Zombie Assault Preparedness Vehicle or ZAPV

Before:

I had just bought the truck for 4k with just over 100k miles on it, was just going to be a daily driver but decided to make it a capable off road vehicle. Soon you will see the transformation of this truck into the ZAPV or Zombie Assault Preparedness Vehicle.

This is how I got the truck.

I decided to put bed liner on all of the plastic parts, and it looked good. At this point I thought I was done with the body (foolish me) I was going to settle for a good looking with minor capabilities truck.

I soon grew tiered of all the plastic wrapped around the truck, and the fact that the bed liner wasn’t sticking to it, so I pulled all of the plastic off and started over. I filled all of the holes left by the plastic with bondo or expanding insulation foam.

Bed lining was applied next. The whole truck was covered (including the rear wheel well). This didn't take as long as I thought it would.

And at last the Zombie Assault Preparedness Vehicle or ZAPV. It is the essential vehicle to use in case of a zombie outbreak, it can drive long distances, prevent rust, clime mountains, find high ground, and cover your sent from the brain eating *******s. This should not be your only plan in an zombie infestation, but you should always keep several options on the table. A vehicle would be the first step of a evacuation from an infected area. You would only want to use it to get out of a major city and make it to a relatively rural zone where you can take a high vantage point. Remember always be prepared.

Sweet Decal , I Need to make something For Mine Soon !
 




































Good Stuff

 






LOL, This was funny. Well, I laughed anyway.

 


















Judging by the decals left and right of it, I'd chance a guess that they have their own or close access to a vinyl plotter.

Very clean work!
 






Lol!

oh god, all the zombies will starve!
 






Well im still around, but wow over 20 pgs since i was gone. Im not so optimistic as to catch up. Oh well ill just go from here.

I had a question. I was planning on going kind as the same rout as the guy who started this thread. The whole flat black and not exactly the lettering how he did it but some thing smaller. My Ex is white and in fair to good as the paint job goes. Should I go with the flat black? Professional not rattle can.

Thanx for the input.

ZAPV 113 out.
 






Flat black is hard to keep clean and satin clearcoats can sometimes cost more than a regular base/clear job. Generally speaking, repainting a full car is very expensive.

The OP didn't actually paint his truck black, it is covered in truck bed liner. The way he did it was with the kind of roll-on kits you can get from the store, but you can get spray on truck bed liner kits online, and they are generally higher quality. Generally speaking, it is also easier to get an even finish with the spray on stuff in my opinion, but, they do necessitate having a fairly large air compressor.
 












heres a few more good ones the frist one is a great one for all of us lol
