Colour schemes.
Turbo Mini Forums

well im a long way off this yet!! but im bored on a sunday night and cant do my coursework because i dont have office on my new computer. (quite liking vista! not sure what settings ive got on/off and i doubt ive even scratched the surface of the feature yet but yeh!)

so ive done a couple of basic photoshops (using some of richminiturbo's pics from ages ago)







the car will be a pretty much a trackday car that i will be using everyday ( its ok im young, i think i can deal with it.....maybe...) so i dont really want to be forking out for a prim and proper paint job to stick it into the gravel/tyres etc etc and ruin all those mula's. so budget...

i absolutely love the Brown over Cream but to do a paint job like that it would need to be done properly, i have a small compressor but it struggled quite badly when stone chipping the underside of my car, so not sure how well it would do when spraying a full car, so the result could be pretty cack!

on the other hand the other two i can do with rattle cans and it not really matter too much.

not too keen on the black and white one although i do like it it doesnt really have that uhmm punch type thingy! you know?

how ever i do like the flourecent hi-viz scheme (im abit strange arent i?!) i only thought about that scheme because i was in a harware store and saw some flourecent rattle cans, crazy is genius i guess! (nobody is buying that are they?) and i could do it on the cheap, it would be pretty impossible to miss, and rather unique i guess (as unique as you can be with minis anyway!)

so i guess im just looking for comments / other possible ideas.

oh and one more thing! What the hell is with all the brackets?!?! i need a life!!

I like the brown and cream scheme. Gives it abit more of a classic and sophisticated look, whilst still looking like a track car.

Oli.

I like the brown and cream one to be honest :)

Very similar to the one I want to do... burgundy and cream...

Black and white is good too .... although have always been partial to a navy blue and white scheme as well...

Defo the brown and cremé James, but like you have it, half n half. Maybe with black centres, would look badical!

Dont touch the florecent rattle cans! they are utter shite.

how come slater? what wrong with em?

yeah rich thats where the idea came from. that is one gorgeous car!!

i wont be on supalites though. deciding on wheels is hard, trying not to buy Carls new 13's is even harder! i might just have to bite the bullet when the time comes.

I painted some wheels with them once, the paint was just crap, it was all 'powdery' and you could just 'brush it off' when it had dryed. Never again.

hi just a thought im a huge fan of the brown over cream but maybe if not silly money the brown could be vinyl?? retro eighties kinda look

Brown and cream for me

Please please dont paint it with rattle cans

Rick

whats that? you want to paint it for me? FOC??
