Today, a motorcycle is a slightly less popular means of transportation, unlike a car. But this is a very special vehicle. Those people who ride it devote a lot of time to the “iron horse”. Among sophisticated enthusiasts, motorcycle airbrushing is especially popular.
Modern tuning
Each motorcyclist tries to decorate his vehicle with dignity. And this can be understood. After all, a motorcycle reflects a person as a person, as well as his views. Motorcycle airbrushing helps make your dream a reality. It is beautiful and also affordable. Airbrushing is a painting technique that involves the use of a special tool called an airbrush (compressor and airbrush). Most often it is used to paint surfaces that are not characteristic of conventional use in the art of painting. That is, for example, it is used on the walls of houses, on laptops, on metal, stone, plastic, etc. It is worth noting that this technique can be said to be the only way to decorate your vehicle. It is aerography on motorcycles that withstands all the “side effects” that the road abounds with - flying stones, dirt, dust, potholes, speed.
Expert opinion
It should be noted that it is more difficult to perform tuning on a motorcycle than on a car. After all, there is less surface, moreover, a complex relief. Airbrushing specialists note that there are few well-designed motorcycles. It happens that this technique transforms the vehicle for the worse, and not for the better. Still experts say that with the help of computer 3D-programs it is unrealistic to figure out how, as a result, airbrushing will look on a motorcycle. But many owners decide on such a technology. Only in a personal conversation with a professional artist and an outline of the outline can you imagine how airbrushing on motorcycles will look like as a result. Sketches, by the way, should also be performed by specialists, because only they can take into account all the nuances of this procedure.
Popularity
It is worth noting that airbrushing on a motorcycle tank is the most popular - there is a good reason for this. The fact is that the tank is the largest surface that is constantly in sight. The most popular drawings are fantasy ones, as a rule. These are streams, fire, splashes, sparkling lines, the most incredibly curved on the tank. Still in demand is a style called “biomechanics”. This is an image of various monsters often found in Hollywood films. Often used in painting and Japanese style. But here it should be borne in mind that it looks most spectacular on Japanese models.
Technology
A process such as motorcycle airbrushing is performed using a device specifically designed for this. This is an airbrush and compressor that supplies air to the device. In this way, paint is sprayed. Having chosen the necessary version of the drawing, you should prepare the motorcycle for applying the painting itself. In the event that airbrushing is performed on the tank, it will need to be removed from the motorcycle - it is inconvenient to paint on the unit itself. It is first cleaned, and then treated with an abrasive to remove a layer of varnish. It is very important that the surface is matte. After that, it is marked out according to the sketch. Then, stencils are made from the photo, and their number should be equal to how many layers of paint will be applied. Well, then it’s up to the professionals. It is best to turn to specialists, since a person who does not have experience in this business may not decorate his motorcycle, but spoil it.
