No, no that'd be my sig.

Looks like we won't see that rumored new blue-red livery with their mythic giant sponsor:

[vall]

not sure. They can paint it over the night

[Spencifer_Murphy]

Not from what I've read vall...

This months edition of F1Racing mag has a feature on painting F1 cars:

a quote from the beginning of the article:

A Renault R29 chassis enters the building as a black carbon fibre shell; it leaves 45 hours later emblazoned in a vibrant mix of white, yellow and orange paint.

45HOURS! Now I'm aware they wouldn't have to worry about the base coat (that's done already) but they'll have to repaint it which is says involves:

+ Masking off areas of car not to be painted yet
+ paint is applied in a room kept at 25degrees celcuis to keep perfect consistently of paint
+ each coat is just 60microns thick and requires 20minutes to dry
+ remove masking tape, and new masking tape to new areas
+ follow same proceedure for next colour coat of paint
+ a coat of "gold pearl"
+ two coats of clear lacquer
+ Then the sponsor stickers

It takes a while to do all that, and I'm sure BrawnGP have much more important things to be doing with their time in the run up to the GP.

I'm sure they wouldnt mind slapping a couple more sponsor stickers on that ride though.

[Scotracer]

I like the uncluttered look of the Brawn.

[Spencifer_Murphy]

oh of course not, I'm betting they'll add more sponsor stickers...I just doubt they'll repaint it tho.

[Tbox]

I assume they don't use vinyls, then?

Probably a dumb question

[vall]

I meant not to re-paint but rather put the sponsors logo. That shouldn't be that hard

[Spencifer_Murphy]

Oh right, yeh we agree on that then they'll add more stickers.

And yes they basically are like vinals, except one set of stickers costs Renault £350 according to that article i read....just one set (of which incidentally there are 67 stickers per car)

[ISLAMATRON]

Standardized stickers!

[Conceptual]

Standardized stickers!

Careful!

Now you might give Bernie the idea to have ALL sponsors sign directly to the FOM, and then Bernie will pass out the stickers to whatever teams he chooses on GP Thursdays...

[Henne]

I guess the sponsors are covered up here... So we'll see a white livery with sponsors I assume.
