MIST x Volkswagen New Beetle is a piece made for the Parisian art gallery Le Feuvre. French street artist MIST has given this vehicle a completely customized paint job that you most definitely won't find on any other car.
What's great about the MIST x Volkswagen New Beetle car is that it's a moving piece of artwork. Where typical street art is limited to the specific location that the artist has decided to tag, this MIST creation can be spotted at multiple sights.
The rough exterior of the MIST x Volkswagen New Beetle makes it look as if the car was driven through a battle field of spray paint. It's wickedly raw and would definitely turn heads as it rolls through the city streets.
