Anyone ever use something like this:

Northern Auto Parts: - DupliColor Car Art Temporary Paint

I'm thinking of a special project for my extra panel set... Thanks.

It sounds like a mess...I'll wait to see how well it works out for you.

There's a demo video here - e/Learning :: Car Art. I think the whole idea is pretty cool. The manufacturer even offers free downloadable stencils - Car Art. - sheureka

Could Be fun to take through a car wash. Come out the other side complaining their wash took off your paint.

Here would be my idea, Find the color closest to your cars color. Lay out some stripes on the car with tape and newspaper for over spray and get a sutle stripe job.

The Free stenciles are a nice touch

I could come up with a weekly car change with this. And if it does do something to your pannels over time, you could just have them changed or repainted properly.

"...apply vehicle graphics from an aerosol can..."

I'm with Jefferios on this one - Sounds like a giant mess waiting to happen!!

Come on Suze, Don't you have some spare panels to practice on?

You are plaining on painting your extra panels, so they are already off. Why not test paint the back side?

i have used that paint on my old ford truck and a couple other cars it is fun stuff. it does wash off just fine need to use soap and soft cloth. use it with a stencil or free hand. it acts just like regular spray paint. to much it drips. and runns. wipe it off is a mess. over spray every where. enjoy

I'll be painting certain panels completely and they won't be on the car, so I don't have to worry about stencils, masking, etc. I'm going to have the whole panel set professionally painted at some point, so even if it doesn't turn out, it won't really matter.

Just wondered if anyone had used it before.
