Default snowy night in New England= airbrush practice

So, 1st snow of the year is falling, 2nd Noreaster, but 1st snow fall in Worcester Ma,

fired up the brush to play around some...

These are license plate blanks used as practice panels....
I'm experimenting with marblizing.....different patterns, different ways to apply the marble affect, different transparent colors....







Then found my mind wandering a little


Then I started playin with fire....

I have my very 1st customer this winter. I'm so pyschd to paint I can't stand it. I'm considering doing 1 or 2 customers per winter, but it really depends on what happens with my very 1st customer.....

I think my pricing is reasonable.
$500. for a paint job + materials + s/h to and from.

I'm happy to practice on your tins, but it will cost you

Is that $500 for a paint job. complete? like you'll lay down color on the tins, do your airbrush artistry and clear coat? Or just the airbrushing
