read moreCustom rifle paint work.
This is a custom rifle we painted for a gentleman from CastleRock CO. He came to us with a rifle stock he had dipped in mossy oak style camo and said he wanted something better, so we did it. We used the camo as an underlay of a black ripped open cover with airbrushed deer skulls all over it. Fun...
read moreBMW Z4 custom airbrushed dash.
Some step by step and how to’s of airbrush art we do. This piece is for a BMW Z4 we lightly customized for a client. She said she wanted dragons, smoke and skulls. I took a little influence from Fitto and his great contrast of black and white with color. This is the digital design. Using photoshop, I start with an image of the part and build the whole piece digitaly for three reasons. One is to show the client to make sure it is what they want. Two is to know what I am going to do in the beginning, not as I go, and I can estimate price. Three is COMPOSITION. Detail is important but...

Chris came to us with the idea of smoke and skulls. We here that a lot, so I began asking him some more questions about his inspiration. Through our conversation he mentioned that his son is way into snakes and the light came on in my head. I said “What about a snake skull and skeleton with smoke around it?” he was stoked. So I did a little google images searching, found a cool rattlesnake skeleton and ran with the design. As we developed his artwork he mentioned that he wanted to see what blacked out wheels and pipes would look like so I did that too and came up with...

Josh came to True Kustom with a cool little bobber he has been building himself. A 2007 Vstar 1100, cut trimmed and ready for paint. We wrapped for a few minutes and came up with a cool design for him based on a helmet he had. A sugar skull and pinstripes. Some tasty airbrush work and some smooth stripes laid down under some flat clear made this little scoot a nice little ride. Now we are just waiting for some finished images form the...

Kevin came to True Kustom lookin for our custom stretched saddlebags and rear fender cover and ended up with a cool custom paint job as well. As usual, we start of with a client consultation which ends up giving me the ideas to build a pre-design, this is it. Kevin is a PDR guy, if you dont know what that is, he fixes hail dents without repainting the car. This design is a stylized super cell thundercloud with hail falling. Of course Kevin ordered up a set of ”Standards” stretched saddlebags and a rear fender cover to bring his bagger up to speed. So, we built him a set,...
