Pimp my Ride: Pontiac Grand Am

Seeing as how my whole art life is turning a new corner for the new year and I will be able to return back to doing those projects I’d otherwise be unable to do due to actual art-as-work…I am now planning once again to custom paint my Pontiac Grand Am, which currently is a limited edition color of gulf blue metallic.

My question is…has anyone ever tried automotive paint with a brush besides pin-striping? I prefer to brush-paint my car for details…then probably see about getting an automotive airbrush sprayer for the rest…want to create a nice fade effect on the sides.

I haven’t, but I’d like to know what kind of design you’ll put on the car!

My hubby is terribly afraid I am going to ruin my car. Lol, I guess I’ll start by going to the old car scrap lot and asking for a pontiac grand am hood to practice on first. That way if it turns out good I can replace it with my current hood.

That’s a good idea.

Oh that sounds like fun. Take pics of it when you are done.
