    Stripes and windows too much??

    Hey im turning my 83 wb van into a mockup sandman. its getting sprayed jamaica lime (bright green).

    there are two windows on the sides and they will be getting tinted very very dark.

    the plan is to get a black sandman sticker for the tailgate and im wondering if the sandman stripe like the one on the hxs would be to much with thewindows?

    also any ideas for decking out the back would be greatly appreciated.

    No we will be putting the stripes back on our madeira red van which has windows once painted...that is the way we bought her so will be going back to the original...Pic below is what we did in the rear not too fancy but practical, depends on if you want to do an 80's custom design...

    Windows and stickers why not? There is hundreds of cars with both out there. Not a sandmans without stickers haha. opps that might start a "topic"

    plan with the stickers is to go flat black. only coz im not to sure what other options would look good. i was thinking maybe black outline with a dark green in the inside or something like that. a mate put a sticker on his car that was kinda metallic/reflective. it looked cool but is it better simple?

    my personal opinion is that the light blue, mid blue, dark blue stripes look GREAT on any lime green cars.

    yeah they look good. i just cant imagine it with the windows.

    also coz its a mockup im going to get in same font as the sandman just much much smaller size "not a" above the sandman on the tailgate. just to please the die hards haha. do you reckon you could knock something like that up?

    I saw a nice WB cruizin round with windows and the stickers. I probably wouldn't worry bout the not a either you know what you want and how it would look so I'd go with it
