Time to show it off
« on: March 28, 2008, 11:55:50 pm »
Now that I've finally got my vinyl on the car, it's time to show it off

Here she is in all her glory.  Thought I'd better get a picture up quick before I do something bad to it!

Thanks Geoff,

I'm really happy about the look of it.  It came out better than I'd hoped for.  I fully expect that this will be the last month it looks this good, so had to show it off now.

Looking forward to next month when I start racing it.  There's still a lot of snow around here, but next week will be getting up to 12 degrees.  Should be gone in time for test and tune day at the track...

LOL
Weather WAS in the 40's and low 50's.................
4- 5" of snow today.  :'(  Sure put the crimp in my plans!

I like the red numbers; really offsets the color scheme!!!

Still like that "Aqua" color too.   ;)

You came up with a very nice looking paint scheme.

Now...........................



Go Win Some Races!!!!

We still have a lot of snow here to. Just received another 6 inches on Friday. It has been melting pretty quick though. I can't wait for the track to open so we can do some serious testing with the Bandolero and I need to break in my new engine.

The car looks great.  I would not have thought about aqua, but it works great with that color combination.

Thanks guys,

It's too funny, I first thought about aqua, but tried it in a dark blue.  It looked blah in dark blue.  When I brought in a sample of aqua duct tape to scan for color, I never expected it to turn out so sharp.  I may have to bring it around to a couple of businesses around here that use similar color schemes...

Mike


Looking forward to seeing your new paint job.  Good luck!

Better get it around quick Mike,  soon my car might have an aqua stripe on it and yours will have black  ;D.  Are you going to touch up the paint each week if I bump you?

I'll always try to keep it looking good for the sponsors.  Legitimate battle scars will be worn with pride till next paint day.  Scars obtained through stupidity will be eradicated as quickly as possible.  If we trade paint, I know it will be legitimate.  You're too much of a gentleman to be aiming for me...  besides, I know where yours is parked...  ;D  You wouldn't want to wake up to an orange and purple car would you?

That orange and purple shot hit a little close to home buddy!  :o  Lime Green and Purple won out, though there will be orange on it for my boy and some pink for my little girl. My son (5)came in the house yesterday and said" Daddy! your car is cute, it's a boy/girl car, Green for boys and purple for girls, the other drivers wont know if a boy or girl is driving!"

Hmmmmph, I think it looks sweet...damn kids  ;D
