Heya zapman, first off I'd like to say what a nice job you've done on your case, better than just plain (beige?). I've got a beige full tower and it looks really plain. I'm just getting into air brushing myself but have been meaning to snazz it up a bit. I've got a lil' Badger 350 air brush that I've been practicing with. Do you have any tips for an aspiring artist? Thanks,

Believe you me, this was my 5th big airbrush image I rendered (and 1airbrush image won at State), So I am also a Starter in the Airbrush World, Yet I can offer you Little Tips and Tricks I picked up;

For Airbrushing on Metal (pc case)
DO SANDING!!! First!
Sand that sucker dry, if you want the paint to stick and stay stuck
Ok you got it down smooth to baby but smooth with a little After-shave hair?
(Can find Sanding Paper at K-Mart, Wal-Mart 1.99)
Next, make sure you got all the Nicks and nacks out! Because we are ready to Airbrush!
1st you need 2 to 3 layer of "BASE COTES" (I use 2 cotes of Createx Auto Air Paints Base Coat White)
LET EACH COTE DRY! On less, you want your art to be pealing off! Well your airbrushing it
Then your ready to Airbrush,
Use AUTO PAINT for this project.
(Createx make nice paints)
Ohm and also you want to Do Light to Dark because the paint is not very transparent.
Meaning you will also will need to use Paint Brush for final Details.

For Airbrushing on Paper,
Try to find Smooth "COLD press" paper to airbrush on.
Use Transparent Colors work Light To Dark.

Try Airbrushing Freehand allot! cut down on the Frisked Use. Try some Templates.

BTW: you can get all your art supplies at http://www.dickblack.com I love them!, boy do they do a Heck of a job on Packing they gave me a Big ol box for a little Fine tip Brush. =)

I also have a Badger 350, along with Vega2000 and another Badger airbrush.
Some airbrush sites: http://www.airbrush.com http://www.airbrushaction.com http://www.airbrushartmagazine.com http://www.airbrushheadquarters.com

Well that�s my book of the week =)
