So I have a bit of spare cash thats burning a hole in my pocket... Think its time to primer my car. But I also want to do something weird... I'm going to put a batman symbol on the doors.

My plan... Bondo the rear driver side quarter panel because its dented a bit and I dont want to take the time to straiten the metal anymore... And bondo a bit above the DS tail light because when anonymous a*****e hit me, it dented in and the metal cracked in a few small places when pulling it out...

and then, I'm going to spray the whole car black primer with rattlecan because I dont have proper equipment or money to buy/rent proper equipment and this is just for fun....

AND THEN, I'm going to have my bro cut me out a batman symbol template to paint a batman symbol on the doors... Why? Because if people can throw 30" wheels on their 84 oldsmobile and paint it to look like McDonalds, John deer, the lakers, ect... I should be able to rock a batman symbol...at least for a bit...


What it looks like now (black front end, green/blue color changing body and white rear bumper)


The batman symbol I'm leaning towards...

Sounds like a plan. I like it. When the show "Dukes of Hazzard" was on TV, I painted the rebel flag on the whole hood of an old white Dodge I had. When my wife drove it she said a lot of truck drivers would blow their air horns and wave.

One thing I've learned from doing our little Tea Party, flash mob, street corner flag/sign waving honk your horn for justice thingies is that there's people out there looking for any excuse to blow their horn. I call it the Gabriel complex. I suspect some of them rush home just so they can come back by and blow the locomotive horn they just installed along with the requisite hopped up alternator. But I gotta admit, it gets the blood flowing. Had an 18 wheeler once I thought was giving birth to the Queen Mary. Thumbs up all around.

BTW, FYI, these little events are especially cool due to one feature you don't have on a TFS site or such like; the fasocialists don't have the option of their usual brain-dead negative comeback for the horns. All they got is their limp old middle finger. Life is good.

I don't thing that you should use corrugated cardboard. There is no way that you could keep it flat against the door. Or is that a template to be transferred to some sort of plastic?

Hey Hoppy, your siggy, " 'Obama is a magic man, he makes businesses, homes, and jobs ALL disappear.' -Jodi Miller", brought to mind the song Magic Man by Heart, being it's about the satanic Charles Manson and all.....perfect. Yeah I know it's supposed to be a debunked legend, but it's still out there, so if the shoe fits, take a hike.
