Vanwall Mercedes AMG GT3 Evo || ACC Custom Livery

Ah, Colin Kolles (born Călin Colesnic). The man is turning out to be one of my favourite memes in the racing world. After years of managing or advising backmarker teams in Formula 1, he’s had multiple attempts at building and running a car in the World Endurance Championship (WEC). First under the ByKolles moniker, later adopting the legendary Vanwall name. Whereas the performance of the ByKolles cars has always been rather dreadful. They seemed to want to turn a new leaf by building their own Hypercar. They took the name...

Gulf GPX Porsche 992 Cup || ACC Custom Livery

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I remember the days, over a decade ago, when Sean Bull (under the pseudonym Bullystoke) would post his fantasy livery creations to Reddit. I’ve watched him grow from an upstart to one of the most well-known livery designers of today. Now, I’m one of those people myself, an upstart posting liveries to Reddit. I’m starting with this anecdote because this livery is a direct imitation of the design Sean did for GPX, the UAE-based team. I was requested to take one of their...

#WeRaceAsOne Porsche 992 GT3 R || ACC Custom Livery

Back at the start of the year, which now feels like ages ago, I uploaded my #WeRaceAsOne Porsche livery (linked below). This was done as an act of protest against a new rule the FIA published in the rulebook, preventing drivers from speaking up about injustices. I picked the FIAs own slogan of inclusivity as a subject, aiming to point out the hypocrisy of the FIA. You can read my full motivation in the post linked below. Well, now I got commissioned to make a similar livery for the new...

LSM Racing Ferrari 296 GT3 || ACC Custom Livery

When making commissions, it is not about what the creator likes, it is about what the customer likes. And this customer had a skateboard deck with a skull design they wanted me to feature prominently on the livery. And that is exactly what I did, even if it wouldn’t be my personal choice. With the same love and care I make all my liveries. However, before I could do so, I had to recreate a usable version of the design to feature on the car. Luckily, I’ve become pretty handy...

Team Salzburg Porsche 992 Cup || ACC Custom Livery

I love Porsche’s classic liveries, and apparently at least a few of you guys do too. At least, according to my data. So it came as no surprise that I received a request to port my Team Salzburg livery, which I made for the Porsche 992 GT3 R, to the Porsche 992 Cup car. You can read more about the history of the original Team Salzburg livery (and get the livery I made prior) at the link below. For this iteration of the livery, I went a bit further in...

WIAWIS Lexus RC F GT3 || ACC Custom Livery

When you make custom liveries on commission, you sometimes get requests from unexpected directions. It al depends on the interests of the person requesting the commission. And this person’s interests? Professional archery. The subject: the Lexus RC F GT3, a car for which I hadn’t made a livery in a long time. Archery on the other hand is a topic I don’t know that much about, although I did watch it at the Tokyo Olympics. Fortunately for me, making a livery themed around archery was, for me, mostly about using...

KVDS Racing Porsche 992 GT3 || ACC Custom Livery

Some liveries are born out of pure inspiration. Others require more hard work. The end result can in both cases still be a banger of livery. Like this Porsche, I made for KVDS from Belgium. Their prompt was not that simple. They wanted a green with white livery, including blue accents. The green was meant to represent Ireland, their favourite country to visit on holidays. They also wanted me to include an angular pattern not unlike the design on the tailfin of Etihad Airways aeroplanes. They also noted that they...

Coca-Cola No Sugar Ferrari 296 GT3 || ACC Custom Livery

Sometimes, making a livery seems like an insurmountable task. But, once you start thinking strategically about how you want to tackle making it, it is all of a sudden not that hard. This is not just true for making liveries but for most things in life. This livery (as pictured below), commissioned to me, was one of those. At first glance, it seems like a very difficult design. But once you understand how it is done, it was fairly straightforward to create. The only thing that added some difficulty, was...

Roberts Racing Porsche 992 GT3 || ACC Custom Livery

I’ve been making liveries on commission for over a year now, so it is no surprise that I keep getting more and more return customers. People who have been happy with my work in the past and who want more. Either a new livery, or their previous livery ported to a different car against a reduced rate. Since I already have an idea of what the livery should look like, and it is only a matter of making it fit with the car’s bodywork, I spend less time coming up...

Parry Martini Porsche 992 Cup || ACC Custom Livery

Martini liveries are a staple in modern and historic racing. Formula 1, Sportscars/Endurance, Rally, even the GT World Challenge have had iterations of Martini’s iconic racing liveries. So far, I hadn’t made any Martini-inspired liveries myself. But as this post proves, all that has changed thanks to a recent commission. The request was to make a Martini livery for the Porsche 992 CUP-car, while taking the GPX Martnii livery from 2021’s GT World Challenge (as pictured below) as an example. And so I did. I give it my own twist...
