Custom Paint Job

GurgieTrueshot · 03-October-02, 09:37 AM

Im looking to put an ice dragon on the side of my case. However I don't have the artistic skill or the equipment to do this. I was wondering if there is somewhere I could take my case to get this done. I was thinking an auto shop but I don't know if they would do it or not. I also would like to know about how much it would cost. Any one have any Ideas.

I also know some people that could draw it for me but how would I go about painting on. The threads that I read seem to say that you need an air brush. We have an auto spray can that hooks up to our air compressor but I'm thinking that it is a little too big.

Any tips would be apriciated.

I run an auto body shop and have an airbrush artist that could paint one hell of a dragon. Keep watching our forums here, because we are painting a theme case for BZA, as soon as the UPS truck drops it off. That will at least give you an idea of what can be done.
There is a couple online places that can airbrush your case for you, if second best is what you need, then look around.

Insomniac, I just realized something, I didnt strip the old paint off of the case before shipping it to you, was i supposed to?

*edit* I just found out i got free sky-box seats to tonights FSU Clemson game and i *really* dont wanna be at work, so i am basically living on PR.com today, bear with me.

thanks

Looks like I might be able to pull this off. A friend of mine told me that his uncle owns an auto shop and might do it for me for the cost of the paint. And I'm almost sure I find someone to draw and awsome dragon for me so it looks like this might all work out in the end. Ill make sure I post some pics when im done with it.
