Battlefield Bad Company 2 : Spray wrap on BMW X5
This is nothing to do with me, but some russians posted this BMW on youtube with the background music and sprayed some images on the side from the game. I really like it
Also this is a blatant plug to see if there is any more sign makers who play BFBC2 mainly on the PC?
Let me know ur gamer and well meet up for a few games on our server. I currently know 4 ex/existing signmakers playing with us.

Look nice, but what’s it got to do with sign making or vehicle wrapping?

It’s airbrushed which is associated with signs in quite a big way. I use the airbrush to add fades and different effects to lettering.
The thing is it takes a lot more skill and talent to do this than to wrap a vehicle and I hope I’m not going to offend anyone saying that.

Sorry I just re-read my post and it came across a bit sarcastic – sorry about that.
I agree it takes a lot of skill to airbrush like this – but when did we start calling airbrushing ‘spray wrapping’? I think wrapping and spraying are two entirely different fields of expertise.
As for more talent – I think that’s debatable. You would still need the artistic skills to design the wrap in the first place, let alone make a good job of applying it.
If it were my X5 i’d rather have a wrap I could remove than be stuck with a permanent finish. That gives me an idea…
(-) Could you wrap a car in transparent vinyl then airbrush on top?

Hi Owen, didn’t mean to be arsey, I’m just a bit defensive where paint is involved 😉
As far as your question I guess it could be feasible as I’ve airbrushed on vinyl which has then been applied to vehicles.
You’d still have to flat the vinyl down and lacquer it afterwards. -
i posted it for two reasons….
1: its cool, its different and it might not be what we normally term as vehicle wrapping and it fits in the BC2 styling lol
2: its a plug for the best game out there at the moment and trying to find those who could be playing ityeah i would want it removable as well, but what about spraying over the top?

quote OwenTaylor:As for more talent – I think that’s debatable.I take it from this comment Owen, that you have never picked up an airbrush 😕
Neil’s comment said it takes more talent to airbrush well, than to wrap a vehicle and I would have to agree.
Nice link Dave, takes me back to the Custom Car days.

I think this is fantastic, when I had my bodyshop one of the guys who worked for me was very handy with an air brush, hes now a full time tattooist and can draw free hand. This work is far in front of any wrapper, designer as its all free hand no undo button on the mouse! great looking job and glad I no longer spend hours pulling the trigger in the oven.

I done some work with one of the large car companies that broke into the Emerging Russian market a few years ago and apparently most of the high end cars are airbrushed it helps stop them from being stolen as is too much of a problem to respray.
Also interestingly when building dealerships they had to build a bank counter with time locked strongroom in the dealership to deal with the cash payments and had armed guards on the entrance (:)

Well you got me there 🙂 I haven’t touched an airbrush since college. I totally admire the way the designs seem to materialise from nothing. I agree it takes an immense amount of skill to be able to visualise and create something like this and years of experience with an airbrush.
My point is that you need a really wide range of skills to be able to be able to create the same effect using a vinyl wrap, if you were one guy doing it from start to finish.
1. You still need to create the artwork (a skill in itself) which has to be drawn in photoshop. Ok there is an undo button but I wouldn’t call it easy.
2. Print and laminate – a good working knowledge of wide format printing and laminating techniques.
3. Prep the vehicle and apply the wrap. A skill which the majority of uksb forum users say is one of the most difficult things to master (unless something difficult comes along, then it’s a walk in the park).
