Airbrushing

[jeza101]

Haha, i did the exact same thing to an ecotec engine cover last week, its just black for now as i want to put it on the car to see how the bog holds up. If it doesn't crack i will go ahead and airbrush it.

Holdendude, another great bit of work :yeah:. What type of clear do you use? it looks really nice. so far i have just been using clear from a can, but looking into acrylic, enamel, or iso-free 2pac. Any ideas on what would be best for backyard airbrushing jobs. thanks

Looks nice & smooth Thanks mate, the clear i'm using is 2pak the brand is 'Glasurit' expensive stuff but work pays for it But for a backyardie (even though it's illegal ) 2pak would be the go, remember you get what you pay for, but Metalux make a good cheap clear.

I have finally got around to doing some more airbrushing work.
This is the engine cover which i filled/sanded the text and lines off, i think it looks a lot better without them.

My computer mouse with some flames. and yes, i do sometimes struggle to find things to paint :idea3:

I have recently finished airbrushing a helmet, now i just need some better weather so i can do clear coat. Then soon a ls1 engine cover will be in the works, just need to decide on the design.

 

[ari666]

wow. i really enjoy your updates mate. that cover looks frikken amazing!

keep it up man.

(you SURE you dont wanna do some flames on my car? lol)

I had a go at spraying the helmet with my new acrylic clear, i think it turned out ok. I'm happy with the back section as it came out smooth from the gun, but the rest of the helmet has lots of orange peel on it.
The pics show the clear before being sanded/buffed back flat
The helmet is made for watersports, so that is why i chose the bright orange colour scheme
