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.

^^ That looks identical to Jenna Catics Z in FL - Literally same exact setup, wheels, color scheme, lights
