anyone ever airbrushed on the car?

i have been wanting some custom firebird emblems on the side of teh car (small) , and havent seen anything like i want. (now i have cheap stickers there. i had something going with a guy on the boards to make some gel/plastic type emblems, but it fell through.

anyways, i have the skills necessary to do some subtle firebirds on the side of teh car, maybe ghosted or something like that. i think it would look very custom and cool, but i am a little standoffish about the permanence.

just wondering if anyone else has airbrushed anything over old paint.

 

i don't have any but i'd like to get them how much do they generally cost?

 

Not mine... But here ya go...

 

well not firebird but it is a chevy! 57 bel air to be exact......it was definatly a nice tribute

 

closer up

 

im thinking along these lines....right behind the front wheel (above the "FIREBIRD" emblem (which i will remove)

ghost look...

 

or maybe color change style...whatcha think?

as of now, the only airbrushing i have done on my ride is a front plate i made...it is the bird, like these, but colored with more traditional flame colors, on a black plate.

 

i think if u did it ghost it would look awesome. i would stay away from the color change tho.

Yeah really. People might think that you're one of those guys .

 

When I had my '83 Trans am with the powerbulge hood I wanted to get something airbrushed on the hood after I was finished with my planned project. It had the powerbulge hood...and I wanted to have a screaming chicken on the bulge itself with flames running down the scoop...I wanted it to all be in ghost...so it didnt stand out too much. I wanted something subtle...I figured it would catch a lot of peoples eyes. One day when I get another thirdgen TA with a powerbulge hood Ill do that.

heres a pic of my TA before it was in the accident

 

As a matter of fact I just got my car back from the paint shop. I had my car repainted and the whole front end is nothing but airbushed flames and skulls. I will post some pictures as soon as possible.

 

Jim your car looks sad look at the head lights (not meaning suck, but if it was a toon it would...you get the drift) lol, o yeah and ghost would be better then another color...:lala:

 

LoL, I see what you mean.

 

here is what i did

 

i was thinking about getting the bird on my hood and the emblems like on the side that say trans-am and the little birds on the side panals all redone with air brush only because right now they are decals and they are peeling off and look really stupid but than again i was thinking of getting the emblems off of a newer trans-am the raised ones and putting them on by the doors but i don't know for sure what i want to do what do you guys think i should do?

 

not to be a *****, but the pic of the bel air, that is a 55 bel air, at least thats what the side moldings are. i have seen one bird with the ghost bird on the sail panel, it looked good.

 

so should i get the birds air bushed ghost and the raised emblems on the sides or what should i do?

 

I am waiting til I have some extra cash... but i'm getting my rear decklid done with

"This is my car..... "

"This is my car on drugs......"

PIC OF MY IROC w/ back tires on fire and a pic of a nitrous bottle in the background.

"Any questions....?"

Imagine that

 

I'd go with airbrush, it looks more custom.

 

that first pict is HOT
i gotta try and sucker my
brother into trying something
like that for me %^)

 

hah, its ok man.....yeah wasnt sure what year but knew it was in that area

 

so i should go all air brush does anyone have a picture of the raised emblems from a 4th gen on a 3rd gen? i think they would look nice but i don't know.

 

i dont like how the air brushed graphics look. whenever i see them people always go overboard with the graphics.people never just do a simple one. they look crappy. to this day i have never seen one i like. i would be impressed if i saw one i liked.the guys with the world trade centers wrecked his car . that air brushing looks so bad on a car . out of respect it is a nice thing to do but why on a nice car.

 

really he wrecked his car??? i just saw it this summer in pa.....details please

 

I think it looks good. And I applaud him for paying for it to be done. The flag itself looks pretty good too.

 

If you go to my site you can see the hood on my vette!!! I think it's a nice pic. But then again that's me!!

 

nolanr0413, details on the bel air

 

dude i think he ment the twin towers thing wrecked the appearence of his car

 

oh....i hope that is what he meant.....cause that was a nice car

 

It's not quite airbrush, but I'm going to paint this on my center caps. I might look into getting them airbrushed instead, I like their detail. Hmm, now you have something for me to think about.

This is just a quickie MS Paint conception. I have drawn a lot of pics and had practice, so it will come out lookin good. But I still like the airbrush.

I wouldn't mind have a girl airbrushed somewhere on the car......

 

i meant the twin towers picture, things of like that dont belong on cars, they belong on canvas and the take away from the asthetics of the car . it makes the car look funny .

 

ok....welll the towers kinda matched the rest of the car......he was goin american pride with this one.....flag and eagle on the back....plus the whole interior was flag with red, white and blue
