PAINTKIT – Weathered Citation CJ4 v1.0
This paintkit of the Citation CJ4 can be used to apply basic weathering to any other CJ4 livery. The paintkit can be applied by putting your livery as layers under the weathering mask layers and then saving the resulting DDS into your skin’s folder. See example skin here: https://www.allflightmods.com/microsoft-flight-simulator-2020/msfs2020-liveries/weathered-citation-cj4-v1-0/
The paintkit features:
8 Photoshop PSD files – 1 ALBD Albedo file and 1 COMP Composite file for each of: the Fuselage, Wings, Engines and Front Landing Gears.
All ALBDs and COMPs are in 2K resolution, except for the Fuselage ALBD which is scaled up to 8K. Scale up or down as desired.
Weathering Mask in each ALBD file which can be tweaked in strength by adjusting opacity as desired
Green fill added to each COMP file to reduce reflectivity: increase the opacity (currently at 15%) to reduce reflectivity more and make the skin more matte, reduce the opacity to increase reflectivity back to normal.
Weathered skin features:

Slight added transparency on the base livery file to depict loss of color to sun-bleaching
Adjustments to reflectivity to make this plane lose its shine
Panel shading to depict grime buildup and sun-bleaching over the middle of panels
