Got to Airbrush a Cuda!
 
I was really excited about this and wanted to post it, I got a chance to Paint and Airbrush this 68Barracuda 10.0 Beast. Front fender and hood painted to match with black scoope-medford speed logo airbrushed on scoope and barracuda airbrushed on the sides. Came out great and super cool-best part is i get to Airbrush the rear with my info!!! Sweet, let me know what you think....

Def not sckulls this time

you can draw and got a steady hand with that fish i can tell that...not my cup of tea honestly....kind of doesnt flow with the car in my opinion. the fish looks clean though....the lettering not so much :nod: good job

I will admit the lettering could of been better- and would of just did something simple-but it was like an add on...lol...and Carmen (owner) said he wanted a "wrote on look"

Either way- I think i would like to better with the letters or maybe just stencil them.
just hate to cause i have yet to use one and am trying to keep everything an honest free hand.

With flow? you mean body lines-Car image or the position of fish?

Honestly i am very happy with the overall results of the project and the look, but am very open to suggestions to improve on.
for the next and the next and the next!!!!

You have talent, and you do a great job, but I think the owners dumb for having that airbrushed on that car, hell having anything airbrushed on a Cuda! but nice job none the less

Very nice job. You are very talented, but if it was my car i would have left it alone...
Are you referring to the Medford Speed on Red Lion Rd in Southampton?

the flow thing i was talking about was that when i saw the fish i was like ''ooh thats sweet i hope its gonna be curved over the wheel wells''.....then i saw it and was like AWWW.
the fish is badass though, maybe talk with the owner about putting a small swirl under the fish so it looks like its jumping out of water with a touch of blue swirl in in the black swirl :twisted:

That is a good thought. And Since its cleared already- I could do just that to show him the idea with out actually changing the picture completely. And if it something he likes then- I can just add it.

Thanks for the thoughts.

Yes, That is the shop that did his new motor.

BlackTopKing 11-01-2010 08:29 PM
Thanks to everyone, for the kind words. Means alot to me and i hope that this helps me get more opportunities to do more. I have to admit i think i am getting better each time-but think its a confidence thing. The Cuda was super sweet before and i was like...Whoa...you want me to do what!!!
Plus trying to do something with in the limits that people allow you to work with makes it challenging.
I do like your guys input so i will keep posting anything more that i do.

They do, and its a shame- he had the last motor done from anyother company that charged for work that wasnt done and claimed they used parts that werent installed...
Bad Bad Bad move- once it all came to be, it was a mess getting everything back and squared away!

so in the mist of all that- medford speed did a great job from what i was told!
building the alcohol drinking small block!

So wish it was in the TransAm

The transfer from paper to paint shows your skill, but the barracuda is just an ugly fish.

lol....

Thanks man, thats a funny point- i wouldnt say that its a pretty fish, but i guess some people like ugly.

I mean, i think lion fish are just wild and breath taking-(owned a bunch in my time) but alot of people have said its pretty and alot have said its ugly...

either way could of been a gold fish (color of the cuda, kinda close) lol
