Bold graphics, airbrush, gradiant and true-fire
What happens when you want to paint your truck with bold graphics, airbrush, gradiant and true-fire but can't decide on just one???
See the Visual Overload!

Re: Bold graphics, airbrush, gradiant and true-fire
Lose the exhaust tips, the tire/rim combo and go to all silver and I would really like it. Course I'm partial to silver!

Re: Bold graphics, airbrush, gradiant and true-fire
Change the exhaust and toss on some factory chrome bumpers..... I dig the paint. Could go a size smaller or two on the wheel. I saw this a few weeks ago on ebay, must not have sold for what they wanted.

Re: Bold graphics, airbrush, gradiant and true-fire
To me, the truck is so close to being really nice, but it is just over the top. Remove one of the paint tricks (ok, maybe two) and it would be a nice looking truck. Right now, it is graphical upchuck with some true-fire thrown in.
It is much better than the mad-max thing but not as nice as most of the rigs on the board.

Re: Bold graphics, airbrush, gradiant and true-fire
I kinda like it but, if I'm doing custom paint, it's gotta be flames. Do away with the paint going forward and it mite work. Like said, tires and wheels have to be smaller....
My fav. would be a two tone paint, with metal separating the colors, like '67, '68 Out of a possible 10, I would rate it a 9. Who ever did it is talented. J.

Re: Bold graphics, airbrush, gradiant and true-fire
I don't think its that bad. I would have done things a little different but hey it looks solid, has a really nice looking interior and a 454.
Some pimples are just a little bigger than others.

Re: Bold graphics, airbrush, gradiant and true-fire
After reading the title of the thread, I actually knew which truck was getting called out on eBay. I'm close to buying it...just letting the auction play out for a couple more days. But I totally agree with the comments so far. Once you get past the shock factor (read as gaudy paint) it ain't bad... plus it's got a brand new Kayline top to boot.

Re: Bold graphics, airbrush, gradiant and true-fire
I'm going to take a wild guess here. I think the " true-fire " and fade on the rear was done as a repair. I'm going to guess that for whatever reason the back part of the truck needed to be painted and they felt it was much easier to add another style of graphic rather than fix the original ones.
Unfortunately, they didn't pull it off... ![]()

Re: Bold graphics, airbrush, gradiant and true-fire
I feel like it's ready to attack and frankly I'm a little scared. Honestly It's a nice ride just to over the top.
