Hi @Anonymous

It looks like you only did an Automatic Mapping and didn't properly UV map the model.

You'll want to break up the model into a handful of shells so you can save on space and make those shells larger so you'll have more room to texture. One trick for example would be to UV map the wheels and then stack their shells on top of each other. That way they'll all share the same tire texture but take up 1/4 the amount of space.

You could also use UDIM texturing. You can find a tutorial on that here:

If you need more assistance or still aren't understanding this, I'd be happy to take a look at your file and make a quick tutorial for you! All you need to do is zip and attach the scene file here or via dropbox/google drive or another file sharing program so I can take a look at it!

Please let me know if this helps or if you need any more assistance!
