I have a mesh2 that I would like to repaint without creating multiple mesh2
objects in memory

Here;s the deal:

The mesh is a car I converted using PoseRay.  I want the windows/headlights
etc. to remain the same texture, but the car body to be randomized.

right now, I have:

object{ car translate... }

I would like to be able to re-color just the car body somehow without
creating multiple versions of the exact same mesh.

I thought of using a macro, but that would load the car in multiple times as
well, wouldn't it?

If I cant do what I want then perhaps I'll just make 5 or 6 versions and
randomly choose from them.

This scene requires many models of various cars to be placed, and I'd rather
not have to create each instance separately.

To start you off. If I remember correctly, PoseRay creates a separate INC
file with the material definitions. You can copy and rename this file. Edit
it then reference it in your object.
