What people have not invented in order to express their own individuality in the car - from intricate trinkets on the windshield and rearview mirror, and ending with comprehensive tuning. Meanwhile, the car decoration industry is not standing still, and today you can not only give it individuality but also embody in your iron horse your own artistic tastes, thanks to the emergence of airbrush.
From the history of the question.
Aerography is a special method of spraying artistic images on the surface. If you think that the first appearance of airbrushing dates back to our millennium, we hurry to surprise you - the method is more than 9300 years old, and the first traces of its use were found in the caves of ancient people. Then they used their mouths to spray their paintings on the walls. A hollow bone was used to direct the flow of paint. The birth of the mechanical airbrush dates back to 1876. Later it was modified several times, during which it gradually got a manual and later a mechanical compressor. It is noteworthy that since 1893 the design of the airbrush does not differ from modern analogs.
Image application technology
In addition to the airbrush, your car is decorated with special paints (usually nitronitrocellulose, enamels and varnishes) and stencils that allow you to apply the pattern accurately and precisely. The process itself is up to impossible simple, maybe that's why many motorists are trying their hand at decorating their cars. Initially, you choose the drawing, which will be your reflection in the style of the car. On its basis stencils are created, paints are selected.
Drawing of drawing occurs in some receptions, depending on the quantity of applied colors of paint and the complexity of the image. When performing airbrush stencils are not applied tightly, but only close to the surface, it helps to avoid tedious leaks. After applying each layer, the drawing is cleaned of small crumbs, which are inevitably formed in the process of spraying the paint. At the end of the drawing is opened with varnish - voila!
Choose the image
As a rule, your own fantasy is your restriction here, however, if you have decided to trust a specialist, the choice of the image should be especially careful, because today's airbrush is still quite expensive, so repainting the surface of your car because of the unsuccessful choice of the image at least costly. It is not necessary to make a drawing, which you saw on someone else's car, according to your wishes the master can always create a unique design, which will testify to your originality and will be unique.
The attitude of the traffic police to aerography
We all know the skeptical attitude of the traffic police towards our attempts to make our cars unique. At first, the eternal struggle was waged for the right to tint the glass (however, it is still going on), then for tuning, and today the turn has reached the airbrush. The main requirements are as follows:
- The drawing on a bodywork should not imitate coloring of special-purpose cars
- Its volume should not exceed 30% of the car's bodywork
- If the entire surface of the body is painted, the color must be the same as that in the documentation
- The image must not contain immoral or degrading elements or advertising (it requires the authorization of the services concerned)
- If the color of the car changes dramatically, it is necessary to apply to the Road Traffic Police for the relevant permits and amendments to the documentation
Thus, there are no tangible obstacles to the "rebirth" of your car, so go ahead, to self-expression!
