backyard paint job

[xjskaguy]

the ol'gal needed a paint job so got a little creative. (sorry for big images)

before (after a bath)

During: was going to do black and white again but started with bad paint, damn duplicolor so went to rustoleum since my imagination grew.

new direction - during

little graphic - going to do some more

more to come, slow drying.

feedback on the direction (the roof and trim are rustoluem bed liner like in the second pic)

Good Jobbbbbbb!!!!!!!

 

[xjskaguy]

Thanks...yeah its just a few cans of spray paint and some hand drawn stencils (some from scratch and some copied)

 

[thechief86]

off topic: xjskaguy- does that mean you like xj's and ska music? cuz i do too was in a couple ska bands in high school and the first couple semesters of college

 

[xjskaguy]

why yes, yes i do like xj's and ska!

I wish i would have found ska along time ago before i stopped playing the trombone after middle school band, maybe i would have actually tried to learn to play it haha.

 

[thechief86]

ha, i got really good with a trombone, and then some arse-hat stole it out of my cj. i haven't even touched one since then. i like ska more than punk, but they seem to share record labels a lot, so you get a little of both. lots of great bands out there, for sheezy:music:

Ever listen to any of The Specials, Madness and that sort of stuff?

Haha! I do! I love them!

 

[Jasper911]

And you've got good taste in cars too!

Here's mine, hope the photo link works.

 

[xjskaguy]

the specials and madness are good but my top bands would have to be:

the toasters,streetlight manifesto, catch 22, Aquabats, lucky boys confusion, reel big fish, spunge, and many more.

 

[xjskaguy]

yeah ncjeepgirl sounds like my type...jeeps and ska.....love it haha

More as promised...

new door graphic (hand drawn and stenciled)

so the driver side is basically done.

the hood needs some touch up but i think its looking BA. If you are a fan of heroes you might recognize the pic. used the project and some free hand to make it. but again needs touching up.
