Torres Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 i'd like to know as well. there's a couple small projects i wouldn't mind doing. watched some videos on youtube. looks tricky, but nothing impossibly hard to get the hang of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbdblue Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 when I went to wyotech, they taught us how to airbrush....I built a mailbox (all tig welded) and custom painted it with alot of brushwork. they also had an extended course, but it was like 1200 bucks and i definitely didnt have the cash for it...but its really something you have to pick up and play with. it isnt really difficult, if you've been an artist, you probably know about shading, tone, shadow, color, etc. its the same concept as any realistic painting or rendering. just have to get the hang of it. did a quick search and found this site, http://airbrushtechnique.com/ might be worth lookin into.

superdave07 Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 not to bring back an old post, but Ive been away from my computer a lot. anyways i decided to jump in balls deep with this. bought a cheap-o single action airbrush from harbor freight to start with. I also have a dual action satajet that i bought brand new from a buddy. There is a guy local to me that does a lot of custom graphics and airbrush work. im going to hit him up at this car show coming up. We know each others cars but not really ever talked face to face. I've also been doing a lot of reading up and talking with artist. I think its going to be a lot of fun, its def going to be something that takes time to perfect. But like any other art ive done, ill finger it out as i go... Ill post up some first attempt pics this weekend for y'all to laugh at Quote Xterra * 69 Camaro * Audi S5 36 Ford * 51 Mercury looking for wire sponsor www.flyracing.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
