Ron Van Dam — Traditional Signwriter, Pinstriper & Airbrush Artist

For over 40 years, Ron Van Dam has been keeping the timeless art of hand-lettered signwriting, custom pinstriping, and airbrushing alive. In a world of digital shortcuts, Ron still works the traditional way — by hand, with a brush and spray gun, steady lines, and decades of experience.

From classic trucks and custom rigs to vintage vehicles, shopfronts, and showpieces, every job is crafted with patience, precision, and pride. Each line, curve, and fade tells a story — finished by hand, made to last, and impossible to replicate with a machine.

Ron’s work represents true old-school craftsmanship — a rare blend of signwriting skill, scrollwork, and detailed custom airspray art that brings personality and heritage to every vehicle.

Whether it’s airbrushed murals, lettering, or scrolls, Ron’s artistry transforms metal and paint into something special. No vinyl. No shortcuts. Just authentic craftsmanship, born from a lifetime behind the brush and spray gun.

Take a look through Ron’s portfolio to see the passion, tradition, and talent that have made him one of New Zealand’s most respected names in the trade.
