Airbrush art...
Good news guys! for those of you who are avid blue bonnet haters...! A guy at work does air brushing and he wants to do some work on my car! Free of
charge of coarse, he just wants to get back into it. he has been at me for ages to give him my bonnet but i cant decide on anything i want.
So i'm in need of some ideas??
I was thinking of something like this today... I am looking at something i can carry on through the guards and possibly the rest of the car....
But i was also just thinking of doing some sort of evil herbie type theme.... a tasteful one?? With similar sort of graphics as herbie but all
tattered and torn... I dont know.
Any ideas??

Try a different colour to the orange / yellow....maybe some shades of grey & silver,
that will pick up the wheel colour & chrome, you could substitute the skull for a stylised VW emblem also,
Yes i know it's not the TRUE colour of fire, but it will work & you can make it as subtle or bright as you want.
i have two black utes with green flames on one & blue flames on the other, they are not over the top, but look the goods, not to mention the kids
pedal cars !

I like the flames, but the skull scream little man syndrome to me. All these so called tough C***s with them on there cars look like wankers that
would cry to mummy if they ever saw a dead body.
Why not use the flames with just the VW logo like suggested instead of looking like everyone else?
If you wanted to get really tricky, I have seen one done with flames coming up the bonnet with the water drop effect at the top with steam/smoke
effect where they met. Was on a truck though, so slightly bigger canvas area to work with.

If it was on a street car/ daily driver i probably wouldn't put skulls on it either.... But being a race car? Its definatley not about trying to make
myself look tough lol! Anyone who knows me knows Im not like that. Its about making the car look bad Ass! i saw some of his work this morning and its
amazing! I think Im just gonna let him run with it.....

I should of said your bug will look tough!
I personally don't feel any tougher if i had flames its something i like and like others have said if you new me you would see as far back as 1988
all my surfboards, skate boards had flames or the iron cross spray'd or stuck on them. I know there are people out there that do it for the looks but
not all of us are like that.

If you didn't want the skull a iron cross would look good as well. Either way it will look the goods

Yeah, i don't do stock....
Still think the silver & shades of grey (dark & light) would work really well with your car
get the guy to do some mock up colours on some board with black background so you can see if it works & if you like it,
easier than living with something you are not 100% on just because it was free

Hey mate,
I don't mean to offend, I like flames and love the idea of the iron cross.
I just fins all the skulls, skeletons, etc... really daggy as everyone has them because they think they are cool.
It no longer means you are a hard arsed bikey with tatts like it used to, just that you want to be part of the club.
