Ok folks I need your help here! I'm trying to fins a picture of a garage door the has been painted to look open with a hot rod setting inside with maybe a checkeredboard floor. As most of you know we do custom paint work on motorcycles. We are going to try and break into the interior paint business. I thought I could start with my own garage door. Many thanks in advance to any help on finding a picture to give me some ideas. Also anything cool in a garage on the wall will work. As we do some stuff I will post pics for yall.
If you guys can't find anything then maybe one of yall could open your garage door and back your hot rod in and take a few photos. Thanks
peterson auto museam had this treatment done to the back wall. i want to get somthing like that done in my garage.
First off let me set this straight. I DID NOT PAINT THAT DOOR. It is way out of my area of expertise (I'm still trying to find out exactly what that area is). A good bud who is a retired Art Teacher in Door County Wisconsin did that for me as well as the 2 doors on the garage attached just to the east of this one. He put the Raynor door on an easel on a large dolly and painted it over a 3 month peripod back in 1994. He used DEKA sign enamel which is a water based product. He says he used some one shot also but it set up too fast. The thing I love about it is that he painted it so that if you stand at the end of the driveway it looks like the door is actually open. There is a ton of detail in the door. There are a bunch more pictures here if anyone is interested. http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2997406&uid=1412684&members=1 Thanks for the compliments, I'll p*** them along to Arvid Anderson.
