care to elaborate on the process or do you have a link/website to "the guy with the BMW"?

its a unique idea that i have never heard of and i'm just curious as the the level of pre-work, actually painting everything with a sharpie (talk about tedious), and after-care....etc etc

 

Sorry to be so vague.

Here is the link to "guy with BMW" lol. I would use his username but I can't ever remember it.

The pen is actually a paint pen, not a sharpie, per say. We washed the hood with Dawn and then went to town. It's held up through the rain so far without incident. I have an appointment to have it cleared on Monday, but hopefully the trunk will be done by then so I can have both done.

 

awesome!

and that BMW is absolutely beautiful....

again congrats on a hot-lookin hood and can't wait to see it complete

 

Thanks man.


I'm starting to get worried about protecting it correctly. I think we're gonna have a problem with the clear coat coming off once it gets sprayed because the hood wasn't prepped for it when we painted it. I'm kinda leaning towards giving the artist the hood and getting the Rksport hood right now, as sad as that is. I love the artwork and I want to keep it on my car, but I can't find a good way to protect it. Wax brings the art off.

 

i think it looks great. something difforent for once.

 

looks like it was done with a sharpie...... oh wait it was... that would be cool in paint. that way it would look cleaner. or at least a vinyl graphic

 

its a g5 not a balt...

cant read?

 

fixed...and my apologies

 

it was done with a paint pen., it looks like it was done in sharpie. butt hurt are we?

 

Very nice. As said above, do the roof and trunk and your set. Could even do a thinner version along the side (like about 1/4-1/3 width of whats on the hood). But yea, looks good man.

 

diff. but good.

 

no. not in the least. just pointing out that its a paint pen..not a sharpie...which if u had read...u would have known...but thats ok..

 

i did read and made my comment. looks like it was, people will think it was. end of story. it looks good just quality looks missed

 

I have the trunk in my living room right now! and his car is going to look soooo sick with the rksport kit. We should have more pics with the trunk later this week!

 

Its a first i seen done to a G5 and im a fan of art so itlooks awsome
the trunk will come out just as good
keep the us up on photo updates

LOVE IT! Looks amazing!

 

You would Tom!
Looks damn good. Would love to see pics of the roof and trunk when done
Just noticed the blacked out emblem. Nice touch

 

haha...this is cool to see. the guy with the b.m.w. is travis. he lives out here. he had the trunk done but some jackass mest it up bad. the car is gone now. it was in a magazine too. im going to let him know about this so he can see it.

 

its unique i like it.

 

i cant wait until this is the new "omg look at my painted hood i did myself" trend. its going to provide me with lots of lol's.

yours looks really good though. good work.

 

We talked to him personally about what paint to use and about protecting issues. He was supervisor on this.

Thank you sir.

I've already had people ask me if they can do this to their car too. Makes me sad.

Oh and the trunk is done now too. Possibly doing the roof tomorrow if my friend is down to do it.

 

why not do the spoiler to

 

Because it extends into the rear quarter panels, and I think it provides a nice break in the artwork.

 

still love it.
