Hi Vezj420 ,

need an airbrush gun , an oil free compressor , some knowledges in basic of art and automotive paints ...lots of passion and persistence ....... is enough for one to start this art form .An artist can be taught only to master his tools the rest depends on his inner creativity which i think no one can teach . ......appreciate you liking my work right now i still am a student too

posting pics of an airbrushed work done by some artist abroad which is one of my favs its the same car with one pic taken during the day and one in dark

viky_s · 16th August 2008, 21:17

hi KSUDYE,
great work man!!! Awesome...
I have a silver esteem & i am really interested in applying airbrush art on my car.
Can you please quote me the prices for the Flame design shown in your post and for how much time should i accept it to last?

reagrads,
vikram

ksudye · 19th August 2008, 10:27

Hi Vicky S

Real Flames technically cannot be painted on a silver painted surface ,it is normally airbrushed on a dark back ground . However there has been instances of flames airbrushed on a white and cream surfaces. i may have to paint the area dark before i do the flame work . ( posting a pic of a work done by another artist for ref purpose )

Glad you liked my work and i would like to know what car you have and normally quotes are given after i have a discussion about the work and design that has to be airbrushed.

( would appreciate if you would pm any business related work otherwise i am ready to discuss any topic , questions on airbrushing )

asad_hyderabadi · 24th January 2009, 14:10

Hi this a first part in the series of a beginners guide to automotive airbrushing

In this i will discuss the airbrush gun

Airbrush guns are used in a wide variety of fields from fine art on canvas , wall murals , automotive airbrushing to nail art , make ups , tanning and even to decorate cakes

there are basic two types of airbrush guns

1. which is a siphon feed airbrush gun where paint is fed from a bottle attached below the gun

2. which is a gravity feed airbrush gun where paint is fed from the cup attached on top of the gun.

both the guns are equally popular but a gravity feed gun i feel is best to start on automotives and then the gravity feed can be added later on to your range . its much easier to do fine free hand spray patterns with the gravity feed

i started with an Iwata brand HP-C which i had imported 3 years back as there was no one selling it in india. i recommend Iwata brand Hi line HP-CH for beginers in automotive airbrushing. It has a .3mm nozzle ( the size of the nozzle decides the broadness range of the spray line ) which is good for automotive .Mr. Rajesh Mishra is a retailer for Iwata products and he can be contacted at No. 9892107712 . Iwata products have been launched all over India so there must be other retailers too ,ask your local automotive paint or paint equipment related supplier .Indian make airbrushes are also available, they cost less but i cannot comment on performance since i havent used them . A manufacturer is located at dadar and have yet to get his full details . Other make airbrushes are also available at art stores but wouldnt recommend them for automotive purpose unless they are branded and of superior quality i say this cos the viscosity of automotive paints are such that only good quality guns are capable of giving a fine atomization of paint and you wouldnt want your work to go bad when cheap quality guns suddenly sprays an uneven spray pattern.

next time i discuss compressors and set up

also posting pic of my latest work

ksudye · 6th February 2009, 14:09

Hi in this second part will discuss the compressors and its set up

The compressor best suited for airbrushing is the vacuum pump or diaphram type compressor . They are small and give out less noise compared to the piston types . The biggest advantage is that its oil free and does not ruin your art work with any chance of oil contamination , as any oil contamination can cos pinholes while clear coating . Since the max psi an airbrush gun requires is 45 the model HS SP - IT is ideal ( its the one which i use ) Its available at Highspeed Appliance Andheri E web: Diaphragm Pump, Mini Compressors, Vacuum Pumps, Piston Compressors, Compressors, Vacuum Pump, Mumbai, India also can contact the owner mr. Umesh Shah on 022-66923661/28207620

You will also need a pressure regulator with a filter these can be sourced from Kaushik Engineering & A Examinar Bldg 111 . N M Road , Near BSE MUM 1

Hoses and fitting can be sourced from local hard ware store otherwise in mum its available at nagdevi street . there should be distance of atleast 8 to 10 feet hose length between the compressor and filter .

Will discuss paints next time
