Rick Primeau - PrimoCustoms

Rick Primeau born in Los Angles, California in San Fernando Valley he has been airbrushing since he was 13 years old.

 He started out airbrushing because he couldn't afford what his friends were getting done to their truck club back windows. His father was a motion picture titlist with artist working beside him. Airbrushing was used around the shop so his father told him if he wanted to, he would get him an airbrush.

            His first airbrush was a Paasche H model, He learned on that for a while and then moved up to a work horse the Paasche VL which is a dual action airbrush. At the age of 16 he started doing T-shirts for customers and detailing cars. While doing a set of motorcycle chaps with skulls going up the leg, the customer asked him if he could do his Harley. Rick Primeau never went back to doing T-shirts. He custom painted cars, motorcycles, lowrider bikes, Semi trucks, boats, jet skis, helmets, and the list goes on. He has appeared on the hit shows Overhaulin', Speed Scene Tv.com, and Rides. His work as been on the hit show Titus, Entertainment tonight, Discovery and TLC. His work has been in numerous magazines like Truckin, Sport Truck, Car Craft, and Truck Builder. He was rated one of the top 12 custom painters by Sema News.  The cars that he has built have one Best of Show, Best Paint, and Best use of Color.

            In the years of painting and airbrushing he has worked with Devilbiss with the design of their great airbrush the Dagr, which is the number one airbrush in his arsenal. He helped with the Sema Show with Devilbiss, Tekna, Evercoat, Auto Air Colors, Matix, Lake Country Polishing Pads, Menzerna Polish, and Under cover bed covers. He designed a plate for Solo plate company for their Halloween plate line. He wants to give back to airbrushing by teaching the art to those on-line and in class rooms by explaining the mixing of paints, surface preparation, basics of airbrushing and what products and materials to use.
