[maximusraylius]

yeah i think its a lil closer to what I'm looking for just wish i could see them in person to know for sure how small the diamonds really are i want it to look life like as possible...

 

[texasavage]

yeah in person would help out alot. they do look pretty close, but untill you have them in one hand and the truck in the other its going to be really hard to tell. have you checked the lhs yet?

 

[Bankrupter]

ill blow it up to size and print it for you. will know in a min.... 10 bucks in ink lol doing it in 4x6 first printing now

 

[Bankrupter]

Max that is a copy and print of your link above's pic. the tool box is painted and the bed is a 4x6 photo sitting on top

Justin, did you resize the image to 8.5 x 11 and crop the to 4x6 before you printed? If not, the scale you printed it at wont be the same as the actual sticker sheet...

I've used it a few times and it looks pretty realistic. Here's a shot of the Bronco body I used it on.

That's the parma decal sheet that you posted. It's more of a gray than it is chrome but it still looks pretty good IMO.
