I guess it depends on a lot of factors, not the least of which is: how good is this guy? Does he have any references or pictures of previous jobs? Also, how does airbrushing hold up compared to wraps? Is it more durable?
Over $7000 seems a bit high for a full body wrap though, I would have thought they were maybe in the $2000-$3000 range, unless you're talking about doing a whole trailer too?
Well I do have buddies who have gotten airbrush work done out west and it was a whole lot more. The artwork is more bold and they said it generates so much more attention which is why I'm really considering it. I checked out his website and he's actually done work for some pretty high end clients. I cant afford to wrap so this might be a really good option.
My buddies son is an artist mostly all freehand out of his head or whatever people describe they want. He's too cheap actually, works at home now. Has done super speed bike cover bikes 5 or 6 I know of. Harley lowrider magazine bikes, calendars, Vago's bikers bikes ( they pay cash ! ) Reember he got his first airbrush and easel, at 8 years old....
Paints on just about any surface, vans tennis shoes. He had a big boob and skull fetish for awhile lol.....Did wrap around on his '92 chevy truck all horror movies old and new! Bella Lugosi, frank and bride, pinhead too awesome! Did 1 those car build off team things couple years ago on TV, their '70s camaro won that comp.
my bike he did; for my changing his honda accord clutch :)

That immediately reminded me of Nicholas Cage in Ghost Rider. Beautiful work. I am lucky to be able to paint a wall one color.
I'll have to keep him in mind when I get my career going and get a house and what not and finally can afford a new motorcycle. It looks like he does some nice work and I wouldn't mind a nice custom paint job.
He did work for a cycle shop in Riverside, Calif. And did all the warranty paint work for Harley Davidson, and was doing "real flames" kinda before others started em......Yes it's Ghost Rider lol he did it on some other bikes, I said HEY! Mine's an original don't share hahaha He did change the others up, so no 2 are really alike or even close.....Few of his customer cars he did,,, were also at the Vegas SEMA shows( I used to have albums of lot of his work but lost em online) ....Naturally talented guy!

Does he have a website or anything we can go to look at past work or just to save a bookmark for future reference? I'm going to be a company driver so no need for a truck paint job but I do plan to buy a new motorcycle eventually and would love a custom paint job. but that could be 2-3 years down the road and this topic will be long lost i'm sure.
Here's his Facebook Link; funny I just threw out all his cards I had in my desk...... grabbed this Harley set off pages he has more pics there as well....
