About Me


WWW.COASTAIRBRUSH.COM
Coast Airbrush was founded in 1989 by Frank Monnig. Frank who once worked for Pacific Airbrush sought to trust his own business instincts and started up his own airbrush specialty store. Frank called his new store Coast Airbrush and located his business up the street in a very cozy little store space that fronted his brothers mechanic garage. Frank grew the business and with it came friends that supported him. Frank would let any airbrush artist display their work in the store if they were courageous enough to show it. After awhile a tremendous amount to Artist's began to hang thier work and covered every square inch of the store. This created a sense of belonging and pride to returning artists to show off their work to friends or just to replenish airbrush supplies and see other artists being added.
Franks son Dave Monnig emerged to take on the reins of Coast Airbrush and had some of his own business ideas to run the show. Dave would bring the Coast Airbrush Party to a whole new level. Dave with his soon to be wife Raina and a lot of longtime friends from Coast would orchestrate these massive Coast Airbrush parties at nearby hotels. The event got so big that eventually they had to move the party to the O.C. Fairgrounds convention center. Dave and Raina married and had a beautiful baby girl Taylor. Raising a newborn and managing the huge events began to be too much and the Coast Airbrush Parties took a break. You'll frequently see Franks son Chris working with Dave in a big convention or trade show.
Dave moved Coast Airbrush to a huge warehouse just down the street again painted the walls purple and established his new presence again with the 1st Annual Kustom Kulture Show. An event held in Coast Airbrushes backyard like the old time Coast Airbrush Party days but with a new twist. Dave capitalized on the popularity of the new Monster Garage and the renaissance of the Kustom Klassics and invited the top automotive graphic artists and custom fabricators with impressive displays of showcars and motorcycles customized with phenomenal airbrush work and pinstriping. We even got a glimpse of an actual Jesse James Monster Garage limo/firetruck model in 2002.
Already having Five Kustom Kulture shows under their belts Coast Airbrush is just getting started. The collective energy and passion you can feel when you visit the store invoke confidence and creativity that you can do anything. More of everything in the store and online orders shipping to everywhere in the world, you can tell they are on a roll. Coast Airbrush updated their website in 2006 to reflect their aggressive marketing campaigns and continues to do so each day.
