Wrapping my truck

I'd like to have as much input on what you think a great looking wrap would look like.

Please post any and all trucks pictures you have seen that are wrapped.

Thanks for all the pictures to come.

I'm going to have the whole truck done. If you see a picture on the net please post it for me, I'm trying to get an idea of what to do.

Thanks for the input.

Are you doing it like a paint job, or advertising something? I've never seen one just for looks, always advertising a business.

I'm doing it for looks, I've got a friend who has a sign shop that also does car wraps and hs is going to hook me up BIG TIME. He just wants something to go by. (SOMETHING COOL)

Thanks

It can be used as a billboard to be helpful in advertising.

However, it was be used as a cheap alternative to repainting and customizing.

Most wraps last for 5 years and if applied in a professional way, it turns out and looks great.

There is a huge industry on custom vinyl wraps and even magazines just for vehicle wraps.

Here are a few of my brother inlaws truck wrapped in camo clad real tree hd ap pattern. It turned out real nice and I like the way it looks (other than being a ford) and like stated above, it comes with a five year warranty. It cost him a little over a grand for the material. He also has put a set of black wheels on it now with a black tool box and blacked out grill.

That looks great. Thats what I'm wanting to do with my truck, but no way I'd go with camo! I'm wanting something that is different and looks cool. I'd love to see some pictures of SEMA trucks that have been wrapped.

I know alot of the members here don't like the idea of wrapping a truck, but I have someone that wll do it for next to nothing and thats about $5000.00 cheaper then a great paint job, and you can do alot more with a wrap then a paint job. Plus if you mess a body part on the truck They can print out a new piece of wrap for just that part

Thanks alot for your input
