Very impressive. Can you please tell me how you prepared the van's painted surface before painting the pictures onto it? Can you also tell me what type of paint you used and if you sealed the paint with anything? Thanks.
Honestly I didn't prep the white paint at all. I just cleaned it. If I was to go back I would do a good sanding job on the existing clear coat to rough it up a little. It's holding up pretty well though. The paint is called 1 shot sign painters paint. It's an enamel. It is what old hot rod pin stripers and sign painters use. Therefore it is made to be pretty durable on top of an unprepared clear coat. I chose not to put a clear coat over it once I finished because there were mixed reviews online about if it would wrinkle the paint or not. However I do know an artists that paints vehicles regularly with this paint and he said to let it cure in the sun for at least 2 weeks and then you can spray a clear coat on it. Hope that helps!
BohemiVan It's available at most art supply stores. I had to order mine online to get better pricing and color selection. Yes it covers in 1 coat. Hence the name 1 shot :-)
Wow. You can't help but be impressed by the sheer amount of time, effort and talent that has gone into completely ruining that beautiful old classic van.
The Moggy is now back in the UK. I’ve seen advertising saying It can be hired for shows. I enjoyed the video you uploaded and find it amazing the journey that moggy has had It certainly adds a charm to the vehicle. Awesome art work btw.

Yes, that does help a lot. Is this enamel paint commonly available in DIY shops or is it very specialised? Does it cover well with just one coat?
