Need For Speed :: San Andreas

Hi, friends!
There is something w/ my vinyls. I think i'ts a bug.
It was happening all the time I play NFS:SA.
Here are all the screenshots w/ comments.

---

Screenshot 1. When I'm using Standard paint, vinyls are OK.


Screenshot 2. I enter the Paint Shop.


Screenshot 3. I select Matte paint. (Matte paint is chosen for example. The same happens w/ any other paint, but Standard.)
In the Paint Shop vinyls are still looking as they should do.


Screenshot 4. I exit the Paint Shop, and here's the bug: vinyls get blurred.


Screenshot 5. I enter the Paint Shop again and vinyls stay blurred there.


Screenshot 6. And they go usual only after I update the paint (switch it to another >here it comes normal< and switch back).
But if I exit the Paint Shop, vinyls get blurred again (all repeats from screenshot 3).


Screenshot 7. When I switch to Standard paint, and exit the Paint Shop, vinyls stay in good resolution.

And here're some facts that may help you help me :
♦ I tried all the graphics setting in F11 menu and in MTA Settings (like "Always render vehicles in high detail", "Vinyls quality", ...). It didn't help.
♦ When vinyls are blurred, "Vinyls quality" option still works: if I set it lower, it makes my blurred vinyls more blurred.
♦ I tried to enter another Shop or a Garage, but vinyls stay blurred either in there, or after exiting.
♦ Reconnection and MTA restarting don't help, too.
♦ Decals don't get blurred. Only vinyls do.
♦ I've already tried it w/ different cars and different paint styles w/ the same result.

Some people say there's something w/ my PC settings, but w/o any specific recommendations.
If you need some more info, I'm ready to reply.
Hope you'll help me. Thanks in advance. 

P.S. You can view screenshots using RMB.

When you press F9 ingame, go to FAQ. There is an instruction how to force Anisotropic filtering for GTA SA on your graphics card control panel. Try to do that, it should help. Restart MTA after you changed the settings.
Maybe try to change vinyl quality to high and set the Anisotropic filtering in the MTA Settings under Video tab (press ESC) and restart MTA after it.

Also quick tip: rightclick and copy the image address of your screenshots to insert them correctly. They have to end with .jpg .png and so on. Links without endings aren't pictures, they are galleries.
