Sandblasting Express Design of Smart Art
Olaf Ernst of the company Sandstrahlexpress.de came in late summer 2013 and needed a solution for an advertising livery or vehicle graphics.
After he let made several cars in film technology, without a stir-exciting about to get a result, he wondered at the possibilities of smart art airbrush paint.
We had designed in recent times various projects with metallic inks.
This seemed to us very appropriate here. However, these colors and techniques are actually used more for decorative murals or sculptures.
We opted for a metallic effect color in aluminum look, which was then clear coated. This color is not a simple silver but looks after appropriate processing of really like a piece of metal!
It should be painted 2 cars: 1 new Passat, which was not yet delivered, and a Morgan three-wheeler! A very unusual vehicle - even without special paint job. This should be processed first.
In Rust We opted for a reaction with normal artists' acrylic paint, which was then also painted with gloss clear lacquer. It was clear to all concerned the rust normally does not shine. But that was a concession to the everyday with washer etc.
After they had let appear the result of a week, but we came to the conclusion that so obviously no one knows the message.
So we made the grate again in rough and dull - as rust is holding.
And the effect is THE HAMMER!
