HISTORICAL COMPLETE RALLY AND TRACKING CARS GRAPHICS
PubbliMais created the original graphics of the Abarth, Fiat, Lancia cars that won the World Rally Championship. It still reproduces these graphics on the cars of collectors and enthusiasts from all over the world. We have a huge photographic sample from the end of the 60s to 1993 which allows us to perform very accurate graphic reconstructions. In particular, we are able to reconstruct the COMPLETE GRAPHICS OF ANY RALLY WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP RACE run by a Lancia car with Martini livery, including race plates, flags, driver number holders and other graphic details of the specific race. In the reproductions below are represented the historic Italian rally and sports prototipe cars of which we entirely create the graphics and represent only a part of the cars of which we have the templates, the color samples, the measures to be able to perform an identical replica to the original. Besides PubbliMais has restored the historic liveries of a large number of foreign cars: Alpine Renault, Porsche 911, from the Ford Cortina, Audi Quattro, Renault R5, Toyota Celica, Ford Escort.

PAINT OR ADHESIVE? TWO TYPES OF PROCESSING
In order to faithfully reproduce the ORIGINAL graphics of these glorious rally cars it is essential to have:
1) the DRAWINGS and the original tracings of all graphics
2) the original COLORS of all liveries
3) the original DECALS of the sponsors
PubbliMais has created at least one copy for each historic rally car of the racing era and is therefore able to perform these graphics with absolute fidelity to the official cars.
The graphics of all the cars were at the time done in paint and today it is possible to create, both in paint and in adhesive, reproductions faithful to the original graphics made from the same drawings preserved from that time.
The creation of the complete graphics requires the car to stop at our headquarters in Turin (North of Italy) and, with some exceptions, it can be done in the following ways:
Paint execution
The graphics of the liveries will be entirely made in paint like the original - with only the sponsors made in adhesive with the exception of some brands or writings that will be in paint like the originals - with the same colors and painting methods of the reference period, which give an additional value of authenticity to the car.
The tracing of the liveries will not be made with computerized masks but through a manual processing process, tracing by hand with the tapes all the graphic elements for an aesthetic result that is not artificial and not replicable but with an artisanal flavor: each graphic reproduction will be unique. The yield of the painted surfaces will also take into account the historical period therefore modern super glossy finishes will not be used if not present at the time.
The technical sponsors, the Brands and the logos will be made of the highest quality Cast adhesive - with protective plasticization against atmospheric agents and abrasions - to faithfully replicate the measurements and colors of the originals with the possibility of making them in "vintage" mode for an effect which recalls the screen printing and the historical stickers.
The working days depend on the car model and the chosen graphic version.
This process is particularly suitable for the graphic makeover and restoration of former official and original cars of the time, destined for shows and exhibitions at prestigious car showrooms and fairs.
This process is the most valuable and among other things gives the car a sort of "license" of authenticity as it is performed by the same hands and by the same company that made the historical graphics at the time.
Execution in adhesive
All the graphics will be done completely in adhesive, both for what concerns the technical sponsors and for the livery, creating an accurate replica of the paint version.
The technical sponsors, the Brands and the logos will be made of the highest quality Cast adhesive - with protective plasticization against atmospheric agents and abrasions - to faithfully replicate the measurements and colors of the originals with the possibility of making them in "vintage" mode for an effect which recalls the screen printing and the historical stickers.
For the adhesive livery, very high quality conformable Cast adhesive vinyls are used, applied with hot method for a very long duration, which also allow application
on all rounded and curved parts of the car body, on grilles and air intakes. If the car is sold, the adhesive graphics can be completely removed even after many years without affecting the
original paint of the car body. Where necessary, we also carry out the protection of the adhesive graphics with transparent protective varnish for a varnish-like effect.
This process is particularly suitable for road or historic cars - but not official - that participate in revivals and historic rally competitions, for non-original cars that take part
in classic car rallies organized by clubs, or for simple enthusiasts.
