Tobias Stucco



Tobias Stucco is an amazing interior wall product developed by a good friend of mine Randy Johnson. Randy started Tobias stucco in his garage and has now grown into a successful company that sales and distributes his interior wall finish stucco all over the States. As Tobias Stucco grew Randy needed a couple of company vehicles for his application crew. Needless to say he needed his company logo adorned across them. He did not want to go with the standard vinyl sign as he felt that the logo of the angelic looking womans face became to granulated and lost its elegance. So Randy asked if I could paint his logos on his fleet for him.

The suburban that Randy uses as his sales vehicle had a factory champagne paint job on it. We needed the logo to "pop" off of the truck so I painted an area of the tailgate and side doors white with a dusting of sno-white pearl for the backdrop. The lettering was stenciled using a spray mask made from a computer, for crisp perfect letters. I then airbrushed the face using rootbeer candy and pagan gold kandy, building the details in glazes. The double pinstripe lines were also from a spray mask to ensure the symmetry.

The vans used by his application team were already factory white so I only had to appply the spray masks and do the airbrushing for those only on a bigger scale. Everything was then clear coated and buffed.

Tobias Stucco appreciated the fact that the logos were hand crafted much in the same way as the product they sell. A sign for the new factory soon followed, crafted all in paint to give that extra touch.
