Need some placement help here

If you were going to use the paint scheme shown on this Benroy here:

and your tear was 5 ' tall, and 12' long,
How far up would you begin the red???
meaning how far up frojm the bottom would you have the TOP of the red paint???
also how far back along the sides would you go???

and in the front, how far up would you think the "point" of the bottom of the topmost "V" would be???
How "wide" would you make the "stripes" on the sides???

You designer people will be alot better at this then I am.

Now if the gentleman would just move so I could see how the red "drops" behind him I would be happy hehehehe

It looks like that red drops in line between:

The bottom of the door and the top of the red in the door.

Man, you're asking a tough one. For the size YOU'RE doing, that might not even be the paint scheme you want to use in the first place. What looks good little might not look too good big.

Especially red. But...

If you have those original plans, you can just scale them up to your size. Including the stripe widths.

I like the look of the color stopping at the top of the fender. Regardless of how tall the trailer is.

You're right. That's the key thing.

If you wish to stay proportional to his design then you would need to be up 22.5" from the bottom. His trailer is 48" and the paint line is 18". Your trailer is 60" therefore 48:18 = 60:X and 48X=1080 so X=22.5. Also it seems that once he got to the fender, he let the shape of the fender influence his line. I would say to follow the fender around to a point where you could use an arc to leave the fender shape and blend into the straight line back. Very nice design and it would go great on a HF design trailer with it's red paint, but then one would have to compensate for the extra 3-1/2" of frame height.

Thanks a ton AOT.
Hmm I don't have fenders on the six pack but I think I have an idea for that.

This is just one of the paint schemes I am considering.
