You can use urethane paint and an airbrush or two to apply your design directly to the hood if you don't have software. Look up "vehicle wraps" in you area to see what's available in vinyl. The beauty of the vinyl (if that is actually what it is) would be that you would have the whole design done and approved before the artwork went on the vehicle. I had a '68 Buick Skylark hot rod that I was going to paint with "true flames", but after inheriting another money pit ('70 Chevy 3/4T truck that we use to tow our travel trailer) I sold it before I got that far. I've painted complete vehicles and portions thereof in the past, but that airbrush work would have been a first for me.

I don't have access to any of that stuff.
I think my incredulity at the start was because I am so unfamiliar with cars and car culture, I had no idea that taking a paintbrush to a car was even possible. But now that I know that it is, I will likely stick with that and just research the paints I need to use.
