Hmm, I can see where you were going with it, but car graf paint is REALLY hard to pull off I reckon. Unless it's done really well, with carefully considered lines, colours etc., 9 times out of 10 it'll look shat.

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

I've seen it look really good, there was a team at BugJam a couple of years back painting vans (and charging £150 or summat!) and they were really good. I've also seen it look really appalingly bad, like you've been raided by spraycan-weilding schoolkids on a 'community art' project. Hard to say how yours was going to turn out as the photo is WIP (he says, sitting on the fence!) but I think for it to turn out good, you have to appreciate and work with the lines of the car. The 'good' ones I saw were more pictoral, with large expanses of colour and then more of a 'tag' feel to the text, instead of just being one large word. This however would only likely work on a large flat-sided vehicle. If you want the 'urban' look then how about a few choice stencils? I know we've been there before with the crazy octopus but there's always the possibility of fewer legs than eight!     (these are all from www.duncancumming.co.uk/index.cfm which has some great photos on of all types of graffitti.....) |

Many years ago I changed my driving style to cope with rising fuel prices; I have now reached the stage where I am contemplating keeping my eyes shut in order to lower wind resistance.

A wife like yours? ,mz palmer? or her five sex starved sisters?I think he's to be commended for trying to think out side the box or at appear to joe average that he is at least trying to be himself.

I really like how you obviously love your cars, and you don't let the fact that RWD escorts are scene taxed like a curse word put you off doing your thing and making it your car. Top man and top work ;D P.S .... At least theres loadsa paint on it to protect it |
