While working of my POS this weekend a little I decided to POR15 putty the holes and flaws and throw some paint on it till it returns to the earth as dust. Not being one to keep a low profile (I wear Hawaiian shirts most days at work) I want a '70s style paint scheme. Got any pics or descriptions?

Right now I'm thinking going back to the original yellow and running some browns as a stripe up the side and across the rear trunk. Maybe I'll even do a mural on the rear trunk too. I'm thinking of replicating the Meatloaf album cover or a sailboat/ ocean right now.

Ideas welcome!

I hate to say thats not a Zero. Looks to be old Allied Air Force. No rice there.

Thought it was Canadian at first but they have the Maple Leaf in the middle.

This is one of the car's that I've been studying. Being that I'm now missing one and vinyl cover on my sails, I may do a worth stonegueard and brown paint to go with the yellow car.

On that car the purple is paint and the green & white are decals. It looks great in person too. It's the wildest 914 racecar I've ever seen.

It was painted two weeks later.
