Interesting, I would think some airbrushing may be the way to go, not sure if anyone would make something that specialized, you'd pay dearly for it if they did.
A good airbrusher should be able to make it almost look like trim until you got real close to it. I suppose the other thing would be to use Ranger trim and try and engrave on it and maybe lead it back in the way you want it.

re: Chrome Trim
I like that look. And much easier to maintain.

re: Chrome Trim
What about someone who does custom engraving on guns? It is metal, just an idea.

Does anyone know the owner of that Blue/White above. I tried to get some detailed pics from the owner when he had it listed but I guess I caught him in a bad mood at the time. Not sure if that truck ever sold.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~
