questions as many of our past clients did. Here are some of the most common.
Q: How do much you charge for an event?A: Our rate is determined by duration of event, number of artists, party favor choices, and in some cases travel time. Please call for a quote. (727) 808-3359
Q: Can you paint items other than the ones listed?
A: We can special order some items with a deposit for merchandise. Also, you may provide other items and styles but be sure to get them approved from us to be sure it is something that is paintable. [See our list of available items]
Q: How many items can you paint at my event?
A: 25 items per hour per artist with a name design. Custom designs may take longer and therefore reduce the speed of production and are therefore not recommended. Please call for a details.
Q: What if you don’t have time to paint a shirt for everyone?
A: With careful planning and few ground rules EVERY child at the event will get a shirt. It may become necessary to paint; one shirt per child, for only those who are at the event, and exclude adults. Hiring an extra artist will double the yield in a given time frame.
Q: Can I supply the t-shirts?
A: You may, however, the airbrush process restricts our ability to paint some items. Cotton/Polyester fabrics are best. Light colors are a must. Have all your items approved by us to prevent any unpleasant surprises.
Q: Do you accept custom design requests?
A: We will accommodate your guests the best we can with the time we are given. Custom designs tend to take longer to paint. Our first priority is to make sure everyone gets a shirt so it may be necessary to deny custom requests.

A: We need a minimum of 10X10 foot space to operate smoothly. This space will accommodate our airbrush easel, silent air compressor, a supply of merchandise, sample design display, and a table.

A: A half-hour. Please let us know if the set-up area is far from the unloading area or located up or down stairs so we may plan extra time to unload.
Q: What will you require from me or my coordinator to airbrush at the event?
A: We require a minimum of 10X10 foot space with a power outlet and two banquet tables.
