Hi All,

Like many people building their cars I'll be driving around in primer for some time before getting spending the money on a real paint job on the car.

I was thinking that the car doesn't need to be boring grey primer till the real paint goes on. A light coat of flat black paint on the car can provide the canvas for a bit of artistic fun.

Stevie Wonder could put a decent coat of flat black paint on a car. There's no particular painting skill needed and it hides all the sins on the bodywork. It's a popular option with the Hot Rod and Rat Rod crowd. With a few different coloured spray cans of flat paint and some masking tape I reckon you could have a lot of fun with your temporary paint scheme. And all for only a little money and o bit of creative effort.

After all it's only temporay and if you don't like it a quick sand and it's gone.

I was sitting there thinking of a couple of schemes this evening and quickly drew one up in MS Paint.

I always like the look of meat balls on the race cars and how the stripes intersect them. Bernie has a great looking meat ball scheme on his car. I thought I'd do one with the meat ball offset to one side for something different.

Any one else got some fun ideas for temporary paint jobs?
