1. In this photo, the eagle is projected on the white Trans Am hood. The transfer mask pattern is cut lightly so as not to cut into the paint too deep. The dark areas in the photo will be unmasked and sprayed first. The darker areas are the projection light still shining on the paper. |
 |
2. Paint the blue into the first area and try to keep it just a
little weak in spots around the feather area to add depth to the look of the feathers. Then unmask the second section. |
 |
3. Here I'm spraying the second section. Use a little discretion here as you can overkill the artwork. This is where it gets a little exciting as the eagle is coming alive. |
 |
4. Unmask the second section and start lightly spraying the blue to create a dimension of depth to the picture to give it a 3D look. A light fogging at the edges works very well against the dark area painted in the picture 3.After you finish you can clear coat. |
 |
5, The finished hood. Can you see the 3D look? The light and dark
areas are more prominent in this photo. |
 |
6. The rear quarter post gets the same treatment as the hood. |
 |
7. Working closer and smaller requires a little more precision in your airbrushing. |
 |
8. I'm doing the white dots to create the bright highlights. |
 |
9. Here I am adding more dots to add a final touch of reflection to the eagle. |
 |
10. This is what the finished eagle looks like before clear coat and unmasking. |

11. The finished eagle. I love doing work like this as it gives me great pride to do it for a customer. Try it, you'll like it. |
