This is the Harley Davidson grizzly.
In my opinion, airbrush was awesome 20 years ago. But I was still getting a lot of attention when parked on busy street; people taking picture of my car and all.

Re: Airbrushed Graphics (dusty350)
I'm pretty sure that if the graphics are spayed over a layer of clear coat it could be removed in the future. Since spraying over CC is part of the process this would be a good plan if you wanted to take it off in the future.
I wanted a chariot pulled with 400 horses. Of course the chariot would look like the front end of a Vette.
Unless you have an artist friend I expect this would lead to a much higher paint job cost.

I think airbrush stuff would be cool under the hood.
Someday, I'd like to paint a pin-up (ala: my sig) under my hood

Dewayne: IMHO graphics belong on motorcycles and 1960's Vans. ESPECIALLY NOT FOR CLASSIC CARS. Just my opinion... different strokes for different folks :cheers: :cheers:

Re: Airbrushed Graphics (dewayne4)
Picture of a former Vette from my younger days.......
Liked it very much these days, but the car became boring after a year or two.
The original cars are real classics, the customs are attention drawers for a short time.
Just my opinion and experience.....
...but if YOU like it - why not???

Re: Airbrushed Graphics (454Big)
Thanks for the compliment guy, now the next paint job (dream) will have that BB airscoop design incorporated into an airbrush rendition of the 12 oclock high picture of a SR71 Blackbird.....
go to http://www.drublair.com
it's called 'the last hot flight' of that bird....now take that center fusilage picture that is SO similar to the BB vette hood, ghost in a SR71 around it...in black, fade to dark blue, then the classic shark paint job fading through blues...maybe greens....to white on the bottom....
now NO copying my idea guys, I"ll sue....;-)))

Re: Airbrushed Graphics (mrvette)
Depends on the graphics. MRVETTE i love the shark, but i think it would look cool hanging on the wall of my garage. Not on my car.At the SEMA show this year there was a yellow C5 with airbrushed emblems. Looked pretty cool. Racing stripes are cool to.
