Its not a tutorial per say but I have a development post from my mod where I talk about my approach to shading here ; http://www.stunodracing.net/index.p...racing-mod-development-thread.8263/post-84316
The most important thing to remember about shading is for a paint scheme on a fully white and then fully black base color the highlights/shading will need to appear for both. So with the use of blend layers it can make sure your shading/outline details always appear on a base regardless of its color.
As far as custom parts, it comes down to creating shapes and layers with textures/textures you generate from scratch and using shading/depth to give it the appearance as a car part. The hardest parts are lights either the front or rear lights. I use a lot of layers to create the reflection and refraction effects all the plastic and glass inside a light has so it looks realistic. Also for LED lighting I like to use a texture or a grid pattern and overlay it will a plastic/glass texture with blend modes to give them depth.
