How to do a handpainted design...

[metallicarocks]

I've affectionately named my black Vandy Anubis. I thought it would be cool to have a friend paint an Anubis graphic on there for me. I'd like to be able to pull off a really nice job on this, hopefully make it look like a factory did it. Any suggestions would be great.

Airbrush=AutoAirColors (water base) over a polyurethane base primer. (Many, Many colors are available) Clearcoat with a 2 part clear.

P.S. Change your avatar, it makes me dizzy everytime I see it!

Not so sure I can do that man. I can't stop laughing at that goddamn thing, it just never gets old. Maybe it's because it reminds me of my little brother that's not much smaller than that! He's a funny little shithead too, I might also add.

Well it was a thought, but you know, I wanted this one to look nice. We'll see about it on another project though. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I don't believe my friend has ever done airbrushing before. She mostly does sketches and colors with markers. The work she does is fucking amazing. How big of a change would it be to go from drawing with a pencil to airbrushing?

Let's see some of her work.

Have to give me a couple days on that one, will do ASAP.

Is there any way of doing this without using an airbrush system? I'd hate to go out and buy a setup and use it only a couple of times. I'm the worst packrat, I don't think I'd ever put it up on Ebay. I'd think I'd need it someday and it'll be with me until I rot.

not if you want it to look factory.

Re: How to do a handpainted design...

Given the design that you are using it could be done with stencils and masking, but you will need some way to apply the paint. If not an airbrush you will need a touch up spray gun in the least. Or you can go ultra cheap and rattle can it, but the outcome will probably not look pro.
