So it takes about 3 thick coats of clear to completely cover the bubbles?

[@reddirtdesigns7021]

Yes 3 to 4 coats gives you material to sand and buff it out if needed. Here is a video I did on sanding and buffing if you need that info. Thanks for watching I truly appreciate it.

That's cool, bro!!!

Thank you I appreciate it.

[@bleu8883]

Does the clear coat need shaken up before mixing?

[@reddirtdesigns7021]

No it doesn’t need shaken I was always told to never shake the clearcoat just stir. Thank you so much for watching.

[@davehaag8175]

Is there anything you can use if you’d wanna do this on a vertical surface… like a boat?

[@reddirtdesigns7021]

Good question the challenge is every surface has to be flat in order to let the droplets not move

[@tdub781]

Niceeeeeeee

[@reddirtdesigns7021]

Thank you!

[@srgq3807]

Does this require enamel or water based paint? or can it work with either?

[@reddirtdesigns7021]

I used urethane paint water based doesn’t work.

[@DiscosDead]

Wow! If someone explained this to me, I'd say, "That won't work..." but, seeing is believing. Great demonstration. Quick question - I have an airbrush, but not a paint gun. For small projects, do you think it would be possible to apply clear coat with an airbrush, or am I just setting myself up for frustration? Thanks again for all of the helpful information!

[@reddirtdesigns7021]

I’d say if it was like 5“ x 5“ size panel you might be able to get away with it. I have cleared small touchups with an airbrush before I personally for small projects. Really enjoy my mini touch up gun. Thanks so much for watching.

[@tonypepin]

What paint was used with the airbrush?

[@reddirtdesigns7021]

It needs to be a urethane paint. I believe I use Dupont on this project. Make sure you do not use water-based paints. It will not work. Thanks for watching.

[@silentnight2292]

What if you're already done the effects on a helmet and some already messed up but you're going to touch it up with a paintbrush or airbrush

[@reddirtdesigns7021]

Honestly, a curved surface is extremely hard to do impressive if you’re able to get it to work properly. Generally, I just do flat surfaces that I can lay down, and if it messes up, I generally repaint entire surface or use body lines as masking points. Sorry I don’t have much advice for this particular question. Thanks for watching and hope you get your helmet done.

[@stevenchurch8901]

The prices of everything done scared me off, bring on Jason...

[@reddirtdesigns7021]

Yeah painting can be kinda pricey. You can always start small and work your way up to larger. I started airbrushing on canvas with Walmart cheap acrylic paints.
