I had this problem for over 1 year!! i searched everywhere and i couldnt find a solution.

This morning, i copied the paint.dll and paint.mi files from my friend's comp ( he had 3.5.6.8 version and i use 3.5.1.2) and when i ran maya, my car paint worked!!!!

Just replace the paint.mi and paint.dll with a newer version.

hi..

sorry for diging an old grave.. but i think replacing the dll and mi files did not work good for me.. The solution is that error occurs if u install maya on a FAT32 HD drive. Install it in a NTFS drive and u get no problem. I have no clue why it gives an error in FAT 32.. But this works.. good luck rendering..
