I stole a traffic cone.
 
And painted that bitch.

lol.... i oughtta return it when im done. LOL.... that be some funny crap to see.

still got work to do on it. Gotta put a lighter shade of blue in spots to highlight it and make it pop.

still not good enough to put on a car, gotta work on the ends of the flames. the base stuff is looking good though

Im actually serious, I would buy that for a few bucks, or atleast pay shipping. I've got a pretty cool idea for it.. :rolleyes:

It looks alot cooler now that the flames are on something, rather than a little spot on a board.

You know what wouldn't be a bad idea Jack,

Get like a huge like car bra, one that can cover the front bumper and like the whole hood, you put it over your car and paint on top of the clear bra.

clear bra or car bra?

i know you can airbrush leather and crap like that. the biggest issue is that flames look the best when they are nice and glossy from multiple clear coats.

Im gonna find yer SUV and paint a big set of tits on the hood. LOL!

Hell yeah man, getting good. Like you said once you get the tips to a nice point you'll be ready for some car painting!

(You should do some DSG flames on you stripes!)

Badfish 10-19-2006 02:23 PM

freakin sick man, you are getting good. hurry up and hone your skills so you can do my car

mustangvsix 10-19-2006 05:50 PM

loooks freakin awesome. if you feel confident enough you should start painting the ponys that go in the front grill of our cars. i would soo pick one up if you did a white pony with black/grey flames.

THanks for the props!

Ive thought of that but i's have to get a different gun to do such small detailed work. I want to get one, but that wont be for a little while.

SpinMedia 10-19-2006 06:08 PM

You sig dosn't work bitch.

well when you start doing that definately let us know, because i know it should not cost $150 for a painted horse like that one guy charges that makes them. no doubt that takes some amazing skill and tallent but $150 is a little out their imo.

Well lets see... It took me a total of 45 minuits to clean the traffic cone, paint it black, put on the base flames, candy it blue, put some more flames on where i felt it needed more, and candied it blue again.

The guy with the horses is seriously overcharging, chances are he worked out some stencils and hand shields to get the effect he has. I bet you he can crank out one of those horses in about 15 minuits tops. There is so little paint involved that it is hardly a cost. he may very well use the same air brush setup i have for all i know.

The horses are what, around 20 bucks? sell 10 of them and you got more than enough monety to recoup the costs of making 100's of them.

if i can get good enough at small work which will definatly take some practice, but im sure i can do it, hell, i dont think i would feel good about charging more than 60 bucks each. Even then i would feel im overcharging.

never seen one in person, the work on them looks top notch from the pics online.

my girlfriend can get 10 nails and 10 toenails airbrushed at a Salon for a fraction of the cost.
