Would you ever pimp out your pickup with a paint job?

[FourWD]

I have a 1980 Toyota 4x4 that I beat the crap out of during it's day. The exterior is fine, but every time I try to take it off road something ends up going wrong and I have to get it towed. I am going to retire it from offroad fun, and treat it strictly as a road vehicle.

Here's the thing. I have a lot of free time, and I love doing custom paint work. I'm actually somewhat of a struggling artist by profession.

I know it would be pretty lame to add flames or something else to my pickup, but I think it would be fun anyway. I'm a pretty weird person, and I would kind of enjoy the attention I would get by pimping out the paint job on a beat up old pickup truck.

What do you guys think? Should I go ahead and do it? The way I see it... why not?

Wait. Do you plan to paint flames on it?

I've always enjoyed people putting cheesy paintjobs on beater vehicles. I had a friend with an old beater chevy s10 that he spray painted to be camoflauge. However; it turned out really horrible looking, but he was proud of it and showed it off as much as he could, lol.

Maybe, lol. I really have a lot of free time. My main motivation is to turn heads and have people think, "what in god's name would possess someone to do something that stupid." lol.

I am not a fan of the flames, but putting unqiue paint jobs on trucks is cool. I think if I had the extra money and I was planning on keeping the truck forever I would do it. But the truck I have know, I am not keeping it for very long. So, no use in putting a paint job on it.

I think that's an awesome idea. I saw a big pickup truck a few months ago on the road that was painted like an American flag. I also saw a picture on the internet the other day of a truck that had a picture of the truck painted on the tailgate. I think that would be hilarious!

I think that a custom paint job, if done right, could look pretty good. However, I wouldn't go for anything as cheesy as flames.
