Airbrushed vinyl

[wwpro 1]

Just a quick one I made just to try my airbrushing "skills" combined with some vinyl work.

Is not removable vinyl but I just don't care

I have some Createx airbrush paint, but on that I used some cheapo paint from Wal*mart, just for practice.

Ive read that Createx make one thats called "auto air" and supposedly works well for this. Has additives available for curing, and adhesion.

And it needs a top (clear) coat.

I would think any plastic friendly paint like krylon fusion or such would bond with the vinyl quite well.

I like that !! IT made me wanna give it a shot too . White vinyl /Badger pearl blue and purple fade /Duplicolor clear  . I got some lift but I think that I should wait 24 hours for the paint to cure before I stack next time .

A light scuff with a grey scotchbrite will help with adhesion.

Looks great by the way!

Looks Good Marek.  What's that font?, I'm sure I've got it but can't remember the name

I'm liking this idea - especially if I can do it with just spraypaint.

I'm going to cut a quick test and put it on my car, see how it holds up.

@ JoeBlow - It's " Minster No 3 " There are 5 of them but 3 looks fancy and still cuts decent in small scale .

does anyone know if can I use acrylic epoxy or acrylic lacquer(spray paint in cans)? thanks

here is the pdf that I found over year ago that made me try it.

I used krylon fusion and it works best I thought. I would drain from can and run thru airbrush.

all the work looks great!

Thanks for the info Marek it's a great looking font.

Thanks for posting the PDF Joe.  Butch "Super Frog" Anton had a great video I bought years ago on using a spay can or rattle gun as he called it with a piece of cardboard for graduating it.  I tried it for a couple of jobs.  Spray be before you weed or the overspray sticks to the application tape and gets onto your substrate.

I've painted vinyl a few times, but have only tried on Oracal 651.  I scuffed with gray scothbrite and hit with adhesion promoter before painting.

Duplicolor Acrylic Enamel

Turned out nice, but I don't trust rattle can clear.  I've had trouble with the duplicolor clear with airbrush projects.  If you touch it with lotion on your hands it gets soft...ruined a computer mouse I did.

Urathane Automotive Paint

Added flex agent.  Turned out nice, but the vinyl shrank a little.  Don't know how long the paint will last on this one.

I have Createx, Auto Air, and One Shot that I'll be testing with eventually.
