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. You could always count on Frank to tell you a funny joke or to show you a brand new airbrush with a wizardly glee.
