Thanks for your help in advance!

Probably a stupid question but does it all match the UV map if you load it in photoshop?

AssassinoZockt

Yep, it does.

What kind of weapon finish are you using in the workshop? The only way to modify the skin entirely is to use the custom paint job finish.

You need to set the alpha channel correctly because right now it's ignoring the scope and barrel due to the "paint by numbers" system.

Read through this: CS:GO Durability and Masking

You can override the "paint by numbers" by using any gray below 128 on that area of the alpha. It should come out fine after that.

I found the sollution.
You go to channels in photoshop and it should be one named Alpha , make it visible and color all the channel in black. But only in that channel. That work for me.

Making the whole alpha channel isn't the best solution to this because it will make the gun never wear at all, which I think might hurt your gun's chances. You should only darken the areas of the gun that you need to override and try to get it the right value so that it still wears, but doesn't interfere with the design of the gun.

Here is the part of the documentation on this.
