Fancy skinning a real race car?

[Edward Leake]

As a bit of fun does anyone fancy the challenge of 'skinning' my real Honda Accord racing car?

It's currently a blank black car and requires an eye catching design, obviously I can only provide a photo(s) so you'd be photoshopping a skin on to the car not a template.

I hope this doesn't contravene the rules, I thought it would be a break from the norm.

Nice challenge, would like to see how it evolves!

edit: as for reference what could be done like that...

You want someone to make a skin for your car, so if we make it on a template, render it, you can see how to translate it to your real car?

Well my race car is the 98-03 shape Accord and not the 03-07 shape as seen in the current WTCC. So unfortunately we can't use the skin template in Race 07.

I guess this would lend more to 'photoshop' skills than skinning in the traditional sense.

What would be cool is if someone made a nice design I'd actually have it cut from vinyl and applied to the car - you'd see your work racing around for real, and on TV too!

maybe if you look into rfactor, or "racer" you can find the car, and who know's your also lucky to get a template

I still love this skin, It just keeps bringing a smile to my face every time I see it.
