Distressed logo or not? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Need input on whether or not to distress or weather the lettering I just painted on my K5. I can't decide.

4tiresngas · 05-23-2010, 07:16 PM

I say keep it like it is because your paint looks pretty fresh. If the overall look was patina, I'd say distress. That's just my .02

**Stocker** · 05-23-2010, 07:22 PM

^ I concur.

If you distress it, potential customers might not be able to read the phone number

I vote keep it the way it is.

My vote is to keep it the way it is.

distressed possible consumers might think if you cant maintain your signage your landscaping might b of the same quality

big_al_71 · 05-23-2010, 08:57 PM

keep it as is....your truck does not look like a pile of crap to distress it...

bigguy69 · 05-23-2010, 10:12 PM

i agree with everybody else.

67_C-30 · 05-23-2010, 10:14 PM

Yep, I agree. It looks too good to have a distressed logo.

Marc33 · 05-23-2010, 10:17 PM

if the truck was distressed looking, the logo would necessitate distressing. Your truck is clean, and therefore needs a clean logo. Nice ride by the way.

I voted distressed but now that I think about it if you distress it people might think that it isn't a current buisiness. Keep it how it is.
