I knew it was a joke. (at least I hope so....)

I just had that new graphic and finally found a place to use it.

Interesting technique…

You can use that same mesh stuff to hold your cutting board in place too!

if i had a cheap ricer car..no offense to anyone..but i'd probably do that myself..
if it's riced might as well keep it riced..

but on the other hand..this doesnt seem like a very sure method to do it..doesnt seem like it'll come out all that great..

i do tho..after watching the video..want my own spray gun..looks fun!!

Ive been custom painting cars for 15+ years now, it looks easier then it is.
it is a cool effect if its executed properly though.

Yeah, the video looks a little "slap happy" -- surely you can't just apply a coat, lift the cloth off and lay it back down... without some seriously bad joojoo happening to your "carbon weave" ? Smudge, now children...

I'll +1 you on that!

I don't know how this technique would hold up on cars but I'm gonna use it the next time I make some of those stickers I leave around on public property…
