I have drew up a design for some custom mud flaps. The mud flaps on my truck are looking pretty rough, and I need to paint/decorate them.
My plan is to rough up the flaking carc and coat them with black plasti-dip rubberized paint. I will use tracing paper to transfer the design, then paint it on with paint markers. I was going to use a stencil, but the design is too complicated.
The design is a parody of the iconic trucker girl silhouette. It is a woman dressed in the traditional clothing/gákti of my ancestors; the Sámi people of northern Scandinavia. The words "Cáppa Nieida" mean pretty/sexy girl in Davvisámegiella/North Sámi, and is a rock song by the Norwegian-Sámi heavy joik band Intrigue. Since this truck is used for promoting my Finnish woodworking business, I feel the custom design is fitting.
The lettering is kind of messed up, but I will fix it when I actually put it on the flaps.
