The Hangout

Shortcut
Contest: Decorate Ghetto's BASE Beetle!
So I've got this problem. I just picked up a new ride, but it needs a paint job. I need your ideas! Make a quick design in photoshop/paint that I could apply to my new wheels with spraypaint. It can involve anything you want.

No, I will not paint any penises, vaginas, excessive profanity, black people hanging from nooses, or anything otherwise likely to get me arrested, shot at, or carjacked.

The winner of this contest will receive $100 Trillion from my sponsor, Bobby Mugabe.

Your last photo inspired this retro idea
for how you should paint the tires & rims:

Vision Gator

Any of you guys ride these sticks back in the day?
I did, well once I finally convinced my parents
that a
Nash was not a *real* skateboard Cool

You can put this on the doors;it's the budhist sign for the sun. It will compliment the flowers and you'll be popular with the hippie chicks.

Dude, I still have my Vision Gator from 1986, Indy 169 trucks and Sims Snake wheels. Hanging on the wall in the basement.....Smile

That pattern would look pretty cool on the Bug! Sweet ride by the way.

How about just a simple primer coat? Or if you want to stick with a hippie motif you can go with photo # two. Don't forget to add racing stripes! Is the $100 trillion available in stacks of millions and billions?

Also you can print out stencils, cut them out, and paint them onto your car!

It's not mine! But I'll fix that soon enough Wink

I'm leaning towards a combination of racing stripes, spraypainted ghetto flames, an evil smiley face on the hood, and 1061 on the sides like a racing number. I'm not sure if I can paint the tires since I do have to bring this back to the beetle rental place when I'm done.

If you can figure out who Banksy is, get him to do something on it - then you get a cool car, get sub-culture hero status for figuring out who he is (or have they done that already??), plus your car would be worth a whole lot of money as an art piece.

Haha Bansky rocks! Though, I might end up sending out the wrong message if I have an image of two gay policemen making out sprayed on my car.

Re: [Ghetto] Contest: Decorate Ghetto's BASE Beetle!
Or take try something along the lines of what the Top Gear boys did. They put the names of their "sponsors" on the side of their racing beemer - “Larsens Biscuits” and “Peniston Oils” - but when you open the doors you get a different message........see pic Laugh

Yep, and saw the documentary, which
was well done. I recommend it for any
of you skaters, ex-skaters, or anyone
in their 30's who wants a flash back.
