Airbrushing is a technique of drawing a picture on any surface with a special device - an airbrush. The most popular at the moment is the aerography of transport: cars and motorcycles.
Automotive airbrushing has long been a fairly common way to give a car a personality. Through the drawing, you can express the character of the owner of the car, and emphasize the beauty of the lines of the four-wheeled friend. In some ways, airbrushing is akin to tattooing, symbolizing an event in a person's life, only a drawing on a car can be painted over over time and applied something new.
The cost of applying an airbrush drawing depends on three important criteria: the size of the image, the fame and skill level of the artist, the condition of the car's paintwork.
Vehicle condition criterion
The condition of the car is the first thing that the master looks at when assessing the approximate cost of work. The surface should be perfectly flat, if there are any flaws (dents, scratches, chips), the cost of work will increase. If airbrushing of the hood is supposed, then it is possible that before painting it will be necessary to change not only all disposable parts, but also the hood as a whole. Saving at this stage can lead to the fact that the picture may come out "crooked" and "floated". Experienced craftsmen will not take to work with a car that has major defects.
Master level
The cost will also depend on the popularity of the particular artist or salon. Before choosing a salon in which airbrushing will be applied, you should look through their website on the Internet, a portfolio in the salon itself and talk to the masters. As a rule, good masters have diplomas from art educational institutions and have been doing airbrushing for several years (they can advise the style of drawing, color scheme, depending on the car model and its design).
Picture size
The most important thing in the cost of a drawing on a car is, of course, the size of the airbrush. Drawing on 1 detail (door, wing, etc.) will be inexpensive. The cost of such a drawing ranges from 15 to 30 thousand rubles. The cost of airbrushing the hood, roof or the whole side of the car starts from 35-40 thousand rubles and can reach 100 thousand, depending on the level of the master. The painting of the car is completely up to 300-400 thousand rubles and above. The price often does not include a sketch of the drawing and preparation of the car (washing, complete drying, polishing, etc.).
It should be remembered that the final price is always called by the master after inspecting the car and agreeing on the design and materials used.
