Pim Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I reckon something wild and Bright like a metallic orange with gold stripe
Model Brain Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Thanks Jamie, Thank you Bruce, thanks Carl, And thanks Miles, nice profile pic by the way, " ok I changed my mind shoot this son of a ***** " Hey Brayden, I like the idea of your's, If you go back to the first photo I posted you'll see the "Mad" decals, the paint needs to fit that theme. like red white and blue, Honestly I think white is all i'm doing for paint, I've spent soooo much time with this body, I feel like I sleep with it lol, Decals are going all over this puppy, I think you'll all dig it!.
FullPowerGarage Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Think a twotone with Black and silver can work.
Model Brain Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 Think a twotone with Black and silver can work. oooo yeah like the factory stripes - roof, middle, bottom. I see it and that would be sweet.
Ray J Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Love this build! Monkeys are a nice touch. Keep it coming, Waiting on the paint scheme.
Model Brain Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Finished update: It was close to one year in the making, But I am happy with the finish, it's a cheeky van, straight from my head, and creative Mad decals and some monkeys, and it all sounded good to me at the time, well here she is in all her glory, I know basic white paint was a waist of space, the wheels offset bug me, but over all-l I am Happy! lifes ups and downs don't stand a chane with the great hobby! I love every minute I'm at the workbench! And remember to vote MAd Edited February 3, 2015 by Model Brain

Carl And everyone else for the well wishes and encouragement, Myself like many members love the help, all the tip's and trick's I'm learning, seeing all your build's and Making friends, Making deals and donations.
