DIY airbrush on a car at home

A beautiful image on the hood is one of the best styling options for a car of any make and year.

Graphic styling catches the eye and makes the car stand out in an original way. And in recent years, this has also been an ultra-fashionable trend, which allows the owner to show his own individuality and make the car recognizable.

The highest quality and most affordable picture is provided by vinylography - a sticker on a car in the form of a picture, inscription or geometric patterns.

ADVICE! Vinylography can be coated with a silica-based quartz compound called ceramic. Ceramics on film: additional protection of the film and extension of the service life of the airbrush. Ceramic gives incredible shine to glossy finishes and deep color to matte finishes. Creates maximum hydrophobic effect. Ask managers.

Airbrush options

Every year more and more airbrush options appear in the world. They quickly gain popularity and also quickly cease to interest people. But there is an option for decorating a car that always remains relevant - airbrushing. This type of art has only 1 disadvantage - it is a high price. For a small job on the hood of a car you will have to pay about 20,000 thousand rubles, but if you try, you can do a good airbrush on a car or motorcycle with your own hands at home.

Types of airbrushing:

  • Monochrome airbrush. All work on the car is done in one color. White color is used periodically and added to it to obtain different shades. The monochrome method is optimal for beginners who want to do this kind of work with their own hands at home.
  • Laconic airbrushing. The style uses a small number of details that express a philosophical idea.
  • Color airbrush. The work involves two or more colors. It is possible to use several shades of the same color, then the result will be similar to monochrome airbrushing.
  • Stylized airbrush. Basically, this work is done using stencils, since the image uses a large number of details with accents on some of them.
  • Artistic airbrush. This is the most labor-intensive and at the same time the most expensive type of airbrush, since the work consists of a large number of layers and a complex pattern.

Airbrush automobiles and cars.

Expressive and harmoniously inscribed in the design of airbrushing on the car will certainly not leave anyone indifferent and will cause a lot of emotions, attracting the views of drivers and pedestrians. Under the paint any color of the car, especially effectively looks on the image looks on black color.When working on a white or silver car there are some features, adhering to which, too, is terrific.Most often, the drawing on the car uses the front and rear doors, plus the rear wing — this is the most practical combination — you can successfully arrange the picture and, unlike the hoods and front fenders, on most car models, these elements are less prone to chips.The picture can be any, the most important, that he first of all was pleasant to you and corresponded to your tastes, and then it was already appreciated by friends, friends and acquaintances. To accomplish this task is necessary together with the artist, trusting his skill and talent, in this case one can count on a good result. The time for performing creative work can not be fully appreciated — it may be before the approximate date, when it captures inspiration, or maybe later — until the best thoughts appear. The question often arises: what to do if the painted element is damaged? This is amenable to correction. See examples in the section “Restoration of airbrushing” Quality airbrushing will be remembered and will make your car recognizable. Due to these factors, the image on the car is an excellent anti-theft — after all, if there are cameras, and a large number of random people remembering your vehicle, steal his sheer madness. In addition, it is impossible to sell it with characteristic and individual signs - it will be immediately caught, but repainted - economically unprofitable. Plus, again, unnecessary witnesses. Another advantage of the painted car is that when compiling CASCO insurance companies willingly give a discount or you can generally exclude insurance against theft, which will significantly reduce the cost of the policy. If the car body is painted more than 60%, then the PTS will have to be changed and it will say: color — multicolor, special marks: airbrushing. This is done quickly and costs 500r. (At the time of writing) All this applies to expressive, stylish, bright and, most importantly, quality work. Choose a master carefully. Learn his portfolio, style, relate to his wishes and ideas. Do not hesitate to ask questions. And embody your wishes in life!

Tools and materials for airbrushing

The most important tool for airbrushing is the airbrush itself. It is sold in craft stores. It is better to take a universal airbrush for forming thin lines, with a nozzle thickness of 0.3 mm.

To paint a background or gradient you will need a mini spray gun. It is better to take one with a nozzle thickness of 0.8 mm. You will definitely need a compressor that serves as a source of compressed air. A hose is included with the compressor, but if necessary, it can be easily purchased separately.

Important! The phase in the compressor must match the capabilities of the workshop, otherwise the equipment will not work.

It is necessary to protect yourself from paint getting on your skin and mucous membranes; for this you will need: a bandana or other headwear, medical gloves, goggles and a respirator.

For work, it is best to rent a special room that has a built-in hood (auto repair shop, carpentry shop or furniture production workshop), otherwise you will work in clouds of paint.

Also, to perform airbrushing on a car with your own hands at home, you will need basic paints. For beginners, it is better to use alkyd paint, as it is flexible and has a high level of hiding power. There are also auto enamels and acrylic paints, but these are not the best choice for first experiments with airbrushing.

Re: Airbrush for a patriot

And if it bothers you, do it ;)

But for me it’s too much. I saw an airbrush (I’ll say more - I wanted to buy a car because of it) - on the theme of the death of America. On the hood there is a statue of liberty in the form of death, and the rest is destruction and darkness - that’s for me;)

Colors, toners, varnishes and solvents

It is better to buy them in a set or purchase several cans with the shades that you will use more actively. You can also go to a store where car paints are tinted and buy ready-made colors of 50-100 ml, but their bases must certainly match.

Once you're done, you'll need a base coat and a hardener to create the topcoat. Its components are sold separately and you need to dilute them yourself according to the instructions that come with the package. But you shouldn’t dilute too much, since the components cannot be stored in a mixed form.

For reference! An optional, but very useful attribute is infrared drying. It ensures fast drying of alkyd paints.

You will need a solvent as you work. Solvents No. 645 and No. 650 are well suited for alkyd enamels. They are also used to clean the spray bottle when changing colors. For nitro enamels, solvent No. 646 is recommended.

To apply the design you will need stencils and patterns. You can either buy them in a store or make them yourself. They come in two types: disposable and reusable. Disposable ones are made from thin cardboard, thin plastic, and X-ray film. The ideal option would be self-adhesive film. In order to use the stencil several times, it is enough to laminate a disposable one.
