Maybe consider having them "wrapped"? You could have them made with most colors and designs that way. Might be worth checking out.

If you wanted to do something different, paint or wrap every body panel in a different color. Then get a "sponsor" from a auto salvage company. So that when NHRA asks you about it you tell them you have a sponsor and this is what they required in the deal. All panels strait and glossy and call your car "Patches", put that in big letters across the quarter panels. Then to top it off go out and qualify #1 at a National event!!! Keep up the hard work Artie.

I have a friend who works at Disney World, and that is exactly what he does! He paints rust on new things to make them look old! Jim

You guys are really over thinking this,,,,,, all Art asks is can he use spray cans.
Art,,,,,, Yes you can! Then he asks what cans are best.
Art,,,,,,,metal cans! Just make sure you use all those decals!
