Last week our 3 week old car got badly damaged by hail. This week we made a deal with the insurance company and the car dealership and we will be getting this car next Wednesday. I think it needs a bit of a "flourish".

I am gonna work on a couple of ideas this weekend...

Anyone want to suggest a stripe or an "accent"?

We like "subtle"...

Just grab the pic and play with it is yer interested..no prizes..no need to participate if ya don't want to..I'm not looking fer "freebies"..Just thought maybe someone might be interested in offering an idea.

We are just happy that we are being treated well by an insurance company and lookin to add a little to the "look" of the new car.

Hey Dave, cool car. Are we looking for actual lettering, as in advertising, or just beauty graphics? And permanent as in paint, or removable? Blends or solid colors?

Joe...just "accents"...The van is the "company vehicle".

Pierre...Flames look good on OTHER peoples vehicles...I have never really liked em.

Dave..

OK man.. I tried.. and tried.. and tried..

BUT... I just dont know the meaning of "subtle"!!!!

Electric blue metallic and silver metallic vinyl with black outlines and drop shadows, and highlights.. The elec. blue is probably so close to the car's blue that it may be a ghost.. If it's the same indigo blue that Chevy uses on their Xtreme S-10's, the blue vinyl will disappear so maybe another color is in order.

I think he said he wanted something subtle!

Here is a new airbrush effect I've been developing for vehicles... funny enough, I call it "Hailstone".

Yeah, yeah... everyone's a comedian.

Jimmy, darn the luck!! when I got back home from St Louis a few weeks ago I did a major clean-out and I threw away about a hundred bullethole decals that I had printed from my Roland. They were test prints when I was adjusting the printer head so they were banded like crazy and figured I couldnt sell em so I tossed 'em!

Hey, would someone please explain to me in simple language how you get pictures to be posted on sight like you do? I do have a digital camera and I'll transfer pictures into my sign program but that is the extent of it but never knew how to do it on a sight like this. I've got some stuff I sure would like to share too.
I would appreciate this kindly.

Mahalo (thanks),
