I figured I'd do a little progress build on the new paint job for my car. I'm taking a cue from the IS350 that was graffiti bombed. I used 36 cans of ironlak paint, and got 2 artists to do the work (AOK and BuriedColors). I also got an AIT AC replica front bumper.
The wheels are my winter rims, and not the ones that will be on the car.
The day before it went in (sanded):
Getting started:
Almost done on one side:
The other side (just finished today):
Detail work:
That's it for now. I still have to get the hood, trunk, and roof done.
I know it's not for everyone, but it's something that stands out and I'd rather the car be a piece of rolling art than just a copy of something I've seen elsewhere.
thats not that bad actually as long as its like a show car and not a daily ricer
Yeah, definitely not a daily driver. I plan on doing a few shoots and events with the car. Plus, the car didn't cost me much and I can always change the design if I want later down the line.
Wow! Looks pretty wild! Was there a specific theme to the car? Or did you just tell the guys to have at it?
I told them to do whatever they want, just no words (other than a signature). I don't want anyone else tagging my car. You can see a distinct difference between artistic styles, and that's what I wanted.

Ever seen an SC300 with 36 colors?
