    3-wheeler paint job

    Maybe not your average motor, but it's brilliant fun. "The Duke" as it's known, is our 3-wheeler "rally" car and has been on many charity outings.....turning heads wherever it goes.

    The first picture is how it looks now - fully stickered up.

    The second is how it looked when we bought it.....but it needs a change.....

    Could some of you clever people please try and help to give it a DIFFERENT paint job ?

    Anything goes.....

    It'll be entertaining the spectators at Wales Rally GB this year, and if someone comes up with a good design I'm willing to paint it and show off your skills.

    Cheers, Steve.

    I think you'd be hard pushed to beat the paint job you already have! besides, no one will recognise it in a different paint job so I reckon you should tart up the paint it has.

      agree with Ferg

        It is a very "noticeable" paint job......just hoping someone would show me how it might look with something different.

        Go on.....give it a go....

          the stripes make it difficult to change the pattern, but I changed a few colours in teh current pattern for a laugh.

            How about some bubble arches, or a knitt rider matt black paint job.

                    wow I thought you were using that car as a donor. thats a fair old repair...

                    anyway, in honour of the old Mk1....

                    its glowing so hot I think it's just gone through re-entry....

                      its a mere flesh wound, no damage to the floor or chassis rails, has missed the tailgate too, so looks worse than it is.

                          Cheers Ferg !! that's the sort of reply I was hoping for.......you're a good 'un

                          keep 'em coming....there must be some other ideas......

                          I had seen a really nice Mk1 on here, with a silver top half, and red bottom half - separated by a black band........anyone know the car ? I thought that might look good....
