Shark Mouth Paint Job
It was a good idea - in my head - until I googled around and actually found a photo of one.
I'll stick with plumber's white for now, although I'm not ruling out a full side mural one day of my dog baying at the moon.

Re: Shark Mouth Paint Job
Well sure, but that's on a Chevy.

Re: Shark Mouth Paint Job
You could do a better job than that. Maybe even include a curve or two.

Re: Shark Mouth Paint Job
I think teeth on just the grille would be fine.

Re: Shark Mouth Paint Job
I saw a stealth van here in San Diego a few months ago that had a giant grimacing skull painted on the back where the rear windows were the eye sockets and a fake (I hope) gun turret mounted on the roof. That makes you pause before performing any type of lane change.

I don't think it's the idea that was the problem with that van...

Re: Shark Mouth Paint Job
If you're going to do it, go all the way.

Re: Shark Mouth Paint Job
Good Lord!
Jeremiah, you have inspired me.
The only things stopping me now are:
1. Finding a good paint guy, but I would think there'd be somebody in the New York area who does good work.
2. Wondering whether or not it would make me more of a cop magnet than the van already is.
Wow!
The two-tone mouth and the eyes help a lot.
What did P40's carry for armament, 50 cals? Like, 3 in each wing?
