To install skins you need to create a folder named "custom" in the (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/portal 2/portal2/ directory, and then make another folder inside "custom" with any name you want.
After resolving your crash, I'd try putting the new pak01 in that folder and see if it works for you, though it seems an unconventional method of installing a skin.
As for the crash, you need to get your original pak01 back. To do that, you should probably delete the new one and let the game install the original.

I think this site could benefit from a full aesthetic/functionality overhaul. Like the Black Mesa forums. They had a site overhaul recently and personally I've found the new forum much easier to use.
Plus, I kinda find all this white a little blinding.

Can you post a link to the skin you're trying to use? I'd like to take a look at how the files are put together.

Okay, I get it now. The installation instructions on this are either outdated or completely wrong. At least, I've never seen a skin installation like this before.
What you want to do is make sure you have those folders I said to set up before (a "custom" folder (without the quotes) in SteamAppscommonPortal 2portal2, and another folder inside that of any name).
Then simply extract the contents of _3189-.zip into that folder.
Let me know if this works.
EDIT: I just tested this myself, it didn't work, so nevermind. I'll do some fiddling. Sit tight.
