i am an artist an i am pretty good with tribal art using sharpies, i might do something like that for my self

Yes. And I'm sure the e46 guy ripped the idea off of the sharpie Lambo

So, here is the story. My car needs a repaint at some point. The whole car, minus the drivers fender, door, and rear quarter, looks like someone sanded swirls into it. However, the swirls are under the clear. You can't feel the scratches. Since I know it's going to be awhile before I paint it, I was thinking of doing something "artsy" with it, and I really like the sharpied E46.

My question: Is it cool to rip off this guys idea? Probably will do my own twist on it. But would do the hood and trunk like he did. I was an art major, although I haven't done anything in YEARS. The wife is even more gifted, so I am not worried with how it will come out.

Opinions?

I would love to see it. What I don't understand is how the sharpie doesn't wear off? Do you clearcoat over it?
