Now that Ford unveiled their "farewell" liveries for this year's Le Mans, I might as well do those too. They're WEC liveries, though, but I can modify them into IMSA's :)
 
Here is my take on ESM and Ferrari. This 458(Sub for the 488) shows how ESM Could have looked had they persisted to 2019 under Ferrari's GT Programme. It follows the 2019 Regulation Rulebook, with Numberboards, Class Tags, and required sponsors being given by Artificial Sky.

Tell me what you guys think. This is a 2-Day Project utilizing both Adobe Illustrator and the Editor to complete the design.

Great job getting the shiny silver stripes to show through, and the matte finish together. I've done a few of these myself, and it's not easy. Have to paint the whole car chrome, liquid, aluminium, etc, and the overlay all your striping. I'm guessing you did the matte black from the editor since you can only paint the car one or the other. Very nice job.:cheers:

Thank you, this design right here is one of my personal Favorites. For the stripes, it actually wasn't that hard to get the silver streaks and wisps I wanted, as the base was imagined, and manufactured in Adobe, then it was imported to GT Sport to be colored in.

Here is the base for the original, the dots showed what was supposed to be colored in. Though it still took 200+ Decals to fill in because of all the weird and precise patterns.
 
@DJDialga1 it looks awesome. I know how hard it is to make something like it.

Did something similar but not this nice

So if you could share the car it would be awesome! Do you have a link

As of recent I have no plans to share this works as it is only my show car as of now, used to advertise the quality of my designs and what I am capable of creating given my tools and time. Though I do have other works I am willing to share which will be shown here later after I get them up to IMSA Spec. I also accept requests if you'd be willing to as well, though it'll take some time due to my current schedule, feel free to leave one and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
 
Here is my next work. A simple design I did for the 20 Minute Challenge post using minimal Stripes and gradients to create a soft yet race-like design. It is my take on what a Turner BMW M4 GT4 would look like for IMSA's Michelin 2019 Pilot Challenge.

The design is very simplistic and minimalist, allowing it to be seen boldly and full of color. It also makes it easy to place all sorts of sponsors.

Please feel free to tell me what you think of the design for a 20 minute Project. (Plus an extra 5 to clean up the sponsor Placement and angle/depth Limits)

I used no more than 60 Decals in total.
 
New to this group, but my buddy and I spend our days on GT Sport making replica liveries of the 60's and 70's. Here is our latest that was completed Friday night. Sadly this is only for IMSA, because we've done quite a few killer SCCA liveries, as well as period NHRA Pro Stock drag racers. I just don't want to break the rules. We hand make a lot of our decals.

Sorry for being late on this, but can I use the same numbers as on the Weathertech cars? Or can I not change the color on them?
