TLK Car

[unregistered user]

My dad came and asked me last week if I wanted to paint a TLK picture on our car!! *crazy* We got about five cars (cars is the only thing he's thinking of), one from 1950 that is light blue, and I'm supposed to paint lions on it! Just because I'm reading about art in school and paint all the days, I can't paint that on a car, what is he thinking? And TLK! He want to drive around with an OLD car there's only 5 more of in this stupied country, with a TLK PICTURE on? What dou you think about that?
Am I going to paint a picture? On the door? Where? WHO?!
I already have done TLK figures in glass (you know you can paint with something that looks like glass when it's finished) and we got them in the front window.... But HELLO, I'm kind of hysteric here!
But you really think I should paint it? I'm not kiddin'! *going all crazy*

You should take your dad up on the offer to paint one of the cars. Any Lion King-ness is a good thing! Don't be worried it will look cheesy. I know when I see a car that is creatively designed my head turns (in a good way ).

oh...well, I did understand so much, thank you

I'd like to paint something on the door or whatever ... But, is that really a good idea? It'll look okey, I've already sold many of my TLK pictures, but that's with a pencil ... That's just something else, I bet it will be harder to paint on the car.
But whatevere, what should I paint then? And where?

(still can't belive he's actually letting me do this!*

Whoa, cool. We have only one car between the 4 of us in the family and they'd never let me paint anything on the car we have now. My grandad used to have a 1960's Ford Anglia Deluxe which he just got shut earlier this year. This is cool though, too bad we only have one car which is the family car, heh.

cool, we got a 1950's Ford Something... Zephyr I think they spell it... Light blue....Just imagine that, LIGHT BLUE.... a little ockra yellow on that and then some lions, maybe an accacia tree, a little red warthog... I'll make it look like an artwork on wheel or even the swedish flag. I think I think I even will write The LionKing somewhere
Lucky we only use it on the summers and the other cars on the winter. We're like 9 people on 5 cars, one is my own and then my sisters got one there selfes, but my dad still own 3 cars that is his.

Well ... The people will not think anything about a hysterical TLK-fan owning that car

My grandad's car was light blue and white. Good thing to paint on. He sold it to someone down South in Brighton though.

Sweet! A rare 1950s car, and a chance to decorate it... If you can make it look good, go for it! Maybe you can even take it to car shows...

I love old cars, especially the 1950s, with the huge fins.

It sounds like a really kool idea you should do it...but where to put a design...I don't know I'm affraid...where ever you do, do it I'm sure its going to look very koolsem

[W-Eyed-Wanderer]

Wow that sounds fun...you should go further than just a couple of little pictures, do the whole thing up with Pride Rock and the jungle and everything! hehe

Take it on tours around the country and show it off....if you drive it past the Disney offices enough times they might notice and give you free Lion King stuff. Oh wait...this is Disney we're talking about...they'd probably sue you.

Make sure you keep us updated with photos anyway!

=)

This is a great chance for you, so go on and take it. The thread caught my attention when you said your father would let you do this, but what really caught my eye was the car. A 50's Lincoln Zephyr, that's just awesome. But yeah take up this opportunity to show your talent, not only to yourself (since this would be your first time), but to the world. And if you do take this chance, go on farther than the door, that's a big car, and something just on the door might make it look a little incomplete, but tht's just my opinion.

[TakaTiger]

DO IT!

[Azerane]

Wow!! That is awesome!! Go for it!! I'm not sure what you could paint, there are so many options!!!

I saw a car in germany, the whole thing was painted in jungle theme and there was a leopard of something on the side, I will see if I can find the photo I took of it!

EDIT: Woohoo, I found the pic

[unregistered user]

Okey, thank you everyone (I'm still open for things)
It looks like everyone want me to do this, but myself...I'm kind of nervous it will go wrong even if I'm VERY sure how to paint everything!
By the way, I didn't know the Zephyr was that rare in other countrys too! Well.... I just need to think what to paint then ... The hole PrideLand would be awesome I think I'll put Pride Rock on the left front door.... Jeez, I still think my dad is crazy

[Simba_TLK]

well if your happy with doing it, then why not
i think it would look pretty good

i remember a while ago they had some TLK Nascars
they looked pretty nice

[W-Eyed-Wanderer]

Ahh....I remember when they had TLK everything...*ahem* anyway this is hardly the time to get sentimental. lol :-)

That jungle car looks great, shame the car itself doesnt look too healthy!

I think the main thing is to just make sure you plan everything well, e.g. using the right paints etc....if you do that theres much less chance of anything going wrong! You could have all the animals going to Pride Rock along one of the sides...anyway this is your project not mine... hehe

This sounds like a good opportunity to me! You might discover that you have some serious talent when it comes to doing art on things other than paper

I'd like to be able to give advice on what exactly you could put on the car, but i have no artistic talent at all, so i have no idea

I'm sure it'll work out fine though. You might worry about it a lot, but worrying will mean you are really careful, so you most likely wouldn't make any serious mistakes

That TLK Nascar looks cool too! I never knew about that!

[Fyxx]

Wow! You should defenatly do it. I do like the whole Pridelands idea. hehe..to finish it off you should have a little Zazu antenna topper or something...which might be hard to find... Or just take a little pvc Zazu and drill a hole in his behind and Volia! Hmmm... *eyes her Blazer in the parking lot* ^^ If you do decide to do this...ya gotta show us pictures. =)

[Wolfman Jack]

I wouldn't exactly say a Zephyr is rare here, but ones in good shape bring a bit of money. As for paint, the type really doesn't matter, just as long as you have a clearcoat put over it. You may also have to sand the panel down to do it, or atleast rough the surface up to get the paint to stay. None of that is very hard to do, but the clearcoat will have to be done at a body shop, unless you known somebody that can do it for you.

I like that idea with a Zazu antenna. I can take one of my figures and put on there...! Hope dad likes it too^^
