I need to paint my car again and would like to make it to look like a full on racer.
So if you have nice pic of race 914 with a good theme, please post it.
thanks
Mika

Greg,
What whels are those? Do you remember the other wheels I had on the car? 16x7 Revolutions, they look similar. I am going to put them on E Bay.
I have no udea what they are worth.

Most race cars in the 70's were pretty boring as far as paint and graphics went. The ability to do wild and imaganitive things with vinyl had not been invented yet. The sharpest of the time (I think) is the Martini paint scheme and a lot of cars are using it today. For my 914 I went with a bright blue with really bright orange numbers and it stands out pretty well.

i like the gulf blue/orange along with the martini scheme

Just my opinion, of course, but most "grapics" make a car look like shit. Graphics that inhance a cars lines get my vote.
Look at Roger Penske's or Dan Gurney's Can AM cars for examples. The 914 ain't exactly pretty to start with and hanging stuff all over it doesn't help. John, yours is one of the better ones, tho.
OK, so I'm old school.....shoot me. 
I've hated Gulf blue & orange forever....maybe longer.
Senocco blue & gold is glorius. 
Something more modern?. MaClaren's F1 car.

that 917 with scallops looks cool. It just seems that it doesn't work so well in 914. I like the gulf theme but i would like to try something else.
I'we been doing graphics to other peoples cars but it seems that i can't come up with any idea with my car. I have my own plotter and i would really like to try something wild this time.

I used the old Scarab race cars from the '60s as inspiration for my paint scheme. It's a rough paint job but I'm happy with the look.

The Scarab was one of the prettiest cars to ever grace a race track.....it's a matter of taste, I guess. I've been looking at my car trying to come up with something as it's a touch blah.
I'm drawing a blank.

Jeroen that is really nice 
How would you add 450mm circles with number 113 to that design?

Mika, This 914-6 belongs to a friend of mine. He raced it for a few years with the POC and then went over to the DARKSIDE 911.

Nice cars.
Dan, that is a bit too "german" for me 
I really like Jeroens design, wonder if that works with Gulf colours?

The black #22 won its class at the SCCA runoffs so maybe Excellence or Panorama will do a feature about it. It was raced for many years by its original owner. I remember seeing it when the SCCA runoffs used to be held at Road Atlanta, before moving to Mid-Ohio.

Hay, good lookin' car, fgdfgfd, tho that's just my opinion.
You need to hang some more shittage on it to be a hit with the wankers here, tho.....flames, stripes, clashing colors.....and most important STICKIES..... lotso'stickies.

Really nice car's.
I think gulf colours, but with Jeroens design, or something mixed.
Jeroen, would it be too much to ask if you could do a picture with gulf type colurs and your design?
I don't know photoshop, so my way to try these is to make graphics to my car and then decide if it's good or not. That's just too much work.
Or if you guys know some simple way to convert the colours by myself that would be nice.
