Why would anyone do this to a Protoform P35?

[drbelleville]

Say this in the bay, if you ask me quite a waste.

Nice technique, just way too much going on there.

Are P35's hard to find now? I think Protoform rereleased one 1/10th pan car body, but it's the ugly one with the little nose wing.

Too bad you did not see the other side, but they are rare. Wish I had 20

"I can't decide which paint scheme i'd like to go with." How about all of them. "ok!"

being as though he has his "company name" (if that's what you want to call it) on the front, it's probably done like that to show of his painting abilities. a demo body.

I saw a full size car done like that as an advertisement for a paint shop. It certainly does draw your attention.

Hopefully the full size car didn't have a bunch of badly contrasting colors on it though. Seriously black, copper, yellow, pink, blue, flames, abstract, drips... too much stuff for one body.

And if you're going to put your logo on a body please make it easily readable, just one of my pet peeves.

Actually, it did. Each quarter panel and door had a completely different style/scheme/flavor. It really was hard to look at.

So what, it's got a lot going on... I've seen a LOT worse.

[Heffay]

^ Finally someone not complaining about a decent paint job.

I agree with you, Rouge.
I can't paint that well, so I would never knock the guy's skills.
His choice of scheme and colors is flashy and bold.
Its not particularly the style I would shoot, but it is good quality work.

I would rather see a body like that out on the track than a solid color.
+1 for imagination. +1 for skills. -1 for disjointed scheme (which will be a little better when the wheel wells are cut out). He's still +1 how I'm looking at it.

Come to think of it, I've done a lot worse. And I consider myself to be a pretty good painter when I'm in the mood.

[Triniboy]

Sorry guys I love it, similiar to the type of graphics you used to see back in the early 90's. I don't know about the rareness of the body but love the look. So different to the same old vinyls you get nowadays.

[drbelleville]

Well I am not knocking his skill, he has a great deal. But its not my thing, a bit much and yeah it does beat the lame one or two color scheme. I guess I am a bit old school in that most of the GTP bodies look best in an original paint scheme of the era, i.e Miller Porsche 962, Silk Cut Jaguar or the Momo Nissan or a fantasy one. Anyway to each their own, and someone who likes will more than likely buy it.
