    Default Graphic Artist to do paint schemes

    Hello all,

    does anyone on this forum do, or know someone who can do Photoshop or some other paint program for doing paint schemes on open wheel race cars?

    thanks in advance

    I would imagine any of the vinyl-graphics people in your town can wrap you car in whatever you want. My brother has a pickup wrapped in the flag, and I know one guy who had a solar system motif wrapped on his Zink at VIR. I don't know about the weight [vs paint], however.

    Thanks Jim, but what I am after is a bunch of different combinations done on paper, so I am able to decide just which way to go before the wrap.

    The shops may be able to do some variations for you on their computers. I did a sketch and used tracing paper and markers, myself [20 years ago]

    One of kart racing buddies does great graphics work. He just did all the kart wraps for the Indy karts at Robo Pong. Tyler Graff, High School kid. I'll try to find his contact info. He did custom lightning bolts for our karts. Very creative kid

    No doubt he is an artist in every sense of the word. He is good and will give you layouts in different views that you hand to the painter/sticker/sign company and say make my car look like this.

    Good lord, I used to spend days and nights doing the kind of thing Blair is asking for. Got pretty good at it too.

    But I no longer have a copy of Paint Shop Pro nor the necessary template.

    Shane oconner did an amazing job with his local graphic guy. And he knew what he was doing with cars and renderings.

    Shane is on the forum and lives in bc.

    I would also recommend Alex Wakefield. I was recently introduced to him and I am extremely impressed with his work.
