Why toilet seats?

[Pat Whatley]

Where did the whole idea of painting Rat Fink/Hot Rod stuff on toilet seats come from? I've seen enough of them over the years to where I actually don't think of them as toilet seats any longer but somebody had to start the trend.

Pat I think it's because plain white terlet seats are cheap and easy to find.
Easy to take to a show. Easy to paint on/smooth surface.
And people buy 'em easy too.

I am lost what the heck are you guys talking about? Fill me in

 

[SignManiac]

Easier to paint than a urinal with the water always streaming down. And the deodorant cakes stink after a while.

 

[Poconopete]

Cause they are more functional then panels.

I'm with OneUp... clueless. Man, i really gotta get out more.

I haven't had to paint one yet but just before the winter Olympic thing this ol'timer got me to letter up his toilet sign...

You gotta remember the right direction to paint em so they are not backwards.
Best ever was one Brian the Brush did at the Mars meet which used a Baby Ruth and a few plastic flies.
(no pix I was too busy)
Here are some I did at the '08 WOW show.

I've always wondered why business toilets don't have lids... They have the seat, just no lid? What's up with that?

 

[Pat Whatley]

Because that's just something else you've got to clean pee off of.

 

[cdiesel]

LOL eww

Here is one done by Steve Kafka at one of the old Rat Fink Reunions ... my wife bought it ... after she had Steve sign it !

When wrapping a toilet seat, is it standard procedure to purchase a new one rather than wrap the old? I mean it's cheap enough.

Understood....well, I can only paint a room (pretty damn good) but different league.

Either way, the "prep" work is eliminated by purchasing a new "substrate". Ohh no, I said it. Wait for the new catalogs... Long or short? Padded? Wood or plastic? Intermediate or "performance"?

 

[Si Allen]

How about doing one of each and writing a report onm here for all of us to learn?

What about an upper deck. That's one more thing to clean too. Rather it's on top of the tank, or in it. They might as well leave that lid off too.

NOBODY wants to have to clean an upper deck! NOBODY. Damn, I was just talking about buying a new seat, you're talking about buying a whole new toilet...hell maybe even new building!
