Default Paint and Decals

I decided my 98 Blazer could benefit from a little more visual appeal. I found a metallic emerald green paint I liked and also wanted to use a vinyl cutter to make some decals.

I did low effort render on MS paint to get an idea of how it would look. I had already made the flag for the window when I decided to start this so the stripes and fender flares was what I was doing next.


Finished product. Also, the person I bought it from put on 29" tires. I'll be correcting that mistake next cleaning the black paint off two of the rims.


Downloaded a custom Chevy font to cut out the ZR2. I was going to try and replicate the badge they use now but I liked this older style font better. (it reminds me of my friend's old Z28)


On the front, I relocated the markers and signals to the inside (mine didn't come from the factory with running lights, I found these assemblies at a scrap yard). Then I put LED strips in the fender flares. Both the strips and marker/signal bulbs are Switch Backs made by Diode Dynamics. when the signals come on, the illuminate amber then switch back to white afterwards.

Nice! Looks good... like the custom look... always find them more appealing when they stick out and aren't like every other one lol

I like it. I'll have to keep an eye out for it. I think I work pretty close to you.
