What if there is no pre-made liveries?

I should have made the title “Beginners guide to adding a livery to a car”. If there are no pre-made liveries, you can usually find the template for the vehicle included in the files and make one. Alternatively you can have someone make one for you, but I don’t doubt you’d have to pay.

Will it work for any car? Or liveries has to be somehow compatible for a vehicle?
