This is addressed to anyone with a model of the McQueen Gulf Porsche...

I'm painting my car with this livery and want to get the stripes the appropriate width and height.

If you have the model, would you be kind enough to give me the following 4 measurements?

1. Width of model at roof (not the roof width, but the entire model.)
2. Width of the stripe at the roof.
3. Height of the model at the roof
4. Height of the bottom stripe at the roof.

Tried bootstrapping this via photos, but that just doesn't work.

Mucho apologies if this is the wrong place for the topic.

I'm not going to be any help with your situation other than to say that I LOVE that paint scheme! I only wish I had the courage to paint my own car with the same livery. I say GOOD LUCK!

....and show us pics when you're done! ;)

I *believe* that a member on this board, "Cherokee" has an ITB Opel painted with that same scheme. You might want to talk to him. His profile (here): http://itforum.improvedtouring.com/forums/...hp?showuser=473 (http://itforum.improvedtouring.com/forums/index.php?showuser=473)
