I'm thinking GHOST flames just on the truck -- on the hood and fenders only -- not back on the toter..... and done very subtlety....

The first thought that pops into my head is, can they spray a big rig like that with a metallic and make it look good enough?

Just step back from the 80's. Either put flames or don't. No Ghost flames.

If anything just do more stainless on the truck.

I already proposed that question.... since I just asked for the color change and they're built in Indiana -- I figure I'll hear back tomorrow or the next day. I also asked about whether or not they're capable of doing the ghost flames and coming up with a design etc.

If you look at the IKON/Renegade website - and specifically the IKON versions (which is what mine is) they have some pretty "fancy" paint jobs.... but those are smaller areas... so a HUGE surface done in Metallic might be all mottled... I don't know.

I like the stealth/sinister factor of the Lava Grey. It could be real good and Gwen can get in a few "I told you so's" when everyone is handing out compliments. Win-Win

I'm just trying to break up the HUGE solid color and trying to come up with SOMETHING that doesn't say MOTORHOME OLD FOLKS PAINT JOB...


Actually --- it has a huge chrome grill -- and big headlights - and chrome bumper -- and SS all the way down the side of the toter and stacker... so maybe that's enough! And all the window are black...

Thanks for the input guys -- really! I'm struggling with this part of it.

Just put as much stainless and chrome as possible. If it needs more later just a vinyl decal. But with the proper stainless trim it will look very classy and modern.

Here's a video I came across just now looking for paint ideas....This shows the floor I ordered and the way the shower is done... and the TV over the cab etc.
I did do the Hydronic in floor heat system... the difference is ours will be a Freightliner Cascadia truck - 600 hp Cummins - Allison automatic transmission... and only 24' of living quarters but will have the dual rear axles..


And this shows the paint job WE DO NOT WANT.....


I'm in agreement with Rodger -- just the Lava Grey and forget it....
