Panama City Beach Man Airbrushes Entire Ford F-150 with Portrait of Guy Fieri Wrestling a Gator
Custom paint job declared a 'rolling state monument' by beachgoers; local traffic division declines to issue aesthetic violations.
# Flavortown on the Gulf Coast
Panama City Beach has long been the world capital of airbrush art, but local artist and mechanic Brody 'Splatter' Taylor has taken the craft to its absolute zenith on the body panels of his 2014 Ford F-150.
## The Masterpiece
The full-vehicle mural depicts celebrity chef Guy Fieri in signature flame bowling shirt, executing a picture-perfect wrestling hold on a 12-foot Everglades alligator inside a boiling pot of gumbo, set against a neon magenta sunset.
"People spend thousands on boring matte black wraps," Taylor remarked while applying a seventeenth coat of glitter clearcoat. "This truck represents the dual heritage of Florida: high-heat culinary bravado and reptilian supremacy."
## Public Reaction
Local highway patrol officers reportedly pulled Taylor over twice on Highway 98 simply to take selfies with the tailgate. The vehicle has been nominated for honorary inclusion in the Florida Historical Arts Registry.
