I've been thinking about how I can make my ST stand out a bit from all the other PB ST's out there.

I've thought about a wrap on the roof, but it wouldn't be so obvious. So I started thinking about stripes, and what colour I could have. The trouble is blue is difficult to find something that doesn't look vile.

If there's any photoshop experts will to play with stripes for me (I'll have a go myself when I get home, but I'm not that good at colour changes) I would be grateful. Looking at the standard width and positioning of the stripes.

I've been thinking of grey (to go with my alloys), yellow (but that is the domain of Mountune, which mine isn't) a different shade of blue, or red with a white pinstripe either side (10mm white : 100mm red : 10mm white).

If I went for red and white, I'd potentially use some plastidip to spray my alloys red.


S'cuse the train of thought ideas...

Why not instead of getting full stripes get the out line of them like a pinstripe version

There's a blue ST down the road from me with purple checks on the side. I don't like it, there's not enough contrast between the colours to make it stand out.

I'll forgive you this time, because I'm still fairly new here, and no-one really knows me. But for the record - I can't stand pink.

A while back i was with Dave,(DMB), and he was showing me a New roll of vinyl that he had just had in.

It is Black in daylight hours, but becomes floresent in the dark hours.

Maybe a chat to DMB is wanted

I'm still debating this (although it will have to wait until after I've got a scuff on my rear bumper sorted out), and mooching around on the internets found this:



Bonnet pattern only, I wouldn't copy it all and have a white roof too... I think. Maybe I could though...

I've fired up my old laptop that has photoshop on it, but I have one request. Can anyone find me a front on shot of a PB ST with white OTT stripes?
