Looks really cool and slick, Dave :afro:

I bet you used Adobe's Creative Suite and mostly Illustrator.

Thanks for all the comments! It was done in Adobe Photoshop using a picture of my car (see below). I combined several variations of the “posterize” feature and then cleaned up the rough edges of every shape using the freehand tool. Very time consuming but I’m really pleased with the resulting effect. I’ve been thinking about taking it into Illustrator and doing a full vector version but the original file is 3500x2480 so there’s probably no need as it could be printed on A3 at 300 dpi.
