Wrap not showing in Paint Shop
The checklist for a wrap that uploaded fine but never appears in the car.
Work through this list
- File name β only letters, digits,
_,-and spaces; 30 characters at most. This is the most common cause. - File size β under 1 MB. Re-export with fewer photos or simpler layers.
- Format β PNG, square, 512β1024 px.
- Count β ten already in the car? Remove one.
- Car awake β wake the car, then reopen Toybox β Paint Shop.
- Software β very old car software predates custom wraps. Update.
Exports from this editor already pass the first three; if you renamed the file afterwards, that is where to look.
A checklist in order of likelihood is in the complete Toybox custom wrap guide.
FAQ
- The app said the upload worked. Why is the car blank?
- The car checks the file, not the app. A name over 30 characters or with punctuation, or a file over 1 MB, is dropped without a message.
- Does the car need to be awake?
- Yes. If the car was asleep during the upload, wake it and reopen Paint Shop.
- Is there a limit?
- Ten wraps. The eleventh does not show until one is removed.
