How was the "weathered look" of the lettering achieved?

Re: air ride's new shop truck
Fine Scotchbrite or some 1200grit will do the job.

Re: air ride's new shop truck
I have tried Grey, Green and Red scotchbrite ... as well as 800, 1000, 1500, and 2000 grit and none of them get the desired effect on the test pieces I have done.
Sure, they sand it down smooth ... but they don't give the "weathered / streaked" appearance I have seen on some. |

Re: air ride's new shop truck
Man,that`s right up my ally.Or,should I saw,"down my ally.That`s faded Woodland Green.Usually right ugly faded,but not here.It was so typical on older trucks it adds to the road veteran look.

Re: air ride's new shop truck
I think they would be right crazy to change the wheels. They nailed it 100% IMO front to back roof to wheel. RJ22

Re: air ride's new shop truck
I think those are the wheels we are going to stick with, but if we change them out, I will post some more pics.
