This Week on Trading Paints: June 5, 2026
News and updates from the world of Trading Paints from the past week while you’re grasping for those last-minute bits of Safety Rating.
Welcome to This Week on Trading Paints, the pulse on what’s happening in the Trading Paints world.
🧑🎨 Jordan Tiegs in the Spotlight
The subject of this month’s Artist Spotlight is Jordan Tiegs, a virtual-to-reality designer who now boasts over 100 designs that have made it to the track in NASCAR — including Garrett Smithley’s memorable Microsoft Clippy car.
🎨 Paint Builder Update
We released a small update to Paint Builder on Monday to make some minor improvements.
Improved
- When using Mirror Clone, Paint Builder will now attempt to position the cloned copy the layer closer to the corresponding location on the opposite side of the template.
Fixed
- Fixed an issue where Mirror Clone on grouped layers did not behave similarly to using Mirror Clone with ungrouped layers.
- Fixed an issue where SVG images containing outlines, like those exported from Number Builder, would not apply the Finish (spec map) values to the outlines.
