OK, i don't even know what the hell to call this for a title so let me explain. Is there a way to take a picture of something and turn it into a .....i guess you'd call it a decal or something that you could put on the hood? I think i saw something like that on monster garage at about 3 in the morning but when i'm really tired, i tend to hallucinate (no joke) so i'm not sure whether or not i saw this, dreamed it, whatever. I listen to Death metal/ Black metal and the cd covers are 100% badass. I wanted to know if i could get a picture from a cd cover put on the hood of my car. Would i have to have it airbrushed? Is this possible? Am i a jackass? If this is possible, how much would it cost? Anyone who wants to know what picture i want on the car, check out "Storm Of The Light's Bane" and "Where Dead Angels Lie", both by a Swedish black metal band called Dissection. Sorry if this sounds stupid but i have to at least give it a shot.

I remember a long time ago I seen a couple of Vans painted in the scheme of wolves, fur interior, very nice gfx on the paint.. However unless you tend to spend upwards of $6000-$10,000 on an entire custom paint job, I can't really see you actually liking this decal. I know for a fact, no matter how much you like something you cant only take so much flaming before you too realise how stupid it is...

Something that detailed needs to be painted on. Depending on how big you want it, the cost will be anywhere from $500 to $4000. You would have to talk to someone who does airbrushing and get them to give you a quote. And trust me on this one if you pick a great artist not one of these guys who just does it on the weekend it will look great. My cousin inlaw my parents van many years ago and it was awsome. At the time he did the van it would have cost about $7000 to do the whole van for us, but since it was a present it was free. Hope this helps.

I work in a sign shop....scotchcal would work, but it looks like crap compared to paint. Depends what you consider "good". yeah, you "can" do it.
I like metal too....and I LOVE that picture....but I agree that would look terrible on your car. If you can't handle the criticism here, then there's NO WAY you should put it on your car, cause it's only gonna get worse. Maybe you came up with idea at 3 am, and you were hallucinating that it "wasn't" 3am, and you thought you had a good idea!!
LOL, Just kidding with ya man.....

NO, see..........the just kidding was my way of saying that even though your idea is ridiculous, I respect your opinion to do what you want....that's why I gave you advice.
I wasn't being hateful, I was pickin' on ya!! HA!
You deserve a fair response to your question. But you can't expect not get picked on. You'd rip on your buddy if he came up with a ridiculous idea!!!!
