[@scottherel8369]

Man, I hope you understand how entertaining, and informative this video is. It's truly amazing to see how a paint job as complex as yours is accomplished. I hope you are getting paid EXTREMELY well for this type of work. Brilliant job !

[@SlickWorks]

Wow Scott, thank you so much! This is actually my first full car paint job on my personal car. Kind of a practise piece as well as a rolling billboard. I hope Ill get "EXTREMELY well paid" one day! 😄🤙🏼 Thanks for watching and for that amazing compliment!

Amazing work wish we had painter like this where I live

[@SlickWorks]

Thanks very much! Where you from?

[@aussietruckphotosandmodels8510]

Yep you got my attention. I usually seal mine of with a couple of coats of clear, just to hold the dust of., and mess ups. There's enough on that to let me scuff it of before I lightly sand for final coating. I've been caught out in the past. with everything from over enthusiastic customers, to air brush back fires. And the cat from next door. Or that bit you didn't notice wasn't quite right, then a month later you spot that you taped it back wards....

[@SlickWorks]

check out my latest monte carlo video. Where the paint job is FINISHED! I did what you suggested

[@wirsindewig.3156]

Amazing and impressive work! I also like the way you do the video with that little clips from live outside the workshop - it reflects the ratio of that strange "work-live-balance" I guess ;)) Best words for me: "too tired to appreciate it now!" I know this feeling when worn out after hours of detailled work there is no more energy left to feel happy. Thanks for the insopiration that your work and video provide!

I recently retired after 40 years of such work all because people kept wanting cheaper and cheaper work, they had no idea how many hours it takes you for such works. Society wants everything cheaper and cheaper, but they want to earn more and more.. People in todays world forget that quality costs.

Amazing work, you are truly a master of the spray gun.

[@FoxiAndMolly]

Hi fantastic... I keep struggling with tight corners. Can you please advise for best tape brand for thin tight curvy corners like in your video at 5:33. It seems also complicated for even you in some occasion?

[@SlickWorks]

Oh yes, you always get tape roll back if you leave it for a couple days. Actually the tape i used was all cheap amazon chinese tape lol. Garbage compared to the fbs tape Im using these days. Fbs has softness ratings. red being the softest, can take some real tight turns! fbs is definitely the way to go

[@FoxiAndMolly]

Great thanks, I'll go the FBS way. I work very small and found the "FBS PT43 Performance Tape 0,76 mm x 25 m". Is that a true FBS tape, or some fake copy? Do you know ths tape?

[@reyandnoahjauregui3946]

When doing multiple patterns that won't be cleared for a while like what you just did, is there something you put over the patterns to keep topcoat window open or does candy have a long open window?

[@SlickWorks]

Itll get a good wash and scrub with grey scotchbrite before going to clear. This will scuff the surface and get rid of any nasty adhesion tape transfer.

Thabk you very much! chdck out stikit stencils. great adheaive stencils!

[@MickE98]

Nice patterns! You do you man.There is a million variations of fish scale patterns.I have hand cut stencil vinyl just to do something different. Where did you get the pre mixed candy?

[@SlickWorks]

I use HOK concentrates and intercoat now, I just bought every HOK candy in a pre-mix to try out the whole catalogue before buying the candies I think I'll use most. Ill look up where I got them from..... Coast Airbrush 👌🏻😎

[@VektorHaus]

what did you do wrong, and what would you do differently to keep the yellow candy from peeling up with the mask like it did? That happens to me often but I don't know what Im doing wrong to fix it.

[@SlickWorks]

The fix is this: when you think its cured enough to pull the tape off, wait another 4 hours before pulling the tape off. The issue was getting too excited to see the end result and pulling tape too soon. Waiting has solved every issue

[@VektorHaus]

Looks great! When are you doing the sides? 😂

[@SlickWorks]

When I can afford to 😆

[@TheEmpire822]

I’d say your best bet on doing a solid pink would be using a red concentrate, but that’s prolly why the pink is milky because a super translucent red candy still isn’t pink.

[@staceyrenner5418]

Good lord man! How many coats of clear are you thinking you'll use?

[@SlickWorks]

probably like 6-8 coats so theres enough buildup to block it down and wet sand it back
