What aircraft are you painting?

I'm guessing your saving under the wrong format, when I very first started repainting I painted an add-on PC-7 and saved it as the wrong format and the entire airplane was black.

If its a FSX default aircraft make sure you save it as a .DDS

BMP files will work on default, but DDS is better. If you save the image as a DDS file, remember to flip the image and alpha vertically within DXTBMP before saving.

Without knowing which aircraft you're repainting I suggest saving repainted textures in the same format as the original textures.
