I have been thinking about doing this for awhile. I spent hours drawing and cutting out my template. I used silver paint first then went over it with a blue candied type paint. This was a practice run, I will be repainting my truck after some bodywork and wanted to see what this would look like.

Let me know what you think. Should I do more? On the tailgate maybe?

Flames and stripes are cool but on a retro beast like yours I would do one or the other. I personally am partial to the BRE stripes before any kind of flames but that is just MHO. Truck looks awesome and I hope to have one sometime next year.

The great thing about an old Datto truck: NO RULES.

I think it's kickass, Aaron!
