Thanks for the love, guys. Always appreciated. Here's the scoop about that mini truck. My friends at Empire Computers purchased the truck for $500 strictly as a junker to park out on the side of the road to base an A-Frame advertisement for the shop. On Halloween 2007, some kids tagged the truck with metallic blue spray paint. Totally messed it up. They also tried to steal it by drilling out the passenger side lock. Anyway, long story short, rather than shell out the cash to get the truck repainted at a shop, they hired me to re-vamp it and make it a little more eye-catching for half the cost.
The runs on the fender are from the spraypaint. I'm not a pro, I don't paint cars for a living, I'm a graffiti art guy, entirely self taught. If it had been a nice car, I might have taken more care spraying it but this was something quick and dirty and most important, FUN!
I'm painting a delivery van in the next couple days. Same story, some kids tagged it and I'm reaping the benefits. I'll post the photos when it's done.
