Tuning vehicle with airbrushing is familiar with all, but, only some of them know that this process is. Aerography is an ideal way to breathe new life into the car, highlight it from the gray mass and change beyond recognition. In addition, it is not at all difficult to make it yourself.

Airbrush on machines

Many motorists believe that airbrushing is a clear definition of the figure, which is applied to the metal surface of the vehicle, but this is not entirely correct. The term Aerography covers much more areas of artistic painting and has only one distinctive feature - a brush for applying, which is called an airbrush.

Aerography is a picturesque art art technique that applies an airbrush as a toolkit for applying a powdered or liquid dye using compressed air to any surface.

Can also be used by the paint can.

As a result of the widespread dissemination of airbrushes and the appearance of a large number of diverse compositions and colors, the airography has a new impetus for development. Today, airbrust is used to create retouching photographs, picturesque canvases, models, taxidermia, wall painting, textile painting, nail painting, body art, painting, painting toys and souvenir products, motorcycles, cars and other equipment, in design, in printing and so on.

With the help of a thin layer of paint with the possibility of its smooth spraying on the surface, it is possible to achieve ideal decorative effects, in particular, smooth transitions of color, volume, photographic realism of the resulting image, as well as, imitation of a coarse texture with flawless surface smoothness.

Another errorship of most car owners is the opinion that airbrushing is only rich, and, respectively, expensive cars. And the speech here is not about the airbrushes caused by canisters, with violated technology and so on. Sometimes the appearance of such airbrushing pushes passersby at all to look at it, as on art, not to mention the desire to make something like that.

Undoubtedly, rates for high-quality airbrushing are really considerable. However, every car enthusiast can independently make a similar tuning of the vehicle, having only basic drawing skills, and it will cost it several times cheaper.

How to make airbrushing yourself

An independent airbrust of the car implies the right choice of an airbrush, for which you should pay attention to such parameters:

1. When choosing such a tool, the diameter of the nozzle for the receipt of paint is most important. In this case, take into account the area you want to paint. To apply the background, the tool is well suited, the diameter of which is 0.35 millimeters, and for applying the main elements, an airbrush with a diameter of 0.2 millimeters is perfect.
2. Paint feed type should be selected depending on the location of the tank:
   Feed without a tank - This type of tool is designed to supply the paint with the tip of the brush with a special side slot immediately on the needle. Such an airbrush is ideal for frequent variables of paint. In addition, it can be used to work with small images.
   Siphon feed - in this case, the tank is located below or on the side. Tools of this type allow you to apply a wider potential in the work of the recreated needle. The use of replaceable tanks can facilitate working with different colors. However, more powerful compressors are needed by these types of airbrushes.
3. Gravitational feed - in this case, the tank is located on top. The paint is jumped due to the pressure of gravity and pouring in the nozzle. This type is relevant for compressors with a small power.
4. Pay special attention to the form of the design of the juro - airbrushes automata, airbrushes of ordinary and dual action.

1. As a rule, the drawing is applied with an airbrush, sometimes with a special pencil or brushes.
2. Consumables include the desired colors of nitrocale, nitrolac and solvent.

applying car airbrushing, work stages

1. First of all, you should choose a photo or a picture based on personal preferences.
2. Then it is necessary to determine the location of the drawing on the vehicle - the hood, the door or even half of your car.
3. After that, we need to consider the vehicle for corrosion or scratches. If such defects exist, they should be primed.
4. Next, find the appropriate room for painting. It should be well lit, closed and without dust.
5. Now with the help of nitro-paints we apply a drawing. This stage is the most responsible. You can pre-cook stencils, if not confident in your drawing abilities. The drawing should be applied by parts, and the unused part of the vehicle must be accurately close to the film.
6. When the drawing is complete, it is necessary to wait for a complete surface drying and cover the vehicle with a special varnish.

Undoubtedly, you may prefer another type of airbrushing - applying a film with a photo or a pattern. This method among car owners is the most popular, since it does not require the skills of possession of the brush or creating drawings. In this case, you need to prepare a vehicle, dismantle unnecessary elements, after which degreases the working surface. Then we gently glue the film with a pattern or photo. To protect the drawing from damage to a mechanical nature, it should be covered with a protective varnish.

It is worth noting that the airbrushing with their own hands is able to become an exciting hobby, thanks to which you can not only tuning your vehicle, but also make money on car design, other types of transport or household surfaces.
