[@zardportugal]

What a lesson! Beautiful work. Cheers.

[@TAZattitude]

Thank you...appreciate it!

[@Rick-Williams59]

Awesome match, I don't know many painters that would have even attempted a repair, they would take pictures and repaint the entire tank to achieve what you just repaired.

[@TAZattitude]

Thanks Rick. It was a good paying job. I'm glad it all worked out. I'm the local 'go to' guy when no one else wants to attempt it lol

Glad you enjoyed them!

[@MickE98]

Nice work.I am surprised who ever did that tank did not filler out the seam.

[@TAZattitude]

Yes, are are right on that. Most of that area I was either covered with the dash, or the tank bib. If I remember right though, when he road his bike over, he didn't have the bib on. Also, when I very first wrote the estimate quite awhile ago, it was just the chip on the side

[@3rekoatskustoms929]

You are awesome. When do you use clear base or clear coat when doing flakes or graphic?

[@TAZattitude]

Appreciate it. I use the base clear in my flakes and HOK KKs, and then of course topcoat clear as the final clear. If I was doing a complete flake job with candy. I use topcoat clear, resand, THEN candy over it. You can see that in one my other videos

[@juliebrown9543]

A lot of pre thinking of strategy before painting is key, best custom paint channel on u tube, what clear do you use to finish?

[@TAZattitude]

You are exactly right!!! I use Medallion clear, it's a Euro clear so it's 2 to 1. Comes in 5 liters, fairly thick, No solvent pop, and tacks up nicely.

[@Hunter-fl3kj]

Hey got a question for ya. I work in a body shop and just got my first side job. Customer wants his chrome truck bumpers paint matched white. What would be a fair price to charge? No r and i

[@TAZattitude]

The chrome should really be stripped. You're going to do alot of sanding on it, then prime. I'd say about $200 each plus maybe $200 materials for a solid white. Just a guess.

[@bernardmccartney9435]

Could you do a tube on how this tank was done

[@TAZattitude]

Hi, Actually, I did not do this paint job. I only had to repair it. So I had to figure out how it was done and try to figure out the colors!
