I love your works and the kindness of you posting details of how you do it. I'm a 73 year old Vietnam Veteran (101st Airborne 2/502 Inf, Vietnam 70-71) and I have been teaching airbrush techniques (first used an airbrush as a panel beater (Bump and Paint man) in 1964 in the USA. I got the old pinstriper to teach me how in 73 in exchange for me teaching him to airbrush...I got the better end of the deal...LOL. I've won many custom paint awards in the 80's here in Australia ... took my Australian Wife back home to visit in Michigan and went to the "Mack" brush company and left with a ton of new gear and a smaller wallet. Practicing on glass was how I did it... I painted one side a color and then mounted it on my booth wall. Practiced it at least an hour every other day. Hard part is the market places that were here in Sydney in th late 70's are gone. I get 75% of my gear from London and 25% from Letter Heads in the USA. A side note, I was lucky as I worked for DOD as the head "Bump and Paint" man for the 5th Army as a civilian employee and the base was on one of the Great lakes in Michigan...Tons of boats to do murals, gold leaf and some stripping, plus Detroit and all the dealership vans I did back then at my 3 car garage/spray booth at my house....It saddens me as I see so very little REAL stripe work or murals to personalize the younger gen's cars and bikes. Vinyl is all that I see these days... keep it going Jen ... sadly Agent Orange is winning my health battles and i'd rather be able to paint and teach then get a few bucks from the VA, even at a 100% ....
They don't do gold leaf on our fire trucks anymore. When they did that was years ago. I used to enjoyed watching the man do it. Haven't seen anyone do it till I started watching you.
