Hi
I am wondering if anyone is available to help me identify some markings
10141788a by Tom Starks, on Flickr
they are the red and yellow “TEAM ZEXEL” ones near the bottom… I cant find a clear and large picture of the black text following them.
Thanks in advance.
Does this help?
Also, this shirt seems to have the same text if you need to know what words are used:

It certainly does help, it’s exactly what I needed.
Thank you very much!
Nice work- I’ll point out that the shirt must be correct, because the writing on the model doesn’t make sense (i.e ‘the super hot oti new taning’)
I once had a decal I couldn’t read and there were no clear pictures of anywhere on the internet (it was a 90’s Trans Am car). I searched long and hard and came up empty. Eventually I saw a car with the decal in person. I was so excited to finally know what it said and correct the little decals on the car I painted to have the actual words and not just little rectangles as place holders. It was for a tiny decal but it always bothered me that I didn’t have actual text on the decal even if the text now is so small it is pretty much unreadable.
Yeah that was my next option, write some gibberish. It will probably be illegible anyway but it was annoying me not knowing what it said.
I love the old JGTC cars but the problem is finding clear pictures of some of the smaller decals… Some obscure Japanese tuning company that went defunct in 1998 and there’s nothing online about them, or Japanese text that is hard to accurately reproduce when the only picture of it is an on-track shot taken from a 45° angle. Oh well, part of the fun I suppose.

The internet is pretty void of detailed 90’s road racing series pictures from any country. My obscure decal was for the Ford Climate Control Division, LOL. Ford put some random stuff on the cars they supported. Ford Electronics? What was really the point of those decals? Ford Climate Control division? Really? LOL. I guess when they were supporting the programs to the extent they were they could put whatever decals they wanted on the cars. I was originally investigating that decal as a film company. What I thought was a film reel turned out to be a snow flake on the decal.
