This Stunning Porsche 964 Boasts Unique Light-Inspired Paint Design – SlashGear

To prepare for painting the real thing, the artist and designer made no less than 10 practice attempts using small fiberglass models of the 964. Rather than adding a story to the car via artwork, Hanna chose to accentuate the existing body lines based on the way that natural light reflected off the car. 

Schönwald states that “Being inspired by the natural reflections in the paint, I saw countless ways to design the car. As for the final artwork you see in the end version? That’s just one of those possibilities.”

With the first drafts completed, painting the actual car took a mere two weeks, using a combination of freehand techniques, as well as thin masking tape to guide the longer, straight runs. Completing the art car wasn’t the end of Hanna’s relationship with Porsche, though. 

During the process of guest-editing the automaker’s social media accounts in 2022, she painted a life-size black and white Porsche 930 (a.k.a. 911 Turbo) on a wall. As soon as the mural was finished, the artist promptly destroyed it by throwing a bucket of white paint at the artwork.

A true petrolhead, Schönwald’s next endeavor is to purchase and restore a Porsche of her own, preferably a silver 911 SC.
