My Winter Car – How to Change Car Color 

Since My Winter Car is all about owning and showing off your custom car, it would make sense that you would require the best car color that is suited to your style. Unfortunately, the game applies random trim colors whenever you get the car from Reijo, so you might have to resort to other means to get your desired car color.

How to Change Car Color by Rerolling in My Winter Car

Before speaking to Reijo to purchase the Corris Rivet, make a save file by heading over to your toilet. After that, purchase the Corris Rivet from him for500 mk. In case the color isn’t to your liking, reload your last save and repeat the process till you get your desired color.

Using Player Save Files to Change Car Color

There is another way to change your car color, and that is to get another player’s save file and merge it with yours. Just copy the savefile.txt from the other player’s save file and paste it into your save file folder. You could also use mods to change your car color.
