The guy has software, that will allow us to see what it will look like. It will actually cut and print the graphics based on the design we come up with. We can play with colors and designs and get exactly the look I want.

I think a dark maroon, over top of black flames will look good on the pewter.

small pic but you can get the idea, the maroon works.

I could see your truck sporting that paint job. And I could see me being very jealous of it too.

Agreed on the flames. They have to be just right to look good, and IMO you'll never get "just right" with vinyl.

Leave the vinyl to your house, not your ride.

The graphics guy took pictures of the truck to come up with a design. He liked the one I have posted on here.

Slow day at work today, so I left early. I buffed out most of the truck to get the scratches out. I then washed it. I need to get some wax on it pretty soon. I am going to shoot the lower bumper valance black, and I am going to do something to make my emblem for the grille black. Not sure what I am going to do about the bumper. Some one has already hit my new bumper.

For those you that think I shouldn't go with flames, show me what you idea is. The truck is going to be used for advertising our computer company. I needs to be attention grabbing, but not rediculous.

Like I said, the rear most side windows will be covered with something one them about our company and possibly a few other companies.

This is the graphics guys website

The green van in his gallery, is our current company van, and sign for our office since the city wont let us put one up.
