To have been born with a creative eye is a gift. To develop a steady hand is a talent. For Mike Sharan, the ability to have both is a dream come true. Sharan, an automotive airbrush artist located in the Bronx section of New York City, has created the ultimate car enthusiast’s playground. Sharan has transformed a local mechanic’s garage into an artist’s sanctuary for automotive transformation. Self employed and a die-hard gear head, Sharan now has the ability to dismantle, reassemble, and paint beautiful automobiles of all makes and models. He not only has the gift, but the privilege to touch and paint cars that many of us may never see in our lifetime.
For nearly four decades, Sharan has brushed his talent across hundreds of automobile canvases. His works have been featured in magazines, videos, and on billboards. With a passion and a flare for the daring, he has even blessed his own 2004 Ford Mustang Mach 1with a hot array of flames that virtually appear to flicker and jump off the hood, quarter panels, and engine bay.
This fired up pony is equipped with a JLT Performance next generation cold air intake, Accufab throttle-body, JBA Cat4ward shorty Mustang headers, Magnaflow catback and Magnaflow X pipe. Maximizing the performance of those parts is a SCT SF3/X3 Power Flash tuner. Stopping comes courtesy of Hawk Performance ceramic brake pads. Rear rubber is 285 series tires, riding on black and chrome 20-inch Edge five-spoke SR rims. There’s also interior and exterior mods that would make any Mustang enthusiast giddy up with joy.
Sharan does not hold back and his flare for the daring has led him to adventure cross country on dozens of occasions. He makes every effort to display his Stang in shows and to get his pony on the track even if the locations are hundreds of miles from his shop.
All Sharan wants is to have some fun and for Mustang enthusiasts across the nation to enjoy the beauty in their own vehicle. Whether it is Sharan’s talent, or the natural beauty of the Mustang machine itself, those who get to see this fire stallion in person are in awe and amazement. Sharan and his Mustang are truly works of art.
