Default Who has custom air brushing?

I saw many cars today at my show with custom air brushing. It is simply amazing the work these guys can do. The problem as I see it, since it is expensive, and permanent, you have to pick the right design if you go that route. I would like to see pics and get feedback from those who had similar done. Any kind of custom paint/pin stripe work along with how you ?I may do something this winter (when these guys are slow) but I want ideas, feedback on how to proceed. I know of several artists around here, but picking the RIGHT look will be a challenge. gary

Go to www.cardomain.com and do a member search for PTRON2003. I have some pics from Daytona in my album. The airbrushed artwork is AMAZING!

Slightly off topic Gary, but I did find a cool site with lots of graphics and winshield decals for the PT.

How hard do you think it would be to clean and maintain their vinyl flames? Any sort of pre-install wash or wax that you could recommend?

Personally I would have someone install them, you need to wash with with natured alcohol and H2o to clean it first, too much money involved if you lined it up wrong. Gary

Gary,

I should have taken some better shots of one of Jacksonville PT Cruisers that came to Orlando for our indoor show. It was a Ron Jon special with custom airbrushing all over it including this flip style hood shot of a Hula Dancer.
