    If I tape/glue these on prior to spraying, they will result in an upraised pattern in the LineX. That way, I can take tan paint and do the face of the letters on the black cladding and vice versa or whatever color I choose. I think the red will go back on the hood Red on tan will POP!!

    One day Jo, One day...

    I am going to go without the A pillar decor, maybe a marlin instead?

    Just set up my appointment for Monday. Have to take the truck by on Wed afternoon for a walk over. Gonna talk about what preps I have left, and give sample for color match. I decided to do the regular LineX on the cladding, I don't think the shiny would look how I want it to. I will do the shiny on the top half for UV protection. I also asked about the expanding foam I did in the rust pockets, he siad that will work just fine, but it would look funny, but since it is under the cladding, it doesn't matter.

    I am, a lot of work to do, Jason is sending me some printed emblems, truck goes in tomorrow for walkthrough on what I want done and how to prep it.
    I aksed about the plastic, he said he will have a better idea once he does it. Will try to keep the cost down if you bring the pieces in off the truck.
    Super stoked!!

    Funny thing, when I was originally VX shopping, Ironman white was at the bottom of my want list, followed by proton.
    After having a proton, I can't imagine having another color.
    Having said that, spending this much $$$, I can't imagine keeping it an OEM color, plus the yellow is tough to make look good with the LineX, it ends up with a washed out look.
    Plus, for some reason I really like the khaki on black look of the FJ cruiser. Khaki on Plum would be nice too, but I am trying to stick to colors that I can easily touch up if need be later on. The tan I am using is the same as the rubbermaid bedliner tan, makes it easy to modify rims, or any other accessories if I so choose.
    But yes, it will be weird to go out the the driveway and not see the yellow monster
