about trim colors

Some vehicles in gta5 cannot change default trim color, for example my favourite suv cavalcade, but I really want to change it to brown. My friend told me I can do that by changing a number in carcols or carvariations but I have no idea how to do it. Anyone know?

To choose what colours are applied to the various colour changeable parts of a vehicle, you edit the number values in each of the multiple '<indices' sections for that vehicle in 'carvariations.ymt':

...\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\update.rpf\x64\data\carvariations.ymt

Example:

    <Item>
      <modelName>cavalcade</modelName>
      <colors>
        <Item>
          <indices content="char_array">
            11     - **First value is Primary Colour**
            11     - **Second value is Secondary Colour**
            5      - **Third value is Pearlescent Colour**
            156    - **Fourth value is Alloy Wheel Colour**
            0      - **Fifth value is ??? Colour** (usually set to '0' (Black), can't remember what it controls, easy to test & find out tho)
            0      - **Sixth value is ??? Colour** (also usually set to '0' (Black), can't remember what it controls etc)
          </indices>

Download & view LSC Vehicle Colours Index to see what numbers match up to what colours.

If you play about with the 5th & 6th number values. Remind me what coloured parts they change. Cheers.

Thanks for your help，but no matter which number I use，the trim color remains same. Maybe I need to find another way instead.
