Greg Price has been building this for years .. I received the body in a white basecoat and it took an estimated 300 hours to paint all the colours and do all the artwork .. PPG Basecoat . system all sponsored by PPG . All the artwork is airbrushed!
Robs Autospray ( Rotorua) handled the clear and finishing..
The gambling theme is due to Drag Racing being a gamble and its a Chev Monte Carlo body.. Cant wait to see it on the racetrack !!!!!

Two weeks of big hours to airbrush about 40 sg metres of "The mythology of the Phoenix" for Mark and Julie, a lovely couple from Taranaki, NZ. The story moves from the left front with the Phoenix slowly "dying, then rising from the ashes, flying away

Neil's Nissan is called Riders on the storm and he loves horses, so here is his tailgate.

Shaun Loves Tigers! He has Tatts all over to represent family and he wanted a Tiger exploding out of the water airbrushed on his '71 Ford Torino bonnet.
Very cool Car and a cool guy, so it was my pleasure to do this work.

This truck was given away to a lucky punter at BEACH HOP 2011.
Organiser, Noddy asked Geno in Taupo to panel, paint and reassemble.
Geno asked me to design, mask and airbrush the flames on his beautiful black base, (he also sprayed the yellow pearl and awesome 2pac clear).
We had a ball doing it, then The Amazing Charlie Allen pinstriped the flames.
A great team effort for one lucky person!!!
Thanks for all the great FACEBOOK feedback

This is the dash from Dave Packers NEW Race Car - Full Metal Jacket 2.
Full Metal Jacket was a Holden Monaro that Dave built and successfully raced a few years ago.
FMJ 2 is a Holden Torana GTR XU1 which Dave is making an outstanding job of building.
The dash is handmade and he has chosen a wicked "peel back" paint look, which will also be the full car paint scheme.
Everything you see here is airbrushed!!! including the GTR sign, the "gas axed XU1", and the "hex head machine screws"

Ray is doing a total rebuild on his Stockcar.
First thing to do was to airbrush the welded alloy dashboard with a burred Walnut look (ala Jaguar)
Now looks like his dash was carved from one peice of wood!!!!

Rotorua Hearing clinic Kirsty Gerlach hearing wanted their advertising to stand out, so decided to change their Honda CRV wagon to a California Woodie complete with surfboard to attract attention, and it sure does that now!!!
Painted woodgrain panels on sides complete with coachbolts and woodframing, then woodgrained the old Kneeboard.

Gandolf in action with his army defending the castle with his mighty "chev powered sword" now fills half this great big "canvas".
Well known hot rodders Owen and Dianne wanted to pep up the look of their cool 'chev so wanted Gandolf put on the trunk.

They had previously tried other airbrush painters who couldn't seem to get to grips with their ideas.

They had the lid back on the car 10 days after they dropped it off to me - all done and everybody happy.
Net Folks-Enjoyed job

Carols always wanted a "different" car , preferably a convertible and with artwork on, Dragons and Angels for a start!

So she bought the car, found two drawings of angels, then found my website and the fact she lives 300 kms away didnt stop her from putting it all together

When she picked the car up she said it was "more than she expected" and " looks "far better than the (progress) pics"

New Plymouth will never be the same!!

Ron wanted a sunset surf scene on the dash of this beatifully customised Porsche powered Vee Dub Rocketship.
Looked good with the dash filled and moulded

Pic taken before clear applied .

This was an image of his lovely wife that Ben wanted me to airbrush on his showcar bonnet. Photos taken before 2pac clear went on

I enjoy doing portraits in silver tones, the result is a really graphic look. I look forward to seeing this on the showcar circuit!!
