I haven't read it but I'm assuming he clear-coated it when finished.

If you've ever used a sharpie, you'd know it's permanent

well, technically, from the article:

The art is being protected via five-or-so layers of wax. I have contacted Sharpie and the paint is oil-based and UV resistant already so the art can be washed with mild detergent. Since I do not daily drive the car, she spends most of her time under a cover in a carport so I am not too worried about sun fading. I do carry a Sharpie in the glove box for quick emergency touch-ups.

nothing a little EtOH can't take care of.

Its... uhh.... in the article. Do people not actually READ the shit ever or just look at the pretty pictures??

What a waste of a nice car. (I'm talking about drawing on it, not the vandalism part)

I was interested in the pictures but not in the process of making them, anything wrong with that?

yeah, God forbid you have a one of a kind 330ci...

While the art probably looks cool (to some, not me), the car looks absolutely stupid now.

"I hope you enjoy these pictures because less than an hour after shooting them, my wife and I went to dinner to celebrate. After making it home from dinner, I noticed what would bring most men to their knees. Some lowlife decided to see if anything interesting was residing in my trunk for him to take. He did this by making peepholes the size of my thumb with a claw hammer or similar object in the top of my trunk. When he could not see through said holes, he proceed to remove my emblem, m3 lip spoiler, and trunk handle with his "tool". In the process of creating his window into my trunk, he drug his "tool" across my art, destroying it. Police reports have been filed and insurance claims have been made and life as we know it will move on. Now three days later I am able to say that things happen for a reason, and I will take this chance to further my ideas and vision of what I want my car to be."


I think the design looks rather ugly on the car. I think on a car you'd want to be more precise with a design style like this that's obviously trying to be precise.

I can't remember where I saw this but it is simply awesome. I wonder how long it took him.

I think it looks good. It reminds me of the ornate art deco saxophone engravings from the 30s. It's a shame some dickhead had to screw it up for him.

That's pretty hip. It says it only took him 2 weeks. That seems kind of fast to me.

It seems people don't read the article. "Being my greatest fan and also greatest critic, her support kept me going through the 12 hour project."

Ugly.

It looks pretty good, but there's a lot more potential to get it looking better.

Just look at the "squares" on the bottom of the trunk leading up to the signature for example.

Now that's well executed.

He drew that one also.

The BMW is his, though. The Lambo was someone elses.

See, I like the squares. Totally art deco :^)
