Blessorship Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I got my trophy at 263 colors. I kept checking after each new paint item from 250-256 and when I got 256 I freaked. So I kept buying, when I reached 263 unique paint items the trophy unlocked. Counting duplicates I had over 300 paint items. So keep buying used cars with paint items you don't own yet. It should unlock at 263. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xBino Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 oh thanks for the headsup. had me scared for a moment. i'm up to 278 now, but still no trophy. still feeling a little nervous since i only see a handful of duplicates at this point.

Blessorship Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Ouch man, that blows! Try having a friend send you 1 or 2 rare paint items you don't have, maybe that would trigger it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImStylinOnYaBro Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 is there aneasier way to see if you own a paint item rather than memorizing the 80-100 some colors i own currently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xBino Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 is there aneasier way to see if you own a paint item rather than memorizing the 80-100 some colors i own currently? use the filters bro. that's how i looked for duplicates or you can sort by hue, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr1016 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I'm at 309 already and still no trophy. I have alot of doubles though and I haven't counted them yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryHSH Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Guys, try going to the main menu and back to GT life. Maybe the game does a server check of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenonxyanide Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 could it be that they all have to be different, you could have more than one of a certain colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xBino Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 which is why "beige metallic" has the number two next to it, meaning i own more than 1 of that paint chip. all counted, i have over 256 unique paint chips. yes, i have 3 "unique" black metallic paint chips and other repeats, but my total is upwards of 312 at the moment. i haven't counted individual paint chips, but i count just 12 repeats, which would mean i have 300 unique paint chips at the moment. i'd say this trophy is glitched for me at the moment.

VeeT1 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 weird, i got mine exactly 256. the number shows unique color not doubles and triples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonHickman1985 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Mine showed up at 257 hit 256 getting a bonus paint color then i bought 1 more and it popped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnath Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 i noticed i have for instance, two brithis racing green but they dont count as doubles they count as separate colors. now, they have the exact same name, i think i see a slight change in the color in between them to, but the name is the same. maybe this is the problem?

xBino Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 yeah, that's weird. kind of like how i have 3 "unique" black metallic color chips, go figure oh well, i'll just ignore this for now, though it seems another player is experiencing the same glitch.

Blessorship Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 (edited) The way I calculated mine was sort by count, then minus 1 from each multi-count paint item and subtract that final number from the the number they give you in the upper right corner. For example: Sort by count. 4 blue mica, 3 chamonix white, and 2 jaguar green would be 3 extra blue + 2 extra white + 1 jaguar green = 6 duplicate paint items Count all of your duplicates then subtract that from your total in upper right and see if you still have over 256. I hope you get your trophy man! Good luck. Edited December 19, 2010 by Blessorship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soviet1918 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Tell yer what i wish the paints were numbered so i could ask a friend what colour/number im missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadiesinner Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 do you have to "get in" each car to get the "color added" ? i noticed i get the "color added" pop up when i get in the car but sometimes when i dont "use this car now" i dont get a new color. i only have about 15 cars so its not because of duplicates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soviet1918 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 sadiesinner thats a good point i assume you get the coloUr ":)" as soon as you accept the car even if you get in it or not, i would get in it just to be sure you get the colour.

Pesico Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I would also get in it to to make sure. I've also heard that there is or has been a bug where if you don't get into the car, it may disappear. So the safest thing would be to get into the car for multiple reasons.

Well at least I figure this out when I have 30+ cars rather than 200+. I guess I'll start to get into all my cars and look at the nice interior... oh wait, it's standard, LoL!

HenryHSH Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Never had that happen to me, at least not to my knowledge. Also, I haven't updated yet, but it seems people get 5 paint items along with the 5 museum cards now. Hope it's a daily thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catscan93 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 This trophy should be a lot easier to get now that you get 5 paints for signing in every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xBino Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) This trophy should be a lot easier to get now that you get 5 paints for signing in every day. is this confirmed? yeah well either way, i think its safe to say this trophy is glitched. if the only way you get credit for a paint chip is by "getting in" the car, something tells me this was an oversight and a bug. me? i never get in the car i win, i'm too busy racing events to have to bother with car swapping every single time. that said, i have 346 paints chips now! i'm sure i own more than a few duplicates, but let's be realistic here. this trophy can be glitched.

HenryHSH Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Just patched... I did not receive any new paints. I did, however, get two new Mercedes. CLK-GTR and some crappy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
