Correct, it is airbrushed :supz:

You guys who may have missed the airbrushed chrome on the 57 Chevy need to take a look.

Don't know how that got by me. That's some serious skill. Munken's van will be a thing of beauty. \:D/

I get jealous of you playing guitar. I have a Behringer iAXE393, but no time. :guitar:

No need to be jealous, you have obviously put time in where your passion is. I was blessed to be able to put in 8-12 hours a day when I first started (back in my 20's), so a solid foundation was laid.
We are all pressed for time as we raise our families and go off to work to support them. Sometimes we are blessed enough that our passions pay the bills for us as well. And if your paint & fab skills are any indication; your bills are well paid!! :cheers:

Well,,you've got the 56 color layout for sure. That chrome line is about the same line I want to seperate the two tone I'm looking at. How bout a candy apple red on top and silver on the bottom or the other way around,,,candy on the bottom and silver on top ?

Nothing is impossible. :guitar:
My idea was wine red candy and a light beige. This gold become to dark.
Here is the same pic with other colors

The early Chevy stainless line is an all new appearence for me on these vans and I'm sure others. All we've seen are the two tones seperated by pinstripes or other coverups for the paint line. This is really a new idea for our vans. Thanks for sharing your ideas,,really like what you've done.

Thank you Rebel.

If you should see a van with chrome mouldings seperating the colors, let me know. Would be fun to know if I'm first with this idea.
