Well I'm in my Custom paint and airbrush class and playing on tiles was no fun so I tried on my car. A fellow member on here with a beautiful red Vette had a simple yet eye catching graphic so I tried it but added minor changes. I love how my blue pops now.

I'm not big on flames on theses cars. With that said, I'm a sucker for anything done well on any car. Great job, it looks fantastic.

I'm a disabled vet so the VA pays for my schooling. When this course is over I will go into auto repair so I can get my ASC.

Nice job! That's something I've always thought about trying. What kind of school is it? Is the airbrushing just part of a bigger class or is it strictly an airbrushing class?
