Bust Dust or Rust Metal Sign - 18" x 6"

The artwork features a distressed red field with oversized yellow block lettering reading Bust Dust Or Rust across the center. Behind the typography, a cartoon garage character is partially visible, drawn with cream tones and heavy black outlines for a bold, hand-painted sign art look. The layered text, worn color, and scuffed texture give it the feel of vintage shop graphics from an old service bay or parts counter. Smaller cream lettering near the lower edge reads The Busted Knuckle Garage, tying the slogan to the shop-style typography.

The artwork suits collectors who like automotive humor, weathered graphics, and garage culture imagery with a little grit. The palette is simple but strong: deep red, golden yellow, cream, and black, with intentional aging marks throughout the design. It has the attitude of classic shop wall art rather than polished advertising, making it a natural fit around tools, workbenches, display cars, or a favorite hangout space.
