Alright guys, so i have a pewter denim Street Bob and want to get some WWII era nose art similar to what you would see on a B-29/B-17. Does anyone know someone who would be good for this, preferably in the Washington DC metro area?

 

not in that area... i have a buddy that is going to do mine on my rear fender... i am having a pin up of my girl done, she is going to be sitting on 2 dice that after i fill in my rear fender will be my flush mount tail light... when i was looking for someone to do this i went into tatoo shops and asked if any of the artists did air brush on the side...met someone that did and he ended up loving bikes! i ride with him on occasion... this way when i fill in the rear fender, i can have that area covered with the air brush work and then clear it, i will not have to re paint my whole fender this way!

 

Yeah i was thinking about going down to a few shops and doing just that. I wonder what steps will have to be taken to airbrush the Denim with out losing the matte look on the areas not airbrushed.

 

ahh that is easy anyone that is decent with a brush can handle this

 

I saw a bob on ebay once. Was air brushed to look like an old plane. It was by some "famous" air brusher in tn... Dont remember the name but i was able to find stuff about him with a quick search, had the name at that time.

Man it was sweet. Had pannels brushed on with rivits and everything. Even did some "wear" areas brushed in.

Wish i would have saved a pic of that bob, but didnt.

Another place to look would be at a hobby store that sells air brush equipment. Maybe they know someone... Or auto paint stores, or car customizers... Low rider and custom truck shops especially...
