I will say that I can lay paint that will last....I can do somewhat artistic multicolor stuff, patterns and etc. But laying paint on a 67 cougar or doing slick LOOKING jobs like on that hood does take some effort way beyond just laying the paint....sanding/buffing/mixing skills and a good does of patience. But get real the pattern itself is just good airbrush or tape work....the finish however had some labor in it. I ain't no painter, I am too impatient for it. My daughter was a killer writer and photographer...I tried and tried to convince her a career in journalism would be her moneymaker (she liked it too) but she went to pre-med instead, and was miserable. Having said that I know for a fact Shawn Kelly is a closet artist, in more then one discipline, I have seen it first hand.
Edit: Them guys that can lay those mile deep candy paint jobs, and liquid tattoo artists with the airbrush or pin striping brush. Well I say they earn there money, there is just as much if not way more skill in doing it then the most high profile welding job. Maybe a lot of it is learned and taught, but a heck of a lot is dedication and natural born talent.
