Notts_TT Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 As some may have seen I'm building a showcar for my graphics business and have been hunting about for something wacky to do on my interior and decided I'm going to sharpie my dash face... I've had a play on my mates petrol cap and it came out great... I'm going to paint dash white and then lacquer in the design.... Any thoughts???? Remembering its gonna be a show car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 With the fact that it's a show car I say go for it. The petrol cap looks great. If it was a daily driver I'd be a little worried about that style making it hard to focus on dials or even the road for that matter. I still think it'd look great though.

Josh Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Go for it! I think it'd look pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 The whole dash done like the petrol flap ? yeah that if it was a show car and you had to drive it anywhere at all it wouldnt be a show car for long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Perhaps im a bit old but that just looks a mess to me whether its for show use or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 It would certainly be different. How would you coordinate the rest of the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say the same, good idea, looks nice, but will be such a disaster when comes to driving on the road... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Just reminds me of sticker bombing tbh...looks good if done right and you are selective in the areas done. However, I really don't think a Supra suits that look at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notts_TT Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 It'll be driven to shows only really, for those who have never seen the lambo...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 It'll be driven to shows only really, for those who have never seen the lambo...... yeah but its a lambo... enough said. Mines a show car and i wouldnt graffiti it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 It will be the only one, and if you really do a great job on it, then it will certainly be unique and different. You might even get some business out of it, so give it a go if it's not going to break the bank to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 It'll be driven to shows only really, for those who have never seen the lambo...... even chavs can have rich arab pearents! even the lines of the art work on the lambo have messed up the lines of the lambo its self. its all about what you like and its your choice. you asked for peoples thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 If its only being used as a show car to advertise what your company can do then I would go for it and bring a bit of the westcoast to the UK. See if you can bring some of the weather aswell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'd do it from a business angle, it shows what you can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Its different, and I think I would like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 It'll get old... fast... so I wouldn't recommend it. Sign it though, having it white with a signature and maybe a FEW artistic corners would look nice. Grafitti has been done to death, making a tattoo pattern on the dash would just look a mess IMO.

C_Strike Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Im a fan of the lambo, thats nice for its art, but i dont think id like it on the dash.. Its probably just one of those things and youl find people will actually like how it looks once done.. Worst case scenario, try and if it sucks, buy a new dash.. surely they're not all that much?

j_jza80 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'd do it from a business angle, it shows what you can do. Showcars really aren't my thing, but if that's your business then go for it I'd probably do the spark plug cover too if I were you infact, a fibreglass boot install in a matching pattern would look good.

Si_s Supe Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Instead of the whole dash, why not just do the grey plastics?? Then maybe the spark plug cover as mentioned above. Just my thoughts, personally not my cup of tea but at least it can be returned to OEM easily at a later date in-like if you did the whole dash.
