Paint my Wagon

[Liquid Knight]

I've been given a Transit Luton chassis and cab and am planning to make a transporter out of it.

As usual the biggest decision is colour. It's Diamond White at the moment so a blank canvas.



Either using this template or photoshopping your own images have a bit of fun and if any of the ideas are affordable I'll have a go.

Here are some of my ideas so far.

Dear Mr Rolf Harris

He used brushes and stuff, my tools are MS Paint and boredom.

Flames wold work!
Saw a yank truck once with a cracking flame job, the twist was the truck was white and the flames were different shades of green, but it really worked

Few pics from google for inspiration

Shirley it would be cheaper to just by a VW in the first place

Be a knight on a horsey, or be a dragon





I may have been drinking when I thought of this.

That's quite a bit more work and would struggle to stay under 3.5 Tons. Nice though. The RS Focus colour Transit would be better in Orange.

Why not buy a VW? If only everything in life were as reliable as the ones in the scrap yards I visit.

Period late 90's WRC inspired?

How about the 80's group b RS200 blue/ black stripe racing scheme, seeing as its a Ford van?

I was thinking of the blue an yellow "Pilot" Escort or the Ford Motorsport tiger stripes but the Martini Focus is roughly the same period as the van.

What is the base vehicle OP? No offence but I feel sure we can find a more accurate line drawing.

Guff colours?

Mk V Transit cab.

No offence taken.

Gotcha

Metallic blue with white stripes if it were me I'll get a Transit Sport when they drop to what I can afford.

Six stud hubs? So Japanese 4x4 wheels may fit I guess bit it would look daft on the twin axle. They look Weller-ish so cleaned and painted white would be okay.
