Do you want to type something else out in that font? Or just want the logo?

If the latter then you could cut it out with the magic wand?

Thanks Tommo, they are very impressive when you see them on the road. The company is only 1/2 an hour from me so I get to see them a lot. Their main role is the movement of Railway Cars and OD loads. One of these days I'm going to get my own pictures of their newer rigs.

Cut out the characters from that logo into individual letters. Each as their own image.

Thanks room217au - have edited the full logo for just the Silk Road wording but will take a look at the link you provided.

Re the Metallic Skin issue - turns out it was 7z that was screwing up the compression's. Now have peazip and everything works as it should :class:

Thanks Chris ... much of the credit has to go to the guys here for their info.

Now I need to learn what the various Metallic Settings mean and how they effect the end result. Some of the ETS2 default metallic skins look incredible (effects wise) so that is what I'd like to be able to achieve at some point.

Any part of your skin that you DON'T want metallic, ie. maybe some of the graphics, you need to include those sections of the paintjob in the Alpha channel as 'white' objects.
It's easy.
Copy all of the paintwork you want to include in the Alpha channel to a new grouped layer above the artwork originals.
Merge all the layers in that new group to one layer.
Make a colour overlay (photoshop) of white over that merged layer.

In Channels tab, copy the RED channel to make a new alpha channel.

Thanks mate ... I have to confess, I haven't done a lot of work with Alpha Channels for years so your info is very helpful.
