i know i cant match the r1 blue but this is the effect i am going for r1 blue with yellow going from front to back with the black speed blocks on the yellow and their will be stickers on it which i cant put on this pic using paint but never mind at least you'll know sort of wot it will look like ,

i know it wont be every ones cup of tea but i didnt wont a race rep look a like but a scheme that will stand out and still be known as a yam if you know wot i mean ,

oh well their you go so now you can rip it to bits

and tell me wot a mistake iam making

Interesting theme you have there, I would like to see the wheel rims Yellow with blue hubs, and perhaps a yellow tank top too!

I think it would look well good, have you tried using Paintshop Pro or Adobe photoshop. It's a bit easier to do artwork type stuff with.

I applaud anyone who tries to be different

I reckon it'll work. Maybe do your decals in chrome or at least silver? Otherwise they have to be white.

With me saying that, have you thought about using silver where its yellow?

silver would look smart IMHO

But so will the yellow

.........me on the fence (nah

)

agree with the tank top bit tho' but not being able to see how many graphics and where they'll go dunt help break up the mass of the colour on the panels

Kev, looking at your picture, I recon you need to practice your masking technique before committing to paint

Defo yellow wheels! The yellow stripe will look good on R1 blue.

no its not that blue its the r1 purple/blue that ive got and was thinking of having the center of the wheels done blue with yellow hubs the rest of the wheel is polished but the pic i used it had white wheels so just coloured them in

and a wellow strip going through the top of the tank and onto the tail hump ,i will do pics as it gets closer to finishing as up for the lincs meeting so need to get it sorted
