if i was you i'd take out everything and take off everything and paint it all!!! inside and out | | | Re: Starting to re-do my van..a couple pictures, now..! | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 28,125 Madman! | Madman!

I have a link somewhere, Oh, here it is http://www.customvan.com/visorsfo.htmGood luck. A little trick for arounf the windshield, if you have the rubber seal (not glue in windshield. Find a rope around 1/4" in diameter and lift the rubber strip and run the rope under the rubber strip. It lifts the rubber so you can sand and paint under the edge without removig the windshield. | | | Re: Starting to re-do my van..a couple pictures, now..! #84519 July 31st 2006 11:13 pm | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 240 addict | addict Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 240 | Hey Jesse, Looooking goood. I think you have the talent to turn that into a beautiful van. As a suggestion for a theme--you are going to be a rock star, maybe, something along that line. Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work.

It really is an awesome idea, but the thing about that is that my van has windows..and that means less space to paint something on. I was thinking of a whole bunch of logos of bands like Humble Pie, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, and some others..But theres just not enough room, unfortunatley. Great idea, though...Thanks! Right now im set on this: http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=main/7/19721501088.jpg&s=f10and since my interior will be blue, the base would be a royal blue type color, and the designs would be uh, something that matches.. What's your take on that? | | | Re: Starting to re-do my van..a couple pictures, now..! #84521 August 02nd 2006 6:18 am | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 28,125 Madman! | Madman! Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 28,125 | I like your idea Jesse! You could still do it even with windows (god did I say that) LOL!
You could paint some logos on the body and etch some logos in the glass. Just an idea! | | | Re: Starting to re-do my van..a couple pictures, now..! #84522 August 02nd 2006 3:22 pm | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 5,168 Vanaholic | Vanaholic Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 5,168 | Another idea would be vinyl decals?? I've seen a lot of vans with logos over the entire body using vinyl..I beleive there is a post in "Introduce Yourself" the tie died van was done in vinyl. I beleive his user name was clean cut creations.

What about doing something like that on the van in blue with purple fade at the bottom?? Just a thought.... | | | Re: Starting to re-do my van..a couple pictures, now..! #84524 August 02nd 2006 9:44 pm | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 19 stranger | OP stranger Joined: May 2006 Posts: 19 | Great ideas!
Superbeast- I really wish the band logo theme would work out, because that would probably look..awesome. I had an idea once..It involved a white lightning bolt that started at the hood, and worked itself right up the middle of the van, until it got to the back doors. Then one side of the bolt would be red, the other blue. Like the grateful dead stealie logo. And then just have band logos painted all over the place. Hmm, thats still an idea, hehe.
Vanatic- I never knew that was a decal. It looks like an actual paint job. That thing must have cost him a fortune and a half. I may PM him and ask where he got it.. Dang, I can't believe how well that decal forms around every part on the van.
Cobalt Dreams- Frankenstein? Well I can't say that I remember it, considering I was born in 1989, but I am familiar with it..haha. That would be a really cool design, and Ill bet that it wouldnt be hard to pull off, because I mean, its just, lines..Tomorrow Ill try to pull some photoshop action on a picture of a van and make it have that design as the paint job. I bet it will look really cool.
Well thanks for the suggestions. Im going to think about all of them. I hate making decisions. | | | Re: Starting to re-do my van..a couple pictures, now..! #84525 August 02nd 2006 11:18 pm | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,426 36th National Truckin Chairman | 36th National Truckin Chairman Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,426 | Welcome and great Job Jess,
