How to paint matte and gloss patterns with spray paint

Dude you rock, you make stuff I THINK I should know how to do so much more understandable

[@BradAngove]

[@Tech215Studios]

Great Job Brad! I love your video's man, always super helpful. I did autobody work for about 3 years, started off just doing prep work like scuffing bumpers, then became the owner's painter's assistance. Mixing all the paint for the days jobs, moving all the jobs into the booth and covering, cutting and taping the plastic if we we're painting fenders, QP's, hoods, etc. It was a lot of fun and has really helped personally for my channel as I do a lot of computer case mods and paint jobs. I think the Spray Paint works great and canned clear but I'm going to be investing in an HVLP Gun very soon so I can buy automotive paint from Sherwin WIlliams Auto. This way I can just use single stage and I'll also have way bigger selection of color. Siked to get that going!! Keep up the great work my man!!

[@BradAngove]

Thanks man!

[@1finnigin]

Lady here! , love your technique to get the gloss look. I keep giggling tho because I keep getting distracted by Mr. Angove's good looks! ;) anyhow.. focus focus.. lol. Im going to try this gloss technique with a dresser I got. thumbs up.

[@BradAngove]

I hope it goes well for you.

[@1finnigin]

@@BradAngove thanks Brad. So far it's working. Just don't go crazy with the spray hahah. It's not hairspray lol. Pshhhhhhh. ..hahah

[@sd33zy313]

Thanks this is probably the best way to go when trying to paint something high gloss black. Most the time when we paint things we have to sand at it taking away its color trying to make it flat as possible. So why not use flat or mette black with clear coat. Thinks bud it looks so nice

[@mascarademermelada8746]

I've been telling myself that i won't re-paint my old guitar, just change all the electronics but after seeing this video, fug it, i want that kind of finish, it looks so SLICK!

[@BradAngove]

Haha I’m glad you like it.

[@BACzero]

OMG that's so cool! I just decided I'm going to hot rod another of my guitars, and I'm doing a matte/gloss combo like that. Love it!

[@BradAngove]

Glad you like it. I hope yours turns out awesome.

[@mdsadiduddin]

how do you lacquer both???separately???will the gloss turn matt if i spray matt clear on it???

[@BradAngove]

If you sand the gloss and spray matte clear over it it will turn matte. Watch my video on how to turn a gloss clear coat matte or satin.

Amazing stuff man. Just what i needed. Ive strarted a project of restoring my guitar and i bit off a little more than i can chew. Ive watched several of your videos now and they sure help close that cap. Im gonna rewire all the electronics, repair dings, fill unused screw holes, move the input, recoat the whole thing etc. I know how to do most of it but coating is not my strong suit as I lack just about any experience/ no one showed me how to. With your vids it ought to be a cake walk. Liked all and subed.

[@BradAngove]

Thanks Oscar. I hope your project goes well.

[@jackjax532]

Brad, that is an awesome look--would look great on any guitar. It also answered another question I had. More aerosol can videos please! I'm pretty sure you have mastered aerosol painting.

Hey brad ! Love the videos ! I was wondering if maybe you could do a video of spraying a guitar with a stencil (with the matte finish)

[@BradAngove]

Hang tight. I think the one coming out next Friday might be what you're looking for.

[@chrispost1993]

The 3m blue tape, designated "edge lock" has a little less adhesive. Traditionally in residential painting we use the green tape for blocking oil base and for exterior surfaces as well as being the only effective type to mask off masonry, such as brick or concrete, from spraying with an airless machine

[@brenolabs2532]

Brad, if we inverted the paint job? (Make the all body in gloss finish, and put some stripes to keep gloss, would be easier? My idea is a EVH guitar, all matte black with gloss stripes. Awesome video btw!

[@BradAngove]

You would need to sand the stripes to put the matte overtop if that’s what you mean.

[@tdlvsabs]

[@GoProGoalieUzi]

Ok perfect!! So...I’m starting with the back plate on goalie mask. Sanded prepped and based white. I added the vinyl wording, now will hit it with rustoleum flat black. Once it dries I will use spray max 2k for the clear...I’m looking for that wet finish...I think I will be ok!!!! Right? lol

[@BradAngove]

Sounds like a reasonable plan. I hope it goes well for you.

[@ledassz]

Hi Brad, Put very simply, I have a design on paper which requires some gloss white, next to matte black. I wanted to do it as follows: - Paint the base coats - Tape of the part I want in black later and paint the white gloss base colour on the un-taped spots (----> other option is to not tape anything now, and put the gloss white on the whole body first) - Lightly sand base coat - Paint the gloss clear coat on the white base - Polish - Remove tape - Tape of the already painted white gloss - Lightly sand base coat - put on the matte black base colour - Matte clear coat - Remove tape So you would have a nicely polished gloss, in combination with a matte finish next to it. Do you think this process could work? Regards, Lenny

[@BradAngove]

Hi Lenny, yes I think that process could work as long as you are careful about the polishing.

[@bdubberz]

Want to do a gloss black top with satin back and sides... Thinking: 1. Primer 2. Flat black 3. Satin clear on everything 4. Gloss clear on top over satin clear. Will this work well if i sand between coats obviously?

[@BradAngove]

That should work fine. Or you can just coat the whole thing satin and polish the top to a high gloss. That would avoid any tape ridges.

[@casperboo5465]

Thats A Great Finnish Brad, Thank You For Sharing, Cheers

[@BradAngove]

[@SeanDiegoOfficial]

Killer work as always, Brad! After watching this, is it safe to assume that I can apply gloss clear coat over a satin/matte color and it will appear glossy with no problems?

Thanks Brad, that's a great look! Question, If you have a nitrocellulose painted guitar now, can it just scuffed up good and painted over with a solid like this black? Then use these different clear coat sprays... i just hate to strip it just to paint it again. Thanks

[@BradAngove]

+Buddy Martin as long as the nitro is fully cured that shouldn't be a problem.

[@chrisworx8967]

Nicely done I have a question Brad, did it took days or just hours to dry the matte clear before you put on the tape? cuz I have tried to do that matte and gloss finish, but when I removed the tapes, they were markings left on from the tapes. I have also used painters tape and also dried my project for a couple of days before applying the gloss hope you could help Thanks

[@BradAngove]

I did this all in one day if I remember correctly, but if you don’t use the correct re-coat times or if you apply your paint too thick it won’t dry properly and will peel off.

[@chrisworx8967]

Thanks for the tip bro👍

[@ericdpeerik3928]

How many spare guitar bodies do you have that you just do quick video paint jobs on? 🤔

[@BradAngove]

Not that many these days. I tended to use the same 2 or 3 for all my videos. I do have a bunch of bodies; I just don’t use them all for this.

[@ph1p898]

hey Brad. Love the videos. im currently painting a guitar and I'm doing a "golden teak" tinted varnish on the front. i was planning to do this gloss/matte black style for the back and sides of the guitar. I don't want to mix finishes so would it work if i was to brush on a matte varnish, let it dry, then mask and brush on a gloss varnish? both varnishes are oil based and it would be going over rustoleum primer, and rustoleum flat black

[@BradAngove]

You should have no problem putting a coat of gloss varnish on top of a dried matte varnish finish. The part that concerns me is brushing varnish over the flat black. I've never done it, so I suggest you test it out before you do it on anything important. It sounds risky to me.

[@legacymusic835]

Oooo I like that!

[@scottpeters4401]

When spraying a matte clear,do you have to sand and polish like you do a gloss clear coat?if not,how do you get rid of orange peel?

[@BradAngove]

No, you can’t polish matte clear. You just have to get it even when you spray it.

[@robertrichards8896]

Thanks so much for this video and many of your others they have given me tons on useful info I was having a hard time finding anywhere else, I am redoing a guitar of mine with a similar 2 finish look. I'm looking to do a gloss neon color base coat with a Satin black top coat any advice?

[@BradAngove]

Is there a reason you’ve chosen to do it in that order?

[@robertrichards8896]

@@BradAngove I was thinking of doing a Frankenstrat like paint job with lots of lines and thought it would be easier to put the high gloss down first and tape it off scuff it up then add the satin ?

[@BradAngove]

That should work fine as long as you’re careful about dry time.

[@robertrichards8896]

@@BradAngove I was planing on letting the gloss coat fully dry before I did the tape up and prep for the satin. Should I buff and polish the gloss before I tape it up?

[@BradAngove]

Yes, you won’t be able to do it after. Just make sure you carefully clean and scuff the areas that you are painting over afterward.

[@christianespina5433]

Nice video bro can I ask if you still used a primer before painting or you just direct to matte black?

[@BradAngove]

I had about 5 paint jobs on this guitar when I did this haha, but if it already has a paint job you can just sand it a bit with 400 grit and then go straight to your matte black. If it’s on a fresh, unpainted surface you will want to prime it.

[@locosenrutaEc90]

What’s the brand of the clear coat you used for the gloss finish?

[@BradAngove]

Rustoleum 2x crystal clear.

[@martylathrop5549]

Can I reverse that if my guitar is already gloss black and I want to spray Matt lines in it

[@BradAngove]

You would need to scuff those lines first in order to allow the matte clear to stick

[@Metal_Jim_in_TX]

@@BradAngove I want to do the same thing, on a gloss metallic dark gray guitar with I guess a clear poly coat. Kind of imagining red pinstripes on the edges of the matte black stripe. 600 grit paper would work or should I go finer? Old video, I know but it's really inspiring, thanks.

[@guitarguide407]

How can I purchase the paint and of which company I have to polish and colour my black grail guitar it is for home purpose I need a black paint and glossy sprey I cheaper

[@guitarguide407]

I need a cheaper price paint

[@brexxebender1204]

The problem with taping is that there is ALWAYS a small lip on each side of the striping.. The best way to combat that problem is to buy Graceys Nitrocellulose lacquer paints. They're a bit pricey, but WELL worth it. Then u get 1200 grit wet sand, use warm soapy water and gently sand the edges. It's a tedious job, but if u want your axe to look good, you'll put the time in. I do custom fenders for alot of people and have sold a bunch as well. Basically I do custom shops for half the price

[@BradAngove]

Using soapy water to sand a nitro job is asking for trouble my friend.

[@brexxebender1204]

@@BradAngove Actually, it's how you're supposed to do it lol... I'm talking about a nitro + lacquer mix... Like Graceys Vintage finishes sell... Its a general rule to do so to have the mirror finish. I do it all the time.

[@BradAngove]

It’s old school and risky. That’s why nobody does it anymore. Using soapy water is entirely unnecessary.

[@brexxebender1204]

@@BradAngoveThose who do good custom work still do.. ya cant just spray it and that's that.. lol.. if ya dont use soapy water on nitro lacquer, you'll just have sloppy scratches... how do u stand nitro lacquer to a mirror finish?

[@BradAngove]

With high quality high grit paper. Then I polish it obviously. Just like most who uses modern techniques to achieve quality results. The water is less of a problem on something like this than it would be on nitro, but still not worth the risk as it doesn’t actually accomplish anything if you’re using good paper.

[@fairmonttech-nmedia]

Could I use a colored gloss over a clear matte finish I already have on an alder guitar?

If you sand/prep it first, yes.

[@gumz4183]

Hey! I have a question about the matte clear coat. Does that coat hold up to repetitive playing? Like does it get glossy at parts of the guitar due to repeated use?

[@BradAngove]

Yeah, it tends to gloss up a bit from rubbing. Have a look at my video on the problem with matte finishes.

[@st3ange21]

Nice job! Really cool indeed but i've got a question! If you apply more layers of matte clear coat does it affect the result?

[@BradAngove]

What do you mean? More base layers?

[@st3ange21]

Brad Angove I mean spray the matte more times. Will I get a mattier finish?

You won’t get a matter finish. It will just be thicker.

[@taraplacencia7259]

How do you recommend painting a piano with spray cans with that black mirror finish????

[@BradAngove]

To put it bluntly, I don’t. Pianos, at least of the acoustic variety, depend heavily on resonance. You can’t just spray whatever you want on them and expect them to sound the same.

[@taraplacencia7259]

Is there anyway to achieve this look at home?

[@BradAngove]

Pianos used to be done with a hand rubbed finish that can technically be done at home, but it will be somewhat toxic and smell terrible for a long time.

If you sand it and clear coat over it it should hold its gloss, but it’s odd that it would be losing its sheen.

[@alexgl]

After level-sanding with 600 grid and a grey scotchbrite before clear-coating, i still get the "orange peel" surface... Its ok with fine-polishing, but it really DEMANDS it... Otherwize it is not as glassy as yours... I use MOTIP, which is a good brand... any ideas of what im doing wrong?

[@BradAngove]

If you're still getting orange peel you just haven't sanded it completely flat.

[@alexgl]

Brad Angove oh i see... maybe i should use 600 and then some lighter grade to avoid sanding through. Lets say, up to 1500...

Yes, have a look at my videos on sanding and polishing.

I have a question, do you think you would get the same result if you just sprayed a gloss clear coat over just flat black, or do you recommend doing flat black, then matte clear coat, then gloss clear coat? I’m looking to get a really reflective finish. As mirror like as possible.

Brad Angove - even if you scuff it up before you apply the matte? It seems to me that you’d be able to get an even polish and make it even if it went that way. Regardless- it looks pretty cool bud! Looks like darth Vader’s chestplate the way you did it

Generally that is from surface contamination. You need to make sure you properly abrade and clean the surface. On metal you also need to ensure that you’re using a metal compatible primer.

Would this work with different colors? I want to do a green matte with a kinda sparkly gloss white stripes, my question is would i do the whole thing the dark matte green then just white over top in the spots where i want the gloss white stripes?

You need proper automotive clear coat.

Which brand spray used

[@BradAngove]

Check my video on how to get a professional looking clear coat with spray cans. That’s the one.

[@raphaelnaval1242]

Can you do it on a xbox or ps controller?

[@BradAngove]

Yes, but you should use adhesion promoter to help the paint stick to the plastic. Check out my video on how to paint plastic parts properly if you want more info on that.

They’re wet.

Ok, what kind of paint did you use for the base, what grit did you sand it with, and which matte clear did you use?
