A Jackson Pollack homage would be the easist and fastest. You could knock that out in a minute with a paintball gun.

if you don't like political humor don't click



if it's not allowed Mod please delete.....I just think his Bob Ross parities are funny
Too many good one-liners in that.

I did an image search for tailgate murals and there are some really good ones out there.

Or for tailgaters

And this one is actually a $50 vinyl wrap, but pretty good.

But having the eagle, the flag, and the cross on there it's also the one most likely to get your truck keyed nowadays.

this video popped up in the suggestions and I still don't know why I clicked on it. It made me think "my tailgate needs a bob ross"

before watching go straight to 12:58 for an EPIC camel toe

I vote for velvet Elvis, but will it work sideways or with him in reclining position? I am no Bob Ross, but if velvet Elvis is standing and singing in the classic rendition, it would be hard to fit him in, unless you have a velvet concert hall filled with velvet fans as well?

We use to go to this small town pizza place back in high school and they had all sorts of velvet paintings hanging on the wall with the dark wooden frames. To this day the Velvet Elvis is the one that stands out the most. lol
There was a little pizza shop by work we'd go to once in a while an they had every Elvis painting imaginable an some other 50's stuff...we called it the hound dog cafe

When I lived in Pensacola there were roadside stands selling the velvet paintings...even saw an Elvis bust lawn ornament.

The Bob Ross parity guy has a ton of those, I'm surprised the evil empire hasn't kicked him off yet.

Whatever you decide, I would go with vinyl wrap instead of paint. Just in case your taste changes down the road.

Damn, I forgot my wife was back there!! Thanks for reminding me.
Do you think the neighbors saw?.. I'm gonna go out back and toss a tarp on her. Can one of you guys loan me a shovel and a bag of lime?...

meh vinyl isn't as fun as painting and all the happy accidents that go with it and my taste changes daily. it's not hard to sand off and paint white again. I'm more worried about all the dings and scratches.... it's a truck and gets abused like a truck

Fair enough. Are you doing the work yourself or having someone else do it? If you're the artist, then I can see why you'd want to paint ha.

Bob Ross is fine, but I'm partial to the classic Wolf Howling at the Moon mural.

A piece of useless trivia - I have actually been to his gravesite here in Orlando.

I want to do it myself, hence the original question what type/brand of paint if anybody had any experience doing something like this
