CIT fix
Cannot use a group or squad skin shader, or my group vehicle shader is gone
A group's whitelist only lets you use its custom skin shaders if the group is L1 or higher. Group and squad vehicle shaders are removed the next time you spawn your vehicle after you leave.
Steps
Check the group level or squad size
Players on a group's whitelist can use that group's custom skin shaders without being members. This only works if the group is L1 or higher. For a squad, the squad must have more than 20 members.

The group adds you with /groupwhitelist
The group manages its whitelist with /groupwhitelist. Ask the group to add you to it.

Squads use their own whitelist
Only for a squad shader.
The squad uses /squadwhitelist to choose which players or squads may use its squad shaders.

The whitelist can be full
Only if the group or squad cannot add you.
The group whitelist holds up to 20 groups and 40 accounts. The squad whitelist holds up to 5 squads and 10 accounts.

Vehicle shaders go when you leave
Only after you left the group or squad.
Group or squad vehicle shaders are removed the next time you spawn your vehicle after you leave that group or squad.
