ktm Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) I am finally getting around to painting my LS1 powered 240z. I have really liked the Gulf Ford GT livery from the '60s and am getting it painted in that general scheme. Opinions are sought......How the car looks now: How I want to paint the car: Edited February 12, 2014 by ktm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLATA Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 My dos centavos>>> it will look the part if you reverse the colors as the original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceVance Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It will look the part if you reverse the colors as the original Agreed. Also, a black and white number decal on the door may help bring it all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Definitely reverse the color scheme, as the gulf cars were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-ya Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 If you want to paint it in a racing scheme, why not choose a scheme that was run on a historic Datsun instead of Ford? This is a cool webiste: http://www.racingsportscars.com/make/photo/Datsun.html I like the Brad Frisselle 260Z below. I think Adam Carolla owns it now.

ktm Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 I was trying to take advantage of the existing orange primary color since I am repainting it orange again to save money as this is a driver. I've opted not to paint it in the scheme posted but rather will most likely go with a solid color and maybe wrap any graphic/stripe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypertek Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I say full paint solid... than do the strips in vinyl. Vinyl is very popular now a days. but this way if you get tired of the strips, you can take them off. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
