Default Garage art ideas

I'm just about finished painting the garage and epoxy-ing the floor in readiness for princess returning from the supercharger install (see my other thread).

I'd like some ideas for garage art and I'm thinking about some vintage Porsche posters in frames I saw on Instagram. I know some of you have pretty cool man caves hiding away- show us what you've got!

Thanks.

I had this poster in my closet and not to distroy it, I took the decision to make it framed. It will take place in the garage as soon it is ready. I know, it isn't the most exciting poster, but with the frame, it isn't that bad



I think the frame you will choose is going to be very important, because it can follow the poster representation increasing the effect, or go against the representation making of it something without meaning.

My garage is still studs only, but I would put ANYTHING car related. Steering wheel, that old magnesium fan you replaced (which I have), posters, etc. If you want to spend a lot of time looking, check out https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/...isplay.php?f=7

I really like my big aluminum Porsche letters and large emblem.

The sign on the bottom was on Etsy and was big bucks. I think $2800 or something crazy. But it is mirror acrylic and has a ton of detail.


There is a guy makes very nice acrylic 3D Porsche signs and they are pretty reasonable. He sells some signs on Ebay but doesn't advertise the Porsche as they get tense about it.

I had a small one made fr under $100, and I'm having a larger one made maybe similar to the one below, which I will light the edges using tape LED's on the back. He's a cool guy and a great product at a great price. I can post backif you guys want to see it.

Some of the pieces from this site are interesting - my wife prefers them so we'll probably end up with these.
