Thanks guys:beer chug:

Here is my attempt at blue flames on the ls1 engine cover. It is my first v8 engine cover so hopefully it does not bubble from the heat of a v8. All the v6 engine covers i have airbrushed haven't been effected by heat at all.

I will be putting some of these airbrushed items up on ebay soon, so if you are interested before they go up, let me know. I'm not really sure how much they are worth, so will just put them up and see how much they go for. If anyone has purchased/sold anything like these what price would i be looking at?

Just remembered about this little project I did awhile ago, It's and old paint tin, just thought it'd be good for practice, It's Blue & silver 2 tone with candy apple red over black & silver base skulls in tribal bands, Pinstriped borders, aswell as flesh holes with circuit bord showing through :) Enjoy..

haha, yes i find it very handy. When it's not being used i can just collapse it, and get it out of the way.
In the pics it does look a bit like carbon fibre, but it's just the reflections after the clear coat.
Paint tin looks good, you are lucky with access to a paint booth, and some really nice paints.

I would be happy to do that for you, but i imagine postage from Vic to WA would cost a bit for a ls1 cover

love checkn ur updates...ur work is awesome!! How much would you charge to do an engine cover? would be interested if your able to !!

Thanks mate:), For pricing i will have a look around online to get a rough price guideline, as i don't have much of an idea, and don't know anyone in the paint/custom industry to ask. Price would depend on the complexity and detail of the design. What would you think of approx $100 + engine cover. Thats approx $15 an hour, and allowing for $30 of paint

yeah would be worth it though mate, something custom that no on else would have. i think $100 is more then reasonable for something of that quality/

Dude... this stuff is amazing, I'm loving this thread. First time I've seen it and I've been missing out!!!

I used to have an artistic streak, drawing pictures (mostly looking at one picture and reproducing it myself without tracing).
Someone suggested I should try airbrushing but never really looked into it.
Would love to be able to do some of the simpler designs.

Keep posting, would love to see more!
