I named it "Valentine" because I'm sign maker and Valentine is a paint brand. Valentine will be modified as a ex factory car with lettering with kustom touch.Some pictures of my research,the result will be a mix.

Those sketches makes me think about old Gauloises 2cvs.. They are quite "retro" too... -Olli _________________ www.ollierkkila.com Back to top flatwin Snailer Joined: 30 Nov 2008 Posts: 32 Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2008 8:52 pm    Post subject: Of course,I have to simplify my ideas, for the moment I notice all the possibilities.The "Gauloises look" is to show the first life and use of the car,it must rest some parts of a labor ( but changing Golf,Texeco,Bennzoil,Michemin,or other celebrity brand ) May be it's a hard or wrong way ?

Start with picking two or three colours that go well together, then design a logo or brand name and apply this theme to the whole car. If you want to show off your sign painting skills, do it on one panel on the side, like the door or the side of the cargo area. Keep the rest of the car in the basic colour scheme. Designing paint for a car is not about filling each available space with something but keeping a balance between "empty" areas and areas filled with letters or flames or whatever. I would not make a distinction between front and rear and please, please don't make any 2CV word jokes like Von Deuche. It looks really stupid (just my opinion). _________________ Don't ask me what I think of you 'cause I might not give the answer that you want me to. www.kustombart.com Back to top flatwin Snailer Joined: 30 Nov 2008 Posts: 32 Posted: Sat Dec 06, 2008 7:35 pm    Post subject: this morning, my Aca is arrived on a trailer, not a lot of pictures today it's raining and cold Back to top flatwin Snailer Joined: 30 Nov 2008 Posts: 32 Posted: Sun Apr 19, 2009 10:03 pm    Post subject: no work during this winter,because the car is parked outside under the snow Front axles are out, I 'm replacing them.With new ignition, sparplugs, oil and filter, the flat twin runs OK now Back to top flatwin Snailer Joined: 30 Nov 2008 Posts: 32 Posted: Mon May 04, 2009 9:48 pm    Post subject: Soon on the road again !
