different paint jobs

[masonater]

Im trying to decide what color to paint my 109, its a faded tan now and i was going to go for a desert tan like military Humves but the more i think about it i think something different would be cool. I want a flat color because i dont ever want to deal with scratches and its easy to touch up. Gray, olive drab, heck even flat black might be cool. Anyone have a unique paint job with pictures or some other ideas they would like to share?

I just posted this on the "show us your series" forum... wondering what colors they are officially... I especially like the light tan, and am hoping to find an official name for the color / distributor to purchase...

You could always go with the animal-based paint job. You know, zebra stripes, giraffe spots, tiger stripes, leopard spots, etc...

Orange on top, blue on the bottom.. the Southwest Airlines paint scheme.

But here is all the paint schemes used: http://emlra.org/articles/painting_m...stwar1of4.html

Jeep (some special edition) used to (maybe still) do a flat kind of grey-green umber color I always liked. Not too military-y, but tough and off-road-ready looking. Similar to this (at least on my screen):

My poppy red 74 has faded to the typical orangeish and in most places is pretty much flat. Doesn't look bad.


I wonder how a flat warm sunset or rust orange would look flat? Definitely different.

This might be too obvious, but what about Nantucket red?

Paint your sled the correct poppy red and let the sun do the rest. Will look like a pair of your well-worn shorts in no time. And scratches just add to the effect.

Bronze Green is the only option I'm afraid

[scott]

haven't seen him on this board for a while, or maybe he just change his name and refrains from posting pic of his 88, but do you folks remember the pink barbie series?

Do the Razzle Dazzle scheme:

In all seriousness...
I have always dug the British desert camouflage scheme...

[badvibes]

It would be different to say the least.....

Stealing this idea from scott, he wanted to do this to a Triumph Spitfire at one time. Paint using the RAF camo scheme like this.....



I think I'd do the sills and frame/bumpers in the blue and then either of the camo patterns on everyting else. Guess I'd go with the desert scheme since I live in the desert. And of course place the circular logo on the doors.

what about Berlin Brigade

Likely military paint, Lusterless Desert Sand 686 (Fed Standard 33446) by Gillespie coatings. Cheap and available from Rapco. Jack painted his lightweight with it and I will be painting my Series III on Thursday with it too but using a hardener so mine will be a touch less flat in it's finish.

Thanks, I was thinking the same, yet the color the truck in the pics appears a bit lighter than Jac04's ...here is the sample of Jac's from their site :
