As I mentioned a few posts up...
This "full side art" isn't quite so "full". It appears that it doesn't cover the areas that were just exposed by vinyl with the original Star Wars art... (the edges and the top part by the marquee).
What does that mean? Well... being that I THOUGHT it was, indeed, "full" side art, I painted the cab flat black for adhesion reasons...
It's just not going to work. The contrast between the nice glossy side art to the flat black is just going to look like ass. So it seems I get to re-paint the cab.
A couple questions (BTW...anyone else here re-sided their SW upright? I'd love to hear from you!):
(A) Should I go gloss, semi-gloss, or satin? I'm leaning toward satin.
(B) Do you think I could just paint the areas that would be exposed? I'd like to keep as much of the flat as possible... again, for adhesion purposes but I worry that if I just re-paint the edges and top area there would be an issues with the transition between the flat and the new paint...as there would be another layer of paint. I am not sure if it would be enough to be of detriment... but it's something to consider.
EDIT: I also had the crazy idea of spraying some clear along the exposed areas... that would gloss up the black... but I worry that spray-can clear would look like crap and I worry about adhesion and the fact that the clear is likely oil based (spray cans are...right?) and the flat isn't.
