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 ????
