Need Airbrush artist, Auckland

**Bruiser** · 25th January 2006, 10:13

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

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

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

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

Is there anyway you can learn how to airbrush intricate stuff like that or is it a matter of pratice? I can draw fairly well
