Sharpie Art. I wanna tag up my hood - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

payne219 · 11-06-2009, 12:53 PM

Ok so Ive been tossing the idea around for a while now.
I want to create a dope ass hood, fully custom drawn using a sharpie marker.

It has been done professionally on some high dollar exotic cars ( Sharpie Lambo, Im sure some of you have seen)

I currently have a black bmw e30 and I want to use a white sharpie to create such designs like the picture below. I am also considering vinyl covering my hood white and then starting the drawings.

Im pretty good at free hand work and I draw things quite often.

Does anyone have something like this? I don't know why but it just looks so badass

Post up ideas/ pics

TougeLove · 11-06-2009, 12:55 PM

+1 for the vinyl idea. we painted a friends car for fun and it turned out like crap with good artist.

maybe buy a junk yard hood and practice? drawing on a car is different, dont know why but it felt different and didnt apply as well as i thought. good luck

follow the body lines!!! it will make or break the drawing as a whole.

shanes14 · 11-06-2009, 12:56 PM

that stuff is badass. i always wanted to do something like this on the panel under my tail lights.

payne219 · 11-06-2009, 12:58 PM

What about sharpie the car and then take the hood off and clear coat the shit. so its permanent... Would that even work?

azndoc · 11-06-2009, 01:00 PM

Do it on vinyl and see how it turns out.

I think drawing on just the surface of the car wouldn't turn out as well.

I drew on my friend's car with a sharpie and it was kinda whateves, he ended up just spraying brakecleaner on it and it came right off.

Mind you the car was going to go get painted. So I'm not recommending you spraying brake cleaner on your paint.

Razi · 11-06-2009, 01:01 PM

It might, there is a picture of a lambo that got art done like that with a sharpie, and he had it clearcoated.

Who knows if it'll last a long time though.

TougeLove · 11-06-2009, 01:03 PM

sharpie fades quick in the sun if im not mistaken. clear coat would be mandatory.

85turbosupra · 11-06-2009, 01:03 PM

a satin or even flat white base coat will give you the best surface to draw on with a black sharpie.
Get ur sharpie work on and let it set indoors, out of the weather for a week or so, then a clear should be able to be applied to seal it in better.

payne219 · 11-06-2009, 01:05 PM

Check it tho... The guys straight up drawing on the hood. How the hell do you preserve this. I mean sharpie is only permanent for a while.

**ThatGuy** · 11-06-2009, 01:05 PM

Sharpie will fade, even when clear coated.

I had my hood signed by someone, then immediately cleared over it. You can barely read it now.

payne219 · 11-06-2009, 01:25 PM

I think this is too much... Still cool to look at tho.
Does anyone know if there is another marker of some sort that would hold up better than sharpie?

That is definitely not a Sharpie.

murda-c · 11-06-2009, 01:33 PM

I remember drawing designs on peoples jansports and sneakers back in middle-high school.

Man I wish I had stuck with art.

*Drift N Dragg* · 11-06-2009, 01:35 PM

Maybe Paint Marker? We use Paint Marker's up here at Fort Irwin, and In the summer under direct light for more then 4 months at a time, they do not fade... is on Metal Banding...and it gets hot as Hell there... Wind, and other extremes in temp...

try deco paint pens. you can get them at micheals arts and crafts or jo annes has them i think
i used to use them for an art class and IMO they are the best paint pens.
as long as you shake it every now and then the ink flow will stay consistent.. unlike other paint pens i have tried IE: elmers paint pens.

i think there are some paint pens out there made for outdoor use.. they aree called woodys or something ill try and find some info on them for you

payne219 · 11-06-2009, 01:51 PM

^ thanks man. Ive been searching and have found nothing lol. Then again i dont know much about paint pens.

What I found:

Quote:

It all began on a Saturday afternoon after pulling the hood off of the car and propping it up in the living room. After prepping the paint with denatured alcohol, I used an oil-based Sharpie brand paint marker and just started drawing. I had no plan , no stencil , or predrawing of any kind. Believe it or not, I only went through one and a half markers for the entire project....

The art is being protected via five-or-so layers of wax. I have contacted Sharpie and the paint is oil-based and UV resistant already so the art can be washed with mild detergent. Since I do not daily drive the car, she spends most of her time under a cover in a carport so I am not too worried about sun fading. I do carry a Sharpie in the glove box for quick emergency touch-ups.

...this is the guy with the BMW Hood/trunk done.

JEDIs13 · 11-06-2009, 02:22 PM

if i were to try and i do this
these would be my weapons of choice

they have the broad, fine, and extra fine.
clear it after or wax it like it says above^ and you should have no problems

Would look better not on an automobile.

What is up with BMW owners doing goofy things to their cars lately?

Dirty Habit · 11-06-2009, 03:06 PM

Japanese rice.

German......sausage?

Sauerkraut?

What would you call it?

payne219 · 11-06-2009, 04:08 PM

Sharpie Pant pen is a win.

Apparently it dosnt have that purple shine to it like a regular sharpie does when you look at it in different light.

People with Euro cars are weird. Im trying to get a huge JDM bubble knob into my BMW

along with my assortment of drift stickers.. FTW

cleantune · 11-06-2009, 04:15 PM

Art looks good. Maybe they did it with a marker that was temporary on purpose? I dunno. Definitely a cool idea though IMO
You could probably use those touch up paint pens to do this too

BMW's are the new 240's.

Also, I would rather have a classy solid color Lamborghini (but none of those lime green or satin eyesores marketed towards celebrities and rappers).
