Sooooo I'm painting my tailgate...

BadInfluence · Apr 1, 2011

Excuse me for the ****** cell phone pix but it's all i had on me at the time.

Anyhow so I decided it was time to do some airbrushing on the new truck. I couldn't decide what exactly I wanted to do as I wanted an eye catcher but I didn't want to do something i do all the time. This is what I came up with.

Before candy (base white)

After candy (and some more detail)

So what do you all think? Friendly criticism welcome.

I am going to be adding more but this is it for now.

Well im thinking of doing an airbrush under the ram emblem and make it look like smoke is coming from the tip and wrapping around the geisha scene. then to the far left will be the business name and phone number

George, I think she said that she was going to ACN and ATN, maybe she could do it there!

Oops, sorry dollface.

I'm not big on airbrushing, but I really like the geisha. As they say it struck a cord with me. Also, that could easily go to a latino theme... well done and yes it is very cool!

thanks all... although i sanded it off this morning. wasnt happy with it... didnt seem to fit the feel i was going for with the truck. And after spending half the night looking at it and thinking. I thought of something better I have been thinking of doing for a long time. I'll keep you all updated and posted with progress pics.

airbrush me on there!

BadInfluence · Apr 2, 2011

I am doing a fallen angel type portrait on the left side and was thinking of doing an airbrush under the dodge emblem and making it look like smoke coming from the tip and enveloping the angel.

The only thing is I was thinking of using the oriental blue kandy and going over everything again with it, but im afraid i will loose the detail.

What do you all think? Should i add a little blue (shading) or coat the whole thing?

Here is a cell pic of the angel so far.

Wow! You do amazing work! The geisha was nice but the angel is fantastic.
