Preface & advance notice

Hello, Hello.

First of all, I would like to introduce myself. My name is CTA. I am a “car tattoo artist”. In recent years, the car body color change is deeply loved by car owners in the modification industry. compared with spray painting, film color change can not only simply change the color for the car, senior players can also participate in the design, painting the car body into a more personalized appearance, the most important thing is, this will not only protect the car paint, there will be no loss in second-hand transactions in the future.

In addition, the state also issued laws and regulations for the car body color change film, in addition to the main color, other colors as long as not more than 30%, can be put on record, this is to let the car body color change set off an upsurge.

And I, as a “car tattoo artist”, is to provide design services for customers with specific needs, as long as you come up with it, I can help you achieve it.

Recently, I received a very interesting little sister who not only wanted to change her BMW 5-series color, but also had a different need, so I was found everywhere. Let’s take a look at the story between this cool little sister and her car, the BMW 5-Series.

Without saying much, let’s start with a few trailers. Take your time, everyone.

Car tattoo artist

As a designer, I have received too many customers in recent years. With the development of the times, more and more car owners are no longer satisfied with a single color change. They want the body painting to have more personality and labeling.

And I define the work of body modification and painting as a “car tattoo artist”. Like tattoos on the body, cars also have a soul, especially the owners of each car, they all have their own stories. I just put their stories on the car.

My name is CTA. I am a “car tattoo artist”. It is my mission to provide personalized painting for each car.

Creation is always lonely, and only in loneliness can there be unlimited inspiration and inspiration.

My dream is to hope that more and more individualized painted cars on the road are made by me.

Cool little sister and her BMW 5-Series

After the introduction of a friend, a BMW 5-Series owner found me. The little sister looks very gentle on the surface, but when you get to know her, you will certainly think that this little sister is “cute in contrast”!

Next, let’s take a look at this little sister and her car.

The little sister’s car is the 2018 BMW 525Li M sports suit, and white is also the best-selling color of the car.

Compared to the deluxe version, the M sports version looks more radical, and the M Power-style kit looks very sporty.

Am I right? the little sister herself looks very elegant and introverted.

The side lines of this generation of BMW 5-Series are very strong, and the straight waistline looks very sharp.

The shape of the rear of the car is not much different from that of the previous generation, but the square exhaust vents with double sides still look cool.

The little sister’s name is Candy, the name and appearance are very sweet, but in fact, the heart is very cool!

The rear of this generation BMW 5-Series is very layered, I personally still like this M sports suit version, after all, there is a Bimmer in my heart!

Blue sky and white clouds are the dream car of many people.

All right, after a brief look at this car, let’s learn the story of Candy and this car.

The original intention of choosing BMW 5-Series

In fact, every time before providing painting design services for customers, I will first understand the car owner’s experience of buying a car. In this way, we can not only understand her feelings for the car, but also understand whether the customer will sell the car soon. After all, I hope that the painted car can accompany her to go more ways.

Through communication, Candy bought the car at the end of 2018 and struggled for a long time before buying it. After all, it was the first car in her life.

When Candy graduated from college at the end of 2018, her family wanted to buy her a car as a gift, and the problem of choosing a car was left to her.

As a girl, Candy knows very little about cars. Apart from knowing some car brands, she doesn’t quite understand the quality, function and performance of vehicles.

But after all, it was her first car, so she did her homework! Find friends who understand the car to consult, check the Internet, forum diving, etc., using a variety of methods that can be thought of.

In fact, for Candy, she doesn’t have to worry too much about choosing a car. after all, there are other cars at home, as long as she likes it.

Speaking of this, I still envy this little girl. I drove a BMW at a young age, and there were not many objective factors in choosing a car.

At that time, the family gave 500000 of the budget, which also confused Candy, after all, there are too many models to choose from in this range.

“at that time, I read some car information and reviews online almost every day, and some of them I couldn’t understand, so I would go to the forum to read the car owners’ posts, and then I went to the store to see the real car, and it was very tiring to buy a car,” Candy recalled.

After watching the car for a week, Candy basically set its range on the BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. In fact, I am quite curious at this point, because I think she should choose a car with more petty bourgeoisie and personality. I don’t understand why she chooses a business-class car.

Then Candy gave me the answer. She thought the BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class would be more practical, and the brand had good gold content and quality, and it was more convenient for family members to use. (it seems that the little girl is still very considerate and not a selfish person.)

Candy did not struggle for a long time between the BMW 5-Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. After going to the store to see the car, Candy felt that the BMW 5-Series was more suitable for him and felt younger and more energetic.

After starting with the BMW 5-Series, Candy is still very satisfied. The young and sporty appearance and design made her feel cool.

Interior design also has a good sense of quality, and the details show the sincerity of BMW.

This BMW 5-Series has been with Candy for almost 3 years, and recently she wants to change the appearance of her car.

The reason for this idea is that, first of all, she thinks that white looks a bit monotonous, and secondly, she hopes that the car can stay with her for a longer time and has no idea of changing cars.

After learning the story of Candy and the car, here is the time for me to show my skills. I will definitely design a painting for this lovely girl that she is satisfied with.

Adhere to a professional attitude

Perhaps many people do not know much about the color change of the car body, and seem to think that this is a very simple modification operation. In fact, I think this matter is difficult to say, simple to say is simple, the focus is professional or not, here are some preparatory work to be done before the design.

This is our design and construction center. The next afternoon, Candy drove his car here to do the preparatory work before design and construction.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, this version of the 2018 BMW 525Li M sports suite came to me.

As a veteran car body color change, I will be responsible for every car that comes here, and when I drive out from here, it must be a new look.

Candy is very interested in this graffiti. She seems to be a cool girl in her heart.

This is our construction workshop, the design has a sense of the future, here also witnessed the “transformation” of many cars!

As soon as I got the car, I arranged for the deep appearance cleaning of the whole car.

Four professionals clean the vehicles from different angles, which is particularly important and plays a vital role in the film operation.

We can’t let go of every detail, just like making a deep Spa for the vehicle.

During the cleaning operation, the technician uses professional tools to remove the license plate.

After taking a deep bath, this BMW 5-Series is really very beautiful, and it seems that the owner of the car protects the paint surface of the vehicle very well.

After the vehicle is cleaned, the technician will carefully examine the defects and hard wounds on the surface of the car body, and be marked with beauty pattern paper. This is also to avoid unpleasant things to happen later.

After inspection, the technician will issue an inspection form and then submit it to the car owner for confirmation and signature.

There is a “red chain snake” in my heart

All right, the first one after picking up is finished. The following is to understand the specific needs of Candy’s car body painting for the car.

Below you will see the personality side of Candy, which is really in contrast to its appearance.

As soon as we met, Candy gave me a picture!

At the same time, she told me that this was her specific need and asked me to design the red chain snake in the photo to the car!

When I got the picture, I was really shocked! Although I belong to a snake and have a snake tattoo on my body, I suddenly see the lifelike red chain snake in the photo and break out in a cold sweat.

After learning about Candy’s demand, I couldn’t help asking her why she wanted to put the red chain snake on the car.

She talked about it.

In fact, Candy is a TV reporter, daily work is very busy, almost non-stop, this time to love car painting or to ask for leave from the unit.

Her spare time is limited, except that she likes to make coffee and occasionally goes to coffee classes, she has little time to participate in other activities.

So in her limited spare time, she likes to raise reptiles and read some related books.

In three years, she has raised more than 10 kinds of “strange” animals, such as lizards, spiders, chameleons and snakes, and for various reasons, the red chain snake has been unable to raise, she likes this kind of snake very much! So I want to put it in the car.

Candy also sent me a pot of flowers raised by her. For the sake of the little girl’s sincerity, I will certainly meet her requirements! Red chain snake, I’m coming.

The design comes from inspiration, but needs professional support.

To be honest, I was a little confused when I learned about the specific needs of Candy. In fact, this kind of concrete requirement is more difficult to achieve than abstract requirement, because if you want to design a concrete pattern on the car body, there will be two extremes, either very perfect or irrelevant!

Now Candy is really hard for me.

I stood by the window for a long time with a picture of the red chain snake. I really don’t have a clue, and then I want to start to understand its habits, which may help me to complete the design.

After searching the information on the Internet, I learned that the red chain snake (scientific name: Dinodon rufozonatum) is a kind of the family Serpent, also known as the fire chain, and the chain snake belongs to the non-venomous snake. It is a snake that often lives near hills, mountains, plains, field cottages and waters.

The total length of the red chain snake is about 1 meter, with a maximum of more than 1.5 meters. Dark brown on the back. Named for having more than 60 narrow red stripes, it feeds on fish, frogs, toads, lizards, snakes, birds and so on.

The red chain snake is more ferocious and mostly comes out in the evening and belongs to nocturnal snakes. Active after 10:00 in the evening, curl up motionless during the day, often coiling the head under the body.

Through the understanding of the red chain snake, I first determine the color scheme of the whole design.

Choose carmine as the red stripe on the red chain snake, can highlight the texture of the stripe, bright red is also more bright.

Secondly, PET extinction volcanic ash is selected as the detail embellishment, which brightens up and has a more layered feeling at the same time.

Finally, the self-repairing super bright black is chosen as the main hue. After all, the red chain snake likes to go out day and night, and the darkness belongs to its world.

After the color is determined, it is the design work, first through the sketch to outline the general lines, and then adjust with the software.

Find the model diagram of the BMW 5-Series from the original material library, and then compare and adjust the designed patterns.

In the end, the design plan came out, I am still very satisfied, but this is only the preliminary work, the specific effect depends on the effect of the finished product after construction.

I hope Candy will be satisfied with this design.

At the same time, it is also necessary to design a locally posted icon to facilitate technicians to compare it during construction.

When the “tattoo” is in progress.

To tell you the truth, the specific requirements of Candy not only have extremely high requirements for design, but also have higher requirements for construction difficulty. Compared with monochromatic painting, the construction with patterns and lines tests the experience and skills of technicians.

So this time I also arranged for the most experienced technicians to carry out the construction, and strive for the best finished product effect.

It is necessary to remove individual parts of the vehicle before applying the film, most of which are decorative strips and other parts.

Of course, the doorknob should also be removed, otherwise it will not be able to fit tightly.

Including the license plate frame of the original factory.

And headlights and taillights for vehicles. The demolition work should be stable and ruthless, otherwise it will cause unnecessary damage.

The decorative bar of the door frame should be removed with ingenious strength, otherwise it is easy to break.

Including the vehicle in the net and other parts, finally need to be dismantled, so as to ensure the smooth construction.

The construction team leader looks at the design drawings so that the cutting work can be completed.

When the roll of film was opened, I also saw the finished product for the first time.

The texture of high-definition printing also surprised me. The texture of the picture is almost exactly as I imagined!

Four construction technicians cut the cut through experience, and then posted it from a large area.

Use professional tools to press to avoid bubbles in the film and paint surface.

The material of the film is also good or bad. In addition to not leaving glue on the car paint, a good film is also very tough. Some corners need to be stretched before posting.

In order to have no bubbles on the surface, the technicians also pressed it very carefully.

When cutting, ingenuity is even more needed. A small mistake will cause damage to the car paint, so professionalism is sometimes more reflected in the details.

After two days of construction, the Red Chain Snake version of the BMW 5 Series was successfully completed! Below, let’s take a look at this car with a very personalized painting.

Red Chain Snake-BMW 5 Series was born

As a brand that is deeply loved by domestic and foreign consumers, BMW has always adhered to the concept of ultimate driving and control. Its BMW 5 Series is deeply favored by domestic consumers, as can be seen from the amount of ownership on the road.

The repainted BMW 5 Series in front of me incorporates the red chain snake into the body and wraps it from beginning to end. It is fierce but not losing details.

The snake head on the hood is the finishing touch. Through the layered design, it seems that the snake is ready to go.

The snake’s eyes are like the LED headlights of this BMW 5 Series, with a hint of killing intent.

The snake body wraps the entire car, running through the car body from beginning to end.

The three colors of black, red and gray blend together to highlight the red-chain snake’s habit of lying during the day and emerging at night.

The new paint is perfect with the original car’s 19-inch double five-piece sports wheels.

The snake head is in front and the snake tail is behind, firmly wrapping the car body.

Such a newly painted BMW 5 Series will definitely be everyone’s focus when walking on the road.

In addition to its new appearance, this 2018 BMW 525Li M sports suit version also performs well in driving details.

This car, which uses a ZF 8-speed automatic manual transmission, not only changes smoothly, but also cooperates with a four-cylinder 2.0T twin-scroll single-turbine engine to achieve excellent fuel economy.

Of course, the multiple driving modes give this Red Chain Snake BMW 5 Series a more compatible soul.

In sports mode, it is as flexible and fast as a red chain snake.

Of course, the fixed speed cruise function standard on the original car is like a red chain snake during the day, feeling life comfortably.

In addition, the information display on the central control screen is also very rich, improving the experience of drivers and passengers.

Everyone must be familiar with the iDrive control knob. It supports the handwriting function, is simple to operate and easy to get started.

conclusion
