Artistic Opportunity — Paint a VW Van!

Filed under: Communications — charlotte at 10:28 am on Tuesday, June 9, 2009

My name is Nate Olson.  I just bought a 1984 VW Vanagon.  It is yellow and
has flower stickers all over it.  I want to take the stickers off and
paint my van.  However, I am not a very good painter.  I was wondering if
anyone would be interested in gaining a new project and a new canvas to
paint on.  I am open to any and all ideas.  If anyone wanted to expand
their artistic abilities, I am opening my van to them.  I do not have much
money to give, but if anyone is interested in helping paint my van, they
can call me at 816-863-7777 or e-mail me at Scubaboynate@yahoo.com
Thank you very much,
Nate
