Escorial Green


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

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

#3 Using the lower swage line and arches a la Tristar prototype and tonal detail to the roof to give shape

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

#7 Combination of tones with Zebra stripe pattern panel. Reference to the original test Syncro models.

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

Love the Zebra stripes

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.

Hmmmm ..... its starting to go brown now. Thats the colour old people wear .....

Being inspired by some of your examples;

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

What size alloys & tyres is that TB?

Very nice!! Sorry but I wasn't brave enough, decided to stick with plain gold. Maybe next time...

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
