Guest rvgraphixs Posted May 22, 2008 As I crack my 7th beer and my 4th hour into the project, it's a mud runner for my buddy that runs this weekend. I already changed a few items since I started cutting to what I think makes it look better. Tomorrow I install, my day off go figure lol. I will post pictures after I'm done. The truck is purple and has run for a few years around here but never with such awesome graphics's lol. Hope it brings him luck The first pic is my thought and you can see I changed already from the ape pic. EDIT: that's my apron rolled up there, Chef by day detailer by night Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

polarkiss 1 Posted May 22, 2008 Looks good! Stupid question: How did you take a pic of the finished ape without app tape on it? Whenever I try that it peels right off the backer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeCamaro 11 Posted May 22, 2008 Stupid question: How did you take a pic of the finished ape without app tape on it? Whenever I try that it peels right off the backer? Not stupid at all polarkiss. Thats an excellent question. Maybe he just placed the small layers by hand. Could be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest rvgraphixs Posted May 22, 2008 Damn straight, I was saying that when I got home how sweet it would be to have a new fiberglass body to decal. But I guess thats why I want a printer to do full wraps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gm2k8 3 Posted August 24, 2008 the truck is awesome.. such an improvement to the spray paint sides lol.. however there is something about your advertisement/website url.. it just doesnt stick out as much as everything else.. i dunno if it needs a white or colored outline to make it JUMP out from the flames or what.. it just doesnt get my attention as everything else.. still looks good though.. i dunno maybe its just the picture.. maybe in sunlight it pops..
