just remember to schedule your time so your at least making minimum wage! ;-) 65 with the cost of the body seems like a steal! at those prices im suprised you dont outsource to little slave children in malaysia!

keep up the good work its nice to see cfx painters getting work

Thanks extreme, those introductory prices won't last long...

Hey Mike??!!
When spraying your liquid mask... how much air are you running thru the brush?

CrawlerGraphics

04-19-2008, 10:46 AM

Hey Mike??!!
When spraying your liquid mask... how much air are you running thru the brush?

I've tried to spray it before and it's a real pain. I used the largest tip I had and still had problems. The only way to get it to spray half way descent was to thin the mask with water but I didn't like doing that. I think I used somewhere around 45-50 psi.
I just brush on 4 medium coats with a 2 in paint brush or sponge.:wink:

JEracing

05-10-2008, 06:12 AM

Mike I sprayed some of the liquid mask about a year ago, and yeah thinned with water and then about 5 or 6 really thin coats, think I had 28 psi going to the airbrush. It worked well just pretty time consuming. But all of this is really... I keep my schemes pretty simple cuz I ain't got near the talent to do the kinda work you do... I see my jobs looking like yours in my head... but by the time my thoughts get passed thru the airbrush filter they don't quite turn out that way... :lol:

Hey Mike was wondering if you ever did the urban camo body yet? BTW how much to do a PL chevy sierra body (like the red and white splash one you had) with just a simple paint scheme (red, gold trim at the bottom, silver bumpers and flat black grill), pm me, it won't be anytime soon when I need it just wondering a estimate price??

CrawlerGraphics

08-17-2008, 10:33 AM

At the moment I am not accepting custom paint orders. However I will be painting bodies and posting them up for sale here. Due to my extreme work schedule change and a work related injury it does not allow me enough time to do much custom work. It should settle down by the end of September and I should be able to take custom orders again.

Thanks...
