Thanks Hondadriver, Hopefully some day I will be able to airbrush for a living, Im still learning but have progressed very much. I have only been airbrushing for 4 months, but I have been drawing my entire life and Im currently a Junior in college trying to get my graphic design degree. I do want to do some more bikes, it would be sweet if I could get that opportunity, but right now I am happy with doing mine and I have been doing a few helmets for myself and friends. I wouldnt mind doing helmets for people, that would be fun and I could earn some extra cash for school.

Vermino...I completely understand where you and bushmaster are coming from, like I said I am an Art major and I dont mind rejection as well as people's taste. Everyone is different and they are entitled to their opinion. I really just want to show off my talent and say I did it and didnt pay someone else to do it, I also want something different than everyone else. As well, almost anyone can cut out graphics and paint certain areas, but what I am doing is rare and not everyone can do what I do. Thanks for your comments, I truely value everyones opinion whether it be good or bad. And I dont mean to sound offensive, cuz Im not trying to be.

Damn! That's nice!

I can't draw, paint, or anything artistic. They took away my crayons in 1st grade and told me to NEVER EVER attempt anything artistic again.

sigh~

Thanks guys, I just got the clear coat on it and it looks so much better. I need to get back up to my dads house so I can get the sides sanded and get them started. Mferrari thats funny, but I hope I can get to do some bikes in the near future.

That's because you were eating them j/k

Anyway, not my thing but the overlapping flames look really cool. Nice job on the airbrushing.
What kind of airbrush by the way? I'm looking into picking up one soon for artistic work and my models. I was looking at a Paasche double action, internal mix w/ interchangable tips. Any suggestions on what all to look for?
