I'm considering having a friend of mine who is really good at airbrushing paint my car. It would be just over or in front of the front tires. What would I need to do to make sure it will last? Take it to a body shop and have it professionally clearcoated? Also, the design I want is available in vinyl, so that would be an option as well, instead of going with the airbrush (but I think airbrush looks much nicer).

Any options/suggestions you guys have would be very appreciated.

 

vynal you can take off when you sell the car.

airbrush youd need to repaint the car. your choice tho

 

good point..plus, it would probably more cost-effective too. I don't plan on selling the car--I paid cash for it, so I want to have it until it'll no longer drive years from now. I plan on putting it in car shows and racing it on weekends after I find a beater SUV to drive. I'm still kind of undecided. If I wanted to to it RIGHT NOW, I could go the vinyl route--but if I wanted quality, I could go the airbrush route. Maybe I could stick vinyl on for now and see if I like it or not, then switch to airbrush in a few years

Does anyone know if it's hard to get vinyl sticky residue off OEM paint?

 

it can be a pain in the butt to take off, but i think paint would be better long term. if you really want to make it your own,paint it. raven- you know littless, from rme? he has the bowties faided in red on a black car? we have talked about doing a pearl blue bowtie on my silver ss. a lot of work, but damn it will look so good.

 

Yup, I remember littleSS--I freakin loved that car--in fact, I was just telling someone about it yesterday

I think pearl blue bowtie would look amazing on silver!! Good to talk to you again, btw

 

you should come out here next month for the rme cruise.

 

Removing vinyl can be a pain in the rear, but it is definetly doable. You can always hire a sign shop to remove them for you as well.

What kind of design were you looking to do? I could set you up with the vinyl if you are interested.

Let me know.
