This artwork captures a unique moment in the history of Viação Cometa. Unlike the classic "skirt and blouse" (beige and blue) paint scheme that dominated for decades, and preceding the "Hale-Bopp" (stylized comet) paint scheme, this version is known among bus enthusiasts as the "Silver Skirt" or Transition Paint Scheme. Applied to the Flecha Azul VII models of the late 1990s (such as bus number 1334), it abandoned the blue on the lower part to expose metallic silver, celebrating the noble material of the CMA body: aeronautical duralumin.

The design of this "penultimate paint scheme" is a study in elegance and sobriety. The artwork highlights the straight central blue stripe that runs along the entire side, housing the classic "Cometa" logo. The great differentiator, however, is the yellow trim (fillet) that separates the blue stripe from the silver skirt—a subtle detail, but one that gives the vehicle a unique and sporty visual identity. The roof retains the traditional white/cream color, creating a tricolor harmony that marked the last journeys of Cometa's "old guard" on the Via Dutra highway.

Illustrated with technical precision by Alexandre Guedes, the poster depicts the CMA Flecha Azul VII, prefix 1334. The side view (profile) allows one to appreciate the robustness of the 360hp Scania K-113 CLB chassis, with its spoked aluminum wheels and the characteristic inclined windows of the VII series. It is the definitive record of a paint scheme that served as a bridge between classic tradition and the modernity of the late millennium, indispensable for anyone who wants to have the complete visual chronology of the company on their wall.

Quality for Discerning Collectors:

Landscape Format (42 x 29.7 cm): The horizontal orientation is perfect for displaying the imposing length of the bus and the straight, continuous lines of this specific paint scheme.

Semi-Gloss Finish: The 250g coated paper with a semi-gloss finish was strategically chosen to reproduce the metallic effect of the "silver skirt," differentiating it from the matte parts and creating impressive realism.

Historical Fidelity: The artwork respects every proportion of the 1998 model, including the correct typography and the exact positioning of the yellow border.
