Right side of the van is smooth. Almost.
This is thanks to my friend Kunal at Future Auto Body.

That will look Awesome!!
I had a bunch of accessories on my CJ7 painted with a charcoal grey/blue metal flake.
The grab bars, metal speaker boxes, tire carrier etc. Really a nice color, will look excellent on a larger surface like a van!
Specially with that Extreme blue. Electric, I like it.

Got a spray out of the new color combo. Don't mind the flash. I think we have a winner. What do you guys think? What color pinstripe to seperate the two? I was thinking silver.

Graphite and/or dark grey. I think would look good but it really doesn't matter! Your color combo is so nice, no one will notice!

Just one of my weird ideas: What about a medium strip of silverblueish or metallic copper barbed wire, with or without blood on the barb tips ?
Or, a Bass Guitar string? or some other kinda special pinstrip . I think, Those colors Look way too good to have just a plain old simple straight pin.

I think I will just keep it clean and simple with a single silver pinstripe to separate the two colors. I think the clean and simple approach will keep it classy and timeless. More pics soon.

So I drove it to work to snatch the 20's off of it and put the factory wheels back on it. Gonna paint the 20's to match the color combo.
Looks pretty huh?
Gotta love zip ties to hold the tag on.
and dangling fog lights.
Back to my friends shop to get more body work.
I also went to the jy and scored a new rear door. The one we welded just got too warped to fix. Gonna do it again. Sux, but gotta keep moving along.
