Bob Spina’s Little White Limo Project
So I’m on the phone with a buddy of mine, the legendary Bob Spina who got his start a [long] while back apprenticing under Big Daddy Roth, and we’re chatting about our current projects. And it turns out that his is nothing less than the new Hummer Limo for The Little White Chapel here in Las Vegas, which is appropriate since Bob is known as ‘Vegas’.
I had to stop by his shop and take a look at this ‘not-so-little’ masterpiece only hours from its completion. It turns out that Bob did the work on the chapel scenes, flowers and striping and he called Fonzy in for the airbrush work on the figures. Lettering was done by Ross Hurdle.
Bob Spina, artist at large, wrapping up one huge project.
Fonzy used Bob’s likeness on the driver’s side panel mural - and that’s Bob’s Harley-Davidson Dyna Lowrider too. And the lady friend… looks a little young to us - lol.
Want to know a secret? If you turn out the lights, the rings on this couple’s fingers glow in the dark. That’s right - glow in the dark art on a Las Vegas Hummer Limo. Not only the rings but the lights on the chapel and many of the highlights on every mural. Bob’s secret weapon is Alsa’s Super Glow product. Nice effect, Bob! A truly mammoth project executed with expert style and finesse. Just what you’d expect from a master.
The upside of Vegas weddings… they’re fast…
…so hold on. (great job Fonzy with the airbrushed murals)
We can’t wait to see this beast unwrapped and roaming the streets of Las Vegas.
The view from the back, sans tin cans and rice.
One last view of the driver’s side mural painted by Fonzy.
Kudos Bob on this great project — Painted to the Max entirely with Alsa paints and additives on this beast. Lookin’ to dress up your limo? Contact Bob at Paint to the Max (702) 239-2823
Looking to get hitched in Vegas and want to roam the town in The Little White Chapel’s new cool limo?… then call them at (702) 387-5743. As a side note, Kathy and I got married there a while back (1983)… but their limo was a tad smaller and plain white then. Airbrush… changing the face of matrimony everywhere.
