I used to own a Decal company.... we did trucks way back when..... the first to do it in Canada.

I hired the 3M guy to sell.......... we made our own film

I know the product....

for a temporary transformation, a good option....
Doms would love it........... new car every month or so

its fun if you enjoy body work. my painter made 1500 to 2000 a week just moving from booth to booth. zero prep work. I owned the business, I did prep work hahahaha

A prado is an SUV to me but some call them trucks, my wife calls them a bus

It was me misunderstanding. I thought the reference of using Rhino liner was in the (non-existant) bed. I see now it is on the body.

I got it painted locally. There's a young guy on the road halfway between Sosua and Cabarete next to the HBV plaza. His name is Vladimir (although he's Dominican) very nice chap to deal with. He did the pretty much the whole truck for 22,000 pesos. I'm very pleased with the result. I'll post some before and after pics later.

In the end a 22,000 peso paint job was worth it. Much better than me doing it myself. I just focused on the mechanicals and it's like new now. It was a fun project and this beast is amazing off road. We've had a lot of fun with it.
