Guide on how to skin and make custom decals?

[That Robot is a Spy!]

Is there one?

There may be one, but skinning bots and most components isn't a difficult process. As long as they are .bmp files, they can be edited with MSPaint or whatever.

As far as the decals, I know that they have to be a .tga file of a certain size and may have to be a certain resolution. They can't be edited in MSPaint.

I'll try making a guide during my winter break.

I have always aspired to make a guide... but I use an outdated ancient version of Photoshop.

Would be cool if someone made a guide that was applicable for GIMP or Paint.net.

How outdated? I used to use Photoshop 7. Then I got Elements 9, and then Elements 7.
