To make a skin is not difficult, but the best and easiest way to make one is to use an existing template.
These are files consisting of numerous layers, each containing part of the skin. This allows changes to be made easily, without effecting other parts of the image. For instance you can place markings, numbers or nose art 'under' rivets, dirt, oil stains, lines and so on.
You can download templates from sites like Mission4Today, Simmerspaintshop and also several here in the skins section.
