Default Custom Airbrush Artwork

As I've said in the pictures section, My Bro. Sam Nelson, http://www.flickr.com/photos/3675944...7615849196551/, is an old time airbrush Guru. For many years he had a shop at Daytona Beach, Fl. I met him when I was working at an airport awhile back, where he'd done a beautiful mural of an eagle on one of their OH-6 Helicopters. http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/photo/165395.html. Recently, when I finally found a full face helmet (XXXXL) large enough to protect my oversized noggin! I called him to see if he'd do some patriotic artwork on it. The economy had just put him out of work, and I was one of his first customers at his new shop. I rode my Yammy C3 Scooter the 45 miles over to his house today, and left my front and side covers for him to continue the theme he'd put on my helmet. I'll have them back and reinstalled by Friday, and post pics for you to view. His new phone # is 334 403 8867 Give him a call and get a really good price, & quick service, before word gets out that he's back in business and he gets covered up! Gabe

It's a gift from God... You've either got it , or you don't..... It's amazing to watch him take the same artwork he's just put onto a helmet, and paint it on a wall. Or, on a building, without having to measure anything!

It varies according to what you want done. All orders include your paying for either Fedex, USPS, or UPS charges both ways. Plus, whatever he charges for your particular work. Best thing for you to do is call Sam at 334 403 8867 ....Or, email him at havegunz@gmail.com> Gabe

Work like that doesn't come cheap. I have a friend (owns an indie M/C shop in New Milford, CT) who does airbrushing. He once quoted me $100.00/hr and estimated 8 to 10 hours for the work I wanted. Of course this was back in 2000, right after he took second in the Daytona Rats Hole 650 and under class for a custom Bonniville. Might be able to negotiate a better deal these days.
And his work isn't as good as Sam's.

Default www.havegunz.com Custom airbrush work....

Thanks! It was a nice day, so I rode my C3 scooter, sans panels and covers, the 45 miles to Sam's house yesterday. Business is daily improving, as word gets out that he's back in business again & he's kinda covered up. So, It's going to be monday or tuesday before I get my panels back on my scooter. I'll take pics and post them then. Blessings, Gabe
