What should be airbrushed on my car?
 

Help me out GCers, I'm stuck. Here's the deal, my boyfriend does airbrushing for cars and etc. He's going to do my car to basically advertise it a bit more. So, I'm letting him do my "college car" since he's already doing my Jimmy for my dad.

Here's the prob though, I have no idea what I want on it. I'm completely clueless, so I need some suggestions.

The stats: '94 Plymouth Sundance, sunroof, magenta-glittery pink *it's girly :p*, great condition

This is as close as I could get.

What should be airbrushed on your car?! For real?

I'm going to have to say ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is the correct answer to that question. A nice, solid paint job - maybe a thin pinstripe down the sides - is all you need, unless you have a true racing car (meaning, built for the track, not street-legal), and then some stripes/details might be acceptable. But on a Plymouth Sundance - no.

Just my opinion...

"This car should not be airbrushed but my boyfriend airbrushes things and I did it anyway."

Go with an "around the car" wrap kinda look.....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Obviously I haven't seen the work your BF does, but the airbrush jobs I see here are usually just, well, tacky.

Still, when I think of "airbrushing", I can't help but think back to that old Tom Green Show episode where he paints two chicks eating each other out on the hood of his parents' car. The car was named "SLUTMOBILE" and it was indicated in big letters under the rug munchers.

When I think of airbrushing, I can't help but think of those horrible, ugly shirts with unicorns and beaches - mallrats used to wear them in the 80s - or those designs on long, acrylic nails. Tacky does not even begin to describe it.

But, hey, if you INSIST on sacrificing your dignity... definitely go for the Tom Green design!

OK i clicked on this thread because I thought it was a joke.

WOAH!

I just want Rudey to see this. I don't know him, but I have a feeling that only he could have disdain for airbrushing greater than my own.

I'm not being mean to her in particular - I don't even know who she is... hell, I don't even know anyone here.

She asked for opinions and we are giving our opinions - that's all. I may happen to have a very strong opinion on this topic, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be as valid or welcome as anyone else's if you solicit advice.

Ha ha!! Yep, those would be the exact shirts I speak of!

The airbrushing booths at Wal-Mart do KILLER business.

I agree. Guys, Kayla just asked for our input on WHAT to put on the car. If you don't think she should paint the car, then don't reply to this thread! I mean I wouldn't airbrush my car either; but that has nothing to do with what she asked.

Kayla, could you explain more what kind of airbrusing he does? What they look like? That might help us more in letting you know. :)

It's not a personal attack. Just an opinion. People often have opinions that differ from yours. If you don't like them, don't ask them for advice.

I will now exit this thread because it's really not worth my time if people are going to be overly sensitive. It's all just in good fun.

Personally, I think nothing. However, if you must airbrush it, I would do something discreet (like the pinstripes) and NOT personal, so it won't dimish the resale value.

ITs fairly common in young asian american and latino culture.

I don't like it, but to each his own.

Pussy Wagon like in kill bill is pretty catchy . . .

Gladly :) Okay..know the show "Pimp My Ride" on MTV? He does that kind of work, customs for customers. Except, he doesn't prefer to do jobs that tacky...only if the money is right ;) And no, he doesn't do the t-shirt deal...ick.

I'm going to have him do a chameleon paint job (color changes w/how you look at it) w/maybe a small pinstripe, but I haven't decided yet.

James--Pussywagon eh? Nah..I already had to talk him out of putting a shadow of a naked chick on it :p

I gave her advice on what I thought should be airbrushed on the car duder, go back and read my post again.

I also think that your caps lock gets stuck on certain letters so you might want to get that badboy checked out.

The whole shouting via "caps lock" on the internet was so three months ago....at least.

That's exactly what I was going to say! Cool paint jobs are so awesome.

dragons dude, dragons.

I think you should get the names *RUSS, RUDEY & JAMES* airbrushed on your car:D

Haha I was running to the airport I think when you wrote this so I didn't see it. By airbrushing are we talking about unicorns on tshirts kinda airbrushing or like rice-rocket type?

-Rudey

ALWAYS the popular choice!!;)

I would definately go for the chameleon paint job!! Thise are awesome. Though, I think the pinstripe with it might be a little much, since the paint job would be flashy enough. :) But hope this helps!
