Great video.

Your inspirational i just subed in 2024 the words of encouragement to the person who needs to hear it and continue.

i really enjoyed this video and needed the pep talk about being hard on myself too, wanting my first sign ever to be perfect & so much self critiquing

Looks like smoothie was taken off the market-do you recommend a substitute?

That's beautiful! I love the bold outlines. I'm getting ready to paint a palm bark tiki mask & looking for inspiration.

Can you show the outline marking

What paint is best for chrome/ stainless .I see you say ONE SHOT ,but is that acrylic , enamel or what's best here? Please .

Come back bro !!

Where do you find all these supplies? A regular art store or a hardware store?

I’ve been tattooing for 13 years had a sign painter do work for our shop he was amazing and it always interested me. Thank you for sharing this knowledge that you have spent so much time and energy on 🙏🏻

hey max today i got a kit because of this video man, thanks man

❤

What brand of brushes do you recommend?

I'm on the Big Island and being 84 I love the art work and still striping, did very little sign work. I use to use One Shot and sign painters paints that are hard to find here. The art supply store here has a good supply.

Thank you so much put making it real . Making easy to understand and fun . Your too cool .

Wow, the boy did good. I was not expecting such nice lines from so early in the process. I have seen custom car painters bring in a pin striper after spending weeks and a ton of money on the paint so far, and being nervous as all heck in case they messed up.

This is just sound life advice! Listen and learn folks... Thank you Max, your enthusiasm is infectious and the morale support sure goes a long way. I've got my paints out tonight for the first time in a while, all thanks to getting inspired again by your good self. Appreciate it sir, wish you well.

Needed this lil 3 parter as refreshing kick back into painting. Thank you! Hope you are doing well, please keep sharing your experience and tips, we need them!

You've quickly become one of my favourite channels on here, really appreciate what you're doing and showing us new guys the ropes. Hats off to Gary too, better than my first attempts and you both seemed to have a blast doing it. Certainly got me in the mood to give it another go. I've got all my gear out, just waiting for the missus to bugger off to bed later then I can crack on! Massive thank you sir, stay safe and keep having fun 👍

Thank you so much for this mini-series how to, really appreciate the insights and inspiration/motivation to get my ass into gear. I'm at the frustrated early stages, still in awe of how you guys make it look so effortless, but only practice on my end will fix it. Look after yourself sir, cheers 👍

Thank you kindly sir, that screw trick is a damn game changer! Appreciate it, cheers 👍

Solid brotha!

Love those light tables. I have one big enough to walk through. It's even on a set of runners so I can move it to the side.

This was a great intro series! Thanks for the tips, I'll be glad to put them to use :D

that screw trick is brilliant. So tired of that messy skin on the top. Good tips!

Well we'll well. I got myself some paint (alphanamel) and a kafka #3 stroller. Got a picture frame w glass s. Palleted the brush. Dipped the tip in some mineral spirits and re-palleted. Put the brush to the glass. Holy crap, I have a new found respect for you and the others on here making this look easy. 😢 Couple thoughts.. The paint went on very thin, not great coverage. What did I do wrong?

That’s a pretty darn good first pull.

Where do you find the fonts to use? One painter said I should use the classics. Okay, what's that. Lol. Clearly a novice here. Thanks

You do awesome work Max! Where is the best place to get the bla k aluminum panels for practice? Thx again

Is there a reason you recommend blue vs black stabilo pencils? Thx

Are all 3 jars filled with the same thing? Mineral spirits?

A lot of good tips. Thank you.

Thats very nice work luv it 😮!

Great video, amazing advice. Thank you.

This should be said to everyone right after the doctor spanks their brand new asses. Welcome to ~73 years of mistakes/lessons and some success.

Nice work. And great tips.thanks.

Did I miss it… what was the shark sign made from?

Yeah I’ve been looking at all the materials and tools, dang they are costly, sadly I was going to use my artists oils and just buy brushes

I know u been doing this a long time..but… if you use something like a wooden bbq skewer, laying it across the cup of ur spirits when u pour, the mineral spirits will run neatly down it, and won’t run down the cup, we use when pouring essential oils cuz they’re too expensive to spill a drop.

I was just watching a psychologist and she was discussing how school has paralyzed us we were taught to sit down shut up and get the answer right not to make mistakes and to truly learn through those mistakes you are correct keep it up you will mess it up but you will grow with any crap The Joy comes with learning and struggling through to become more proficient

An old steiper told me many yeara ago domt worry about what one side of the car looks like you can only see one side at a time one side will always have a little difference now that o have swwn others doing it and im now doing it yesir there is always a little offness in symmetry

Tha k you I definitely put down lines then wipe em off ,then put another line down of course like many im not happy with the lines soooo i wipe em off and start again thw hardest part is getting the paint mixeg to meet the environment around you

Max you're an excellent teacher of signwriting with lots of tips,thanks mate.

Very helpful thanks. New subscriber!

Thanks Max .Obrigado.

Love it ALL, Max! I do lots of stuff, but haven't painted a sign in 40 years, or detailed in 30. Have a commission, wanted to refresh my memory (I agree with all you said about KZbin, young kids, and just picking it up). You have a great style of painting and teaching I'm a fan. When I get the sign done, I'll share. Haven't done much with KZbin (or TikTok) yet, Facebook was where things took off for me, but now the kids are grown, I'm reclaiming Mom's artist time. Part of my problem is I do too much stuffs already, and I most certainly don't want to dedicate a bunch of channels. But I do love the idea of working with others and the young, and having all that inside my head go to anyone interested, rather than having it remain there and be useless.

ok man! I just ordered all that stuff! lol I hope to be painting soon! one question, when you cut the paint are you using the mineral spirits? thanks for the videos

whats a good starter pinstriping brush

nice video, and good job ! Thx from Belgium

My dad's a sign wrighter. just getting into it great video
