WYHI: Sharpie Gallardo
Look closely: The designs covering this Lamborghini Gallardo is nothing more than an item available at your local supplies store… a Sharpie. Your trusty $0.85 marker garnishing a $190,600 sports car.<!-- smallsquare DISABLED--> I love it.
The car was actually done in sharpie markers on the paint and then finished with a clear coat for protection. It took about 2 weeks total. Prestige (Lamborghini Miami) definitely shocked a lot of people when this car was first seen in California during the Concorso Italiano/Pebble Beach week. It attracted attention good and unfortunately bad everywhere it went.

John Lennon did something similar with his Rolls Royce Phantom V, It was covered in bright colors and psychedelic patterns. Pissed a lot of people off, especially Rolls Royce.

I like how the design extends into the windows. I think it's awesome as a conversation piece, obviously it would suck if everybody did it. It's sad to see people hating on something that's unique and doesn't look half bad. It's not unlike guitarists who draw all over their guitars. I like that he took a risk and didn't do the same old thing.

I would most definitely NOT hit it.
Some people have more money than sense.

I'm gonna have to sneak a picture of the chick that's always working the register at the McDonalds on campus here. She looks JUST like that mexican chick on the right with the sharpie around her lips.

Now, put it on a Ford Focus and now we're talkin....Straight up pimp....

If this car was done in that way, the artwork is done as a publicity stunt and then pulled off just prior to selling it to someone else.
