What are the chances that someone could get a FC in the colors that they want???
I know that New Tech is not big on the special order thing, but maybe you can set up an online colorizer for us to submit our ideas.
Use the ones you like. _________________ Mario de Angelis

Well, since there is a problem with us getting Grey polyester, which is the reason I am still here in the states and not at the factory producing French Connections, other colors are starting to look like a real possibility!
Care to come up with some colors?

Oh Dodd Please! You need to do this kite in two flags... The US RW&B and the French BW&R
If you look close at your New Tech logo, you will see that RW&B are your colors too. This being a flagship kite, I think should come in all of the most meaningful colors that apply. As it turns out, the color scheme seems to want to be RW & B. I wish I had a cool program to mock one up for you, but I don't… I only have MS Paint.
Here are some thoughts for the FC sail:

Or you can fill that grey space with this stuff. Very cool

Most larger manufactureres dont take special orders. But these colors could be a possiblitiy because we are out of grey.

prism is a large manufacturer no? and they accept custom orders... anywho why not replace the grey with white panels since you guys dont have grey material..im sure it'll look awesome with black, white and whatever other color. _________________ http://community.webshots.com/user/ed_diaz1497 |

I think the color scheme on the FC is great and really sets the kite off. I have my own ideas only because I find it fun to play with colorizers, but I think your problem might have a simple solve.
If the kite has a blue scheme use a dark blue or faded blue where the grey would be. On a red schemed kite, use a dark rusty red, or a faded red where the grey would be… Ext.
