    I just contacted Jason about some emblems,
    I want an 8" Isuzu "arrow" on my hood,
    "VX" on each A-pillar
    "VX" on rear door
    "ISUZU" for each side cladding

    If I tape/glue these on prior to spraying, they will result in an upraised pattern in the LineX. That way, I can take tan paint and do the face of the letters on the black cladding and vice versa or whatever color I choose. I think the red will go back on the hood Red on tan will POP!!

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    I am going to go without the A pillar decor, maybe a marlin instead?

    Just set up my appointment for Monday. Have to take the truck by on Wed afternoon for a walk over. Gonna talk about what preps I have left, and give sample for color match. I decided to do the regular LineX on the cladding, I don't think the shiny would look how I want it to. I will do the shiny on the top half for UV protection. I also asked about the expanding foam I did in the rust pockets, he siad that will work just fine, but it would look funny, but since it is under the cladding, it doesn't matter.

    I am, a lot of work to do, Jason is sending me some printed emblems, truck goes in tomorrow for walkthrough on what I want done and how to prep it.
    I aksed about the plastic, he said he will have a better idea once he does it. Will try to keep the cost down if you bring the pieces in off the truck.
    Super stoked!!

    I have a few Q's...Next week I'm making an appointment for spraying Linex to the cladding pieces (black/glossy/uv)...

    Is this more common than not? I was just going to take the pieces to them and have them do their thing. I brought it to their attention but they said that the technician will know if there is enough clearance. But do you think I need to actually shave the cladding???



    Also... I LOVED THIS IDEA!!!

    I'm thinking of maybe having a 3d Vehicross emblem that just says "VehiCross" (like on the pillar) on each door cladding and maybe a small Isuzu Arrow on the moon piece...

    HMMMMMM... love this idea!!

    I didn't bother trimming, they said they can thin out the spray at the edges, I will cross that road when the time comes, and I don't plan on worrying too muc about the body clips, so I have some wiggle room.
    As for the door cladding, not a whole lot of area to fit an emblem, nothing flat enough. I ended up scrapping that idea and went with the factory 3.5l spot and placed old school ISUZU emblems there.

    On a side note, Jo talked to me about his LineX job a while ago, but asked me to keep it a secret pending the Moab unveil. Funny thing, I thought I was super clever coming up with the decal idea and using Jason, turns out, Jo had already thought of that idea, completely independent of one another...damned clever VX owners
