Thank you!!! The art of painting is dying with the old fellas that don't want to teach anyone. I'm glad you're making these videos!

[@damionshannon1067]

I'd like to see some more aged affects. Whether you like it or hate faux patina is usually overdone and poorly executed by the average amateur. It would be great to see someone with real skills give decent pointers.

[@davidmorris6439]

I use to do this kind of work but got into a different career 15 years ago. I love seeing it done but haven't found many decent channels. I love what you're doing.

[@kevinparker9407]

Great work! I painted my first chop back in the last century (1978) and had to buy the paints imported from the US to here in the UK. Expensive!! No internet just magazines and books for info. The name Candy or Candy Apple as it was called then confused me at first until I realised that it was what we call a toffee apple here. The illusion of depth. I was fond of pearl bases with candy apple and using flip flop(?) which gave a 'now you see it now you don't' effect with graphics. All learnt from a how to custom paint book. 🤯 Because my shed was so dusty I ended up making a small spray booth in one corner with plastic sheeting. All it takes is ONE fleck of grinding dust to ruin a candy apple coat! (sand it back, start again.) And cold damp air causing fogging or 'orange peel' (sand it back, start again, warm the shed up. (NOT with a fan heater kicking up dust!) Good extraction, heating and lighting is so crucial. Cold, damp and dusty sheds do not make for fancy paint jobs. Good to see that the art is alive and well. Respect. 🙏

Killer job Again ! Just snagged the 20oz mps off of your shop.Experimented with the 6oz. Took a piece of Plexiglas and epoxied it to the top,added a fitting and made a pressure cup for my hvlp turbine sprayer. 3m wants $60 or more just for the cup.These are a steal at a little less than $50 for the kit and way cheaper than pps.

What would be the european version of the basecoat and laquer thinner?

[@pigidly]

Question: when you clear over your graphics could you use intercoat instead of clear? Im concerned about the build up of layers.. or it isn’t a issue? You sand most of it anyway I guess?

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Some people use intercoat. Not me. I find it better to clear coat

Hi dude! So I’m stead of of using my HOK reducer, I would use this lacquer thinner, that will cause the cracks? Also if I wanted to do the whole tank would I mix the hok clear with the lacquer instead of reducer. Thanks sorry for the lame questions I’ve been tryin to figure this out for a while👍

Im not sure it that will work. you will want to test it.
