Brizio Posted May 1, 2014 Author Posted May 1, 2014 oh man both ulgy. should be easier to paint the car,. time to sing some Chris Christopherson now. I never paint mural stile, so for me it is kind of challenging. I know Janis Joplin was not a top model, but she was a singer... The 356 in this contest, (JJ car) I like, I prefer a Coupe over a Cabriolet myself. But if I get a Cabriolet for free, I will not refuse it... Oh Yeah ... I want to see you do Janis' paint job! Me too... I still need to decide if paint it like when JJ own it, after it was stolen, or after the restouration...
mrm Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 This will be a really hard paint job to pull. I don't know if you can find the proper referrence material to replicate it and this is before even involving one's ability to do it. About Janis' looks, she lived at a time when for a performer it was way more important how they sing than how they looked. Unfortunately that concept has been long lost with today's "music stars". Good luck with the paint. I would really love to see you pull it off.

Good luck with the paint. I would really love to see you pull it off. I have different pictures from different angle of the real car during the years. I need to look a the picture, kind of study them, to find a point where I can start. Will see... Agree on today music stars. Thanks!
Brizio Posted May 3, 2014 Author Posted May 3, 2014 Now the car is ready to paint. For help, I design on the car the main lines of the mural.

jbwelda Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 wow this sure took a sharp left into the Twilight Zone! I love it and if Janis was here to see it she would love it too I betcha! Saw her once going up the Marin side of Waldo Grade approach to the Golden Gate bridge, me and a buddy of mine in my 54 MGTF. she waved and smiled at us as she passed us going up the hill. Fun times. jb

PeeBee Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 If you're really serious about reference for this car, pop in to the Whitney next time you're in NYC. The car is parked downstairs just outside the museum's café. And yeah, give Cheap Thrills a spin and you're reminded of what an original Janis Joplin was in her day. And today. Think of what female performers were recording back then, when Janis hit the scene. Wow!
Jaguar man 21 Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Awsome job I saw a 356 earlier today I was stunned
58 Impala Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 That's going to look real cool when it's finished. I've never seen anyone attempt a paint job like that. After you finish you need to find a Rolls kit and do John Lennon's psychedelic paint job.
