How It’s Made at Altrum | Airbrushing

At Altrum, we believe that every deal toy and award should be as unique and eye-catching as the achievement it represents! One of the many ways we customize our pieces is through airbrushing, a technique that allows us to add rich, vibrant color to a variety of materials, including acrylic, wood, thermoformed pieces, and even 3D prints. No matter the surface, airbrushing is a versatile and effective method for enhancing the look of each creation!

Precision & Personalization Through Airbrushing

One of the standout benefits of airbrushing is the ability to color match specific brand logos and design elements. This ensures that each deal toy or award aligns perfectly with a client’s corporate identity, reinforcing brand consistency while adding an ultra-personal touch. Whether it’s a bold red, a deep blue, or a subtle gradient effect, airbrushing helps bring each design to life with precision and vibrancy!

The Airbrushing Process

Airbrushing is a multi-step process that requires both technical expertise and artistic finesse. Our skilled team at Altrum’s Canadian factory follows a meticulous approach to ensure a flawless finish:

  1. Priming the Piece – Before applying any color, the piece is carefully primed. This crucial step creates a smooth and even surface, ensuring that the paint adheres properly and maintains its vibrancy for years to come.

  2. Preparing the Spray Gun – Once the piece is primed, the paint is loaded into a specialized airbrush spray gun. Our team conducts a few test sprays to confirm that there are no blockages, guaranteeing smooth and uninterrupted application.

  3. Applying the Paint – With steady hands and precise control, our experts apply multiple light passes of paint using the spray gun. This technique ensures even coverage and prevents streaks or inconsistencies. The result? A flawless, professional-grade finish that enhances the aesthetic appeal of the deal toy or award.
