New Paint Scheme/Livery
#1
As the season begins to draw near. My car either needs to be painted/vinyled etc. I have been working with various shops and am now working with Raail Performance Coatings.

So now I have to decide on a livery/paint scheme for my car.. I know some of you are very artistic while I remain desperately and utterly hopeless in that department.

A very simple and nice scheme I have considered is this:

White Base Car
Simple wide black stripe down the middle of the car running back to front. This is flanked by skinnier laguna seca blue stripe and a grey stripe on the outside (mirrored on both sides).
So down the middle of the car: (grey stripe)(blue)(black)(blue)(grey)

Then down the side a somewhat interpretive version of the hockey stripe down the sides with the same colors. This would include painting all my wheels llaguna seca blue/grabber blue.

Kind of like this with the addition of the blue:

I am open to any ideas so bring them at me! I would be open to existing liveries as well.

FYI I hate the circle with the numbers, so I would do that differently.

Raail is good people! But honestly the graphics on that Porsche are very meh. I can understand if you want to keep it on the simpler side but I think there is a lot more potential especially when you win as many races as you do. Going a bit wilder suits your driving style.

That's easy. Just leave it downtown overnight. The street kids will take care of that.

So aside from Mikey, this was mostly useless Tongue. How about we turn this into, what is your favorite livery thread?

Martini is always very cool and is very easy to create. Doing the original blues/red never looks bad and the more muted black/grey/silver looks cool as well. We did a martini cayman and it turned out awesome. Message me if you want some details. Gulf is iconic. Of course you have a plethora of BMW art cars to pull inspiration from. Senna's Marlboro livery. Rothmans Porsche livery is classic and simple. Another simple BMW spec livery is the Warsteiner DTM livery. I could go on and on with these.

I have considered the warsteiner DTM livery and it's just a little played out for me personally.

I personally like fairly simple or COMPLETELY wild. I know, 2 extremes, but that is how I feel.

I also like this, except for swooping curves, the lines would be more straight/angular

subtle is often more striking if the color scheme is chosen well
