    Just my opinion but PLEASE don’t paint it! Find out the correct size, colors and exact locations and have a proper decal installed. Painting it after the fact is not a good idea imho

    The original owner ordered it plain red most likely so he wouldn't be stuck (!) with one particular kind of stripe. Other popular patterns include for instance:
    Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Maybe it's because I'm unable to see it closely but your Speciale looks great as it is. If you're not happy with it better upgrade to a higher quality sticker than paint on top of the paint.

    I would personally NEVER purchase a Speciale whose stripes have been repainted. Especially to a standard pattern like NART (whose stripes get thinner toward the front end BTW). My very first check consists in running a finger along the hood to detect any paint irregularity upon crossing the stripe.

    Please, please at least take some time to think it over

    Sorry guys for the late replay i will take time to think about it first before do the livery paint or maybe the sppf paint that you can peel it off when you want it

    Yes, it is painted by factory BUT you do not want to REPAINT the car and those panels— repaint is bad. You’d have to repaint the entire panel and paint the livery with a smooth finish under the clear coat and it will never be correct- all those panels repainted will hurt your value and originality. Just have a proper decal done.
