1994 Aqua Blue Zaskar LE- FINISHED (Photos page 6)

Re: Calling all GT experts; I have a Zaskar question!

ahh so this is your aqua zaskar ;)

i know they did the aqua in 93 and 94. ive seen those graphics before, theyre original in '94 as the 93 were all white without a border (i think)

mine looks a slightly different colour in pictures and also depending on the light, it is a very difficult colour to capture.... You will find out how badly faded it is once you remove those graphics, also probably a good idea going for as close as possible to original graphics and place them exactly where the old ones were. if you change them to zaskar LE graphics for example you wont be able to place the (top tube graphics at least) in the same place as the old ones and it will show as fading after 20 years is pretty much inevitable. . also the original set are pretty easy to remove with a bit of persistence, so no need to apply any heat

The colour is a bugger to photograph, but I think mine might be a little darker than yours. Dunno for sure though.

It is s an LE (according to the decals at least) although the frames are identical as far as I know, it was just a different equipment spec.

The more I mull it over the more I think I'm going to try to touch up the original decals, I'll have a go on a section and see how it goes. If I use gloss enamel paint it should be easy enough to remove if it doesn't work (It should flake off just like the decals do! :roll:

I think the competition series decals may be beyond saving- but I'll have to see.

If it all goes horribly wrong, I can get some decals from Gil which are very similar, just plain white instead of the pattern.

Oh yeah, youve just photographed the zaskar bit of the graphic leading me to get confused :LOL: i took the pictures of mine in the porch where its bright and the light makes it look a ligher shade that it is. But it was made in jan 94 so it is probably the same model year and colour as yours. Its hard to tell really
