Any company in your area that makes vinyl signs for the sides of company trucks i.e. construction companies, will be able to do this easily. You gotta remember though that the vinyl will probably not match the paint. In fact it will look much flatter than stock. I say leave the tan it looks good, or if you want it that bad, have it painted.

You could wrap your whole truck in one of those custom plastic (or whatever it is) sheets, making it look like a custom paint job. yea?

Those vinyl sheets you see on most trucks (the SFA Titan, probably the Rize truck above, etc) are more than likely done by the monkey wraps company. I know thats not the name of the company but it's what comes to mind as I try to remember. Search for the solid swap Titan created by the offroad magazine (I have a huge blank, can't even remember the magazine and the editor in chief frequents Pirate4x4 as well). When you find out the name of that magazine go to their website, read the article on the Titan project and towards the end they'll list who made their vinyl wrap, they're without a doubt the #1 decal wrapper, they look amazing.

I was thinking about doing this..... the one shop that I went to had poor quality Vinyl... The install was very tacky looking.. So we placed a order for some 3M airless vinyl..after waiting about three weeks..I chose not to go with the shop the work that they had performed was just to unprofessional and I am still hunting for a reputable establishment..I did get both Ford badges Blacked out for free
