Well i'm into music and BMXing (not much at moment as cheap stock bike which is a little damaged at the moment) and i was wondering what would it take to take art in a different way, spraying Bikes. What would i need to use? i was thinking airbrushing but as far as i know and im not familiar the paint is weak and it will need to be deep in colour as it will be sprayed on metal.

It sounds like an airbrush is the way to go.

that was the only thing i could think of as you can blend things with an airbrush, well fade thigns into other colours. The only other solution was spray paint but i dont think that can be accomplished with the flow and paint. How much would an airbursh cost and the paint to spray on metal, maybe plastics for other stuff (e.g. fibreglass)

Well it wotn be a striaght away thing, but as i thought back quite a while of doing up a BMX, this never went ahead as i have no job so dont earn much money and the cheapest frame you can buy a decent complete bike accept there not made for ramp use just really everyday travel (for example my bad baracuda mojo BMX, has had several tears in inner tubes, bulged rims, bad stock parts such as handlebars and then now stopping me riding it is the bearings). Soon im thinking of putting my name down for a paperound or soemthing whicha few of my friends do, one has managed to buy 3 phones they were cheap but not dirt cheap 2 were second hand and hes bought himself several CDs and minidisc player. They are not exactly the dearest of things but are decent which proves a paperound is more decent than people think. Im selling my gameboy and PS2 but i only reckon ill get £300 out of both of them, the PDA i want is £240 then i need an SD card and Bluetooth adapter, thus i cant buy myself a new bike. I was thinking of getting hold of a new bike from one of the actual Good makes in my BMX mags. Therefore if this does happen hopefully i can purchase a cheap airbrush and that and restore my other one with new parts accept the frame which a new will be builts upon, this would be a new paintjob and such. Maybe i could make myself a little money if it goes successfull by selling and building up new ones and such.
