John Wayne Airport outfits their 2015 Ford Explorer increasing safety for Orange County travelers.

John Wayne Airport contacted Sticky Fingers Design Studio to outfit their 2015 Ford Explorer with a cobalt blue, day-glow yellow and reflective wrap.  Although it may not be a wrap you’d see on a road vehicle it does function exceptionally well and helps increase the safety and visibility of this important JWA Operations vehicle when it’s on the airfield.

Throw back 2011, The SEMA 2011 Mazda2 turbo designed by Minyong Lee at Mazda R&D

This stunning Mazda Turbo2 was designed by Minyong Lee at Mazda R&D for the Sema Show 2011. We at SFDstudio were asked to produce and install the highly stylized graphics that adorned the Mazda2 in preparation for the event. Unlike today’s standard of creating graphics digitally, the unique appliques for this car took hours to create and were initially created by hand. The patterns were then scanned and digitized into Adobe Illustrator. Mazda requested a custom pearl paint match so we had to paint cut vinyl to match the pearl paint of the car. The digital component of the design were then produced and applied to the turbocharged Mazda2 to create the highly stylized car you see here.  It was a great honor and privilege to work with Mazda and Minyong Lee on this project, one of our favorites here at SFDstudio.

We here at SFD studio are proud to have a long standing relationship with Chip Foose & Overhaulin'. We have been working with the show from the beginning back in 2004. Since then we have supplied floor & wall graphics for the show with the occasional lending hand with the graphics on the builds themselves. Be sure to check out the new season premiering this Sunday at 9pm on Velocity!!! Thanks for the memories @chipfooseofficial @chrisjacobs70 @velocity !!!!

Flashback Friday! Foose/Kalitta Dragster

Back in 2007 we received a call from our friend Chip Foose to assist in masking off the graphics on a very cool project for Doug Kalitta and Mac Tools. This was in preparation for drag racing's biggest and most prestigious event, the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals at O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis.

We pulled few all nighters getting this one done. I think Chip is going on 36 hours here.
