Help me design a Porsche themed graphics package for my RV...

I recently purchased this diesel pusher motorhome, and the vinal graphics on the side are in need of replacement. The back end of the motorhome, where people have pictures of wolves, or other animals, etc is also bare. I would like to make a Porsche themed graphics package for the MH, so when I go to the Rolex 24, to track events, or just driving down the highway, my coahc will stand out. Here are a couple of pics... any suggestions???

looking forward to see what you decide and do... very cool project. I guess the obvious choice for the back would be a crest?

Ep. That was refreshing!!! LOL, While, I kinda like it...my wife would hate it!!! She was thinking more along the lines of the paint scheme that was on the Campion GT-1 racecar. Some vinyl graphics that wont be too hard, or expensive to put on.... But I like the ideas... keep them coming folks!!!!!

Don't care how you paint the thing. Just PLEASE use the "slow vehicle turnouts" provided when going through the mountains. GAWD I hate following these lumbering behemoths through mountain passes...

I could not agree more.... I can understand if there is no other way around...but it does wreck it for everyone else if there is an alternate route...and you proceed to take 1 hour to make it though 2 miles of mountain roads....

Thank you...if all RV owners were as considerate as you, the world would be a happier place.

There is a mountain pass not far from me that would forbid your RV. a sign posted at it's entrance. 13 miles of very tight twisties. The state isn't being mean. The highway is a former wagon road that was carved out of a volcanic lava flow...some of the turns are so tight that RV's cannot negotiate them.

The tail of the dragon is a walk in the park by comparison...

Or you can go Old School...



The the cool thing to do would be to paint the back so it looked like it was open and had 2 917K's stacked in the back.

the back lends itself perfectly to a photo wrap. The 917k suggestion above with a twist. the car up on a lift with a tech working on it from underneath. Just happen to know where a certain 917 could be staged later this year when its resto is done. ;-)

Thumbs up

Martini stripes on the side and huge crest on the back. Fuch style or turbo twist wheels.

Sorry I don't have time to make an example but how about (on the rear panel) a scene looking into the back with a 911 Turbo parked inside? As if there were actually a car parked inside? You end up with a bay view of the rear of a Porsche...

Donny, I was thinking of a big Porsche crest airbrushed on the back... or, since I own a 911 turbo... something like you suggested would also be cool.

The ideas above, which would be fine for a support truck, box van, etc, just dont do it for me. I was hoping for some sort of graphics package that would tie in a Porsche theme, but would still look classy on a motorhome...and would possibly look like it might have came from a factory.... Most of the newer coaches.... all the way up to the million dollar Prevosts usually have some vinyl graphics ( or painted) that extend all the way up on the side of the coach. My coach just has a big plain white space...begging for something to go there.

Just wanted to see what some other creative minds could come up with...while possibly tying in a Porsche theme....
