1. No, it is not legal to sell a portrait of a celebrity without their permission. Their image is not public domain any more than yours or mine are. You may show it, but not offer it for sale.

2. If you paint a picture from a photo, you must have the photographer's permission and give them credit for the original image. Here are a couple of examples:

howdy - talk english - wth is "B n Q"? If it is your trailer, you may paint it any shade ya desire. yet a clever human being could use a shade that could replicate image voltaic (reducing warmth) and a shade like black, white, silver or different "low brightness" paint to maintain from attracting too lots interest - inflicting injuries, catching the attention of the cop once you're doing some thing incorrect, etc. motor vehicle (motor vehicle/truck) paint could be ultimate as that's formulated for automobiles out interior the elements and could shelter extra effective than the rest - do no longer purely circulate purchase any ol' housepaint and paint it. Forgive in case you think of i'm suggesting some thing you be conscious of is genuinely stupid - you probably did ask what style of paint and are being very un-distinctive approximately what you do be conscious of right here. take it to a physique shop, permit 'em do it top and %. a solid motor vehicle paint and upload a sparkling coat to it. in case you have have been given an aluminum trailer, be careful of the style of paint you chosen, do no longer desire decreased overall performance from the paint by way of the years.
