Full car coloring with skins

[MirceaKitsune]

This is another thought I've been having for a while. I was thinking about a better system for coloring and skinning cars, which imo would be a nice feature too.

At the current time, each car has a number of skins you can choose one from, which is the only texture applied to the car by default. I was thinking about changing that a little, into an dynamically colored map which the skin is then applied onto.

In other words, each car would use a grayscale image for the initial body, which is colored dynamically. I was thinking of a color chooser in the menu for that. Then over it, you can choose a skin like you do currently to apply text and designs over cars, as well as the non-colorable parts like tail-lights (each skin would need alpha channels of course).

The purpose would be to allow coloring cars in any color, while still allowing detailed skinning otherwise. Here are some pictures showing what I mean better (second screenshot is a mockup):
