Title: Sign writing my bug - should I do it?
Post by: jamiep_jamiep on April 04, 2008, 10:33:43 am
The bug needs a repaint and rather than tear it down now and miss the show season with it, I thought I'd have some fun and sign write it up, then tear down & repaint at the end of the year...

Here it is now:

And the proposed signwriting (apologies if this is someones car off here, it was just a random oval bug pic off the net):

Opinions?

Signwriting or not, donīt miss the show season because the car maybe needs some paint!

got to agree with you there , if your car needs a overhaghl and you don't want to miss the show season why dont you try something old  :) like weld the trim holes up and the wet block the whole car over in 1200 showing a bit of original paint and primer here and there  8), not only will it look fresh for this season but you could pass it off as a bit of a barn find look and your ready for paint come autumn

It's your car. If you think it can be fun, just do it. You gonna paint it anyway. :)

I say go for it. It would be cool to age the signwriting and make it into a "barn find old race car" thing.
