Painting Opinions Needed (1 Viewer)

Hi Guys,

My pig is currently at the paint shop, and i'm trying to decide about some of the paint lines. The 55 will be mostly stock and used as a DD.

Do you prefer the stock paint lines for doors and door jambs, or the slightly modified lines on the fj45 shown below?

I'm currently leaning toward the modified lines. Thanks for the input....

Go with the piggy lines so you don't split the tail lights

The FJ45 door sills look kinda goofy. Keep it Pig style.

Hey guys, I think Heath is talking about keeping the exterior pig lines but wraping the color around to the inside. I have been thinking about the same thing. I really like the look of the lines wraping around. It seems to finish it off beter. If you are going for a stock restoration, stay stock. I you are just making her nice, I say wrap that paint around.

Wrap around baby

I like the wrap around approach. Wish I would have done that when I rattle canned mine.

Definately wrap looks much cleaner.

yup i figured that out with the examples of pics he supplied, i dont like the wrap around. my vote was for piggy lines unless a solid colore is used.

 

[890man]

Solid color !!! NOOOOOOO

 

[RHINO]

Solid color !!! NOOOOOOO

agreed

Thanks for all the input - I'll be going with the stock paint lines.

I still like the wrap around look, but have decided to keep it "Original"......

solid is original too but I must say, I envy the two-tone....

I wouldn't wrap it around the doors unless you have lots more time on your hands
