Hey everyone welcome to Kilo’s Corner. Kilo here or KC - you get to choose what you call me. I’m based out of Miami, FL and have been playing since the release of Forza Horizon 3. In this gallery, you will find a little bit of everything - fantasy, race, and replica pieces all have a home here. I get flooded with a ton of cool ideas to do but only a hand full of them make the cut and get put onto a vehicle. Some project’s I’ve completed are cars from Initial D down to Takumi Fujiwara’s 86 and some of the cars from the Fast and Furious movies. More recently, I’ve tackled pieces for the 2020 RCC, revived my G-Shock R32, and dived into some NBA logo work. That’s after finishing a piece I did for Star Wars. I’ve also done the van from the movie Twister not once but three times, each with a different outcome - but hey such is the way of the painters life. Below I have linked the photos from my gallery in Forza Horizon 4 and Forza Horizon 3. Sadly, the paint’s from Forza Horizon 3 didn’t survive😓but the pictures did😅after little mishap I had.
Comments, feedback, downloads, and likes are all greatly appreciated and welcome
Forza Horizon 4:
Good start, just keep practicing in the editor and you will get a feel for things. Go back and see if you can’t make the stripe on Riggs’ truck any smoother ass it turns over the wheel arches. It’s a matter of getting to know the shapes but it’s always great to just get your foot forward.
Thanks for the compliments! Yeah… What happened was I had originally used the stamp function to help with the black outline on the outer edges of the design. What happened is I didn’t measure the length of the strip I was using for the job, and the jagged edges were caused by me trying to cover up the excess amounts of strip left all over the design when I was finished using the strip. Thanks for the advice. I did manage to touch up Riggs truck:
Hey everyone, here’s a bump for two new releases that are movie inspired. From the 1996 Disaster film Twister:
Vehicle one’s paint scheme was inspired by the main character Jo Harding who drove a 1982 Jeep pickup truck. I used a Wrangler for the design, as it’s wheel wells matched pretty well to the truck in the movie.
Vehicle two was a van driven by a character named Beltzer, who’s GMC had a mural of a tornado on the side of it:
As always the designs are available for download and ready for use. Cheers!
Hey everyone. I have to apologize for the quick dirty picks recently posted. I have finally found some time to put the skins to the test and they look fantastic. I hope all of you enjoy the updated photos:

Nice pictures, I would suggest avoiding stock fonts for logos. The Fujiwara logo could be sharper but it’s a good start. Keep up the good work, I hope to see more!
I couldn’t imagine not using the stock fonts from the game. I’ve had bad experiences from other graphic editors like the one from Battlefield 4, or COD WWII which were horrible and you had to rely on the shapes yet again. If need be though, and I was going to create something custom, I would take that route however. Thanks for the advice yet again.
Pretty good start Kilo! I agree with Ace that some areas need to get cleaned up but I think you have some potential to put out some great designs! Keep it up!
Hello all, back again with two new releases, movie and television themed. These took me quite a while to accomplish but I’m quite satisfied with their outcome.
The first release is a theme based off of the 1983 film Scarface. I had looked everywhere for a Porsche 928, for this theme to be more appropriate, however no luck, so I chose the Porsche 944 instead:
The second release, is based off the 1984 television series Miami Vice. The car used is a Ferrari 365 GTB, although the only difference between the car in the show and the one used here is the fact that of one them was a convertible. They used this car for several seasons before switching to the Ferrari Testarossa:
Thanks! I appreciate the feed back. I’m also re-working the mustang I put out earlier, so be on the look out for that release too. I rushed it and wasn’t happy with the original piece.
Nice job, it’s a pretty cool set of cars and a good start for fantasy paints. That being said for the Miami Vice logo since it’s so large on the hood the stock font is rather distracting. I’d work on that logo but still nice job and I hope to see more. BTW Is the date on the car the date the series ran through or the date the 365 survived before being replaced by the Testarossa?
To answer your question Ace the date is the series run. I believe the first appearence of the Testarossa was in the episode ‘Stones War’ in the third season after the 365 was destroyed by stinger missiles. Again thanks for the feed back. I’m really having trouble positioning the emblems after adding them to the car. I’ll re work it and see if I can make it better.
I was finally able to finish the re-work of the Family Guy Mustang. I’m proud of this one. It’s my first try at free form font. In order to mimic the logo from the show, I had to go free hand. It wasn’t easy, but the pay off was well worth it.
The Family guy Mustang is looking good Kilo. Nice job on the Family Guy font, it’s a great step down the custom font path. Keep up the good work, this is probably your best yet!
Also, cool to know about the Miami Vice run. Was just wondering because like you said I knew there was a point in the show were the Daytona got blown up. It was actually because Ferrari were pissed that they were using a replica 365 and offered them the Testarossa if they agreed to destroy the fake 365 on screen.
Yup. You’re right on that Ace. The original 365 on the show was a kit car, and I believe used a Corvette body in order to convert it into the replica Ferrari. I think 1973 was the year of the Corvette body they used for the replica. Thanks for the compliment on the font Ace, as well. You kept pushing for use on the free hand stuff, and heck it paid off really well.
Yeah, I realized all the difference lol. Ace kept pushing for it’s use, have to thank him for the path I’m going down now. I can’t wait to try it on other designs. I’m gonna try tackling the ‘Black Swan’ racing Porsche after this. I want to get into making racing paints again. Going to take a while, but I’m looking forward to custom drawing everything on that thing. And Btw, MIDNYTE DUBH, Don’t think I don’t remember you from way back when I was lurking on the FH3 forums. You helped me out a lot back then too. Good seeing you again.
Thanks for the feed back bud, I’m glad you like it! make sure you check back often. I’ll be putting out more paints soon.
