Everything about it
Details
Description
Most custom car art is made by illustrators working from a phone snap taken in a car park. We come at it the other way round: photographing cars is the whole business, so we know what makes a frame worth putting on a wall — and what to do when the photo you have is not quite it.
If your picture will not carry a print, we will tell you before we take the order rather than after.
Your car, rendered as an art print. Send the photograph after you order — yours, or one of a car belonging to someone you are buying for — and we work it into one of three finishes on heavyweight matte art paper.
Nothing is generated. The artwork is made from your photograph, so the car in the print is the actual car: the right wheels, the right ride height, the right paint under the right light.
You approve a proof before it goes to print. If something is wrong, we change it.

FAQs
- How do I send my photo?
- Order first, then send the photograph to us by email with your order number. We will confirm we can work with it before doing anything else.
- What if my photo is not good enough?
- We will tell you, and say why. Usually it is resolution, heavy motion blur, or a night shot with no detail in the paint. If it cannot carry the size you chose, we will make it at the largest size it does carry and refund the difference, or refund you in full — your choice.
- Which size can my photo actually carry?
- These are large prints, so resolution matters more than it would on a small one. A 12 megapixel phone picture spreads to about 134 dpi across 30 inches, which reads well on a wall — that size is fine from a good phone shot. 36 × 24 in wants roughly 19 megapixels, which in practice means a camera file. If your photo will not carry the size you picked, we tell you before doing any work.
- Do I see it before it is printed?
- Yes. We send a proof and print nothing until you approve it. If we have not heard from you within three days of sending the proof, we print it as shown so your order is not left sitting.
- How many changes can I ask for?
- Two rounds of revisions are included, sent within two working days each. Beyond that we will quote before doing more.
- Is this AI-generated?
- No. The artwork is produced from your photograph by image processing — the shapes, the light and the car are all from your frame. Nothing is invented or hallucinated.
- Can I return it?
- Custom prints cannot be returned or refunded once approved and printed, which is why the proof step exists. If it arrives damaged we will replace it.
