I agree. Cars are rounded metal with rubber on the bottom.

Nothing is projected on the car. We’r printing on vinyl which will be carefully glued to the car. The first car to be ‘waapepd’ will be my Volvo and its image will appear here in a few weeks. Then somebody at a German company wants to discuss more than 100 cars, so we’ll see. I’m not sure what will happen, but it won’t be harder than selling paper prints to an Epson-saturated photo market. Now I have 250 million sort-of competitors with iPhones but an iPhone shot on a car looks like crap.

As the Zen master says, “We’ll see."

Well thank you!

In my first email today I deleted a remark in which I lamented not paying full attention to a previous car you had in the gallery. So thanks sincerely for clarifying.

Would you mind elaborating as to how do you project the painting on the surface? I suppose you now have a template for specific cars, but I am asking more into the vision. Do you want the client to feel something specific, i.e. "walking on the clouds" or maybe its the client wanting a finer-still car?

It is the first time I’ve made prints on vinyl, and it seems to be the direction to go no matter what Alberto thinks of cars.

I still think any car is "round rubber with metal on top", but unlike weddings, if there is a market, I may very well play by the client's rules!  ;)
