⚫️ Raw - Ghost Flames made easy.

[@philipwhant1014]

Love the way you turn your hand rather than turning the piece so we can see what you are doing, thank you

[@theintake8961]

You make the taping look so easy! Excellent video! I appreciate you taking the time to share your technique! I book marked that transfer tape. 😎👍

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Glad it was helpful! ☺️

[@og190]

I appreciate your honesty as pertaining to making mistakes and not editing them out I am a beginner and I know I won't be perfect every time it's nice to know it doesn't always work out for the teacher as well thanks for the great videos

[@albyrne5098]

❤ thanks guys, I’m new to this doing flames on my rat rod, and this technique is great.

[@Tee-rr6nk]

These are by far the best teaching videos on the web. Thanks.

[@Soulkreed]

This designs unbelievable! Cannot hold out to watch the same as this. Great job.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thank you 👍🏼

[@1MissEllyLove]

Thank you for sharing this with us! Yours is the first video I've seen that uses masking and cutting instead of a million pieces of tape to fill in the masked off space. Total newbie here, but could you put the masking tape , use a marker/pen/pencil to draw your flames, then cut them out rather than use the thin tape to sketch them out? Thank you so much for all of the tips and tricks!

[@fstopPhotography]

Very well done. Certainly an ability to strive for. Thanks

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thank you glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

[@teedtad2534]

WOW WOW! Where to get that kind of tape?! Auto store?! Hardware?!

[@eribertoacedo9505]

Hello Oz The subtle that’s dead on, The word Ghost comes to mind, I jump around looking for your artwork Ca- meant you later.🕶

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Lol, thanks mate appreciate your comment and continued support 🙏🏻

[@cliitcommander3055]

Yo 🤙 🤙 🤙 I definitely love art. Several mediums and genre's. From traditional to strange, obscure & uncomfortable!! I love all Art!! ~~Only one point where I disagree with you. You said a thing about not censoring the videos. --> You said that you would air the "mistakes"

[@markargentine6259]

Excellent how to. Thank you

Awesome job both panels are great!

Thanks much appreciated 😜

Thanks much appreciated 😜

[@gregshore7772]

I was thinking about just laying the tape and dusting with a matte clear coat and then peeling of the tape. I think that will leave kind of a gloss pinstriping effect. What are your thoughts on this?

[@wheatonsspeedshop1412]

Absolutely sweet!

[@judichristopher4604]

WOW BEAUTIFUL

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thank you glad you enjoyed the video and appreciate the comment 🙏🏻

[@3rekoatskustoms929]

When doing ghost effects on color base should you use the same color candies to cover the ghost effect

[@rogueoutandabout]

Great video. So will we see the end result on the panels with final clear? I also had the same question regarding straining a pearl and have noticed disposable cups are available with built in strainer of 120 for water borne and 220 for solvent based paints. Love your style and delivery.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thanks for your comment and yes, I plan to showcase the clearcoated panels at this stage the customer has taken them so when I get them back and it’s a sunny Day I plan on filming them. I always strain my paints, fine pearls work fine through a strainer as they are also going through an airbrush not a spray gun however flakes are generally sprayed using a flake gun. I prefer the disposable strainers rather than the cups hope that helps , cheers 👍🏼

[@brcd1r5]

I can't wait to try this on my bike! If I am doing this over a House of Color Kandy Basecoat, what would you recommend I do to prep the basecoat prior to airbrushing the flames? Thanks!

[@AirbrushAsylum]

I would recommend clearcoating your candy basecoat first to protect it then prep, wetsand and then create your ghost flames. 👍🏼

[@scalejedi3849]

Beautiful cool ghost licks

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thanks appreciate it 🔥

[@biagio8058]

Great Job, I have a question regarding your pearl mix. What is your mix? ie: pearl paint, reducer, and or intercoat clear or transparent base? What ratio?

[@AirbrushAsylum]

It really depends on what airbrush I am using for example one with a finer setup would need finer reduction whereas a spray gun or an airbrush with a larger setup would have a mix of 1:1. Ratios also depend on brands and temperature when painting , there is really no perfect mix it’s all about experimenting and working out the ratio that works best for you. 👍🏼

[@petecolone5125]

Great video. I have a question, I thought you were to not use a strainer When painting with pearls or flakes? How's the baby?

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thanks and baby is going great, I did use a paper strainer but only because it was a fine white pearl...if you are using coarse metallics and flakes then you are correct to say not to use a strainer...most flakes are applied using a flake gun. Cheers 👍🏼

[@johnfulwider7510]

Man, I wanted to see those cleared and out in the sun. I bet they both popped in the sunlight.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Lol, thank you and yes, I did a Harley with these flames and it looked nice cleared thank you 🙏🏻

[@jamesrankin9833]

Good stuff!

[@anoopmuralidharan1651]

Nice tutorial.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@dennisscott8641]

Good evening, morning, afternoon whichever it may be lol. Have a question about this. My friend wants me to do ghost flames on his vent visors(things that go on your car windows so rain doesn't get in with window cracked a little) they are smoke grey color how would I go about doing this ? He wants to keep the smoke color but wants a 20ft sight any help would be appreciated kind sir.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thanks for your question, as your friend wants them to remain transparent and I am guessing they are made from a hard plastic then I would recommend a plastic primer first then airbrush and seal with a clear (may need to add a flex aid) if it’s prone to movement . Hope that helps 👍🏻

[@MindDezign]

Still a great demo in 2021!

[@spyuggy]

I like both panels, they look great and I would have any of them on my bike.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Cheers appreciate your comment 👍🏼

[@agustinlemole1906]

Thanks!!! i need one this tapes,how is the comercial name?

[@jeffdeluca1153]

Great tutorial! So when airbrushing an auto for example, do I need to add an intercoat of clear over my clear, or just scotchbrite my clear, airbrush then re-clear? Thx mate

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thanks for your comment, I only apply intercoat clear over raw paint and or artwork if the base is clearcoated then just wet sand the clear with either 800 or 1200 and you can begin airbrushing once done re - clear and you are done 👍🏼

[@jeffdeluca1153]

Airbrush Asylum thank you for your reply

[@lildevildog8163]

I use a cheap clear the wet sand it up to 3000 grit then lay out my flames

[@robdogboy78]

Have you ever try making flame inside a RC body? Since you paint from the inside...

[@AirbrushAsylum]

No not on RC bodies as it makes it more difficult to work from back to front 👍🏼

[@jeffdeluca1153]

Good job and thank you! Do you recommend the Iwata hp-cs as a good starting point? Thx mate

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thanks for your comment and yes, the CS is a fantastic brush capable of broad spray as well as fine details one of the best value brushes in the iwata range 👍🏻

Great job! I wanna try to use the gold leaf on a gas tank, do you have any tips? I live in Italy so I'm looking for a good online shop to get all I'll need, any suggests? Thank you

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Hi there I don’t do much gold leafing maybe find a ‘old school’ sign writer or gilder they should be able to help as for suppliers in Italy I am not sure off the top of my head, sorry I couldn’t be more helpful but appreciate the comment and good luck with the gas tank I am sure it will look insane 👍🏼👍🏼

[@ChimeraPetrognani]

@@AirbrushAsylum thank you!! I'll do my best and show you the result , have a nice day

[@theflyinwop]

other than spending time using using tape to do all the covering, using your method of laying cover paper tape over your flames seems time saving. why do other guys seem to tape instead of your style ? what's the deal ?

[@schenoy1]

What is the transfer paper called, and can I get it off Amazon? Everything else is closed due to Covid-19

[@JohnSwampthingRae]

It's called Sign Maker's Transfer Tape... It's used for transferring Vinyl Decals... Make sure that you order a Squeegee with it, as well...

[@AndrewMurphy8383]

their is a more easer way to tape off the flame using 3m auto moto tape wider tape and put in the outer part of the flames masking tape is cheaper than the transfer tape he is using and if you going use trainsfer tape make sure u get med tack u dont want it to pull up or lift ur paint

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Yep that will work 👍🏼👍🏼

[@raypittman1063]

How do you stop bleed thru under the masking tape or does it not happen like when you paint a house for example

[@ozziejim8472]

@@raypittman1063 I house paint for a living, when I mask up I run a blade over the edge so to flatten the edge and squeeze out air bubbles this stops paint bleeding under the tape. Good quality tape helps.

[@sidneypecora]

Can u flame my 51 merc

[@lildevildog8163]

I do the same technique when I do ghost flames

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Cheers 😜

[@AndrewMurphy8383]

i never had problem with the blue pinstripping tape

[@AirbrushAsylum]

That’s great, I find it always lifts when curved if left on for longer periods of time .

[@AndrewMurphy8383]

see him having problem with pulling off the trainsfer tape if that happens u risk pulling it up
