special paint job on PUP

[ScouterMom]

I would be interested in seeing or hearing of ideas for neat paint jobs on PUPs.....

I forgot that we have talent in the family - my boyfriend's son-in-law does custom airbrushing for cars and trucks, has painted loads of race cars, and is quite an artist. He has offered to paint a scene on my camper - anything I want! how cool is that?

We will have to do the prep work - clean it, tape off utility covers and trim, etc and probably a do a plain base coat first. (which we would plan on doing anyway - as after cleaning it up, I have discovered that what i thought was 'dirt' on the roof is actually the silver-grey of bare aluminum!) The paint has worn off most of the roof, and on other parts, esp those with lots of sun exposure.

It's a 1973 starcraft, with a 'wood look' strip of aluminum down the center, cream colored sidewalls, and a white roof -though I am not attached to the color scheme, I'd like to keep some kind of 'starcraft' logo on it, but otherwise I am open to suggestions & ideas. My TV ( a chevy astro) is white - so no limitations or color schemes to work with there.

I'm thinking of some kind of camping picture - maybe include our golden retriever (a constant camping buddy) possibly relating to boy scouting, and canoeing, which are also strong interestes of mine.

If anyone has any photos of links to share that might make a good base idea for me, please share....

if someone volunteered to paint your PUP anyway you wanted, what would YOU want?

Before reading this, that's the kind of thing I was thinking of.

Make mine the rocky coast of Maine, with waves breaking along the rocks, and maybe a lighthouse in one rear corner (with a red light, of course ).

that sounds cool!

I think a woodsy scene would look great!

That does sound really cool.   Makes me think of someone (several someones?) canoeing on a lake with the dog sitting by the campfire waiting for them to come back ....

I'm not sure, but I do know what my kids would say ... make it look like a big ole Hershey bar!    (they don't understand copyrights yet   )

My 6 y/o DS thinks flames would look cool.
