Any info on this paint scheme? Please view!

i just found this truck on eBay in Albuquerque. It blew my mind because the paint scheme is so similar to mine. Right down to the fact that they masked off the chrome wheel well trim and painted over it. I contacted the owner and he says there is a tag from "unique Designs" in Albuquerque but that is all he has to go by.

i don't know the entire history of my truck. I know it's been owned by two different US Army servicemen and one brought it here from Korea. How it got to Korea I do not know. I do not have any evidence to suggest it was ever in Albuquerque.

Anyhow, if anybody knows anything about it, please let me know.

There is a 4Runner with a white paint job like yours that I just saw today here in town, the only difference was the 4x4 was painted like the one on the maroon one. I live in a pretty small town so I'll try and track the guy down and find out the story behind his

Cool, thanks Jake!

ive never worked in a body shop but perhaps someone who has can answer this... Where there commercially available stencils that you could use for this type of custom paint?
