My Work- Airbrushed and Painted, Many Pics!

[speedy400]

Well, tons of hours working on this, I airbrushed and painted my motorcycle for the 2nd time. What you should see is a candy apple blue in the front of the front fender, tank, and rear fender, and fades to black, also I airbrushed ghost flames down the sides of the tank and tops of the fenders. Then in the top middle of the tank I brushed on a sick scull. The candy blue REALLY changes in sunlight, the colors really have an awesome depth in person compared to the pics. What do you guys think? This 1st pic is a before pic, PS, what kind of bike do you think it is?-darren

Just wondering how did you go about doing your flames? did you work from the outline in or just did a light dusting over it all?

[speedy400]

last one of the rear fender, a little help to those trying to figure out what kinda bike this is, the rear fender used to be simply rounded with a big honkin square break light bolted on, I found a light for it and bondo'd it in with the fender, then cut out the eyes before I put the color on and detaped before the clear, aka its in there for life!-Tell me what you think...---darren

ahh one last of the tank, this is more what it looks like when you walk up to it. really shows the colors-darren

Awesome, I paint and do autobody my self but just got a air brush so I'm still tinkering around with it..

Did you go to school for it or just school of hard knocks?

[speedy400]

Thanks guys, I'm only 17, so I've just tought myself everything, but I am going to MMI in phoenix soon as I graduate, majoring under harleys. Painting should benefit me.
the pitbike well I couldnt get the electronics to work on it and the electronics were more then the whole bike was worth so I parted her out on ebay and made money off it. So what kinda bike do you guys think it is? Heres a big hint, here is a pic of what it looked like when I got it last spring.
