So my sister gave me an old Power Wheels Barbie Jammin' Jeep. My niece is 13 now it had been sitting in their yard for years. She is classy. It was filthy, no battery, and violently pink - purple.   Since my son just turned two, I decided to get a battery for it and paint it all red to cover up the age. Then I remembered I am a huge nerd with a lot of free time.  I disassembled it and washed the pieces off, scrubbing them clean.  Then I just started painting.   Sebastian helped.  I photoshopped a logo, printed out a few it at Walgreen's, and backed them with adhesive.  And now it is a Jurassic Park jeep!  Battery is charging now Those fuckers are expensive, BTW. I doubt he is going to be able to steer it that great, has never seen the movie, and would have preferred I painted it like Elmo, but whatever. It's funny I just remembered years ago I posted a thread about re-painting my older son's room. I guess I repaint stuff a lot. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2757249 The Fuzzy Hulk fucked around with this message at 02:52 on Apr 20, 2016 |

Tumblr is already putting together an angry mob OP. You shouldn't have given your son a toy that conformed to gender norms.

Verily cool but you spent all that time deciding whether or not you could, never stopping to think whether or not. . . you should.

I have a Power Wheels I want to do something similar with. What kind of paint did you use? Did you do any prep work other than cleaning it first?

I rubbed it down with some sandpaper and used some primer on it, give the paint something to stick to. I used some paint I got at Walmart, rust-oleum ultra cover 2x.

what if your son turns out to be super gay, like gay to the extent that he will hold a lifelong grudge due to not having a pink power wheel at the age of 2?
