GARY'S very first AIRBRUSH job for the Elmont Department in 2009. Notice that there are 3 different patches on this truck.
ELMONT COMPANY PATCH
The ELMONT COMPANY PATCH has been AIRBRUSHED onto the front doors of every new truck since 2009. The entire truck is totally masked, so no overspray gets on anything. Next the doors are sanded, then the art is Airbrushd onto the doors, then the entire doors are clear coated with urethane & sanded to match the truck manufacturers finish.
