Dear John<o></o>
<o></o>
<o></o>
Great to hear from you and no problem at all to use the colours, as long as you can send me an image of it once completed.<o></o>
<o></o>
My only question is if you are planning to use the car for any commercial activity?<o></o>
<o></o>
<o></o>
Kind regards<o></o>

Hello Sam<o></o>
<o></o>
I am currently building a GT40 replica in the UK and wish to finish it in the traditional Gulf colour scheme. I understand that this is trademarked by Gulf Oil and that I need your agreement so to do.<o></o>
<o></o>
Look forward to hearing from you<o></o>
<o></o>
Regards<o></o>

Hi Trev,
The Avon stencils are also from Raceline digital I believe but you probably already know this.
I will probably not use stencils for the roundles and maybe the Gulf logos as these can be painted on. I know a guy Darren Horton .com who can airbrush anything see his site it's impressive.
I'm not sure whether you can laquer over these transfers so as not to feel the edges and I'm not keen on edges.

Keith, good luck with the car. I wanted the Gulf Colours too but settled for yellow and black which has really grown on me but when the time comes for a re-spray I'll go with Gulf Colours. NSXER's car has always been one of my favorites so his is a good one to copy. Post pics when done.
