He does amazing work. I had him do a portrait of me chit kicking Seven Segal on the hood of my Smart Car. I say go for it.

No way I'd paint that on the exterior of my car.

Absolutely do it. Then get a parrot, put out an eye and cut off a leg to complete the look. Halloween is this week you know.

Sure and get some motorcycle leathers and maybe a nice black leather vest with a patch on the back to complete the ensemble. Maybe you could start a gang of C7's

The guy does great work but I don't believe that even his talent will make a skull and crossbones work. Have him do Jake for you with a little twist of your own, or his, interpretation. This makes the car fit with your personality and would probably get accepted by more viewers. But in the long run you are the one who will look at it day after day.

I think you should paint a Confederate Flag on the roof.

Put it on with vinyl. The next owner will appreciate being able to peel it off.

Alas, even with the celebrity attached...
I would advise against it.

If you love it, fine.
However, it is most likely going to decrease the value
should you wish to sell or trade.
