Vertex paint example on vanilla E60

NOTE 1: When using company colors, it's best to have the painted surfaces of white color, so that the coloring gives best results.

Texture preparation for company colors

NOTE 2: Different vertex colors can be combined so you can have Company colors on wagon door that are "animated" in the station.
NOTE 3: Cargo load percentage distribution (in the range of 0-128) are up to the creator.
