Anyone here ever make their own chevrons? I finished the van today, though one chunk peeled up while removing the masking (will touch that up by hand later this week). Also, I didn't mask the bumper or the body outside of the doors because these areas are both scheduled for re-painting and blue tape isn't getting any cheaper. The other is my '71 Dodge. I have been told that that set is backward, and while it is backward of what you usually see, I had a reason for setting them that way. Picture if the stripes in the chevron were lane markings. Wouldn't you want them to start in the bottom/center and end at the top/outer edges? That way, the pattern is directing traffic away from the vehicle, rather than to the center of it. Why didn't I just buy real chevrons? This is a $600 van and a $700 truck. I can reuse electronic equipment on another vehicle if these go bad. I can't reuse chevrons, though, unless they are magnetic.
