If you try and change the paint you first need to understand how the truck is mapped to the textures it uses. Most if not all trucks use more than one texture and each part of the truck uses a specific area of a texture. To fix where it's "messed up" you need to remap it or carefully repaint exactly where it is already mapped.

Are you following a truck painting tutorial?
