Joanne, Asianflava, Madjack, thanks. Looking forward to participating on this forum. The trailer, and car's, airbrushing work was all done by an airbrush artist by the name of Daneen in San Jose, Ca. The shark is really a majestic piece when you see it in person. Before beginning the paint, she actually swirl grinded the metal around where the shark would be. Then used two different House of Color blue paints, then the airbrushing, then several clearcoats over the top. When viewed in the sunshine it is amazing. As you walk by the mural, the shark remains in place, but the "water" behind it actually seems to move, like an ocean current.
I plan on attending several trailer events in 2007. Hope to see y'all sometime.
