Would a decent softbox give you the light painting effect or do you have to do a time lapse and actually walk the light around?

In my personal opinion I would like a softbox way more. However I do not have one so I have to work with what I do have. I think a softbox would give you a different effect because light painting is a narrow light which gives off a narrow diffusion while it depends on what kind of softbox you use, but if I was to shoot this with a softbox I would want a decent sized one to get into there and show up in the reflections a bit.

Softbox would be the best route for me, but I do not have one as mentioned so light painting it is for now.

Softboxes reduce light output, sometimes by half depending on the box, so you would need to compensate. Most professionals that light paint simply use an Ice Light, or a homemade light made from a long fluorescent bulb and a battery inverter. The larger the light source, the larger your reflection will be. And remember, larger light source = softer light. So adding a soft box to a small light will not "soften" per se, only just modify the light a bit.

Light painting cars is essentially a way to imitate photographing a car in a studio with a huge white surround and ceiling. It can be as complicated as you want it to be, or as simple.
