You might want to check out the article I posted here in this thread (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=392677). It explains all the basics of texturing.

Did you actually read Leigh's article?? dont undertsand how that didnt answer your question

If you are painting a colour map then you will first have to lay out the UVs for your model. This gives you a flattened wire frame of your model. You then use the UV layout as a guide to paint over

:surprised

That article covers all the topics that absolutely answer the question you're asking. If you cannot understand that from reading it, then you're either not understanding the article at all, or you're looking for the wrong answer.
