We talk flooring all the time, but show us your garage graphics.

I have not seen a collection of Viper-related garage graphics in quite awhile (just epoxy vs. Race Deck discussions). Let's see you garage graphics! Here is mine I did before the weather got stupid hot:

It is about four feet wide and is painted right on the wall with Dunn Edwards black interior paint. SRT-8 Cherokee hood in the bottom right - I love that truck! Perfect daily driver pairing with a Viper.

Mark Cooper will be along shortly to issue you your tongue lashing for not posting this in the general Viper forum.

Seriously though, that looks awesome. I have some grand plans for my garage, but nothing to share yet.

BTW, was there a specific motivation not to center it on that wall?

Hey the Sneaky Pete (as opposed to Fangs) is Gen I and II specific so I think I am safe!

I really like that. How do you do it? With some kind of taped on template?

Where my dad works they still have a couple of old-school overhead projectors floating around. He checked one out for me, I posted here on the board looking for a decent version of Sneaky Pete and got one clean enough to print out on an acetate transparency sheet. Normally I would have traced it on the wall in pencil then turned the machine off and taped it but this time I just taped based on the projection on the wall. I did not "seal" paint the tape before the black so I had some bleeding and solved that by going back to touch up with a little white (I had just repainted the white wall so I had perfect touch-up paint). I goofed and had the projector a tiny bit low and got a little keystoning effect making the top of the logo a little wide compared to the lower parts, so I went back in with white and brought the top corners in a bit. Took one long day.

I think I'm going to do this. Where did you get the version of Pete? And what do you mean by "seal" paint the tape? Go over the whole thing first with white?

I just e-mailed you the bmp file of the logo I used. You can also google the Viper logo and get a more traditional version.

Once you put your tape on the wall, if you paint the edges with the background wall color first, that color will bleed under the tape and effectively "seal" the edges so that once you paint your logo color it will not bleed. My suggestion is to make sure you have some exact matchng touch up paint in the basic wall color so you can deal with any emergencies! That is why I repainted the wall first before I started the project.
