hi guys..

new boats custom painter...

[machrhoumr]

hi all.

[shadow ace]

Hi guys!
I just joined the site here. Im still new to AB but finally stepped up from single to dual stage. The difference has really inspired me to learn. I am currently ABing my motorcycle and been a rollercoaster of trial and error. I am hopeful that between here and the mag I will pick up some good habits.

Im off to do some reading (slacking at work)

[D-Man]

Welcome welcome!

[madskillz]

Yea Welcome

[Palepainter]

Welcome and good luck with the project. It is always a good idea to do the trial and error thing on your own stuff at first. :)

[rich]

Welcome to the Mayhem Ace hehehehe :naughty:

Welcome man! just ask and we will help :fing02:

[cpnraisnuts]

This is my first post here, and I just wanted to say thanks to Derek, Shane, and Don. I met you guys in chat the other night and your advice has been great. Originally I had plans just for my wife to start abing, but after looking at the art and meeting a great bunch of people here I'm gonna do it to. I am gonna get my wife a MOJO as a suprise, but I she might have to share. She's a real good artist so I think she'll make the transition to ab more easily. I'm just having a helluva time making daggers! Oh, and get a class up here in the Sacramento Area. I (we) would love to go! And yeah, don't ask about the username.:naughty:

[Palepainter]

Welcome, Get your wife in here too. Great group of guys with all kinds of skill levels.

Dear Mike and Crew,
I was sent an issue of AB from Bearair, and it was the issue "Them is fighting words" article. After i read that article I went right out and Purchased a vinyl plotter. I have been hand doing all my masking and drawing and cutting for about 15 years. Till I read that. It has cut out about 8-10 hours of work!!!
I am a Professional Tattoo Artist, for a living, and airbrush for the love of it.
My point...the line drawing that i use, is the same that i load into the plotter!
And BINGO out comes cut mask!!!!! I have been working the last month cutting and brushing skate decks for my 5 kids, I cant get enough of it!!! it is like you
re awoke that little boy in me again that just picked up an airbrush for the first time!!!

I want to be more involved in the going ons here at this site, but i need a minute to figure out how and where everything is!
but right now I am trying to figure out the requirements for the Panel Swap. I cant find the Spec and rules. there is so much info my A.D.D. is going crazy...hahaha
so if you could help me out that would be great, and if i dont get the project done maybe i can make the next one! (But i like Pressure Deadlines)

Thanks Mike and Crew,
Randy DeShong II

[pat mc]

Let myself be convinced to check out the site in person, rather than looking over husband Bob's shoulder. Yup, wife of the Yam Man! Not really a painter myself, more into crafts, but like looking at other people's great art works.
That's it for now!

Welcome!

[anderekel]

Nice to see you hear, we only hear good things about you from bob :p enjoy :fing02:

[pat mc]

Many thanks to all who have made me welcome. Bob's chuckling over "yammomma". I have helped out occasionally on painting yams, though I tend towards painting ceramics and other small figurines, sometimes wood, etc. Currently doing some sewing for the granddaughters, but will be going back to work on my "Christmas Village" before long.

Bob got me into all this, I'm NOT sorry to say. :smlove2:

My other MAJOR pre-occupation is family history. As you'll note from my little avatar, I'm British born! Bye Pat

[Palepainter]

Welcome Pat!! I think the YAMMOMMA has a ring to it. HEHEHE.... Good to see Bob has some one to share his vegi fettish with. :)

[Edkrup]

Welcome Pat
Good to meet the Pat from the famous "Pat Plates" Bob did.

[AirNDhead]

Hey guys! I am really GREEN in the area of AB. Just bought me a Badger 155 Anthem. So with all of your experience....tell me what I can do to get started ....and most of all get good at AB. Any help would be welcomed! THX!:You_Rock_

[Head Roller]

Welcome Air!

The best thing to do to get started... is to just get started! You will find a lot of great advise here in the forums and in the LEARNing center... and if you post specific questions, you are sure to get an answer right away. Pop into chat in the evenings and there are always a bunch of us hanging out.

[D-Man]

Welcome to the site!!!
Like HR said just get going!!!
Put some paint in that puppy and start spraying,just to get a feel for the brush.

[shane]

welcome! the only dumb question is the one you don't ask man! :cool2:

[shrek_tm]

Hello everyone! I'm new here and I have one question about how to join the Learn Academy live online class. Or is there any AB learning program I can take since I live so far away, in Vietnam. Thank you very much!

[bob mc]

The class takes place over the webcam and chat room simultaneously.

The Learns make a forum posting when a class is scheduled, and it is usually noted in the calender portion of the site webpage as well.

I believe the classes are open to any registered member.

Times are usually noted in US Mountain time zone times... so you might have to convert to find what local time to be there.

[mickeyracer]

Hey guys, been a fan of mr Learns work for a couple of years now, finally subscribed for 12 months yesterday, not sure if this is the right furum for this, but Hi to all anyway, site is unbelievable, we are always so far behind with this stuff in the UK:headbang:

nice job there Scott i presume, you might want to sharpen up some of the edges a little bit, like in the belly's of your licks and just a few sharper edges in the main body of your flame , it kind gives it depth! :biggthump

Hello.

[CUSTOM ZX-14]

HI ALL I AM NEW TO THE HOLE AIRBRUSHING THING AND WANTING TO GIVE IT A TRY...WHAT IS SOMETHING GOOD TO START OUT WITH AS FAR AS EQUIPMENT? SOMETHING CHEAP TO START OUT WITH...THANKS

[foundrymutt]

Hi there Custom ZX-14, let me be the first to welcome you. I'm a beginner myself. I gotta tell you, I've had several cheap airbrushes starting out. I was near the point of giving up, thinking that the problems I was having was just because I wasn't skilled enough, or that I just didn't have what it takes. Just recently I bought a Mojo airbush, and let me tell you, the control you get with this thing is awesome. Fine line work no longer becomes a scary issue. A nice added feature, is that it is the best, but it is not the highest airbrush on the market.

The good people who run this site, and that sell the Mojo, Mike and Diana, do not need me to push the Mojo on anyone. They sell plenty of them with out my input. What I'm saying is, I'm not trying to push the Mojo just because I like Mike and Di, or because I'm a member of this site, I'm just saying that if you buy a Mojo, and you're new to the airbrushing world, and there is even a speck of an artist living in your soul, you're going to find that artist and bring it to the top.

Well that's all I've got to say about that right now, welcome to the site, and I hope to see you around.

john

[Annie]

Welcome to the website Custom!
You will find a ton of information here for you to get started.
In order to steer you in the right direction, what do you want to paint? Automotive, T-shirts, canvas... Just need to know a little more to help you out!

Nice to meet you!
Annie :D

[Stray]

hiya dude *wave*


yay, i'm not the newest-of-the-new now!!!

[CUSTOM ZX-14]

thanks to all....I am looking to paint Automotive, streetbikes, helments, stuff like that...I really fell in love with the airbrushing after my sport bike...the work that he did was amazing I will put up some pics for yall to see...

[Annie]

If you are looking to airbrush only, it's one thing...if you wanna do the prep work, primer, sanding, basecoat and clear, it's another.
I'll answer the airbrush part for now. If you are buying your first airbrush and don't wanna spend a ton of money, I strongly reccomend the Peak C5. It's very versatile and allows you to do fine lines to a resonably large spray. Once you can handle this baby properly, it's time to invest in a Richpen Mojo. And if you wanna start with a bottle feed instead of the Peak C5, I recommend the Richpen Moflo.
If you will use uros (Base coat, automotive paints, solvent based) you will need a cartridge mask or an air adduction mask (this one needs a compressor to bring you fresh air).
You will need a compressor if you don't have one. If noise is a factor, go with Silentair. Make sure you buy one with an air reserve tank or else, it will heat up and might die. If you wanna be able to drive other tools like a sander, a regular size paint gun and such, get the biggest you can affoard and not an oiless one.
You will need stuff like tack rags, chalk, transfer paper, knifes, xacto, saral paper (to transfer ur design like carbon paper kinda).
Don't forget to buy a hose with your airbrush.
I hope this helps for now!

Annie :D

[CUSTOM ZX-14]

[chromewarrior555]

Aloha and welsome to da site. Those kind of compressions suck. You need something w/ a tank or tanks. DO NOT go cheap on the equipment. Like John said, you'll think it's you, and it not. I'm a proud Mojo owner, and like you I had to buy like 3 airbrushes before I found out the equipment make a difference.

[CUSTOM ZX-14]

do any of yall have any old eguipment you want to get rid of? cuz like i said before i dont want to spend a lot of money right off the bat..

[anderekel]

You can go to sears and get a small compressor with a tank, oil lubricated, for around 100 bucks. If you go to bear air you can get a paasche VL with all the different needles and nozzles and a few different cups/jars for 70 or so I think, it also comes with a hose, then all ya gotta do is buy a twenty or fifty foot hose, put a water/oil filter on the end of that, and you're good to go, well, with some paint and whatnot of course lol

[hasey]

Hi Guys, a lot will know me from the other site and for those that don't...Hi
