?
