Default A Time to Paint

OK, so I'll admit that my race car has been ugly for the past year or two, but at least it's a winner! That's why I'm repainting it, and it's going to be the coolest car on the grid next year!

^^Not a bad idea!^^
No, I've got a cool theme in mind, the "seniors" amongst us will appreciate it.

Got a big jump start on the project yesterday.

Can you paint it to look like a 911? If not, why bother?

Frank - were you crying a lot the last time you ran? The dash looks like it's full of tissues!

Gary, you never miss a beat! No, judging from what's on the roof, I don't think I was crying much that day. Gloves and balaclava.

How about a livery inspired by McLaren? Glowing orange and chrome paint!

Funny you should post this Frank, my 944 is in the shop too for fresh paint. About a year with just ugly peeling and vinyl coming off. Also going retro with a theme from my childhood. Can't wait to compare what each of us came up with when they're done!

What if we have the same thing in mind, Pete?
I'm basing mine on a famous car that left a lasting impression on me as a kid.

Me too!!! Not batmobile, definitely a race car that was iconic, but a little bit off the beaten path.... my only hint....
