Protege "Chalkboard" Hood

Yes, it is literally a protege hood that functions as a chalk board.

Inspired by the 1980's BMW art cars, I decided to make this a couple years ago with a spare Protege MP3 I had lying around. I stripped the wax off of the hood, sanded it slightly so the paint would stick, and put on a couple layers of Valspar chalkboard paint. It's a blast to have a constantly changing piece of artwork as the hood of your vehicle. The rain will erase it though...

FREE to a good home
Message me to inquire

EDIT: Would prefer local pickup

I've seen whole rockabilly cars with this paint. It has a cool matte finish in it's own. There is also whiteboard paint out now, I would like to see a car with that

well you could give it a whirl and let us know! It has been forever since i played with chalk so i don't really remember what type of residue it leaves behind if any? who doesn't want a car with a bunch of random faded colors all over the front end!?

Whiteboard paint is cool, we did a 1/2 wall in our daughter's room last summer with it. It is pricey though, all said and done I dropped close to $200 for just whiteboard paint. /end threadjack

I painted my hood last weekend and tomorrow I'm having a bunch of friends draw on it. Most of them have no drawing skills lol but it will be a fun test run. It was very easy to paint my hood and it only took one can. I used two just to make it a bit longer-lasting. Pics when I get a chance.

if this is still available, i live in South Carolina about 4 hours or so from Atlanta. idk how far you are from there but i think local pick up might be an option for me.

Edit: just googled Canton, GA. I go to school in Charlotte right now so from there its 5 hours away!! Let me know if you work out anything with the other guy as i know he had original dibs.

What's wrong with your old hood? I need a hood too. Mine is rusting!
