Boy, I've been out of East Los Angeles , my birthplace, for too long. How do you say in spanish " The Crazy Painters" I know it must be something like 'Los P_____s Locos". Thanks in advance.

Alicia...

That would be "Pintor"

as in "Pintor de los signos".

Hmmm... I guess I do remember something from the 80's .... LOL!

A few years back we were in Mexico and went looking for sign painters...no one knew waht we were saying and finally led us to a Rotoulos (sign shop) and there we met a Rotoulista (sign painter). Or so they said! My wife knew just enough spanish to keep us out of trouble most of the time.

I discovered early the only spanish I needed to survive was Cervesa, uno mas

Alicia,

Se dice: " Los pintores locos", in Spanish or "The Crazy Painters", in English.

I went south of the border only once (well, way south...Peru) But back then I always prefered "dos cervesa por favor" although no one travelled with me back then to keep me outta trouble (yeah, a few stories could fit here)
I did find cause to learn "bano" as well
