Garage Painting Done - LotusTalk

lundgren · 11-04-2005, 03:07 PM

I used to have a Corvette Logo on the wall.. but since the Red vette is on it's way out.. and the Elise is on it's way in.. I thought this would work much better.

It's hand painted. I still have a few things to 'clean up' on it, but it's just about finished.

Sweeeeet!
Do you have a pattern?

lundgren · 11-04-2005, 04:06 PM

Nope. I did use a board and a nail to get a perfect circle though.. the rest was by hand.

For the non-painters, I purchased a flag like this off EBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-L...spagenameZWDVW

5'x3', for $25 shipped

It's not, but it really looks like its mounted crooked in the picture...

What a bunch of bull! The thead says the painting is done but the post says its almost done. Which is it?

JK!!!

Looks cool. Makes me want to do the same!

def, that would look really great if it could be stretched out, or dry mounted, framed, etc. Is it pretty lightweight material?

Troy, did you get this from some chinese guy on ebay? I've emailed him several times asking questions but no response. He has these on sale for 0.99 with 28 dollar shipping fee. Did it come with the light source as well? Or is it just the acrylic plate?

def · 11-05-2005, 01:39 PM

Its durable, but yet thin nylon. When I first got it I thought it was almost too thin of nylon...you can almost even see through it a little... but hanging it against a wall, you can't even tell. It's still very rugged though, definitely quality for hanging on a wall

Troy_Audio · 11-09-2005, 10:55 PM

Sorry man didnt see your reply to my post but Yes thats the 1..
I paid $6.00 & s/h $28.00
It looks good the light was flickering so I fixed it..
But over all its cool..
Here it is with a few test pix from my bro's printer..
Peace Troy
