I won't be painting til next year-But I'm already thinking about colors, paint choices etc. In doing so I've become interested in having a theme for the truck. There's a section of town here called "Gypsy Springs" an informal name for a part of town that actually was the home for gypsies in the late 1800's to early 1900's. There was a natural spring there and they sold bottled water. My truck came from that neighborhood and my grand father worked for the gypsies bottling water for something like $.09 a day when he was a kid.
I've become interested in door art..after seeing Woody's door art page (thanks Woody). So I'll be incorporating the "Gypsy Springs" theme into some door art. Rather than try an find someone to hand paint it..I'll do it myself using modern technology. I'll create it using graphics software, have a vinyl decal made(out sourced) apply it and clear over it..wet sanding every so many coats until the edge of decal is invisable. (like decoupage for those familiar with that craft. This will not have the charm of a hand painted door..but keeps it in the realm of what I can do myself and should look pretty sharp. I used a logo program and will need to convert it to a vector file before sending it off via internet to the sign people.
Any body experimented with decals?
