Ive been toying with doing some tastefully, have to look close airbrushing to my car. Something that works with the c4 panels/lines.. wondering if anyone has some examples to share? As desperate as "the count" is on counting cars is to cling to his youth he kinda gave me the bug.

Go for it! I fondly remember the days of when cars and especially vans were airbrushed and some of those rides were just mind boggling to look at. Today it's about vinyl stripes applied at the factory and called custom.

Not hardly.

that is why I had them PAINTED on my car. I picked the colors to match up with the interior. White Vettes give you lots of different options.

This one came across my good searches.

Lets see, how do I say this without offending. I like the one on the lower air dam, its done tastefully and without appearing as a decal.

And, it looks painted on like it should. In my mind, my entire car will need to be clear coated after the art work is complete. Which, is a good thing for a 30 yr old car to have a fresh clear to protect the paint.

the pinstriping on the hood of that car should give you some ideas. take away the flames in your mind's eye and look at the striping.
