Early 90's Truck Paintjobs?

[robscott]

Allreety, I have a 1993 GMC Sonoma truck, It needs a paint, so i thought, seeing as its early 90's, then a paint job to match would be cool.

I can paint, and also i can do vinyl graphics too, so basically anything is possible

heres the truck:



I was thinking, it defo need some splattered paint on there somewhere, dunno about the rest.

any ideas or pics?

somthing like this

I've got some late 80s/early 90s minitruck mags in the garage I'll try and scan some in. I think with those wheels you'd possi ly be better going for something like the 3rd truck down. However I prefer the earlier style pastel colours, but they'd need a set of billet directionals to work.

I'm planning on falling squares style graphics for my Fiat, like this.

secretly I like this...... ;D

the black does look cool, but it will end up getting scuffed, as the truck will be used for towing the rally and race cars.

The late 80s/early 90s were like







Not seen this for ages, one of my favourite minitruck pics of ever.



Then they seemed to have a bit in the middle with plain colour paintjobs, then went to when bodydrops got big.

High time these graphics/graffix made a comeback.

If you have the time and inclination the more complex ones in the last entries are great.

Your ride.

Go for it.

Wonder if this is the perfect use case for a Vinyl wrap now days?

Also pickup as tow vehicle was not something I'd considered, but makes a lot of sense, and now I'm on ebay looking at pickups

[robscott]

printed vinyl wrap is cheating, its gotta be done the old skool way, with coloued vinyl, and paint


I also drew this today.... dunno why, lol



got the inspiration from this:

andy, i found that vinly DVD, it was in a load of samples you gave me. i watched it awesome indeed. just need to find a pain that sticks to vinly, as i tried acrylic based vehicle paint, it sticks, but scratches off easily.

It is A thread on Rods n Sods with pinup girls.

However, use Google Images and search for " Bomber Pinup Girls" loads of nice stuff there, maybe a few ideas there for you as well.
