[@barbatosrex9473]

Thank you my friend

[@tysparks598]

Just watched your tips video, I can't tell you how much you've helped, I'm beginning to restore my dad's old slot car models that I inherited when he passed away & I'm totally lost... Masking off the windows for repaints, for instance, I had no clue there was liquid masking tape, what a revelation! I've never been a modelers, beginning in mid-life, so I can use all the help I can get. I subscribed & I'll be following along, with appreciation. Thank you.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Your kind words are much appreciated. If you have any questions on building advice just ask

[@robertmassucci1]

hey its nice you are carrying on for your dad. I'm 61 and I am lucky my son got into modelling too. he's 25. He's pretty talented. I can testify that this is a very rewarding hobby just remember it's supposed to be fun . As far as products go, it's amazing what's out there. I can't believe these companies can justify the production costs given the limited number of hobbyists out there. There must be more than I realize. anyway have fun

[@PopArow4702]

Learning technique and reasoning for it and demonstrated for us thank you 😊 🙏

[@seasoda3319]

I'm building a resin printed engine, and this will be very helpful for the exhaust. Thanks, man!

[@paulsawyer2326]

This was a great video! Love your reviews all things to the hobby. Just wondering if you plan on doing a video on how to paint rust exhaust for airplanes and/or burnt jet engines?

[@barbatosrex9473]

A friend of mine turned me on to a rust paint that I will be testing

[@nicksmith1415]

Thanks for this. I will give it a try. Maybe for a weld if I go blue to black in the centre and almost cover the black with a matt 'chrome'.

[@Hey_MikeZeroEcho22P]

Firstly, EXCELLENT posting/tutorial!!! But Questions.... 1) Is this effect on motorcycles only, or could high-performance cars have this happen to them ( would like to do on Regular exhaust car system also ). 2) How about curve portions of exhaust pipes or on 'connected'/welded portions of pipes........have you thought about showing that aspect?? 3) Is this same effect be used on jet A/C?? Do I Need to paint chrome or could a "darker metal" be used???? Thanks for answering.

[@robertmann7277]

Nice effect!, looks super easy

[@stop619]

Nice tutorial, thanks!

[@supranomicon]

Thankyou Sir, very useful video and great tuition, excellent!

[@thebobloblawshow8832]

Excellent tutorial. I’m doing a model right now with heat damage.

[@rogerredford6242]

Nice video. Very helpful. The problem we have in Las Vegas is no hobby shops. You need paint you order online. But, if you want to play a video poker machine your choices are endless

[@wernerkumm2444]

Nice tip. Just a question in general- what is the selflife of paints (Enamel's etc) asking as I have some unopened humbrol anďx tins from 15 to 20 years ago. Would you still use these or dump it? Thx

[@barbatosrex9473]

You should be alright. Enamels have a great shelf life. In particular Humbrol. If it globs up on the bottom, you just have to stir it up. It might take awhile. You can add a few drops of enamel thinner too. Try and not shake it as paint builds up around the edges where you seal the jars and that dried up paint blocks the jars from a good tight seal a d that let's air in. You can keep older jars in zip lock bags or Tupperware to keep air out.

[@markthompson7261]

Thank you so helpful.

[@firdausyaacob8037]

nice bro, please create more video like this

[@williamchristy257]

Are you spraying these clears unthinned straight out the pot? Thanks!

[@barbatosrex9473]

I thin them, 50 50

[@williamchristy257]

@@barbatosrex9473okay thank you. I tried to put it over alclad but the alclad seemed to gum up. Did you have to clear coat over the silver??

[@barbatosrex9473]

No you don't

[@martinj9251]

What did you use for the chrome effect please

[@servernajmi1354]

Can use gold or cooper instead or brown?

[@barbatosrex9473]

Sure

[@michaelbaykara2322]

i'm glad you did this tutorial i've struggling a bit with this, i tried the alclad burnt metal and it came out a very watered down sky blue color, is that the actual or is something up with my batch? thanks for the video.

[@barbatosrex9473]

I would imagine that is the actual color. There's several shades of burned blue and a few of them are light. I wanted to recreate the color of the pipe in my video so I purposely went dark. I tend to lean towards extremes with my colors but that's just me.

[@michaelbaykara2322]

@@barbatosrex9473 wil try with other brands seems easier too

[@jamesvozar1]

I have found Mr hobby brass also works well.

[@brandonwhite2384]

I’m curious if you have tried this using the alclad burnt metal colors...

[@barbatosrex9473]

I plan on it, I ordered them and waiting to pick them up

[@silentrunning3100]

Try 1:1.5

[@nameputhpong9041]

Man, it truly isn’t enough just staying inside and building and painting. Gotta go out and really experience the real thing, u kno? Burnt steel, burnt wood……. Burnt flesh…….

[@robertmassucci1]

nice video. looks like a crack stem

[@gat-x105strikegundam5]

That’s such a shame that model masters are going out of business! I never really got around to using their paints, what a shame. 😕

[@barbatosrex9473]

Rust-Oleum purchased Testors a few years ago. It's them that's discontinuing the Model Master line up. The regular Testors jars and spray paint will remain but it was the Model Master line up that was the preferred paints for Hobbyist. I'll be filming the Metalizer paint test soon so if you want any there's planty of time to get some before they're gone

[@gat-x105strikegundam5]

Barbatos Rex thanks soooo much for informing me!! I’ll keep an eye out for your video!

[@smashbother5684]

Which chrome is on the spoon?

[@barbatosrex9473]

The large spoon is Alclad Chrome and the small one comes chromed, they're chromed plated cocktail spoons from the dollar store

[@BennyCFD]

Most people do not know that heat discoloration IS NOT THE SAME AS A BURNT PIPE. it is very very very very very rare if ever that exhaust pipes get or look burnt.............

[@NeonsStyleHD]

If you're going to show something by hand. Ffs keep the damn thing still instead of jiggling it about. Put it down to rest on something, rotate it, put it back at rest, so we get a clear look at it, rather than it bouncing all over the place as in the final segment.

[@tommyt9519]

See those two vertical lines? That's what is known as a 'pause button'.

[@johnleonard974]

Can you please stop fidgeting with the paint bottles

[@barbatosrex9473]

Sorry bout that
