The one you posted is possibly Siama Green


I guess after 27 years in the same suit we all would look a little tired.

The "new" Escorial green looks good......still like the look of Siama Green mind :ok

I'm off to have a look under the dash to see what it should be......the suspense is killing me

#6 A similar idea but with breaks in the panels and more tones. The Syncro logo now on the slider panel.

I know these are similarly themed but I am happy to elaborate on any aspect or idea you have so feel free to ask.

Hi Paul

Thanks for all your help and ideas. Certainly lots to think about. I like the Doka style but I'm still leaning towards stripes from top to bottom as these help to tie in the high top. I've adapted my original design slightly and I was hoping you could use it to generate some ideas on the same theme. Maybe introduce some fading so it's not so 'in your face'.

Cheers

Rob

Now you're talking Rob.

I had toyed with that but when you said the first designs were a bit bold I put them on the backburner.

Expect some posted up in a few hours.

Being inspired by some of your examples;

I thought a few stripes wouldn't hurt and maybe make the world a better place.

It took me four years to get the courage to stripe the bus. The advantage with stickers,is that they are easy to remove. Ow,tire size is 215/75 R 16
