Cool ball python, I am co-parent to one named E-Rad (the eradicator)

If you use the blue masking tape it can be applied in curves like a zebra, if you want even more flexible tape, it's widely available. Honestly though I would suggest just spraying the whole truck the base color and come over it with the opposite color spray paint or airbrush. The soft edges would look better. But practice whatever you want to do on cardboard first because neither option will work perfectly the first time.

No not yet... but no stealing my idea I am planning to use a brick red, and even darker almost purple maroon, black and then probably grey. Not sure if I will have the red be blue based or yellow based. (Cool or warm).

I would mock it up but my computer died last year any my copy of photoshop went with it...

I wouldn't want the possible negative attention that paint might draw including theives and people that notice your truck and might ˟˟˟˟˟ with it just because. Also you do anything dumb in traffic (it happens) you'll have a truck that's easily remembered around town.

IMO a little descreetness would go alot further.

Ooops,thought we were talking more of a street going truck but since it's not really a DD then go for it and maybe go with some colored stripes.

Yeah... I'd say this ugly a** thing stands out pretty well as it is right now. Plus the rear window won't go up - so if that doesn't attract theives not sure what will

Actually, it looks pretty good in that picture compared to now.

That white fender (as in replaced once already) is bashed in too.

But it DOES have a passenger side mirror now!
