Just ordered my first airbrush!

Hey guys some of you know Iv been rebuilding my GTA for a while now. Well Iv done all the work myself and its time for me to have fun with it. Iv been to schools for it and practiced a lot. My parents and g/f have been trying to get me to order one so I did.. I just orded my first airbrush gun, an Iwata elcplise series. Im needing ideas of what I should do to the turd. Im trying to think of a name for the turd and maybe airbrush it in the rear bumper or something. I really like death trap but everyone thinks thats just bad lol. Check out my cardomain to see my progess or my post here "another project form 1987 GTA"!!

Re: Just ordered my first airbrush!

Iwata is the best. Sata is coming around with a good one, youll start seeing them more and more. But Iwata has been around a good while and thats what everyone uses. $150 buys a really good starter kit with a the top of the line stuff. CoastAirbrush.com are a great help and deal with a lot of big name artests..Thats the only people I deal with with custom auto stuff. Pretty cheap to get started and you can have fun with it also..

Re: Just ordered my first airbrush!

since you went red again... heres a few thoughts I was considering on my car.
on the rear bumper, airbrushing the PONTIAC lettering black.
or on the hood, paint the inside of the nostrils black.

how much experience do you have with the airbrush? I have very little thats why I was thinking of doing these and only these. if you have some good experience with one then you could do some really cool things
