I have a hood blackout mid hood and a couple smaller distressed flags for the lower front fenders or doors. First time messing with graphic decals but watched several YouTube videos that helped. Some of the material is super thin that highlights the letters on the bed the tailgate letter were solid so I started there. A guy needs to go slow keeping it wet with soapy water and you can work with it to get it to lay flat. It came out pretty nice not perfect but I’m content with the outcome.

I've seen some real neat wrap art decals ...such as full wraps of military men , jets, choppers, flags, full very well done scenes on semis. Camo, mountain scenes, big game , etc. There is something for everyone. The guys who want hand done are classic muscle cah owners, bikers for their tanks and fenders, semi trucks too , who have specific wants and have the goal of hand done work. Signed by the artist , the whole bit. Its an investment for them. Its all fun. http://www.illustrationsinmotion.com/index.html

Go to the big cah shows and you'll see whole booths set up by artists , with lines of customers waiting. Same for bike shows or bike rallies such as Stergis. . Look at the rows of bikes and you'll see very good art. It isn't like the wave in murals of the 1970's and early '80's , but it's still out there. http://www.illustrationsinmotion.com/index.html

I added atrailer brake control, larger sized trans cooler, and overload springs for pulling trailer and a turn over ball for hitching to one. Then a brush bumper, grill guard, and tinted the windows. I wash the underside after every trip to the coastal bend. ï¿½Whatï¿½s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.ï¿½ Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

I've seen such amazing striping on bikes. Nessy yinz finally did it ! Looks great. That is a distinct style of its own. I do the more light, flowing lines. One thing I haven't attempted yet, are thin, straight lines from front to back along a vechile's frame . Styles are varied and the ahhtist preferences can be very different. http://www.illustrationsinmotion.com/index.html
