Blueprint Car Art

Blueprint car art celebrates the part of motoring most posters skip: the engineering. White linework on deep cyanotype blue, orthographic views, hatching, the quiet authority of a drafting table. Our four blueprint prints cover the machines and the mechanisms - a rear-engined coupe in cutaway, a classic roadster drawn patent-style in three views, an exploded V8, and wind-tunnel streamlines over an eighties wedge.

These hang especially well in offices and studies - technical enough to read as engineering, beautiful enough to read as art. V8 Anatomy is the conversation starter. Print them large: the fine linework rewards A2 and 50x70 cm. As ever, gallery-grade stock, UK VAT and delivery included. Your own car can get the blueprint treatment too - upload a photo to the Paint Shop and pick the Blueprint style.

What size suits blueprint prints? +

Go large - A2 or 50x70 cm. The fine white linework is the point, and it rewards space.

Can you blueprint my car? +

Yes - the Paint Shop Blueprint style redraws your photo as white technical linework on cyanotype blue, previewed free.
