This is our nursery for my new son. Expected sept 25th. It's ktm orange with a stencil of my 40" Iroks painted on as a divider.
 
That's awesome; did you see that done before or just think of it? Either way its pretty cool!

My wife's friend said her friend did a dirt bike tire, and we were going for dirt bike/4x4 theme. It took forever to cut out that template!

Most original. I might use toy tire to stripe my Jeep Hood.

That would be awesome! If it was on mine I would have it do a couple laps on the hood, then park it like a hood ornament front and center like a Mack truck!! Just glue it down! Now you got me thinking!
 
that is a very cool idea! I am sure the time it took to "carefully" cut out each individual tread was enough to make you rethink the whole process :thinking: but the end result is VERY COOL! well done!!!

I want to do that for my boy's room! How do you do it?

Ok here it goes.
1- I chalked my tires in the garage
2- I aired them down so the entire lug was touching
3- ran over some building paper (you want a good 4 feet, the more the better)
4-continue over the paper, do not back over it a second time!!
5- patiently cut out the chalk marks on the paper. I put the paper over some cardboard to save my blade and act as a good cutting board
6- pick a point on the edge of a lug or somewhere that you can line up to stay on your level line, line it up and tape the template up
7- now use some push pins in the tread "voids" to keep the template tight to the wall. I used one or two about every 6"
8- spray the paint in, but not too heavily. Drips are bad, and bogging up your template is worse! You may have to let your template dry every 3-4 times to prevent smearing
9- when moving the template it is important to line up the tread with matching lugs to make it look consistent. On my Iroks it was every 5th outer lug.
10- Show it off and hope your kid likes it!! Good luck!!
