How much does getting something like this done cost? Why didn't

>>15879048

>>15879044
between $40 and $100, for paint and brush.

Most of them do it themselves, something like that made by a painter would be more expensive than the car.

If anything the conditions are perfect now for a van revival

Feels gud mang

Because vans like that are cop magnets. They're not as easygoing these days and will just tow it away if you're lucky not to get shot by one.

Very few of those artistic paintjobs look good to me. I'd rather just have it plain.

The real problem are the vandals. I saw one such van at the supermarket. It wasn't an old van but one from the 2008 to 2010 period probably. Someone had scratched the paint job with several parallel scratches. Like several keys from the same keyring dragged across.

Americans sure have some funny ideas about vans.

A man with a van like that is bound to attract some crazy bitch.

It stems from the fact that we have such a large land-mass to explore. Imagine being apart if the 70's, where all of your friends wanted to go on road trips to every concert possible l, but didn't have much money. These vans made that possible. It's almosy an American icon.

these vans can go north of 100k

you arnt paying for value, you are paying a construction worker or interior decorator to do their work on a van instead of a residential home

often times the quality is under more scrutiny due to the close quarters


the rainbow sheik has a van like in ops pic but with star wars art

>>15880381
Similar things happened in Europe though. But the customization culture never developed.

I think its because Americans started to view vans as leisure vehicles.

If van dweller can do it so can you.

>it's hipster libcuck culture

It is, but did you know that the whole van dwelling culture started gaining popularity because of one libertarian blogger girl that lived in VW Van and, a thread on a survivalist forum about an ex cop living out of his Toyota truck with a fiberglass cap.

>>15886254
>libertarian blogger girl
who was that?

>>15879061
That wont happen though because people are listening to music like drake and taylor swift..

That music is essentialy "I drive a brand new corolla, I am a boring as fuck person and okay with that" in music form.

How come the modified van culture came to Australia but not Europe?

>>15884914

The whole being politically correct and vegan has only became a part of lefty culture in the last couple of years since hipster normies have been trying to be edgey and started ruining everything cool.

>>15879044

Negative stigmas from too many homeless living in vans on our neighborhood streets. Now, pretty much no one wants to be seen as spending more time inside their van than necessary.

Let's be real here, you all only started caring about Ram Vans because of the noriyaro video that came out three days ago.

It's no better than RCR fanboys who "love" whatever flavor of the week car he makes a video about.

Precisely. If ya want a party van, leave the outside white and commercial-looking.

The style was originally called a "panel truck" and was very popular in the US for hot rodding and customs. They are inefficient for commercial use compared to box vans so they went away long ago.

Actually Google "liberty van". Bunch of goofballs who supported Ron Paul in 2014 are starting a van movement to escape taxes and high rent.

Depends on who you have do it for you. Probably anywhere from 500-2000 dollars.

On a side note, I'm planning on getting one of these bad boys. Don't think I'm gonna paint a mural on it though.

D vans have been around for a while, the first us article on them was in 2010, who knows how long it has been going on.
