I used to own an automotive aftermarket company when I lived in Cincinnati (Class Act Autographics)
I still have some stock left over
Pinstriping, some graphics, gold leaf, roll vinyl, and a 24K gold plating machine.. I know there is someone just aching to get some gold work done! I have seen it, and I think it rocks on the right vehicle!  hit me up if you need something.. I know I have some 1/2 high bowties and ram heads (F(*&%^ DODGE)...

Gold leaf?  Really?  I hadn't heard of using that on vehicles.  Where would you use it?  Hmmmm...

gold leaf can be used anywhere you want. The gold leaf I have is 22K gold. The avalanche lettering in the cladding on 3 sides can be done, tedious work, but can be done. I bet the front bowtie would kickass if it was done in gold leaf.. I did mine in a dark grey and black marble look...  I probably wont keep it that way though.... I am in the market for the billet grill, and I am going to put red lights behind it, and hopefully I can find a billet bowtie, or maybe have mine painted black... Looks like I will be getting my airbrush kit back out...  LOL  I used to do vehicle graphics, and  some custom paintwork...

I'll bet that would be cool!  Gold lettering    When I first got my Av I originally wanted to do all gold accessories on it, then I found out there just isn't that many items in that finish.  Then I started looking at some that had been on other cars and it seemed like the finish didn't hold up.  So I went chrome.  If I ever get around to painting my power bar to match the truck, that gold bowtie would look pretty awsome.,..I don't have a garage so I'm waiting for the weather to warm up (and stay there) since I have to do any painting outside.

Great to know we have a professional on board who knows how to do this stuff!!  I'm sure I'll be talking to you again about this

You know what, I will go ahead and do my front bowtie in it.. I will report with pics!  after all, it was gold in the first place... just a yucky gold behind plastic.....

Ok, how can I get that done to my bowtie....

 

[shawn1007]

Thats pretty cool looking.  Like the carpet too, same that we just put in our home office. 

Got any pics of the dark grey and marble?  Trying to put my truck in all dark and burgandy (no chrome).
