Right you lot!
The Bay has been in the garage for ages
10 months
Coming-out;dec/jan at the latest!
Spent all my money!
The bottom 12" replaced all round
And It's zink sprayed!
There's no way it's going to a spray
Shop, before I have some fun!

Thinking graffiti?

?????

As long as you've got a good artist doing it then go for it!
There's an american dude on this forum who's got a super slammed westy that's graffiti'd up that looks the nuts.

Hi,

That sounds like a cool idea, i like the idea of graffiti. You mean Louis bus:

Or maybe a DIY roller job, Rustoleum T25 anyone?

I still fancy the idea of wood effect side panels and wood trim on the outside, like the 70's Jeep Wagoneer, I think this rocks:

:msn4: I'll get me coat......

Cheers,

You could :-

Go to a local school (age range dependent on the effect you "MAY" like) and ask them to all paint a little area of the bus with something.

OR

Like having a broken leg in plaster get your friends/colleagues to sign it.

OR

Find Banksy :msn4:

I agree with Alistair ... check this Early Bay out on the Bonneville salt flats

I like the school idea was going to do that with my'n (changed mind) or wife made me. Take it some A level art students show them some cool 60s stuff and see what happens

Take a look at the BMW art cars:

Must admit that the bus looks better rolling at speed than sitting still ... the "wood" frames need some depth
