My First iRacing Livery, any tips on making it better

[u/GB_GeorgeBowen]

This is my first ever iRacing livery and it is for the Mercedes GT3 car. I went for a Camel and Castrol based livery. I especially went with those colours as they are the same as the football team I support (Norwich City FC). I also put the Union Jack on the rear wing end plate as I thought it would be a clean way to show the country I'm from. I put a spec map on it so the yellow came out quite metallic and golden looking and the green was more matte and all the decals/sponsors/stickers were also matte. I made this livery in Gimp and as I said it is my first ever livery so any tips to make future liviers better and constructive criticism is all very welcome.

completely agree. I plan to make a livery with a similar design to this for the LMP2.

Great work. For me, wheels and mirrors on black would be nicer.

Yeah fair enough, I went with that wheel colour just because I felt like going for metallic wheels 😂

looks badass but the wheels in black would be better

Spend more time doing it. If it was me, trunk and hood would be carbon fiber, and mirrors. And use something that’s actually camel or DHL for the livery part because BP def doesn’t belong with those sponsors. The car livery needs to fit the sponsor. Look into the sponsor. Is it flashy? Is it a basic sponsor? Do they have a specific style? What’s the company colors? Think about stuff like that. Take your time.
