How do i make a stock-alike part?

[Jeb-head-mug kerman]

Hi, as some of you guys know i have a mod called Blue Kerbin Dynamics mk1 fuel tanks expansion and these parts have very un-stock alike textures on them. So how do i make stock alike textures? I use Blender for designing my parts and paint.net for the texturing. I am planning to get photo shop. So please could help?

With lots and lots of patience and practice, there is so much hand painting in stockalike it really helps if you have some artistic skills. As for changing the textures you don't need blender at all unless you are completely redoing the map and uv's . Thats all I can tell you lots of practice or skill
