Thats a fine paint job in my opinion!!

Worth at least a beer for that driver.

Wow!

I wonder how much that paint job costs?

I 've checked into getting a big american flag pattern airbrused on my front clip and had quotes up to $2500. Not nearly as much detail, very little shading, and only 4 colors. I'd bet up to 15k easily. Unless it's a vinyl wrap like I'm going to do with my car then probably closer to 3k.

Not a good get-away vehicle by any means

OUTSTANDING!

Must have took heck of a long time to do that with such detail!

Heart's in the right place, but that's by far the ugliest truck i've ever seen.

I wonder if it's a wrap or paint.

Posted: 1/24/2006 10:28:40 AM EDT

wow thats the ugliest fuckin truck ive seen in along time. i think its a cool idea but i would never do it to a truck. perhaps a piece of canvas or a wall.

Needlessly over-dramatic, jingoistic, and militaristic. It also shamelessly uses a justified attack by the oppressed against the evils of our imperialism and capitalistic greed to stoke the fires of hatred against non-whites. Only a closet murderer would like that example of fake patriotism.
OW! I hurt my brain trying to think like them!

LOVE the LEAHY-class cruisers on the port side!

ETA: Heaven only knows what that cost to do....

nice truck, suspension looks tweaked but well fabricated, I'm more into the dull flat black look but the paint job looks awesome.

Wow, I'm impressed by the mural and details.

That truck is really impressive. Someone put a lot of thought into that.

some is the shit with an airbrush

Posted: 1/24/2006 10:39:49 AM EDT

I find offense in the fact that the flag raising picture is of fire fighters...not the Marines on Iwo Jima who fought in WWII.

Other than that, cool paint

If I wasted that much $$ to bling out a truck that couldn't be driven for fear of hurting the paint or scratching the chrome, then I agree. I would definately have a tear in my eye. Other than that, some people need to get a life. While it is a wonderful tribute to 9/11 and America's heroes, I find that kind of thing gaudy and tacky. Kind of a monster truck "attention whore" if you will.

Thats sweet.

+10 for paint app inside the wheelwells.

Holy shit that's impressive.

What a great paint job. The interior is..... well.........really blue.

Just wondering about the F-15 and F-16's flying around the CVN.

They did a beautiful job... but ummm ok. It's his truck I guess. Like somebody else said, their heart is in the right place, but it's just plain tacky and gaudy, just like when people paint all sorts of shit on their lowriders.

that's a lot of air brushing

Its wrap guys. The wrap is printed out on large printer just like your PC and photos pretty much imposed anyway you want them.

The number one company for doing this is in Dallas. The cost really isn't all that bad at about $3,000 per vehicle or about the same as a real first class paint job. The wrap actually goes on faster than painting. Its the artwork cost, wrap cost, and prepwork that drives the price. Its used a heck of alot on race car graphics. Bang up a Nascar car, fix the body and rewrap the section.

I'm a motor head and watch all the motor shows. Hey they took off most the good gun shows.

That truck was at the Joint Services Show at Andrews last year. It has a very large stereo as well. You could hear toby keith playing on the opposite side of the show even during the F18 demonstration.

Nothing Id ever have and kind of cheesy in a way, but the actual paint work is awesome in detail.
