Smile *** Updated *** Porsche Decor for the Garage

My wife recently moved into our house and once the house unpacking was completed and most of the pictures were hung, it was time to give the garage a little color.

I painted the shelves to match the color of the tool cabinets. Today I added the Porsche crest to the wall. I ordered it from Fatheads. I uploaded a pic and selected the 40" tall by 30" wide cut out size.

I like how it turned out. Attached are a couple of pics I took with my phone. Not the best, but they work. The first pic gives you some scale of the size of the crest. BTW, thw ceiling height in the garage is 10' 9".

I have added a couple of new pics in post #14

Default New One of a kind Porsche Paintings in my garage

Just moved myself and my wife hand painted these one of a kind paintings to make my GT3RS and turbo feel comfortable in our new garage. She is a Porsche fanatic and I think she did a great job on these paintings.

Thank you. Yes, she encourages my 911 passion. I actually had to stop her from buying a 991 50th anniversary from a dealer while I was traveling on business! We don't need another 911! :-)

Thank you very much. It made a massive difference to the garage and look great when driving in. She is working on several others for the side by the turbo. Here is a different view before she finished the GT3RS painting.

I took a few close-up pictures of the crest on my car, then selected the one I wanted to use. I then uploaded it to the Fathead web site during the "design and selection" part of the ordering process, which was a very simple process.

Since the garage wall paint is stark white, I decided to add a deep red stripe on the walls to give it some color and a little dimension.

I finished painting it about a hour ago.
