That is amazing.



How do you keep coming up with these?



Is there a way you choose where to put the coloured patches, stripes and decals etc? Cos when I try to do a 'Hertz inspired' design, I come up massively short.



Is there a technique you use to figure out how the car will look with all the colours you choose?



Maybe one day you could write a bit of a guide or maybe just a short blurb, cos these things are truly professional quality.



Keep up the amazing work.



Ps. Can I suggest maybe a YouTube logo somewhere.... Click to expand...

Well, to be honest with you I don't have a recipe for paints, it just flows. To me is like a puzzle, just putting together fitting piecesBefore you start the job you should at least have a main sponsor, so you know what colors are you gonna work with, how to prepare layout so the main sponsor is clearly visible etc. If the base design is very busy, than make sure to outline the main sponsor logo cause it will make it pop more.The best way to start a paint is to take at least two colors of the main sponsor, three if it has a lot of colors and one mess with them. You can add an extra color or remove one of the colors you previously chosen and replace it with a different one that will help make a contrast with other two. From now on you just go with the flow of the body of the car, that will always guarantee at least a decent looking base design. From that point you just mess with it a little adding some more things to it. Even the smallest addition can change the look a lot.Secondary sponsors are also very important in terms of layout and colors. Wise choice and placement will make the design look more complete.I'm really not too good with explaining things, it's hard cause I don't think I do anything special with those cars and it feels very natural to me. If you guys have any questions I can answer them, that will make it a little easierAs for the YouTube logo, yeah, It will be there somewhere, that was the plan, along with NeoGaf logo
