oops sorry Alan i did not realize i put this on your thread till after i posted it, was just surfing through the board hitting a few replys. As this thread was promoting your work i have no problem deleting or moving mine. Just wanted to share some requested pics. Great work by the way, but we've come to expect that from you guys. Love seeing tasteful updates to an existing graphic. Its amazing how many years you can peel off by changing a color here an there and some re rigging.

Next chance i get i will compile a thread on the project so Justin can add his progress

This is what I'm talking about!

Need to get this done and the current owner bored of it to sell it off in a few years.

I don't think I could swing a full renovation, but possibly to buy someone else's after some hours are put on it.

Sorry Dave, didn't mean to steal your thunder. Just thought it was about time to change my avatar, sick of looking at the old paint job. I think Dave was going to start a thread on this, he's got a lot of time into it and some aftermarket parts available for older Guns.

Dirty Money, that is some impressive work. That just shows how changing some colors can modernize the look. Keep up the good work!

There are many factors that play into the cost of updating an interior / graphics. Old, worn out upholstery will need to be replaced. Heavily oxidized surfaces will need to be brought back to life before adding graphics / changing colors.
