How to airbrush rivets

How to Airbrush rivets, and some tips to make them easier to lay out and mask.

[@adriantrain2037]

Thanks for putting in the effort, I really found it riveting

[@stoneblue1795]

You ARE the Bob Ross of airbrush my friend. Hat's off.

[@EngraBlast.]

They need a heck ya! button for the videos that are over the top..... I have always wanted to air brush, and do, to some degree. At 52 YO I wonder if I can get to the level I want in a short period of time. Paints are so expensive. Love your video sir. You take the time to explain all the moves.

[@fx802]

Bob Ross, still the number one Artist, and I still watch his show, to bad he's gone.Your style of airbrushing is different and cool....I dig the rivets and torn metal.

[@nicksullivan2212]

Thank you very much for taking the time I’ve just started,

[@karljones9357]

Very nice work!!

[@tearoffabite]

The best Thanks Jack.

[@helir00]

Like it - good tips - cheers chap

[@nobles932]

Hello, very curious on your video and was wondering if it was possible for you to do a tree download of those rivet strips so one can easily download that. Design into computer and print would be very helpful. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work man

[@garycarver3694]

It's nice work you must have been a t-shirt guy before cuz it has that t-shirt look and nothing wrong with that it looks good and then I'm assuming that's just a demonstration that you're doing on that fender it's not a fender that goes on some vehicle I've been airbrushing for 22 23 years and I enjoy doing it I just now order me a harbor and silverback and it's not right I don't know how to say it anyway a new airbrush is supposed to be really good I'm going to try it out and see how it is anyway it was nice getting to see you do this and thank you for your effort to help people understand airbrushing main living Lord Jesus Christ bless you under endeavor as you try to teach people I also was a teacher for probably 18 19 years I don't I lost track of time anyway may you be blessed as you keep going as you work to show other people how to do airbrush tricks I don't really like calling them tricks because they require talent and they require effort but anyway good luck on your your videos I hope someday to make some myself

[@katekrasnova2433]

It's really so easy!! Thank you for advice !

[@Yahoomediaclub]

A true artist...great work buddy ☠️👍🎸☠️

[@tinaknutsen]

If the riveted metal straps say where painted in a [ + ] pattern, how would you make the vertical bar look like it is bent over the horizontal bar…as if the horizontal bar is protruding out? I hope this makes sense of what I’m asking. I’m in the middle of a project that I have faux black iron bars with 1 1/2” rivets… 1 rivet in the center of the plus sign followed by rivets each side but I don’t know how to add the extra dimensions.

[@Maples01]

An Econoline fender, exactly what I'd practice on, my van

[@mko2212]

Great work. Thanks for adding

[@golystill]

Thank you so much this is the video I've been looking for

[@paulolodicora4471]

Yhank you for the knowledge sharing, It was very helpful.

[@7777777rj]

Thanks a lot!Nice video.

[@djbruno48]

Never did this before my tail gate is black what colors would i use to get this affect, Thank you would like to attempt to do the rip open with mechanical gears inside. Thank you for your great videos.

[@coasmechteranic]

On a test panel, I’d try a dull white and darker grey opaque. Let us know how it works...

[@styx7989]

Really a great work.thanks dude !

[@robertscott3399]

i was told you will do more masking and de-masking more than actual airbrushing lol

[@davidmckenna6562]

Way cool man

[@tassieadventurerider4815]

Awesome, thank you 🍻

[@MrFuriousG]

You could put a bit of masking tape, or clear vinyl on the dots to transfer them all to the panel, or what ever you are painting in one go. Anyway, nice video.

[@coasmechteranic]

I've tried to transfer the dots (rivet heads) in bulk with transfer tape... It doesn't work. There's just too many of the darn things, and I can't get them to line up without my art looking sloppy. Hence, the "tedious" method I use. Your mileage may vary...

[@toddvlk2107]

survivor man has a paint shop!

[@Maurisio_arts]

Great video

[@wahidabdul7025]

you are awesome brother!

[@SR-gs8zo]

i build a composite airplane, i do this on the paintjob! 😍and underside in blue orange….LoL. as if the fuel siffens out of all seams….

[@Dogsled1000]

Great stuff !!!

[@petecolone5125]

funny dude. love the videos bud.

[@ArtbyMieke]

love Bob Ross, and was the same, stop stop don't over do it LOL

[@curtiswallace6841]

LOL I used to watch Bob Ross and YES! I'de Say, STOP!!!! Great Learning Vids,

[@bruceosborne6987]

Great stuff! Thanks!

[@toddritchings1974]

awesome vid!

[@LTinnell62]

enjoyed your video.. Thank you

[@borninarkham]

Instead of putting all those dots on each of the "holes", would it make sense to create a small circular stencil to do the outside part? A pop stick with a circle at the end?

[@coasmechteranic]

That could definitely work, however, you would have to spray around the stencil support, and don't forget you're actually spraying two colors here-black for the shadows and white for the highlights/leading edge. I didn't spray white in this video because the panel is white...maybe I'll do a rivets revisited video?

[@borninarkham]

Jack Bias Thanks for the reply. I tried it with a piece of hard clear plastic. It worked okay but I am a total newbie so the results were pretty average. Keep up the great work! I'm loivin your channel!

[@MrSteveS1951]

Nice work, but I think you would stress on the use of a resperator. I airbrushed for years without. Then wound up in the hospital. My lungs shut down I almost died for being stupid. Also bring the whole thing to life with using some highlights both on the rivets and the bend in the metal. Make them pop.

[@ricardoleitao-bolelas-5858]

Ok, suggestion. I have only done 3 airbrush jobs and long time ago, so not very experienced. When the tip starts to dry and acumulates paint (and therefor reduces the nozzle area) i use to have a pencil with thinner, i washed the tip with it, sprayed somewhere else,(to remove thinner excess) and moove along with the job. Is that how you do it?

[@coasmechteranic]

Yup, pretty much... I just clean the tip with my fingers, but tip dry is inevitable...

[@janepritchard6518]

Hey there, great tutorial, I have a question I am doing my own first car project and would like to know if you have any tips on how you would go about doing the torn metal effect on a black background ? As realistic as possible. many thanks Jane.

[@coasmechteranic]

yeah, that's gonna be a tough one. I'd do the "torn" part with silver or a white pearl. That's a given. but for the surrounding parts where the shadows need to be, you might consider changing the color a bit, or making that part look rusted. Good Luck.

[@easter815]

Not sure what you did with the knife. Please enlighten

[@coasmechteranic]

I used as a tool to stick the mask (dots) over the part I didn’t want painted. Hope that helps.

[@indianchief741]

I just did checker board on the wheel pants of my little 150 cessna, wanted to make it look like the paint was peeling off the tips of them and have like a aluminum skin under tore off paint, so instead of painting the black, I'd just spray aluminum instead? the wheel pants are really pointy in the front, well they really look like the body of a fish. would be kinda cool to see you do a video on something that looks like that, I'm kinda scared to do the paint being tore off because the cheater board turned out so nice and the rivets and tore paint might be a little much being I've never done it before, kinda chicken.

[@hangoverradiocontrolled3472]

Yup, just substitute the silver for the black. You will still need to do some shading of course, and I would use a different color for the "underside" of the paint which has peeled. Maybe a dark-ish metallic blue? Not too dark or the shading may not show. Just remember, it's only paint. It can be fixed.

[@miloakkad5084]

Very cool man

[@foodforthought73]

awesome burshing,,, im just learning but i cant get nothing down pat,,, i'll give it a bit longer,,,,,,, i'v watched about all your vids keep um coming

[@coasmechteranic]

Practice, practice, practice. Line control comes with practice. ...And just airbrush everything you possibly can. I use the backside of old outdated calendars as free "practice paper."

[@foodforthought73]

i got a 1000 foot roll of non printed news paper for like 20. its ok, i use cardboard, note book paper,,,,, all i have is black n white paint,, but i guess im getting better,,,still awesome job on tht

[@coasmechteranic]

I'd love to have that newspaper roll. Good find bro. You can do a lot with black and grey, my first portrait was b&g. Fun.

[@foodforthought73]

a friend of mine bought at the local news paper , ,,,, im trying, hard to do with a 1.5 yr old running around,,lol,,, she calls it psshht psshht,,,,, the sound of the air coming out,,,lol

[@coasmechteranic]

Cute. My two year old likes to watch "daddy woo keen (working)" Keep at it. The hard part is learning to "see things as an artist".

[@marclight9137]

Do you need to prep the clear coat before airbrushingl to make it stick? Great Vid.

[@coasmechteranic]

Marc Light absolutely, yes. clear needs to be de-greased and prepped. Usually, I scuff the surface with a Scotch-Brite and Dawn dish soap. Here's a vid I made on "panel prep," it's not exactly an answer to your question, but I think it may help... kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3LdqGt4d9iNrck

[@marclight9137]

Marc Light Sound like an Orange scuffing pad and Dawn to cut grease/wax (in case wax is on the car).

[@marclight9137]

Jack Bias I have a 1950 silver 4-door (suicide doors) Studebaker. I might do rivets.

[@backby-anders]

Amazing!

[@eliasbarroso71]

Massa cara dimais

[@davidchristensen2963]

Do you have a video on how to airbrush flames?

[@coasmechteranic]

Like this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4HSk2Cafq59q6s or this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZLWk62dbbt9jtk. Hope it helps...

[@jakegreen669]

thanks

[@evirider]

nice,, thank you.. ! im painting my mc tank with torn metal heart shaped in the center of my tank.. your tecnicque seems to be much less complicated tthan some..

[@christianleyland3689]

What paint do you use in metal

[@metaloutlander]

nice man!

[@richardearnest1247]

I've only found one video showing how to paint stone (or granite) look. You got anything on that?

[@coasmechteranic]

Airbrushtutor did a video with some rock textures a while back. It involved spraying thru a pencil(?) to do a quick stipple texture. I'll see if I can find a link. Are you tying to make a painting of a rock, or paint something to make it look like a polished, finished granite counter top?

[@sharonneedlesfreedomsnotfr813]

When you say "sell the rivets" how much are we talkn bout?....like if i just needed one rivet what would we be looking at?

[@jerrywaters4814]

hell with paying some one else, when you can make your own,,, cricket

[@landonbroek5101]

What kind of paint are you using ?

[@coasmechteranic]

Createx. Most likely, opaque black for the shadows.

[@dfin4588]

Jack Bias Is the createx paint you are using just a normal water based acrylic? Are you able to clear coat over it?

[@coasmechteranic]

Hugh Jasol yup, water based Createx. I've painted many things with these paints and spraying a 2K clear over top has never been an issue.

[@dfin4588]

Jack Bias Thanks for the response. That's exactly what I needed to know.

[@dfin4588]

Your video helped me do some cool looking rivets on my motorcycle tank. They didn't come out as clean as yours, but definitely better than the pacman dots I my uncreative ass would have done. Thanks for the video.

[@Godzillah]

why are painting in your computer room isn't that bad for your Heath?

[@toddvlk2107]

Les stroud? is that you?
