Fooling around with paint ideas..

[Zenobian_84]

Reattached my fogs to the front of the truck today, and decided to do some fooling around with a photo editing program on my OS. Unfortunately, this is probably somewhere above kindergarten level, but maybe not quite MS Paint level. Oh well, still not bad for just using a mouse; the only downside to having a Linux OS I suppose. :dunno: :shake: Would have turned out better if I could find the pen that goes with my drawing tablet... :fs1: but I digress.

 

Scheme I'm leaning towards. But now that I can actually picture it on my truck, I might just have to do something about those rims. Possibly a re-paint? Who knows; and I also have some quality (Read: junkyard pick) Laredo side moldings to go onto the truck (under the stripings). Might have to pick up 2 more door ones to fit the @$$-end of the truck. Going to be needing some chrome door handles and mirrors too, to complete the setup I think.

 

Another possible scenario I thought about was going with the "Golden Eagle" scheme. Not sure if I want a giant eagle embellished on my hood though.. :nuts: What I like about this one though, is the yellow stripe along the bottom of the body, and the dual red/orange pin-stripes. Call me a sucker, but I adore the cheese factor of 80's cars. I'd probably replace the "Golden Eagle" font with "SporTruck" or something like that (or maybe just ditch the Comanche emblems and have that added in-lieu of GE)

 

Anybody got any 80's paint-job pics that would look good on an MJ?

 

...I'm 90% sure that my final goal for this truck is for it to become a mobile 80's montage. Seriously. :shake: :ack: :yes:

I used wine on linux to run photo shop. I have a older laptop but it seemed to work well.

I'm liking that "Twister" Truck scheme ;)

Black and red is always a good combo.
