The Cruisin Cone is currently being featured in the Axalta Coating Systems display at the 2015 SEMA show in Las Vegas. The paint is definitely the one element of this project that made the whole thing come alive. While the paint has only been complete for a short time, PJ has been planning for the paint for a long time.
At one time, the ice cream truck was going to have a retro tiki vibe with the idea of selling shaved ice. That moved to just a retro ice cream truck but PJ's early idea had a Mexican blanket vibe.
PJ's wife insisted that classic red and white stripes were needed. Cheryl also helped design the Cruisin Cone logo.
Eventually the logo was enlarged and an ice cream cone (with 3 scoops in the colors of a traffic light) was added. Here's the working concept drawing that was created just before SEMA 2014.
Here's PJ at last year's SEMA show with the brochure about the project, drumming up sponsors. Apparently he was also checking out potential uniforms. Uh, huh. Right!
Here's an early mock up of the final paint design in but done in chalk.

Taping and painting the initial layers.

Coolest Ice Cream Truck EVER.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteThey definitely deserve applause for the nice selection of bread and the service at this place which was good from start to finish. The mass produced filet was too good. This is the best place for hosting great events. The event venue can accommodate as many as 850 guests or as little as 50.
ReplyDeleteNice
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your clear wrap concept of ice-cream truck to wrap it. But there are so many companies in USA to provide truck wraps Like Max Vehicle Wraps. You guys can also start your truck wrapping business in future.
