Get paid to put an ad on my Smart Car?

I have heard that you can get paid to have an advertisement put on your car. I live in Washington DC and I drive a lot! How do I find someone who would want to put an ad on my Fortwo? How does the process work?

Be sure to add in the cost for a new set of panels or paint job when the wrap ruins the finish on your panels

I have heard that the covering protects your car. I would think that if it hurts your car no one would do it and places that wrap cars would go out of business. Plus in the contract I am sure it would state that any damage that may occur to the vehicle due to the wrap would be covered by that wrapping company. I know places that do it and they are very reputable, it's finding the business that wants to put their ad on my car I am having a hard time with.

A few suggestions: Do some footwork, visit businesses you think might be candidates and put the proposal to them. Use the Yellow Pages for ideas. And, of course, if any of your acquaintances are business owners you might have an edge with them. Check businesses which advertise on billboards and bus benches. And, businesses which advertise on those traveling billboard trucks. You're selling advertising. You'll have to decide what your service is worth to them, and whether or not that price is worth it to you to turn your smart into a billboard.

Why not just spray-paint Bud Light or Coke?

Ummm, I think EJSzewczyk was hoping to be paid for it. I wouldn't do it myself ... different strokes though. The smart is a head turner and I can see how it could be used as a moving (small) billboard.
