lol thanks...you should do a mailbox...i paid ten bucks for mine...it had a dent i had to fix...but its kind cool....i'd think about trading you my airbrush for your sub/amp/HU but i think u'd be loosing to much...lol...plus i'm not positive i wanna get rid of it. BTW the shop i work at is really small...its just the owner, his wife(book-keeper), a main body guy, a main mechanic, a clean-up girl and me. Which i do anything from fixing dents and stuff to brake jobs and small mechanical stuff. they don't even have a real paint-booth, its just a seperate room and an exhuast fan. But they do do very good work. And nothing leaves if its not up to par with the boss...just an example the other day we did a 06 impala, cress in the front door and we painted/blended both passenger side doors...well after i'd scuff and buffed it and was about to send it to the cleanup girl, my boss noticed a hair and some dust in the paint, and we had to repaint it so i looked better...but i konw alot of shops around here woulda kicked that car out justlike it was. I really like where i work. sorry for the long post...lol

Fire looks pretty good! I would say a little less on the circles, that would give it more of a fluid natural look. Other wise, its way better than I could perform, that is why I paid someone to paint the flames on my car. I am good at tapping and straight line stuff. Nothing in artistic forms.

soon i am going to get an iwata airbrush kit idk they are around 329 from a site i know and it comes with a bunch of stuff ... i wish i worked at a shop like yours. my buddy and me are tryen to get some cash 2geather so we can build a small paint booth he is a great painter !! him and i have some real good ideas on stuff and we love to work on it but its hard to find some small jobs that people want us do do .. esp without a paint booth at the moment. so hopefuly after college i am gonna try to get some cash 2geather and start a small busness and i can tell you this ... its gonna be about quality of the work .. it makes me sick sometimes to see at my job how they send stuff out of the door ... i think umfan knows what im talken about when he got his car back after his wreck lol

yea...i think my true fire looks like honeycomb in the middle...lol its gay but it still kinda looks cool. I'd love to open up my own shop someday, but i don't really see that happening for a while...after i get my own place i'd like to do side jobs and what not out of my garage(that would be after getting my own place). But yea at my shop they do collision and old cars...right now my boss is redoing a 56 covette...appraised at $190,000!!!! its sweet...
