So I have to let my painter know what sort of design I want for the cruise liner. What are people’s thoughts. Do I go for an out of the factory paint design, go back to how it was in its working days or just do something completely different. It’s a hard one

If you have permission to use the original colours and its what you want....go for it.The guy we bought our truck off wanted his name phone number ect off it ad quick as possible

Pic 3 of what mrs mack posted is class too....pic 9 is stunning..You have choices to make!!!!

Pic 3 is a Mack Australia paint scheme used in the brochure and advertising blurb

End of the day, paint it however you like, I  found styles of paint schemes I liked and then added the colours of my choice

It is surprising (on a truck with a bonnet) just how little room there is and how busy it gets, if not careful it gets to busy

Speak to people that pin stripe and scroll trucks, they have a really good idea at what does and doesn't work, there names are usually on the truck  somewhere as well

glad you have to make the decision; that is a challenge. for what it's worth what do you pull with the truck ??? van/ flat / lowbed. how would the color when hooked to a silver  or white 13.6 van VS a flat bed or tanker appear???
