Forza Horizon 6 (FH6) has seriously upgraded its Livery Editor. Beyond the flashy new paints, the game now gives you more control over windows, tires, and Forza Aero parts than ever before. If you want your cars to truly stand out, knowing the hidden features and handy shortcuts can save you time and take your designs to the next level.

Window Decals Tinting

One of the biggest updates is the ability to put vinyls directly on windows. Side, rear, and even windshield banners are all paintable. But the real trick is opacity control. You can:

• Make fully transparent sponsor logos.
• Create subtle sun strips.
• Mix transparency levels for a layered, realistic look.

Pro tip: Layer multiple semi-transparent vinyls for a gradient or etched-glass effect that catches the light just right.

Advanced Materials

FH6 added some material depth that really makes your paint pop:

• Heavy Metal Flake: Perfect for that deep, reflective shimmer that moves with the light.
• Candy Paint: Rich, vibrant colors that let the base layer shine through when masked.
• Refraction Shaders: Your headlights and taillights now show rainbow-like iridescence, especially on polycarbonate lenses.

Combine these with vinyl masking for high-contrast designs that feel professional.

Custom Forza Aero Body Parts

Front splitters, rear wings, and side skirts are now bespoke to each car. That means they follow the exact lines of your vehicle instead of using a generic template. You can:

• Paint individual wing struts or end plates.
• Apply decals on splitters without stretching or distortion.
• Add racing tow hooks and paint them to match or contrast your livery.

This level of detail makes Forza Edition cars especially fun to customize, since many of them show engine bay welds and interior trim in Forza Vista.

Tire Rim Tricks

FH6 finally lets you mix rims between front and back axles—perfect for drift builds or just to stand out at a car meet. The new tire sidewall designs also show wear and scuffing over time. Tips:

• Choose contrasting rims for front/rear to emphasize style or performance.
• Use tire graphics that pop against your car’s paint scheme.

Workflow UI Shortcuts

FH6 has some quality-of-life updates that speed up design time:

• Favorite Colors: Save your go-to colors to access them quickly on any car.
• Streamlined Menus: Switching between matte, semi-gloss, and satin finishes is faster, reducing “menu shuffling.”
• Vinyl Groups: Group related shapes together for easy movement, resizing, or flipping across the car.

These shortcuts are subtle but can save hours if you’re working on multiple cars or large, complex designs.

Hidden Details Pro-Tips

• Bespoke Body Lines: Front splitters now hug the car’s shape perfectly. No more awkward gaps or floating decals.
• Photo Mode: For realistic screenshots, set your camera focal length between 7–13 to get natural depth of field.
• Forza Edition Cars: Rare editions show extreme interior details in Forza Vista—perfect for screenshot setups or showcase reels.

The FH6 Livery Editor isn’t just about slapping on a new paint job—it’s about making your cars feel alive. Between window decals, advanced materials, and customizable aero parts, every car can look unique. Mastering these hidden features and shortcuts will give you an edge at car meets, screenshots, or just flexing online.
