If you save it with a file name starting with a #, you can then quickly convert it to playable skin with ctrl+P in the 'paint a car' menu. This convertion applies the vehicle occlusion mask (it's easier to modify the #version without this layer).
This currently doesn't work

What do you mean exactly? Please always be more specific. "It doesn't work" is not a valid and sufficient remark.

Did you also consider this?

-Paint your skin in the painter, it will save the .tga when you save the skin.
-Do not use the Prelight Layer.
-When happy, go back to the painter skin selection, select a # skin, and press ctrl+P. It will generate a new skin file named without the # (#MYSkinHD.zip==>MYSkinHD.zip). In this zip it is a downsized 1024x1024 SkinDiffuse.dds, with the PreLight Layer applied.

-In the Profile menu you can't select a # skin or skin with a .tga inside, however you will be able to select the generated skin.
I just tried and the painter is creating the new skin.

So, what exactly is not working for you?

I tried with LagoonCar by creating a skin with name starting with #, and replaced SkinDiffuse.dds with SkinDiffuse.tga, and when I clicked the "paint" button to enter the painter, it just loaded back into the car skin selector.
