Sharpie Trans AM??
What would you all think about that. I know everyone has seen the sharpie Lamborghini Gallardo. What would you think about a sharpie TA in the same style with black C5 deep dishes with a white pin stripe. This is something I am honestly considering. It would take me months after starting and this is not a car I drive often. I think it has potential.

how does the sharpie not fade and look like total crap after a few weeks? I never understood that. Is it clear coated overtop to protect it?
I would never do it to my car, but that Lambo does look pretty cool so if you're considering it, go for it! You can always paint over it if you really don't like it.

They don't use just regular Sharpies, there are "industrial" ones from the Sharpie company that are higher quality and obviously more expensive, and the combination of clear coating helps it not fade.
Btw this has been done on a Trans Am. I'm too lazy and tired right now to find it, but I know I've seen a red Trans Am that's been sharpied. Would be interesting to see one that was like the Gallardo in white.

Not to say you don't want to keep the car that way forever because it would look pretty cool. But couldn't you wrap the car in vinyl and have the artist sharpie over that and then use a clear coat or better yet clear bra over the whole car?
I've also seen a Lotus Elise around my area that has what looks like a sharpie paint job but is really just a wrap pattern over the entire car.
Whatever you do just remember to post pics it sounds pretty cool.

This is a pretty cool idea and gave me an idea. What do you guys think about sharpie-ing something like this onto the hood of my 96 WS6 for a hood bird? This is something my wife drew up and I thought it was pretty badass.

I was only thinking of the bird part (not the flames below it) on the hood as a mural like you said. I don't want to paint the rest of the car, I like it black
