What type of paint and
techniques did you use?
For most of the paint jobs I do
I end up using a mixture of
Etac and Wicked Paints from
Createx. These are all water
based paint so they are really
safe to use in the house and
don’t have a lot of those crazy
fumes that would probably kill
my dog. As far as techniques
go I really don’t use a lot of
freehand stencils at all. Most of
what I do is done with a paintbrush and then refined with an
airbrush or vice versa. I might
start with an airbrush detail
with a paintbrush. A lot of Airbrush artists do not mix paint
brush and Airbrush but I find it
to be one of the best ways to
actually paint with an airbrush
since the greatest bad quality
in Airbrush is its ability to make
smooth blends and not get fine
lines while it is the exact opposite for a paintbrush.
How do you decide on the theme for the cars?
It depends. For example the Batmobile was something that I’ve always wanted
to have when I was a kid and as soon as the new Camaro bodies came out I
was instantly like I’m going to buy that and paint that. But then there are times
where for example my Star Wars truck I actually let my clients pick by making a
poll between Avengers and Star Wars. I honestly did not care at all what anyone picked I just wanted to paint something cool on the truck. I really kind of
like letting my followers decide what I do because I feel like it’s a chance to get
everyone involved.
Roughly how long does each vehicle take and how often do
you work on it until it is complete?
On average to do an entire car it takes me anywhere between 200 and 250
