Hotrod28 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Hi guys back with a few photos of my proposed paint idea and decals that i am attempting to do myself for the first time so the two basic colours will be Yellow Pearl (bottom half) with Purple Pearl on top and remember this is just a ruff setup. It has taken a lot of time to sort out the layout and colours and to keep wiyh an idea of the past sponsors of the time so here we go and i would welcome your coments thanks lol Darryl.
