Vintage AE's airbrush experience

[JK Racing]

vintage AE, you keep posting these pictures your only gonna get more business painting

[vintage AE]

The thing is that I don't own any airbrush equipment lol. I only borrowed Rod's stuff to try it out and paint some box art bodies for his 25 years of RC10 project.

I'm happy with my progress and hope to do some Andy's type shelf queen bodies eventually. I want to do something special for my Atlas graphite car for sure.

I am open to do some painting I suppose. I had Derrick (durb69) do up some wicked custom aluminum 10L parts in exchange for painting a vintage pan car body for him. I cant wait to work on it and do as good of a job for him as he's done for me.

It's just Reg speaking in tongues. It's happened before and it will happen again. It's best to just quietly walk away and hope he doesn't hurt himself... again.

Just thought I'd add a few more things...a 10T and a trophy girl scheme






and now trying my hand at a motocross helmet. This is just an experiment on a beat up helmet from Rod's son. Here is how far I've gotten on it. I'm waiting on stickers to arrive before I can mask up the triangles on the helmet. The visor is looking pretty good though



Hopefully is will look like this one when I'm finished

Oh man that looks good so far! Cody is stoked and wished he had it for Nats as well! Any progress?

[vintage AE]

I have stickers on the way to the house. Shannon is going to send them on the greyhound to Dawson Creek when they arrive. Once I get them I can place them and start making triangles from the logo outward. I'm guessing another week and a half to two weeks before its done/before I'm back in town.

I'm getting a lot closer Rod!

Stickers made it from Thailand to Airdrie, AB to Groundbirch, BC and in my hands. I mocked up the logo placement and started on being a triangle cutting fool. The logos weren't as big as the original helmet, but I made due with what I had.

I've got to apply a few clear coats or so and then place the stickers. This thing is sweet!

Really nice and inspiring thread !

That is so nice Anthony but please don't use the ONE stickers, as that is a Fox helmet! That would be like putting Losi stickers on a AE car!

Cody is stoked!

Glad to hear he's stoked! I've taken off the one stickers, but sizewise, the rockstar stickers don't fit great. Cody can always find more appropriate stickers down the road. For now I will just use a limited amount of rockstar stickers and call it good.

I would like to see this sticker sheet applied to it, but maybe that's something he could get
