Title: CF Bedford Paint Jobs & Murals
Post by: Jock on May 28, 2012, 07:45:51 PM

I am currently contemplating the paint colour scheme, mural etc for my CFL. I work for a company called MotorActive who are the Australian distributors of House Of Kolor custom paint (some of the best custom paint out there!) so I have access to some really cool shit when it comes to paint... BUT I don't know if that's the road I want to go down, don't know if I'm getting old (nudging 30) but I kinda like the plain, more standard look.

High end House Of Kolor or something cheaper and more standard? Mural or no mural? These are the questions that I need to find the answers to. Ultimately it will come down to cost so I will get the numbers sorted and get back to you all with the options. It will be a good exercise to give you all an insight into what it might cost to paint or customise your vans.

Paint - the possibilities are endless.

Feel free to post some pics for inspiration please....

I am going to be using it to cart my vintage Yamaha dirt bikes around so I could go something similar to this...

If your going to use it for hauling your bikes, why not do a motorcycle theme?

Mate it is a van just look at the size of the canvas even if you can't afford a good paintjob and mural look at a wrap
