So thinking about painting my hood and tailgate with chalkboard paint... What do you all think?

 

Put down the

 

Before we even start talking about aesthetics, have you talked to any paint suppliers about paint/primer compatibility? Maybe you should get a scrap door or hood, paint it up, and let it sit three months in the weather before you decide.

 

Hood and tailgate are trash going to replace them anyways so this is just for fun...

Progress: Neil1138's Chalkboard E30 - Bimmerforums - The Ultimate BMW Forum

Check that out... And IDK if I will do black or red.. I do plan to talk to a body shop to find out the best way to do it.

 

my old buddie did it to his truck was kinda fun but you can have only so many dicks drawn on your truck before it kinda stops being funny and becomes a lame hores joke

 

I think you should do it if you think it would be fun. I've painted a few of my rides camo that I didnt want to fix up super nice and some people love it and some say it looks dumb. Do what you think would be cool. And you can get that paint is rattle can form in black. Just take a red scotch bright pad and dawn dish soap and scuff over the are you want to paint while wetting it with water. No need to get super crazy with the sand paper like the other guy did unless you have a lot of chips or clear coat peeling like he did. PM me if you have any paint or prep questions.

 

I understand what you all are saying. I am not planing to let just anyone draw on it without my supervision. And I know a dick will get drawn on it eventually. But it can easily be taken off. This is just temporary and I think it will add some character to the little guy.

 

I think, if you want to try it, why not? It can always be sanded off and re-painted if you want to change. And it would be really cool to get one of those 3-d sidewalk chalk artists to do something on the hood and take pics. Maybe incorporate your truck into the sidewalk art.

 

Yeah that would be cool. I reallylike the idea of changing what the tailgate will say.

 

take into consideration that your going to have to wake up to it every morning...a black hood and tailgate with smeared and dripped chalk from teh morning mist or moisture..... just my .02

 

lol all he'd need is his eraser.

 

My whole truck is painted in chalkboard paint, but I don't let people draw on it..... I will let you know it's a pain in the butt to paint and a lot of paint. That's another reason why I don't let other people draw on it lol

 

I would rather let a graffiti kid go nuts on my hood and tailgate then chalkboard it.

 

I like the ability to change things up.

 

^ I can see all your friends buying chalk and many dick in the near further lol

I know I would draw one when you wernt looking but hey it's fun



ps I forgot about rainbows too

 

Oh i know it will happen but I keep close eyes on my truck. Can always change it if that does happen

 

Yo dawg,

I heard you like trucks so i drew a truck on your truck so you can truck while you truck.

Do it! Have your supplies ordered yet?

 

Waiting on getting the truck first. Have a friend who does paint and he said he would do it for free long as I buy the paint

 

maybe a spare set just for car shows swap em let kiddos draw or people sign em then clearcoat it when i get home hang on the wall get another one for the next show kinda like a memory snapshot
