Opinions Needed... Fair price for airbrush
Just curious to hear what you guys..and gals... think is a fair price to airbrush artwork on both sides of a tank? Just airbrush, no base coat work.
I know there are lots of variables, but at what price is it a YES I want to do that, and at what price do you think NO, not really for me.
I am not shopping a quote or anything, just curiosity.
Thanks

How complicated? You want a picture, something like flame or tribal, text, fade, geometric shapes?
Depending on the job and talent of the artist I'd estimate somewhere in the $50 to $5000 ballpark.

My friend got a tank done by an air brush guy in Langhorne PA (the guy did some bikes that were is magazines and has some custom cars in magazines under his belt too), The cost was $2,600. I thought my buddy was out of his mind agreeing to that price!!
He had a grim reaper done on the top of the tank, some graphics on the sides and a rock band made up of skeletons on his rear fender. I thought $1,000 should have been more than enough.
And I would add, I personally don't think the airbrush "Artist" is half as good as he likes to think he is. I've seen better work.
And yes, this was only for the actual airbrush work. The tank had already been painted.

I had an eagle and flag done on my fairing for $250. Looks good. The whole job, repaint the blue on the faring, real flames on white part of fairing, front fender, tank, side covers, saddle bag lids and trunk lid was $1350. I thought this was a good deal.
