i own a black cobalt ss 2010 model and im thinking of doing an OBEY theme on it, i got a couple pictures i really like and was wondering if anyone here knows of a great graphics shop that does good custom work. i dunno if i wanna do color or just a black and white thing. personally i think these would look awesome on a red car but i dunno id really like your opinions




and on the inside im thinking have a few randomly placed OBEY things, like painting it on my shift knob or something

what do you guys think?

 

I'm not too sure about the placement of them or shops around you who could do them. I have a local shop that's great with custom vinyl graphics. Me personally the only vinyl I've ever had on my car were the fender stripes but those have since come off.

If you really like them and want them I say call a few shops and get a quote then go for it. But good luck getting people on your side. A lot of people here think graphics are rice so.

 

if that's your thing, run with it

 

actually now that i did a mock up it does make it look kind of ricey... i want my car to look cooler but i dunno where to start

 

please don't do any vinyl, but what kind of car do you have? i mean you could tint the windows, de-badge the trunk, paint the front chevy emblem, tint the tail lights, do front "evo" mod if you have a SS, do a shorty antenna.. it all depends what you want and what your definition of "cooler" is

i'll just throw this in here too.... https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/appe...ds-list-83017/

 

i kinda hacked these together with paint you think some lines or something would even it out? which one looks better iyo?
thanks

 

no offense but i really, really, really hope you're joking. personally if you do that you are going to get laughed at more times than you'll be able to count. i've seen cobalts with vinyl and i've been one of those guys that laughs, if they're tasteful graphics that's one thing but you're trying to put a picture of a girl with a gun on the side of your car that has no other mods done... just dont do it

 

heres what im working with, i like the blacked out tailight/headlight idea but how much does it reduce the visibility? is it legal? i live in georgia btw. thanks for the suggestions

 

poor balt

 

wha whats wrong with it?

 

do you think whiteout/nail polish and then clearcoat would hold up? i was reading about vinyl and i dont think i want it on my car but i have no experience painting cars

 

 

i take by the winky face it might work but do i need to rough up the clearcoat before application? can i just clearcoat over the clearcoat if its well cleaned and alcoholed?

thanks for looking

 

I hope your trollin. Nail polish does not belong on a car. Nor white out

 

you just want to get a when he does this and starts to strip the paint off his car haha

 

no i just paid my car off i love it and im keeping it forever and will give to my children (when i have some, hopefully a boy) so im not worried about trade-in value and ill be retired and driving a '69 stingray with a big block and it will be most awesome. but the question is will it hold up after clearcoat if you dont mind me asking? im trying to borrow off experience as my automotive experience is very limited. ive seen guys do great things with brush paint (house stuff) would i have to go panel by panel and fully strip or could i "add" it to the existing color

 

i just don't understand your thinking... maybe it's because i'm an engineer but so you want to do something now so when your kids have it they will be laughed at? personally it looks fine the way it is so just leave it

 

i think it would look cool with the whole car done up that way i just wanted something kinda original after seeing the sweet stuff the sharpie guy did to his cars id really like to do something to spruce mine up on the outside and make it my own i guess. the whiteout may be a bit ridiculous but like a model paint set maybe?

 

obviously i'm no help here so i'm done, do what you want

 

i appreciate the time for lookin, i think ima head over to youtube and try to dig up some videos of do-it-yourself custom paintjobs

 

Look man use your head, IF you put white out all over your car it's going to look like some jizzed all over it.
If you want to **** around with some non permanent graphics then make some stencils and plasti dip them

 

yea it was kinda dumb to say white out, i guess i was stuck on the office supplies thing after reading the sharpie post lol. but i was asking if brush paint would work ok? like a high quality model car paint+clearcoat

thanks

p.s. maybe i was going for the jizzed car look?

 

Dont use model paint man, I'm telling you make stencils and plasti dip them. You can peel plasti dip off, which is what you will be doing as soon as you see how fucked your car looks
