I love how you use montana's ETOE, Ive been a graffiti artist for 14 years and its my preferred paint for everything!

You are reinforcing techniques I have been using for years, good to know I was doing it right from the beginning.

[@JP-it7ln]

I've used MTN 94 for my motorcycle fairing and seems okay without clear coat so far.. been meaning to re-do them. Any reason to use the product mentioned in the video over MTN 94? if better, I might give that a try.. also have you put 2k clear on your finish? no issues?

[@IraklisKourtis]

Hi Moto, I tried Montana Gold but was getting blobs of paint all over. I noticed that nozzle gradually gets saturated and then it sputters the blobs. Any ideas how to avoid this?

[@motowerkz3678]

@@IraklisKourtis Hey man, the only way to avoid this honestly is cycling through multiple caps. Caps are super cheap, I would suggest getting a sample pack so you can test a bunch of different styles. Most likely you would want a "blue dot" cap. You want a low pressure cap meant for fading because they have better atomization. This modern day paint from the high end brand is SUPER opaque and thick so it has CRAZY coverage. So after using half a can or so of paint you will get some spatter because the paint is drying in the nozzle as you are spraying. hope that helps. also if you have a local graffiti shop, go support it.

The quality does look fab. I would love to see someone attempt a painted raw metal effect, with brass burnishing and weld burns. something i have been thinking about for while but no idea how to attempt

[@heatherfoster7823]

Start by stripping your bike down to the steel. I use EZ Strip. Just paint it on, second coat 10 minutes later and then wrap it with plastic wrap. Wait like and hour and the paint will be falling off. Scrape it with a paint scraper, wash it with water then scrub it with #0000 Steel wool and Brasso metal polish

[@hmsinc.1645]

Same questions here. @ETOE

[@BatisChannelYT]

Instead of using that kind of sandpaper, you should use 3D sandpaper. If you are going to prime the bike you don't have to sand it to P800 because you simply are wasting your time, you have to do it up to 320 if you want or 400 then prime it, and sand it again to P800, then paint it. And you forgot to do or to tell (if you did it behind camera), to degrease the surface, otherwise there could appear defects on the finished bike. Before putting the clear coat, you have to sand it, not after putting the clear coat. Clear coat just has the waves that it has under it. How do I know it? I paint cars. By the way, the result was so good, you did extra work but you got a nice result! Keep it up, and take those as suggestions not as bad comment :)

[@TheLineSeeker]

Do you sand the colour then with 800?

[@BatisChannelYT]

@@TheLineSeeker If you have used those flakes you do sand it just to avoid them to get out the surface. But if you don't use flakes you just sand the primer, then paint and then the clear coat. Colour is only sanded if you use flakes or if there are some mistakes on it that you have to solve before the last coat.

[@jacobs-h398]

At what point in the process do you degrease?

[@BatisChannelYT]

@@jacobs-h398 Before sanding you clean it just in case to remove particles that could scratch the surface. And once you sand you have to degrease because you will put primer on it. Then it depends on technique, if it is wet/wet you don't have to sand it to paint it, but if you have to sand because you use a different technique, then you have to degrease again.

[@MD-jn1qx]

Thanks for this fine tutorial! I would like to paint with different colours. Is it ok to wet sand all colours after drying before the application of clear coat with p800. Or could i apply the clear coat without sanding during the next 12 hours? I use the stuff you mentioned below.
