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

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 **** on the hood. LOL!

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.

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.

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.

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.
