My latest airbrush work...and it's on a toilet seat!

[link]

I started with a pretty standard white toilet seat from the hardware store and painted it black first. To do the rest, I used a combination of base coat white and oriental blue candy. I used all House of Kolor urethane custom automotive paint and clear coat.

The process is a combination of base coat / candy coat in alternating layers until I achieve the look I like. On this piece, there are 4 layers of white and 3 layers of candy, followed by 6 layers of clear.

Hope you like it!

I worked as an architect for 25+ years and was laid off for the first time in my life in June 2009. So now as I approach the Big 50, I'm looking to reinvent myself and flex my design wings in other areas. Hot rods and "kustom kulture" have long been a passion of mine, and custom paint / airbrush work / photography of the subject has always been a hobby... until now! In my world, anything can be custom painted! I think you'll notice that in my gallery

So follow me on my transformation and let me know how I'm doing!

Thanks!

Broken Airbrush Update

Iwata is an amazing company. I called them up, explained the problem I was experiencing with my HP-C Plus. They gave me a reference number, asked that I ship it to them, and they would take a look at it. Well a little over a week later I get a package from them, it's a brand new airbrush!!! Freaking awesome.

Now all I have to do is find the time to use it! I'm finishing a complete repaint of a 68 Camaro that doesn't have any airbrush work. If that isn't enough to get done, I find out my landlord is behind on their payments to the bank and I have to move out now. My family and I have been in this house for 11 years! This is not going to be easy!
