    I've been looking at a whole lot of airbrushing tutorials and whatnot. There have been a few specifically for helmets. If i were to get into this line of work i'd have to invest in some good quality supplies (airbrush, compressor etc). so first I have to get a job. lol!

    anyways check this out

    Duude..that's pretty sweet. Who knew glad-wrap was so versatile!?

    You could charge people enough money to cover the cost of equipment and in exchange, you can work on honing your talent.

    I've got an airbrush/compressor sitting here if you need something to practise with. It's nothing spectacular, but it'd get ya started.

    Woah awesome!!! That'd be great! I've heard you can use food colouring and water as paint to practise with, which I can supply lol

    hmmm, never heard that...

    I just used decent quality acrylic paints with an 'airbrush medium' to get the paint to milk consistancy (the optimal thickness for airbrushing).

    Not too expensive, think the bottle of medium was about 5-10 bucks.

    Nice! I've got a fair few acryllic paints. For helmet painting you have to use auto paint (solvent based?). I'm gonna have a wee peruse of tardme

    Yup. that would be right. Then you have to go find a solvent based airbrush medium...
