Chrome Trim

Post by Nickabocker »

Ok i have one quick question.....is there a place that will make custom trim going down the side of my truck.........as everyone knows this truck of mine was my grandpas and when i work on it i hope that he is proud that his grandson is working and fixing it up....... And to make this truck even better i would like to do custom trim going down the side that at the end (near the tailgate)..... it would say.......Sherwin R. McNeil

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.

Here's a truck (not mine) that has the trim painted on.

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.
