FEELER 1600-2002 "COLORS" Print - Input Please

[RayC911]

The original "colors" print has been NLA forever and I've never even seen one here or on ebay for sale. I've been thinking of redoing it for a while now so I had custom artwork made and I'm very happy with the way the it came out. The poster would have 30 cars so that's the limit for the colors. I've excluded the rarer colors, mostly from the 1502s. Below is the list I've come up with. Let me know if any of the names are mis-spelled or if you have a color you would like added. Also, I'll be calling the print something else, maybe "Patina" or "Shades". I'm not 100% sure if there are still any demand so feedback is appreciated. If I do not do the print, I may use the art for a tee another day. thanks for the input

i corrected the "Umlaute" - mostly ü's and deleted the "t" in Schwarz - oh and the Atlantikblau missed a t

[HarryPR]

I want one!

Had one of the original ones stashed away, but it got damaged by water.

Just an FYI; if you have trouble using the umlauted characters, putting an "e" afterwards (i.e. ue instead of ü) is an equivalent. Also, if you're sticking with traditional German spelling, the end of words with "ss" would use a character called the esset (looks like a b -> ß, ex. Alpinweiß)

[Napes]

Will there be a Legend so we know which color is shown on each car. I suspect some on this board could identify each car without a mistake, but I'm a little fuzzy on some of the more esoteric colors.

Thanks!

Bob,

I'm going to have the names under each colored 02. The challenge will be making the colors as close to the original as much as possible. Monitors and actual print colors varies. I never realized there were so many colors and in very similar shades, especially the blues.

Would be nice to see the exterior and interior colors like done here

It's not as easy as that anymore, thanks to german polititians and schoolteachers. Theres was a "Rechtschreibreform" that should have made things easier but fucked the whole thing up a bit. Mostly regarding word combinations and foreign words, that found their way into the regular german vocbulary. consensus now is, that the old and the new writing is correct :screwy:

Fact is, that the double-s stays a ss when the sound that's before the ss is short, like in "dass" - the "a" is short. But like in weeeiiiß it's a long "letter" - weiss however still is correct and mostly used nowadays. But the historic correct writing is Alpinweiß, you're correct there.

[HarrisGW]

Danke! It's been quite a few years since I've used my German, so I've forgotten some of the finer details.

[flyingjolly]

oh belive me, there's no need to know that - you'd be fine by doing it according to your definition. Most germans don't know how to do it right anyway.

[Mike87]

OK, so when will the poster be available? And how much will it cost me?

Last chance to add you color to the list if it's not represented yet. I'm hoping to get it to print by the end of the week.
