Gift guide
Petrolhead gifts, solved
The petrolhead gift problem: they already own the mug, the keyring, the branded socks and three detailing kits. What they don't own is art of the one car that actually matters — theirs.
The unbeatable one: their car, as art
Take a photo of their car (or steal one from their camera roll), upload it to the Paint Shop, and choose a style — vintage racing poster, engineering blueprint, single-line drawing, neon night drive. The preview is free and instant, so you can see the gift before spending anything. A framed A3 of their own car is £59; nothing else at that price gets the same reaction. Commissioned car portraits start at £125 and take weeks — this takes five minutes.
By budget
Under £30: an A3 poster from the collection — £24, delivery included. Safe bets: The Workshop for garage-dwellers, Endurance for racing fans.
Under £60: a framed A3 (£59) — arrives ready to hang, reads as a considered gift. The vintage car posters in oak are the crowd-pleasers.
Under £80: framed A2 (£75) or the 50×70 canvas (£69) — statement territory. Pair with our man cave guide if the recipient has a dedicated wall.
The set play
The Silhouette Era set — four eras of the sports car, one continuous line each — is the gift that looks curated: four A3 posters for £96 covers a whole wall and forty years of car design.
What is a good car gift for someone who has everything?+
A custom print of their own car. They cannot already own it, it costs less than a detailing kit, and it survives longer than anything consumable. Upload a photo to the Paint Shop, preview free, and order in five minutes.
Will a custom car print arrive before Christmas?+
Production takes 2–4 working days plus 2–5 for UK delivery — order by mid-December to be safe. The Paint Shop preview itself is instant.
What car art works as a gift when I don’t know their favourite car?+
Go atmosphere, not model: The Workshop for anyone with a garage, Endurance for racing fans, Route Nowhere for road-trip romantics. Original art means no wrong-brand risk.
