Ed Hubbs of Full Blown Kustoms shows you one of the easiest but most sought after airbrush effects, water droplets.

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

@GeorgtheMASTER I no longer use Kustom Shop products so you will not see them on my web site any more. But I do use coastairbrush(dot)com and you will see them on all of my new video's.

[@mozzmann]

Hey Ed I did a test panel some time ago and the droplets I achieved by launching water into the air from a hose and nozzle resulting in very much more rounded droplets of different sizes. It is a fantastic effect and one well worth doing for highlight graphics.

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

@Camrodsclears Sorry man I am not a sell products,I only produce videos for different companies.

[@mikedegrazia]

cool panel Ed! thanks for taking the time to help us out...

[@pmgodfrey]

Ed, this is the most freaking awesome thing I've ever seen done with paint.

[@Jolobodobs]

@edhubbs Wow, its great to see someone take so much time to answer peoples questions. Video posted Forever ago, and yet your still checking back to answer ppls questions. Thank you.

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

@edhubbs I meant to say UC35 is what I use now. This job was done with Kustom Shop, Which I no longer use.

[@RobotCowAnimations]

That ended up AMAZING! The black around the edges definatly made a really good effect.

[@Poeman446]

Ed Hubbs, you are an airbrushing genius. I'm starting to airbrush and your lessons have helped me alot, your kustom paints also look very nice however i want to get more comfortable with Createx water based paint and get familiar with airbrushing. Thanks so much for the great videos and tutorials.

[@tomymeeson1]

Cheers Ed. I have subscribed. Only got my kit the other day but can't put it down. This video has inspired me to give this effect a shot.

[@FragNet0]

Beautiful colour combination for a project like this Mr. Hubbs

[@charlesmartin3265]

Sweet, excellent video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Be blessed

[@kiki231000]

Fantastic video. Great audio and pro camera work. And the presentation (and skill!) was excellent!! glad I found this! Nice to watch a custom paint video that's not full of F-Bombs.

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

Thank you.

[@airbrushincorporated]

Been airbrushing 23 years and still haven't tried this effect. Now you've got me wanting to give it a shot. Thanks for the vid!

[@bglow56]

I'm doing this effect on a 72 Pinto station wagon. Don't ask! Your videos are great and have helped me a lot.

[@BirdOfParadise777]

This has been one of my favorite videos to watch! I'm constantly amazed by your talent Ed:)

[@Wyattearp73]

Thanks for posting these videos I appreciate that you don't keep your talents to yourself and open up about the how to's of airbrushing and that's what I call a role model. Thank you Ed

[@wlindenlaub]

Awesome effects Ed!

[@chadatwork]

Thought I would never buy a how to video, but you have way to much to offer.. Thanks for all the info in every clip Ed.

[@WhatZachDoes]

Very nice... Awesome job... I never knew how to air brush or what it consisted of. Thanks for posting!

[@WiKissfan]

My son is really into air brushing and I'll be sure to show him this, looks GREAT! I'm considering having him paint a guitar body for me and this is a great idea. Thanx for sharing it!

[@freakyflow]

@edhubbs Anytime I love the fact you show the right way of doing things and take the time to Answer people to get them started Cheers!

[@malibudude1978]

Love your videos Ed, and just wanna say thanks for showing us how to do diff things. If I had the cash I would attend one of your classes. I tried lightning bolts and they plain sucked so I put the airbrush away, but Im getting it back out and trying again with the water and real flames. Brush is an Iwata I bought last summer. Great work and thanks again..

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

@ShimmyDeburr Yes I do have classes posted on my web site. fullblownkustoms(dot)com

[@natep2882]

hey ed this technique has helped me out man a lot looks sick thanks for showing us your tricks.

[@Bensidhe]

As always Ed this lesson is excellent , they always inspire me to do more and try combos .

[@toob247]

Came across your vids and you had me sitting here alot longer than expected, had to watch most of them. Skills and class = american badass , thanks for sharin your knowledge

[@FRANC1300]

ed thx for all these videos what u post on youtube its realy nice that u share alot of tricks and "how to make" advices...after looking ur videos i get feeling i can make it the same but nobody cant do it in a sec it takes alot of pratice...for inspiration i take alot of urs motivs like water drops,flames and metal tears for my suzuki hayabusa bike i do it by my own and its looks realy cool...thx again for sharing

[@bonnivilleblackcherry9745]

Ed I have done a few bike tanks and fenders like this. I switched from the spray bottle to using a different style hair brushes and dippin n flickin. Also a tooth brush to make smaller droplets. Another cool effect is using a garden sprayer and set it as restrictive as you can so only a mist comes out. Like spraying a car panel start the spray outside of the work surface and don't stop until you are past it.

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

Different techniques for different projects

[@paddockbrat]

i'm not into airbrushing but i came across one of your videos and i am now a fan! keep up the incredible work! cheers!

[@TimSauers]

@edhubbs I kind of figured I just wanted to make sure before I did this. Thanks for the help and great work love your vids

[@MeAlone44]

Wow. that was amazing. very nice work.

[@Cre8iveSignWorks]

another awesome video ed.... ive done this technique dozens and dozens of times and found it very nice to use on vinyl lettering and graphics too. for those graphitti artists...it works just as well using spray cans, but you must clear coat it after the water has evaporated. thanks for keeping us inspired mate! shedz

[@CoxJoxSox]

Beautiful job - that would be a cool effect on a surfboard

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

@adamandtyler132 I do use water based paints but no that is not what i am using in this video it is urethanes.

[@wellardme]

I've just bought my first ever airbrush and will try out your techniques... once i'm a bit better at using it. Top video mate and true talent!!!

[@THEAIRBRUSHMANONE]

[@nutrock87]

[@EpiyonVSwingzero]

I'm doing this exact same thing on a PC case my dad bought. You're videos are the only reason I'm trying this; you make it look so cool ^^.

[@MAYBRAY1]

Holy smokes! Man, I've been messing around with some different techniques, I'm pretty new in the game. I had no freagn idea you could dry out droplets like that to create the real thing!! Incredible!

[@sll-tt6bj]

[@ivanwallace3296]

Looks awesome always wondered how that was done

[@Skaldi3]

Very awesome work, these methods and techniques can be applied to digital art too.

[@NedzCrypt]

thanks for sharing your talent Ed!!!

[@Commandodesigns]

Cool technique. I've seen it somewhere before but I can't remember where.

[@PRACERZ]

As always Ed, great vid, thanks !

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

Cool glad you enjoy it.

[@spritzpistol]

I am loving your videos;-) they are helping me so much in my quest to become a better spray and airbursh artist!

[@elad189]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@seriago]

Good work and great ideas too. Thanks!

[@gloomybeachy]

This is INCREDIBLE

[@skeletonpenis]

This is amazing I think I will try and get into this form of art any suggestions for a cheap starter air brush?

[@wideline24]

Superb effects. Thanks for taking the time to show how it's done with such clear instruction too. Great skills. I'm assuming this droplet effect is only really effective on flat panels that can be led down horizontally due to water run off? For example have you tried the same effect on a helmet or a similar shaped object?

[@reemlsilkworm]

Has to be the best effect I've seen so far! Those water droplets are just so fantastic looking and I'm going to incorporate it into my next project.. Cheers mate for all your videos, your insight is invaluable and appreciated. Subscribing now. I'm looking at some lightening effect on the youtube side window thingy and am going to look because it looks awesome from here!!! Thanks again big fella!

[@aaronfoster55]

one of the best tutorials i've seen in ages. thanks brotha

[@bawballs]

fantastic effect. i have been wanting to starrt airbrushing and these vids just inspire me to do so. great skills and talent. thanks.

[@ohyeaohyea2]

Hi Mr.Hubbs, thanks for these vids.....I haven't picked up spraygun in years, but I think I'd like to do it as a hobby again, and your videos are very helpful. Thanks again. Doug F.

[@Illusionaire1]

Great stuff man, as a beginner artist these videos really inspire me. Its great to see how many different approachs and uses out there for art. Airbrushing looks really great, and that water drop effect is amazing. If I had a car, thats the effect I would go for! Thanks for the videos man, Nice stuff!

[@iamjosh2]

what pressure are you running your airbrush at and do you keep it the same or close to for other styles? thanks for all the free vids. much better than what you can buy and you are giving away your secrets thank you thank you thank you

[@bigsky1984camaro]

Thanks Eclipse55,I will keep it in mind.Originally for this project I had intended to mask each droplet individually,but I might also spin the whole car on "the rack" at my shop....tilting it so that each panel is perpendicular to the floor...but filming a new tv show (airs in june on the travel channel) has monopolized the lion share of my time. This job has been on the back burner while I've been painting a series of monster trucks and semi-haulers for an off road performance company.

[@alooferthesexy1]

your videos are really great thanks a lot. i haven't actually started airbrushing yet, i am trying to find a descent gun for a beginner that isn't too expensive.

[@DYLAN392]

wow! that looks so awesome!

[@Geddiz]

Wow man, that's a really clever effect, I'd never have thought of that!

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

@slicspace To a certain point yes.I did a round blender and it looked good.

[@Nextluxury]

Interesting to watch!

[@greenvaepor]

Learned quite a bit from watching your clips Mr. Hubbs, The techniques really are helpful :) Thank you :)

[@skater38053]

I went to your website to see what airbrush, paint guns, and paints you recommend, but I never found where all that information is at. I'm just beginning custom airbrushing. your work and technics are AMAZING!

[@CSM60]

Wow, it's a very precise job going around those edges.

[@maxedwell]

Bookmarked this page and you can bet I'll be recommending people check out your shop as well as this video. Thanks for being generous and sharing your knowledge, and I love your pimpin' motorcycle helmet. I feel like the eyes are gonna pop right out and land on my lap. Freaky!

[@TimSauers]

that is awesome. I have wanted to paint my guitar in a water droplet scheme for a while now and was going to have somebody airbrush all the droplets but this is sweet knowing how easy it is.Question is do I have to rough up the clear coat on the guitar first or will it sit on the clear

[@Nykkytta]

Great communicator . Nice work A1A.

[@MXnMetal]

Are you using a mid coat clear after spraying the silver.I've tried to add a color to another color an they ended up blending.. love your vids. I also admire your willingness to answer questions. I believe you are very confidant in your job

[@chevyjimmy]

hey, ive just stumpeled over ur videos, ive watched every single one of them now. You inspired me, so now im going to get a new hobby, my family is already into musclecars and stuff so it'll be kinda cool if i get good at it ^^. my dad was an painter b4, so i got myself a private instructor 2. couldn't be better.. TY

[@CANSRONES]

@edhubbs you rock thanks

[@jan69english]

Wow, you are a master of your craft! :) Brilliant!

[@GitsyTheRainbowLady]

This is just so seriously COOL!!

[@dreadalex]

how on earth did you learn all these moves.your hand is just so precise.man you are not human.you are the god of painting!!!!!!!

[@ZaoHuZhua]

That looks really nice! Any tips on trying to get a mercury droplet effect? Should I use the same technique but with a silvery base?

[@spiotticd]

Hell yeah brother! Thanks for posting!

[@eklipse55]

I didn't know you were a professional! If you have the means to spin the whole car problem solved... and painting monster trucks... wow...it must be great! (literally ;) ) I'm eager to know more about your projects so... you got a new sub from Spain. Nice to meet you!!!!

[@astratasos]

I wish you did some of these miracles to my car!!! Fantastic work!!!!

[@1320freek]
