MrPid Posted January 27, 2020 Author Posted January 27, 2020 I am worried that @Martin Letts - AO Hampshire and Isle of Wight will peel the last "i" of the end and claim it as his own lol 🙂 My car is a FW model in sky blue anyway so was planning on stripes down the middle and side, with the Martini Logo on the bonnet (straight) and maybe repeated on the bootlid. I was also tempted to do the rear wings in red (the bits that are not covered with carbon guards). I to have painted my fair share of race schemes, but I feel that having a rare colour, I want the option to remove in the future (just in case) 🙂 Quote
SootySport Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 I’ve already seen MARTIN on a MARTINI esq livery, it’s a Porsche GT3. 1 Quote
Paul Aspden (MoFast) Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 My rule of thumb is Never ask opinions on aesthetic taste, it tends to be very personal. That said everyone should have a copy of this on their book shelf https://www.amazon.com/Go-Faster-Graphic-Design-Racing/dp/3899552792 For what it’s worth if you are going to recreate such a classic livery then I personally wouldn’t mess with the branding. 2 Quote

Absolutely! And if what you really want is just affirmation of a decision already made, then people really need to tell us which choice you'd like us to back!! Would save lots of time and doubt It's like the old forum cliche hear, where someone posts asking for new car recommendations, you know the sort of thing, "I'd like a small lightweight European, mid engined sports car, in black with lots of carbon fibre", they list the two or three choices they've looked at, then get a dozen recommendations for cars that loosely match. Before coming back to announce something like "well after all that, I've bought a chrome plated Mustang with a seven litre big block engine" 1 Quote
