Or post up links to old threads if you have them. Just bought this 79 Blazer. It is ROUGH, very ROUGH. If it gets a repaint, anything is possible but I do like those chunky graphics THREAD LINK. forum.retro-rides.org/thread/206373/grizz-2wd-chevy-blazer-projectI was hopeful ng some of you had cars with or photos of 80’s style graphics to share. Please post up. What I like. ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/bicycles/3D9BABE8-DA5C-48B4-8492-E7771E7E763C_zpsjppdcbln.jpg) ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/bicycles/9854BE0F-3877-499C-B706-217B1991CB21_zpsipvs4g4z.jpg) Even this can work but is obviously in a different world like the Bigfishgarage truck above. ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/bicycles/8639F43C-8AB3-45D9-BC7F-700ACE44E117_zpsz8lzx4y0.jpg) What I bought. ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/bicycles/8A162B7F-4341-4CC3-8031-66047E57DE74_zpstqbbhd9x.jpg) Along with my Berlingo. I do like crazy colours yes. NASCAR Truck livery ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/bicycles/9EFCD3B2-8AE1-47C3-945C-7EA696B55505_zps8ddr7cbu.jpg) Thank you guys n gals.

Reminds me of a colorful blazer, one generation younger than yours, I saw in a mag long time ago. It was a combination on turquoise and dark blue with some wild graphics, probably more 90s?
Anyway since you´re surely not going to paint the car too soon, I would suggest to look for some old-ish minitruckin mags on ebay.com for inspiration.

Go to your local youth hangout, PCYC, community center, I am 100% sure you will find a gifted "painter" that will do the job at cost. I did this years ago with my Honda accord.

It's a very cheap way for the young artist to gain some fame, my Honda was a free canvas for him to show what he was capable of. It took him about 4 or 5 hours to do my car. It was parked at a local community center for all to see. He signed the car and I drove his art all over the local area. He got a fair bit work out of it. I did not exploit him. I paid all the paint, thinners etc. He got free advertising out of it. He really liked the job and I liked the result

Thank you for all the pics guys. Here are some of what is closer to my ideal look in case you have more. Looking at the various options to polish a turd These graphics are the ones I seem to be drawn to. Over the hood or over tbe roof. Ideally not a colour change from the white it has now. Starting with plain white on Smoothies. ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/bicycles/489BD74A-AF49-4236-84C3-D9F6D73496C6_zpstkran5s0.jpg) Randomly different. ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/bicycles/42374162-1398-49F7-BF9D-E3385525BD62_zpsjhzacjyx.jpg) This style really works for me. ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/bicycles/C19819EE-DC85-4AD1-99B9-1698DD67F06B_zps6emuxyig.jpg) ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/bicycles/99B93ADC-033C-4BF3-BD3D-AC62DE7492A8_zpsrtkrs8dd.jpg) ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/bicycles/25667BDF-D21A-47D3-9BAF-B1CBF8F28919_zpsiwldo9rw.jpg) ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/bicycles/EB2FCB2B-7CD5-4646-BDF4-68548407294A_zpsnvaxda4f.jpg) Of course I love this. ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/bicycles/E7F9D07B-D64D-41A9-89EE-E7EE109E9C8E_zpsvex45zom.jpg) ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/bicycles/2496053D-6125-41BB-9B35-D1859DE94ACA_zpsgd9c8tvx.jpg) ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/bicycles/15EC63D0-F932-4E19-9CD5-2D843A0644D1_zpsffppzbt2.jpg) ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/bicycles/40FC0E33-D948-4A3D-AB46-35D5D7FEC17E_zpssuuxgzvs.jpg) Really Really like everything about this van. ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/bicycles/FF75D7B9-208E-4DB1-BFBA-3115369EF8A9_zpsyyqli13m.jpg) ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/bicycles/95C5215D-FC79-41FB-8728-73E253EF4632_zps1mqqpzx9.jpg) ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/bicycles/87892402-F58A-4EF8-992E-D0F160D71ADF_zps7my2iam1.jpg) Lastly this.

I can't help feeling Littlepixel if you replaced the word blazer with bigtruk it would look better.

I'm no Littlepixel but have done a quick mock-up based on that white Peterbilt or Kenworth as I can't help thinking those colours and the blockiness of that design suit the lines of the Blazer more than some of the more delicate ones. I can't get the balances right but have run out of patience and talent.....
