painting a car

Ask an artist to make it into a wacky vehicle. Call Les Blank studios.

Another option is zolotone, the special paint they used to use inside of trunks. Indestructible.

I don't get it. Why would a robot have to stretch it's muscles?

Even I have to stretch my muscles (sometimes).

one of my neighbors was putting detailing sticker type stuff on his car to make it look like a hot wheels car. not that i'm going to fix my own car or anything but i have major scratches on my hood from a canoe that was drug across the roof by that weakling of a best friend that i have. anyway, this sticker type stuff could hide some big and little things if you don't want to paint the whole car.

dale, the orange paint would match you outfit like nobody's business. see if the business will custom color.

I'm going to give this to my daughter to drive in Indianapolis when she move there from Boston. If she could even get a year out of the car, which should be possible--even more than that--it would really help her financially. The paint's not awful. No chipping or peeling. It's just that the roof has that sort of moldy look to it. But, I'll probably hold off on getting it painted.

heck, if I was in spitting distance, I'd do it for ya for the cost of the paint.
I could get an acrylic single step job set up and done over a Saturday for ya.
paintin' cars is fun!

"If the women don't find ya handsome, at least let them find ya handy!"

"If it can't be fixed with duct tape, it can't be fixed"

(I still think the funniest show was when Red tried to make a late 70's Nova in to DeLarian (sp?) by putting a garage door opener on the roof and duct taping the doors to it).

It escapes me why Americans find Red Green so funny. Here, he was compared to Hee-Haw (about as sub-intelligent as you could hope for). What's the draw?

djm - in my case, it's cuz I happen to know a lot of guys just like him.

Of course, I know a lot of guys that also fit all of Jeff Foxworthy's jokes.

Maybe I need to meet some new people........

I wouldn't get it painted. Tons of respectable people have cars that don't look really spiffy. I don't think she would stand out. I am known to be a very cheap person though.
