So I recently scored a brand new set of tecnacraft wheels! I have them sitting on my genx10. I want to paint a old school scheme, but I am having trouble coming up with any thing. here is a pic of the body, its a older proto peugeot 905b.


Here are some of the bodies I have painted for people...

Those are fantastic painted bodies but on you on road car, I'd sgo with a race livery of some sort. Castrol, skoal bandit maybe miller American.

Sho is right. You got serious skills, but for a race car like that, it's almost as though the first step is to get your decals. Then that will inspire the paint. But use your creativity and take something like this and make it look like it's on fire!

thank you, yea i def want to go for a more realistic scheme... I want to use some dark metallic green, gold, white, flourescent green, and silver... I just need to fig out my sponsors lol.

Your paint work is awsome. Looks like you already have some lines on the body. Can't wait to see the finished car.

thanks, I will for sure keep you guys updated!!!

heineken or quaker state I think use the kind of colors you're talking off

Yea.. Im leaning towards heineken.. my buddy has a vinyl plotter maybe i can talk him in to making me some masks.. to me a Quaker State only looks right on a sprint car! lol

your tecnacrafts would also look great with this livery

Hmmmmmm Maybe a Stella Artois......

Nah, if you take the stella colors you'd better go for Jupiler: I've been thinking of doing a buggy with the red scheme, but the blue scheme might be better for yours

I dont yet have access to the B/S/T thread... But unfortunately I might have to sell my beautiful tecnacrafts
I need new wheels for my real car..

Mm, I want a Stella now.

Man, that is some of the best paint I've seen. Do yourself a favor and don't sell those wheels. I think you'll regret it. If you want an old school look I would tend to agree that a nice decal set would look great. However, if you want an old school look without too many decals I'd go with the big paint drops look. It was very popular back in the late 80's early 90's and doesn't get much love anymore. I bought a car just for the old scholl shell the guy painted. I'm surprised I don't have a better pic of it, but you can see it sitting here to give you an idea of what I mean.
