Motorsport · Race and rally car liveries

Liveries for five very different competition cars: Elliot Payne’s Ford Fiesta, a Mk2 Escort, a Castrol BMW, a Rally GT Aston Martin and an autograss Mini pick-up, each drawn first and then wrapped.

The brief

Every car that comes to us for the track starts the same way: a render of the livery on the car, from the top, the front, the sides and the back, so the owner can see exactly how it will look before anything is printed.

The cars here could hardly be more different. Elliot Payne’s Ford Fiesta rally car in Mango Go! colours, a red and black Mk2 Escort for K. Newby Auto Services, a Castrol tribute livery on a BMW 3 Series, Aston Martin racing green with lime stripes for a Rally GT car, and a red Mini pick-up for autograss with our own name on the grille.

Each one is shown below with its render beside the finished car.
