    Ok here is the deal. Im working painting my 02 tacoma. It is lunar mist and lifted 3". It has black rims on it now but those are going to be 18" chrome. I have almost my whole interior smoothed and painted lunar mist with some small graffics. So now that the outside of my truck is getting painted how should I go about it. I know and understand less is more but I dont like doing the norm and never have. I already lifted and 2wd truck, put offroad items on and then I have leather interior with painted panels. So I know I kinda bounced all over the place but I built this truck and as it repersents me. I like ruff and bold with clean and classy line with some luxury inside. I want to put graffics on my truck but dont know where to go with it. I like skulls and flames the fox racing logo. but that is to run of the mill for me. I have been looking at the paint jobs that the 4x4 guys do and there are to simple. So any input positve or negitive would be great. Here is pic of my truck to give you an idea of my canvas.

    Im a fan of anything "evil" as well...so I say go with some type of tribal flames with skulls. Here are a few pics of different paint jobs that may give you some more ideas!

    That looking sick. that is kinda what me and the painter where talking about. Kinda like tattooing the truck. Anymore sick ideas. Can you and the fox head logo and some bike chain into it. This is right up my painter alley. I wonder what I should do on the tailgate?

    That looks badass - nice photoshop job. :waytogo:

    I like the concept to "tattooing" the truck - subtle art, scallops, etc. Might be expensive to get that kind of airbrush work done, but it would look awesome..and not overdone like some paint jobs.
