I want to get a couple decals made
clear backing so you can see the paint color for the background
and maybe even clear coat over it?

I only want to get a couple made and I want to add F250, XLT to the banner, and no I did not draw this, found it on line for old war bird art
Thanks...Rick

this would be a custom piece, so not sure how "cheap" it would be. Try a local sign shop that does vinyl graphics, or there are plenty online. The cheapest way to make this would be in one color outline form, but you would lose some detail and you won't get the shadows. The other way is to print the graphic onto clear vinyl. Like I said, this would be a custom piece, so there is usually some kind of set up fee to get it done, and then a per item charge depending on the size you want. I had a small sign shop but no longer have the equipment, or I could have helped out....

they have a kid learning to air brush and he is going to try a practice run and see if he can do it

I wouldn't let anyone close to my truck with an airbrush if they are learning......I would go with the decal, if you ever get tired of it, it's easy to remove

that is true, about being able to remove it
as far as the young dude goes, I have no problem hepling him learn
if he screwed up I can fix it easily
this is a low budget type of job I am trying to pull off

If the kid does a good job on the decal you might have him do a copy on your tailgate ...

If you have a place near you that makes hat with logos for companies or Teeshirts with stencils they can print what you are looking for and then the computer tells a machine to cut it out of the stick um,the time to get it drawn in the computer is the killer and if the shop will have the time to play with it, if your not in a hurry, and best not to be, then the shop can do it at there leisure. I have a place here in my home town that dose that kind of work, so if you don't find one at home I might print it out and see if T&L Vinyls can do it.

I had Fast Signs do a custom Triton V10 sticker for me and they did a great job and the price wasn't too bad for the size. I looked up shops close to you according to your location listed in your profile and this is the one that came up closest:
