In all fairness though, they cheated...

They had the car taped up already.

Looks like they drank a CASE of Red Bull apeice before they began as well...

Well was it just me... sheesh I watched over 5 minutes of painting & only got to see the finished paint job for a split second before the last 30 or so seconds of the video was blacked out. Would love to see the finished product

Bring Fiona on over. We can beat that record easy. You want the roller or the foam brush?

Rattlecan Revolution! ...set to "The Self Preservation Society". Man, now I gotta dig out the original "Italian Job" and watch it again.

I've read about folks that have done a full car flag like that - seems like going with blue and laying red / white vinyl over it would be the easiest! I'd love to do it to one of my Minis, but i'd be afraid to drive it anywhere, so it'd kinda defeat the purpose. :(

Go for it. I'm sure you could do better with a roller than they did with the spray cans

I'm surprised they didn't get out a hair dryer to simulate a bake cycle This almost makes me rethink my business. After all if I can eliminate respirator maintenance, training, medical evaluations, EPA permits, VOC reporting, sealed air cabins, chemical waste removal, etc. my margins would improve to where I could afford to buy a Classic and restore it properly

Hehehe... nah. Something tells me that YOUR paint job would last longer than the next hard rainstorm...
