Kansas farmer Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Since we got the rs back we need to letter it. Just wondering what colors you guys think would go with maroon paint. It used to have a dark yellow color which I was not to fond of. I can get a metallic color but it costs extra because it is special order from my guy. Any pictures would be nice to get an idea. Kind of leaning towards silver and black. Also hand painting them is not out of the question but probably going with vinyl.

j hancock Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 With the maroon, I would go with a faux gold leaf lettering or white with a black drop shadow.

ranchhopper Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 A silver metallic or that prism vinyl that shines different colors depending where you see it from. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44171-vinyl-colors/#findComment-326066 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'd go with silver or black. Dark cherry might work either.Actually if you really want you can go with many extraordinary colors too such as green or blue if you put some minor parts colored the same on the truck. For examle green door script and some green lines over the tank or wheel rims. Lettering color that matches a chassis paint might work nice if chassis is bright or attractive.

AZB755V8 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I got the same color cab. I was thinking of Chrome vinyl or Silver Metallic with a Red or White shadow or outline. The Black is to dark to be seen from a distance. Shouldn't be any extra cost for shinny vinyl material from a sign shop.

RedBullDog Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 My international is maroon and I went with silver vinyl. Gold would look nice as well on your trucks more classic lines. My CH is red and I just went with plain white because sometimes simple is better.

Timmyb Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I like Jims suggestion. I immediately thought white with black shadow, but gold would be nice too. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44171-vinyl-colors/#findComment-326592 Share on other sites More sharing options...
