Some motorists make their "ironfriend "more original and exclusive, using one of the techniques of fine art - airbrushing. It involves drawing an image with a powder or liquid dye that is under pressure (a can of paint).
What people do nothing to stand out amongof the total mass. After the 20s of the last century, aerography began to develop actively in the USA, for the first time the people of America saw in the streets the painted motorcycles of Harley Davidson. A little later, airbrushes began to draw on the casings of racing cars, and a few years later they switched to conventional cars. But aerography, as an art technique, was noticed in the 60's, from that time it became popular among Americans. What is necessary to do aerography? Of course, you should be able to draw beautifully or at least to draw. First you have to select the image that you want to apply to your "iron friend". Be individual in your choice, some companies involved in aerography will pick up the picture not only based on your preferences, but also the design of the car, because an inappropriate picture can "kill" the look of your car. After that, you should inspect the place where the drawing will be applied - it should be smooth and without scratches. If there are any defects on the surface, they must be removed with special tools, soil, putty and paint, which is suitable for the color of your car. As a rule, it is better to provide this work to specialists, since you can do something wrong, and subsequently the drawing will lie unevenly. When the surface is ready, grate it with a sandpaper until it is smooth. It is necessary for the image to lie flat. Next, using a paint sprayer (airbrush), apply the sketch according to the sketch, remember that the thinner the jet of air with small drops of paint, the more accurate the picture will be. At the end, cover the image with varnish and let it dry completely. Typically, this whole procedure takes about three weeks.
