Blender -- new polygons are white and will not map to image.4

[HSovieticus]

In Blender, when I add new polygons to the mesh of piece of amour, they are white in the viewport and will not display the texture even when they are UV mapped to it. The only thing that works is to create a whole new uv map from scratch. How do I get these polygons to display the image they are mapped along with the rest of the model?

I'm far from an expert, but I'm pretty sure that you will have to make a fresh unwrap of the armor in order for the new vertices and faces to have the texture put on them.

Is there any way around it? Does the same thing occur when creating new polygons in 3DS Max? Maya? It's a major pain to UV unwrap the entire mesh and bake each time you want to go back and add something.
