How to Paint Cars Using Your Mouth: Dacia Folk Tales

Not too long ago, our test drive session happened to include the Dacia Logan, a “low-cost alternative vehicle” as we called it. One of our guest editors, Lou Cheeka, seemed to be familiar with the extreme folk tales created around the past of Renault’s low-cost brand and shared these with you.
Some of our readers were pretty amazed by the happenings Lou Cheeka described and, despite him claiming that these are as real as possible, they told us that they do not believe a word of what he said.

We couldn’t leave Lou Cheeka to face the world wide web alone, so we decided to return to this topic, this time with a video that demonstrates the level of craftsmanship achieved by the Romanian people who fix Dacia models belonging to the pre-Logan era.

The clip shows us a man that replaces the compressed air part of a paint gun with his own respiratory system and proceeds to painting a rear wheel arch of a Dacia 1310 sedan. The DIY stuntman displays impressive accuracy, even though he had decided to skip covering the rear bumper before applying the paint.

PS: do not try this at home - this... ahem... craftsmanship may make you dizzy or even worse.
