Biomechanical Airbrush Take Ii


Recommended Posts

I may be saying the same thing, but maybe make it look like it has busted through the cover, maybe in silver, blue or red?

I actually like the space, it doesn't look too busy or crowded. A tinted clear would definitely be cool though.

 

Think it'll be done by E-Town in April?

Haha..if it's not I'm selling the truck. He told me two weeks or so.

 

Sweet. :P Now you can open your hood to hide those little white spots. :P

 

What happened with those, by the way, did you even clay bar them? You probably already told me, but I forgot.

+1 I think it looks good as is. :P

WHITE SPOTS???? :P

 

My guess is they have since died a horrible, evil, sinister death. :P:D

Yeah, I forgot too..I think they came out, but not with the clay bar, I think I used wax cleaner and/or soft compound on them.

Well, I went last night to talk to this guy, cause I'm not happy the way the shroud cover is looking, it has some gears, and to be honest they don't look good at all. I feel like he's doing a quick job and not taking his time. Cause I saw his own gas tank he was painting and it looks sick as hell of course. A couple gears he painted on the shroud cover look distorted and sort of cartoonish (like it belongs on a t-shirt someone painted down at the boardwalk), I told him I didn't want that, he's just not getting it though. It's so bad and I hate it so much that I wouldn't put it on my truck like that. So, now I don't know what to do. Fack! Even the engine cover isn't refined or biomechanical enough, it's just TOO CARTOONISH. He's just throwing a bone here, a spring there, a gear here..and I hate the smooth tubes that are curved and intertwined. This isn't bomechanical.

 

The picture below is what I showed him of the style/look I wanted that I really liked a lot before he started. You tell me if it in any way if what he's done is on target.

^^ Those ones you posted are awesome man...

 

Where are you finding these guys and how much does this kind of stuff cost?? I'd LOVE to get my motorcycle airbrushed.... i've always wanted a snowy mountain / ski lift type of airbrush on my bike- im pretty sure that's NEVER been done, and its different than all the skulls/flames/etc you see at bike shows.

Those pics I posted aren't of local artists unfortunately.

 

Airbrushing is expensive. I've been cheap, probably why I'm not happy. This guy was only charging me $1,500 for all four pieces, but if I don't like it it's a waste of $. I've sen gas tanks run as much as $6,000 depending on the artist.
