  • which airbrush can i use for lettering motorcycle tanks?

    Posted by ian franklin on 27 June 2007 at 15:53

    hello,
    can any one advise me on which airbrush to buy for lettering motorcycle tanks? or maybe recommend me a supplier, pref someone who will sell me the right airbrush & not just one they need to get shot of. have been in the trade for 25 years now, started off traditionally with a brush, then got into vinyl, now looking to get the brushes out again (not full time tho), have got this silly idea that it might relax / de-stress me!!!???
    also need some pointers / advice where to start – any one out there ?
    thanks,
    ian

    I’ll have to get mine out Ian if that’s the case Ian anything for a bit of de-stressing 😕

    Heres Beej’s website the main man when it comes to airbrushing, may be of some help http://organicimage.com/

    Beej has a great site with many tutorials. I’ve always found these people are good for kit and instructional dvd’s http://www.airbrushes.com.

    Iwata airbrushes are great and I use Autoair paints.

    Autoart magazine is also great for airbrushing and sign related stuff.

    Hope this helps.

    Beej’s site is being updated… So call him re Airbrushes.

    I would stick with iwata. The Eclipse is the best all rounder, But like me. You will end up with 4 or 5!

    Good luck, and post some work when you have done some!

    had a look at organic image & was very impressed with beejs work – infact i think i will give up now!!!
    not really, got to give it a go after seeing that flame work – just couldnt stop seeing flames in front of my eyes for about a week – many thanks for all the replys, much appreciated. will post some work up when i get round to buying an airbrush, might start with a bit of text tho.
    cheers, ian
