Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. Please make more videos on the techniques of you can. There are a million videos on painting model car but so few on these low rider paint styles. A series the whole way through a paint project would be great. Thanks again. Looks brilliant.

Fantastic Dan! I just finished the '58 Star Chief that I bought from you. Wanted it white with Tropicana turquoise cove and roof. I sprayed Nason 2 stage clear right over the bare white resin with no problem! On a scale of 1 to ten, your cars are a solid 12!

[@DanDModels]

Thanks 👍

[@nathanielbemis2109]

Hello DanD, There is a TON of oppurtunity for paint to bleed beneath tape here. Do you have a strategy to mitigate that? A ton 'o burnishing? A clearcoat spray after laying in the mask? Please give a few technical bits? BTW - it's lovely to see. Looking forward to seeing it completed.

[@tomkendall4079]

Amazing work and talent. I just picked up a bunch of Createx paint and I'm excited to try it. I've been checking out your vifs for ideas and tips.

[@DanDModels]

Nice, make sure you are mixing the paint with the Createx 4030 or 4050 for strength. Thank you 👍

[@hortonshotrodshop2003]

Dropped you a sub nice work

[@DanDModels]

Thank you 👍

@@DanDModels super sharp paint lines where did you get tape that thin

[@Jimmy-sb3fc]

Wow, that's some phenomenal work right there! Hey, where do you get masking tape that thin? Thanks!

[@DanDModels]

I cut the masking tape down to size. Thanks 👍

[@kdkustoms]

Awesome work Dan!! What tape do u use?

[@johnconnor_513]

Looking good! Did you clear in between colors? Creatix always peels when i try to back mask.

[@DanDModels]

If you are having pealback problems I would recommend making sure you are adding the 4030 or the 4050 in with your color, it should take care of any adhesion problems. The only clear I spray in-between paint is some of the 4050 if I think a area needs a little more protection. Thanks! 👍

[@lokijuytmongolito2966]

Nice striping,!! What grit (?) Is the flake your using¿ Does it come finer than what you are using or does it not work as well the finer it gets¿

[@DanDModels]

The flake Is .004 and I think some places have it down to .002, but I have not used it. Thanks.

[@thebeardedguyjefflawless5887]

Just found your channel and subscribed 😀...........loving the paint work

[@DanDModels]

Thank you 👍

[@hugheskirby]

Way cool video Dan! What kind of tape are you using? I am loving your work!!

[@DanDModels]

The tape used on this car is the hobby lobby brand, it's a lot like the Tamiya masking tape. Thanks! 👍

[@pappytinkers]

I thought i recognized that Tealalicious color, i did a 442 with it last year. Awesome job with that caddy!! What did you spray the metal flake with, it looks too big for most airbrushes? And where did you get that from? You have some skills, and a sub!

[@DanDModels]

You are right, you can not spray the flake with a airbrush. When I spray .004 flake I use a tuch up paint gun with a 1.0 tip size, And use createx 4030 as the carrier. Thanks 👍

[@pappytinkers]

@@DanDModels thank you! I'm gonna have to give that a try. Was that a Canadian accent I heard?

[@Memorylanemodelcars2]

Nice Job but Better Lighting Would Helo Video Display Better

[@roderickjones1283]

Awesome!! What kind of tape you use?

[@DanDModels]

I use a few different kinds, but on this paint job I used the hobby lobby brand. It is a lot like the Tamiya masking tape. Thanks! 👍

[@roderickjones1283]

@@DanDModels yea I bought the yellow kind it works well on models font leave that residue look

[@shsvoboda]

does the tape come that thin or did your trim it down yourself? I'm new to custom painting and not sure where to find tape that thin.@@DanDModels

[@DanDModels]

@shsvoboda its regular size. It's got to be cut down. 👍

[@shsvoboda]

how do you cut it down? Is there a trick?Thanks!!! @@DanDModels
