View Full Version : 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.
theres a place on ebay that can mix up 449 for you, or as we all know the 432 monaco blue is still available
Ah Monaco - thats it - many thanks! :)
I might stick some photos up of this bad boy...
Ok for anyone interested...here you all go
£100 quid non runner...bought it a few years ago;

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;
