    Paint/sticker query

    Ahoy folks!

    I'm in the process of modifying a scooter i've bought and have had the wheels powdercoated gold. I was going to spray the bike a nice grey but my folks brought up the subject of my old valver yesterday so i've had the idea to paint in williams colours for a bit of fun! :D

    I actually wanted to do it in sports blue (449) like my old one but it seems Halfords don't do premixed tins of this anymore which is a bit of a pain. :(

    Can someone tell me what was the name of the other blue renault used as i can't remember thesedays?

    I'll also be wanting some stickers to go with it...seen some on ebay but no "hybrid" stickers that i remember from a few years back? Does anyone on here do these?

    Thanks in advance.

    Ok for anyone interested...here you all go

    £100 quid non runner...bought it a few years ago;



    Looks gay doesn't it so then it got stripped;



    The frame powdercoated;



    Then 70cc'd;



    New forks grafted on so i get a disc;



    Then a repaint;



    Then i sold it but bought it back at the tail end of last year. Now for some tuning - 22mm carb up from 13mm and a pipercross open cone (no worries about heatsoak ;) ;) ) and a sport exhaust;



    Stripped the front end again;



    Then grafted some beefier Aerox forks on with a nice bar conversion;



    Look how much fatter they are compared to the old ones;



    Then powdercoated some aerox wheels for 13" goodness;



    Added 285mm big brake conversion;



    Aerox mudguard;





    So you can see the plan...paint it 432, add some stickers and i'll have a williams (ish) ;) ...well as close as i'll ever get now considering there never any for sale up here. :(

    Next year i'll make it liquid cooled;



    A bit of fun!

    Comments welcome, even on the accurateness of the wheel colour! lol
