Ok, i plan to put stripes on my truck like Greg (jerskain) did


My brother works at a vinal shop, and he is going to make it for me, but I cant decide what color to go with.

I was planing black, but as i was looking at it, i dont think it would go my truck.

Now I am leaning towards Charcol Grey to match the fender flairs and all, but not sure if that would match with the black waag bar and the silver 4.0L SOHC sticker.

So i thought about silver to go with the 4.0L sticker, the 4x4 sticker and the pin stripe.

I donno, what do you think would look best?
Here are a few pix of my truck to help




And here she is all taped up to get some measurements to make the vinal sticker.





Any photoshopers are welcome.

 

If you do it do the enitre raised part of the hood except fo rthe dip in the middle, not just two stripes. For colour I'd say try to get one to either match your valence/flares or match your grille. That'd be sweet.

 

grey would look good evan

 

Black or a real dark charcoal grey.

 

black

 

I thought about that, but i dont like it. I'd rather have stripes

 

eather...dark shadow grey or silver...

 

well i gave photoshop a shot.her is black.

 

here is dark grey. I dont no how come these are so little.

 

How about grey or silver, with black outline. Just a thought.

 

^^ thats an idea.
Im still waiting for my lazy brother to bring home the color samples.

But im pretty sure im going with black and im going to get a new 4.0L SOHC sticker in black, and maybe a black pinstripe

 

I'd go with the 2 stripes of black, and paint the valence and flares black also...it's easy to do.
I'd keep the '4.0' decal on in silver and see how it looks, I think it would look good silver still and be a nice transition from the black and stand out. If you don't like the silver go ahead and get a black one after that...my idea.

 

ya, i have thought about painting everything, but i am worry it will get scratched up when i go offroad..i donno. When i get the black stripes on i will see how everything works.
My brother said his shop is really busy right now, so i gotta wait till the end of the month before he can get started on making it

 

About painting the valence and flares, I just saw the other day a plastic paint primer...the plastic paint may stick real well if used in conjunction with the plastic primer.
I painted my valence and flares about 6 months ago, and have gone wheeling a few times since then, and the paint is coming off a tiny bit, a few random spots, nothing huge, but I plan on repainting them real soon because I like my truck to look show worthy, haha.

 

i like black, but since someone else has it you may choose not to do it too, its whatever, nice truck by the way man.

 

^^ thanks for the comment.

 

I would go with black or silver. Black is What I have always wanted to do, but I think ilver would look pretty sweet too. imo.

 

i like black but have you considered white ? Looks sweet on the old malibu's and camaros ...white Would probably look best if fender flares where black . i've always wanted orange with white stripes just like the old chevy's

 

^^ ya, i dont think i would ever do white.
