I have no idea why this happen.
I put a color, image. And turn it too .scs file.
When I try to use a skin, Everything is good. However, side skirt have a nothing but a purple color.
I'll be very appreciate if someone give me a hands so I can make my own skins.

Sideskirts in ModStudio2 are painted by using the accessories tab under trailer skin. If the sideskirts are just one solid color you can create a small 4x4 pic with the color you want the sideskirts to be and save the pic, then in the accessories tab, browse to the 4x4 pic you created and use it. Then find the sideskirt you want to paint in the list on the right that says "for accessories" and check the box. Then you save the file and export the paint job mod to the game.

Not sure about adding an image to the sideskirt. I have not done that before, mine are always a solid color. Is the template you are using for the trailer include the sideskirt on it? Last I knew you could not do add an image to the sideskirt

If its that pink / purple color it is something wrong with your image. Most common mistake seems to be its size is not in the power of 2. When making your images make sure the layers or image is not bigger than the canvas size.

I adjust a image to small so it can add on the side skirt.
What am I going to do? :'(
