Stock-looking trucks with a few upgrades are regarded as restomod trucks. Because this ’62 GMC has a 383-ci Stoker small-block engine, it’s pretty fast even though it might not look like it. Though we don’t have an actual shop ourselves, a name was a must. Seeing several trucks with shop logos inspired us and got us thinking about what we could do. Since we already had a patina-style truck, we wanted to take it to the next level. If you can’t come up with something on your own, you will more than likely find a suitable design on the web. It also helps to research designs that will fit the part before you get started creating art specifically for your truck. Certain brushes and paints can be combined to create the right piece, but there are a few insider tricks that can make your art look legit. The problem is that if you lay down paint using a traditional technique, it might look too new for the truck’s style, and you’ll need to break the rules to make it look right.
The solution is to make your own signage, but this can get tricky.
