I like something like this mainly because the dark shadowing makes the white pop off of the orange background.

67_C-30 · 03-14-2009, 10:28 PM

I'd have to have Crushy on there too, but that's just me!

Too bad you don't live anywhere close to Minneapolis. How cool of a back drop would this be for a See Ten-ish backdrop?

Oh that's cool... Nothing a little See-Ten photo shop couldn't fix though.
I'd do the lettering and work in an orange some how.

Looks great!!! It is definitely is a PITA. I have just a little more work to do on my '69, and I cut my painting hand at work today pretty bad, so I gotta let it heal up a little before I finish it!

texanidiot25 · 03-16-2009, 10:05 PM

Especially when trying to do it so small.. But I was using cheap brushes (one with half the bristles cut off) and some craft paint I found laying around. Wet sanded to take the texture off the paint, need to hit it with 1000 grit to finish later.

I am really digging these style trucks,,,,,keep the picts coming...

packrat42 · 07-10-2010, 11:22 AM

gee thread from the dead! theres more out there free bump lol

jake_t327 · 07-13-2010, 08:18 AM

My girlfriend used acrylic paints with a brush to paint the dead rat on my door freehand. She used her airbrush to do the green odors rising from it. For the lettering, 1 shot is the only way to go, it's awesome. I used emerald green 1 shot for the "Rat Poison" and filled the center with gold leaf. I also used white 1 shot for some lettering on the hood. I might do a little striping on it sometime too. I put like 6 coats of hot rod flatz clear on it to preserve everything.

That Rat Poison is awesome..... girlfriends a keeper!

turner15 · 07-13-2010, 07:30 PM

Very cool stuff How you do the vintage lettering on flat black? When you wet sand and buff you will polish the flat black? Or am I missing something?

Hey! I love this thread.

CG · 01-22-2011, 08:15 PM

This is one of those "fads" that I really wasnt into when it was first getting popular, but I have to say there are some pretty cool door logos on this thread...Almost wants me to think something up for my K20.

fuzzy23 · 01-22-2011, 08:16 PM

I know it is not a truck but i am going to have the same person that did our pro mod do my truck.

oldblue1968chevy · 09-10-2011, 11:59 PM

Hubscrubs truck is making me consider doing a door logo..Just need to think of something.....

doubleb's69 · 09-16-2011, 01:46 AM

When I did mine I knew it wasn't original, but I used River City because I live in Des Moines Iowa and we have the Des Moines River flowing right through down town. Lots of cool trucks on here. I plan to add more lettering to mine later. By the way I used 1 shot pretty much right out of the can on a hot humid day so it would barely lay any paint down to get the aged look. Also I waited until it was almost dry and then wiped a rag with mineral spirits across it to weather it more.
