Need Airbrush artist, Auckland

[Bruiser]

Hi,
My harley is currently in the throes of being repaired after a dumbass woman in a 4WD t-boned me in the city last October.

I need to find a good airbrush artist, hopefully in West Auckland, who can paint up the replacement front fender and tank for me. I have high quality pics and video of the old job before and after they were put on the bike.

The insurance company has agreed to cover this work.

Anybody know of a good airbrush artist?

Ta.

The best place around that I know of in Auckland would have to be "Reflections" but they are in Glenfield.

I know someone who has contacts. I'll ask and see what I can find for ya. I saw some of their work down at the Kuemu V8 show last weekend and was blown away. I'll PM ya if I can find out for you

PM speedmedic, he organised the painting of the KB race bike and apparently that guy knows his stuff

[bugjuice]

that's more vinyl work not really airbrushing, but could be wrong..

[ManDownUnder]

Yeah - SpeedMedic knows the guy in Kumeu (huge signage place on the Left as you head into Kumeu from Auckland, about 200m before the lights).

The guy in there is the airbrush king - apparently

Here's that post


Frosty and Death are both right. Mark does work for Cannon (CSC) or Cannon Signage Concepts. They used to be near the Kart place in Henderson but have moved to Kumeu. They are on the main road on the left hand side just as you enter Kumeu. Mark is the best in the business by far. He is/was? ARAI's official painter. His airbrush work is amazing. They have done a lot of work for me over the years and have become good freinds. Mark has a Duc now that is quite enviable and Cannon has a Hog, which I had a spin on and was pleasently surprised. They are all car and bike nutters with choice Holdens and Big ass Bronco's as well. There was a minimoto screaming around at some stage too.

As a side note, Cannon's son is named Chase and he is only seven and is kicking ass at motocross events around the place.. my prediction is he will be HUGE in NZ and international road racing in the future.

You can view there work by looking at team Kiwi V8 supercars livery. Just drop in.. they rock.

Very cool indeed, the depth in that arm is amazing, and the fact he does it without a proper concept drawing or model to go off is another amazing point

SPEEDMEDIC the guy they are talking about is not mark at connon, it is Brett Blomfield at disturbedair, please get your facts right before accrediting my work to other artists, thank you

[disturbedair]

I suppose it could be interpreted two ways, but on a more positive note, check out my web site disturbedair & see what you think Bruiser. cheers

I have already had a look at your work and bookmarked your site. I'll be calling you in the morning!.
