I'm going to be ducking because you guys gonna' be throwing rocks at me on this one. I was considering some custom striping for my 83 Westy (Currently Green with White Pin striping, solid color). I visited a striping Boutique and the fellow had pictures of thousands of cars with various striping designs. He said he'd have to take a photo of my van and overlay some van striping designs on it so I could pick a design scheme. It sounded good but his prices went from reasonable to ridiculous and I would have been wasting his time had I let him continue. I liked many of his design schemes for vans and he had hundreds I didn't get to see. Something like a custom striping job might make you think you got a new van ????
