zrdkustoms Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Well The day after I bought my truck I started making it my own. One of the first things I did was take the engine covers off and start smoothing them out for some paint. Well its about to go down, gonna lay down the red base and first clear today. Tommorow It will be scuffed and gonna do some airbrush work. Pics to come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zrdkustoms Posted September 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 (edited) After the red base and a couple coats of clear was laid down yesterday, this is what I started with this morning. Looks good but, not quite what I had in mind Time to lay down some Coolness, or shall I say some HEAT Thats more like it! After a lil more clear, you can almost feel the heat from here.

1 Fast SS Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Nice work, and some the photos and Chuck's website are mine. Terry Youngheim Here's some photos you can use for airbrushing. These are just some of mine, I don't have all my photos on there yet, and some of the ones on there are the ones I did for the guys on the board. I'm still in the middle of doing all my covers right now, just been working alot and doing what I can on them. http://www.airbrushartists.org/TerryYoungheim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 Fast SS Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Cool, you do some good work as well, How long you been doing airbrush work? Thanks, off and on for about 9 years. Just got back into it heavy the past two years. I'd show you my covers but they are a secret right now. Painting true fire is one of the hardest things to paint, because of all the color stages, designs, backrounds, etc. You just have to keep practicing until you become good at it. Any pro artist will tell you that. I actually sanded my down completely and got rid of all the lettering, and ribbing from the top and used bondo. So mine is completely smooth, what a pain that was!!! When I get them done, I'll post them up. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
