artist help needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

hello everyone, I am trying to decide what I am going to do about the paint job on my project truck. I was thinking about painting it back to the stock bronze color, but that would be to easy. I am building a show truck, and I think the paint should be something that should stand out in a croud.

Anyway I was thinking about something with the american flag draped across the hood and fenders, or something like that. I dont have any idea on how it should look or nothing, I just wanted something with the american flag. mabe with something with an american flag and soldiers. or the skeletons of soilders with the american flag burning. one soilder from each branch of the armed services. I want something that says our country is unbeatable even after death. if that makes any since.

If anyone can help that would be great. I plan on having the drawing air brushed on my truck. I hope that someone can help with this issue. I will be getting the truck painted in like a year, so there is plenty of time to think about this. Thanks Landon

That's a pretty tall photoshop order. You might try contacting Blaz-air to see if/when his new application is ready. What he was developing sounds very slick and much easier to use than photoshop.

Its ready. He has since partnered with House of Kolor on it. I believe its in the range of like $4500. You could try contacting a rendering artist if you wanted to get real serious with it.

Hey I'm a wiz in photoshop...hows this?

tom hand · 07-24-2003, 06:44 PM

Actually that is a friends truck and it is an old picture...it now has 9-11 on the bed cover

landon4421 · 07-25-2003, 10:19 AM

bouncytruck, I was not looking for the photoshop thing. I was looking for someone that can draw it. Thanks for the advice.

paintpyro, do you have a paint shop? I need some one to paint my truck, do you have any ideas? I will try and get a hold of Blaz-air, to see what he has going on.

tom hand, your friends truck looks good but it is not what I am looking for. Close though. Thanks guys Landon

Landon,

How about having your avatar draped all over your truck???????

landon4421 · 07-25-2003, 11:25 AM

that would be sweet but not what I am looking for. Thanks

miket · 07-25-2003, 11:28 AM

just kiddin'...

paintpyro · 07-25-2003, 11:47 AM

Landon, I'm afraid not, my username is more of a dream than a reality. One of the best airbrush artists in the country is in Bakersfield, but he is pricy. His name is Craig Fraser. He owns Air Syndicate.

landon4421 · 07-25-2003, 11:55 AM

paintpyro, thanks I will look into talking to him. I am looking for the best. or atleast close to the best. money is no object.:p

I put this the wrong way kind of. Money is an object, but I have time to save. I am looking for the right guy and the right paint scheme.

So money is an object.
