x-wing car for parade?

joeranger · 07-03-2009, 01:05 PM

I have a beat up white convertible. Anyone done a temporary paint job on a car to make it look like an x-wing?

Put a hefty coat of wax on the car. Paint over it with rattle cans. This should work.

krylon makes a "car art" paint designed just for this purpose.

I'd try crayola washable paints first before a rattle can.

Cut vinyl decals...

Muttley can possibly help you out.

Water or latex based craft paints

More worried about the pattern. I can use buffing compound to get the paint off.
