Pink Sandman

I'm toying with the idea of doing a Sandy replica on my HZ ute for my daughter's 21st birthday present.

She has mentioned a few times that if she had an oldholden it would have to be pink.

So, the question for you lot is to come up with a Sandman stripe combination to suit a pink base. Any ideas?

Pink bits for Sandman

Jeez, against pink. I'm finding it hard to picture something.

Best I can do is a mid blue.

Maybe maroon?

Cheers

Pink Sandman

What a cool idea :)
Number one daughter in the Q-ball house-hold has a few years to wait for her 21st....she like purple, so its a toss up between an LJ torry or a Fiat Toppolino rod....
I have had a couple of "Strike-me-pink" race cars...theres 1 in "my shed".
Blue & silver/grey worked well, I had pink numbers on a yellow car........hmmmmm....keep coming back to the silver and /or blue combo.....

Pink Sandman stripes?

A white, grey & black combo of stripes and lettering would work well against pink 'duco' I reckon. Just don't go yellow or it'll look like an Eagle Boys promo vehicle.

Surely, the name decals could/should be altered to say 'Sandgirl', 'Sandwoman' or especially 'Sandchick'!?!

sandman stripe colors

you may find it a bit hard to find any stripes these days, the dodgy ones on ebay are nearly gone...

lucky for you my mate has a stack of complete sets that were made properly. He has a bunch of red sets left, as well as a fair few orange, i think he has two dark blue but i'm not sure if he wants to part with them or not. he has one purple tailgate sticker (but no side stripes) and the light blue sets are completely gone.

If you wanna do something special you could have them air brushed. I thought of doing the stripes on mine by masking and spray painting, and adding in one of the special-effects paints like 'mutant crystals' or 'night moves' (sold by DNA paints) to the main part of the stripes.

Silver/chrome contrasts well with hot pink, so would a light blue.

if ur interested in them stickers put your email or phone number up here and i'll get in contact with you. we're in south oz.

QLDfireman - sandman stripes

I will be producing the screen printed versions of the HX and HZ ones within the next month. So there will be plenty of good stock around now as anyone would agree with any other decals they have purchaced from me.

QLDfireman, we can do you a set in any colour you wanted. I think that purple/dark blue and pink would look good.

Drop me a email if you want.

later and hopefully that will help u decide. i would do a front view but i recon the rear view gives a much better idea how the stickers will look, which is what u were after.

Blue and White

Blue and White would look awesome on pink, I reckon. Blue stripes with white outline IMO.

Pink? How Pink?

Pink, especially if it's hot pink your thinking of, will look WAY overpowering. It'll be so bright you just won't be able to look at it, especially with a hangover :)

Now a white sandman, maybe candy apple or super metallic, with pink stripes and a hot pink interior would look Wicked!!!

Any reputable sticker shop should be able to make your stickers too.

now that would be cool! a combo of bright pink and some dark purple would look awsome!
