Talking Fun with Car Art

Decided to have a little fun with Car Art temporary paint. Check it out.








I got the stencil for free from their web site http://www.duplicolor.com/products/carart.html and purchased the paint from an auto parts store. Printed the stencil out on the computers printer, cut it out with a box cutter. Used a little low tack spray adhesive to hold the flimsy pieces. Masked off the surrounding area with low tack masking tape and newspapers.

The spray adhesive left some residue which I removed with "Goo Gone" paper towels and Q tips. Which wont harm the paint. And the Car Art paint will wash off with soap and water or a high pressure washer leaving no residue. But it wont wash off in the rain, it has to be rubbed a little or use a pressure washer. Any overspray can be wiped off with a wet towel.

Last but not least. I got some glow in the dark stars and cut them up for glow in the dark teeth to go with my glow in the dark headlight rings.



After all Halloween is comming up.

Lifes too short not to have a little fun...

With some small L brackets and some double stick tape at first but the tape didn't hold real good so I added some epoxy. If I had a hot glue gun I would have used it. And if I add some smaller ones later I'll buy a hot glue gun now that I know how cheap they are, and the glue gun is how I'll do them along with more small L brackets.

The L brackets keep them standing up straight and gives them plenty of support.
