How To Stripe The Truck
I was trying to decide how I wanted the stripe to look on the truck.

I wanted striping that was used back in the 70's, not the newer striping designs used today. So I put the truck on the computer and painted it grey and then tried a couple different schemes.

First I tried to see how I wanted to have the side of the truck.

Hood Striping...


I tried the combinations of 1 solid large stripe....

 

More Hood Stripes...
Then the 2 solid stripes.....

And then the 3 stripe look....

Then the 2 stripes offset to the one side...
Then as I looked at my paint and how the striping is going to look, another idea came into my head.

Maybe I should have the stripes be grey and the truck be the blue. The blue paint I got from the paint store is a very pretty blue and I got a gallon of it!! This is a work in progress so we will see what developes...
