Airbrushing an airbrush? Customizing my 'brush

[tatocorvette]

Hello,

I usually use my airbrush without the back handle. Recently, I found my original handle which was in a box for years. So I started to clean it, but it took a life of its own.

Been cheap plastic, it was all scratched up. So I started by sanding it.

All of a sudden, it was covered in white automotive primer...

So I painted it a nice shade of blue, 1971 Chevrolet Mediterranean Blue.

End of the story, right? Nope!
Made a stencil of flames. Then painted 2015 Corvette Laguna Blue Metallic on top, and a small faded stripe of 2019 Corvette Sebring Orange at the bottom.

Scalefinishes 500 series clearcoat to seal it and bring that metallic to life!

TA-DA!

THE SMOKING HOT GUN!

30 years of service and counting...
This pic will most likely become my online avatar.

Hope you like it.

Thanks,
Ismael
