JON KOSMOSKI HOUSE OF KOLOR CYCLE FLAME PAINTING

[@OldSkoolF]

These are the Dude's that paved the way for our dumb asses...

[@r.w.199]

Jon's was such a great help.. I remember calling to ask about the best way to get a pearl to really pop.. and he gave me the 'this is what I do... wish I had a chance to hang in the shop with him and just shut the f up and watch..

[@Ammon6]

Even if i am not into this type of thing, i would watch it for hours.

[@dccajc1]

i have stands that jon made and sold in the early 90s he is the reason i started painting custom bikes and i never looked back.thanks jon for all u have done for our industry a true legend!

[@chronicawareness9986]

have no idea why im watching this i dont paint or have motor cycles but take a like.. i recognize good workmanship when i see it.

[@thelittlelenora]

Exactly the video I needed to see. Thank you.

[@heres2ya]

this brings back a lot of memories, of when i started doing custom paint jobs back in the late 70's and through out the 80's. to this day i still have people coming up to me at car shows talking about the paint jobs i did on there bikes/cars back in the day. it's sad to say, iv'e painted so many custom bikes, and cars. i really cant remember doing all of them. what i do remember is how much fun it was being creative with House of Kolor candy paints. thank you for your video's! p.s. i'm still in the auto-body field.

[@krazykrimizbak]

I’m a year late, but this is awesome. I’m not a painter but something about these old school videos, makes me want to get into it!

[@kellysweetman6070]

I just love watching Jon doing magic with his paints. I wish I could afford a candy paint job on my car.

[@jayarnold8883]

So so satisfying to watch. ...and listen to the narrative, very descriptive. Like Bob Ross lol.

[@shilohstore6086]

This is how I came into paint man this brings back memories

[@Trindal]

I am horrible at painting anything. But I love using that tape to lay out designs. I’ve gone through a few dozen rolls in my past. I had some in a lime green color and I laid out flames freehand on the front of a Ford Expedition. I think I have a pick somewhere. That green flame outline looked awesome on the silver paint color. It made me wish I knew how to pinstripe.

[@tyrssen1]

Had the pleasure of seeing Jon do a demo when I was at the American Motorcycle Institute. Great stuff, tho pricey.

[@TexanUSMC8089]

Super paint job..On bikes you ride regularly it's a good idea to just go with solid black. It's easy to repair. LOL With bikes, it's not if you lay it down, it's when.

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

that was amazing love the color

[@dannytheplumber7394]

Thank you for this excellent how-to video . Very seriously interested in this topic.

[@PHARRAWAY]

Thank You brother glad you like it

[@flightsimguy1483]

Cant wait to spray an EG coupe with a VIS bomber GT kit :) Your vids help me i want to flame out my roof

[@NINJUTSUguy]

I started out as a spray painter at 16 years of age and although I have had breaks from doing it and have worked in many other professions it has always been my main trade, and what I had found out in returning was always new methods, systems, and products that have changed at a fast rate . Just looking at the newer paint products like spray-on chrome that look 100% like chrome, harlequin paint that changes color, paint that crystallizes and change color according to its temperature and the list just goes on. The putty and primers have made repairs and life much easier. The only problem seems to be is the fact that 2k products due to there toxicity and slower drying times ( oven-baked) has made them difficult to use for DIY home use. I also did custom paint jobs for bikes and cars at home full time for over5 years but it would be impossible nowadays as a spray booth seems very necessary and Toxic control does not allow 2K to be sprayed in residential areas. I would also like to add that using acrylic lacquer and cutting back and buffing gave a glass-like finish with zero orange peel ( more work ) the 2K system after baking is stronger and is not supposed to need total cutbacks and buffing but getting a mirror finish straight off the gun seems impossible although I am 100% sure that custom hot rod type show paint jobs would also be cut back many times during and after the whole spraypainting process, I have also seen 2 pack paint jobs that got contaminated by dust or were used with a large candy apple size flakes and ended up been a nightmare trying to cut back the candy apple flakes so that the clear was not affected and had a very bad case of orange peel and with dust contamination on many occasions this also ended up in a repaint to rectify the problem . My point is that the 2pack paint is a nightmare to cut back and buff if you are going for perfection.

[@riddlersrevenge93]

What sealer do you recommend with a cobalt blue base coat?

[@PHARRAWAY]

Light gray works

[@joegilly1523]

Nice ,showing how it’s done is cool. I paid to have my tank painted . It is a 81KZ750 LTD.Just gloss black,they could not do the pin stripes on it correctly at all. I used a hair dryer to warn the pin stripes got them to lay down . I did what they could not . And it was a regular body shop. That was 30 years ago and they are still perfect 👍

[@KuyaCharlsTv]

perfect video my friend, very interesting

[@stevekafka]

I’m surprised the Artist wasn’t using one of my scroll brush designs, are you all unaware of my brush designs? Outlines on flames are actually fun to do now ! Honest you won’t ever use anything else to do your flame outlines!

[@rahimkisoor7004]

The Bob Ross of House of Kolor!

[@markh2128]

my question is how did you finish off the bottom of the tank?

[@messiniamtl]

Dust in the tank is ok?

[@kenwheeler6150]

I was taught always move your hand sideways then you don't leave finger marks like a ploughed field, and whenever possible use a soft sanding block

[@StupidEarthlings]

I was gonna give a hard time about the age of the vid, but the rules still apply today. AND, i have NEVER got such good information about pinstriping in one video.

[@charlesyates2208]

Today duplication side to side is done by slide projection . Taking a picture of one side on a clear film and flipping it then projecting it on the other side coming up with an exact image

[@robertsalanon2909]

Une pure merveille !!! Bravo

[@MGRDiesel]

I got a freightliner 1999 semi truck all white what colors do you think will match with white. I don’t want to paint the whole truck?

[@PHARRAWAY]

Sorry about the delay for a response, are you just adding a second color? Can you email me some pictures at pharrawaypaint@gmail..com and where you want to add the second color so I can tell you witch color will look good

[@johnnymelendrez51]

As CUSTOM. Van painter I always put something that will match the interior for example. Red interior I put some red FAMILIES

[@PHARRAWAY]

BRINGING BACK MEMORISE! ENJOY

[@mikek4610]

I remember when this was all state of the art

[@mikehoncho8121]

One starting out should use a block to prevent cutting groves with the fingertips it they use too much pressure

[@watchmestress4182]

Paint job on that tank probably cost more than my whole bike. Good lord that's alot of work

[@olecranonrebellion9976]

I dug the tight bottom flame. Looks more organic.

[@22Webstar]

Also make sure your tank is full with fuel! Can't wait to order some paint, getting my set up soon!

[@22Webstar]

Have to add how informative this video is, if everybody did this instead of not sharing, wow!

[@braleyshardwoodcustoms8584]

Lol,well that would be impossible,what are u a joker or something,trying to ruin this man's veiwers jobs?

[@KWW0321]

The legend

[@pedrodiaz7455]

Excelente 👍 también el vídeo anterior, buen maestro tuviste 👍✌️

[@PHARRAWAY]

Graciaz

[@patbarrett9263]

Kos knows paint.others just think they know paint

[@schenoy1]

How do you do a satin black paint job with HOK? The jet black is too glossy for what I want to do. And then, how do I clear without giving it again, too much gloss? Thank you.

[@drewlanekustom]

Here's a secret if you can't find a matting agent, try adding baby powder and kick your air pressure up, material down and dry spray it.

[@toddcrews3284]

For The Bold and Knock Garage

[@612fresko]

Waoo green primer back on those days

[@StupidEarthlings]

Almost perfect. My main issue is the drop shadow on the tank. It shouldnt be on the top AND the bottom of the flame..

[@StupidEarthlings]

Probably just learned about drop shadows before this vid. Also, not a huge fan of the extreme color changes on the flames. Really 60s, but maybe personal preference.

[@kennedy67951]

No one knows how to work (LEAD IN) no more. They always want the cheapest way, but is not the best way in my opinion. This dent really could have been almost restored just with the pulling method and (LEADED IN) to a perfect state that would not crack or cause problems later. Although slightly more expensive is a better chose.

[@Hopeless_and_Forlorn]

Question: at 7:16 you point out that you have stopped sanding primer while scratches from rough sanding are visible. At 9:36 you pronounce the sanding completed with a perfect surface. So what happened to the scratches? Did you leave out a step in the video?

[@simclardy1]

8:49 he is starting to get frustrated. Lol he was holding back his thoughts

[@davidmorgan4821]

I think that's the point! Cool!

[@petercopeland810]

My gosh How old is this video. I haven't seen anyone use those old school guns in 30 years. I know that Binks #7 was an awesome gun back in the day .I love HOK paint but its hard to get up here in Canada and very pricey.

[@JR-oi9vo]

Wow ya entiendo porque eres un bue pintor. Aprendistes de un bue maestro No tienes la demas coleccion del DVD comparte amigo 👍

[@PHARRAWAY]

Si estan en el canal pero casi eran los primeros videos

[@thonex8787]

dunno how it was back in da day but that was not 2% hardener for the filler XD love the old stuff you can learn so much stuff which is "outdated" but still viable and can help to improve overal!!

[@joebehanna5894]

It's what we learn from the past that helps us improve our future, right

[@davenevarez4738]

Crazy cool.

[@ZacVaper]

And then the tank went white....wtf happened?!? Why did he jump steps????

[@fireboyisme]

When was this video first recorded?

[@PHARRAWAY]

mid 90s

[@dccajc1]

@@PHARRAWAY i think it was how to vid?he sold at hok

[@krisstathakopoulos7409]

Ahh the good old days

[@Burgerqueen_5223]

I love jon's style of painting! Not his flaming tho. lol

[@ElwinWay]

The shapes were ok but Im not a fan of the colors. Also the shadow (imoho) was on the wrong side.

[@mikehoncho8121]

It's called cross hatching my dude and don't let those tack cloths kick your asses out there but thems jokes They sticky lil buggers

[@toddcrews3284]

Bay city restorations

[@Rick-Williams59]

When was this video recorded, 1980? Good tutorial for an old one, but repair and paint have come a long way since this video was made.

[@theraVen27]

Oh 1992... the worst color schemes known. People were still tied to the 80s but wanted it with some “edge” just silly schemes

[@xrlabs]

Around 2 Minutes in and it starts to get real weird

Una pregunta amigo Porque cuando esprayeo el Clear coat tira como pelusa como tela de araña

[@jeffreythomas4283]

Very intresting

[@autoemporium1]

How technology has changed hahaha

[@whome7004]

Ser U say anyone can do this, Ser I politely disagree! If you had seen some of my home splashes of color to add caricature, well most say Why do you have a blotch of GREEN I simply say Because I wanted it there! I don't think they believe me when it looks so nice in my mind, my weedeat,Rideing mower, even the garbage can I set on the road trash man quite picking up the trash for a month! Its SHOULD NOT BE hard explaining The Flames Because Flames make everything nicer to the eye! The Glow in the Dark paint, nobrainer!! You don't want some one to hit your can, the chain because if I were your and seen that cool Glow Flame Paint Job on anything You'd better chain it down, I understand Trashman u got to do a little work, u take the $ Get the Trash or Leave my Flaming Can alone! Ah that last part didn't sound right but I hope you get what I mean. U are a BAD MAN WITH A PAINT GUN! I GOT A CAN OF GREEN IM INSPIRED TO MAKE ART MOST CALL TRASH!!! THE TANK I HOPE SOMEONE IS STILL KEEPING IT SHINING FOR ALL IT WORTH!!! U R THE MAN !!!

[@cbr900son]

Damn 2019 and using a camera from 1990...

[@joshuaanderson1030]

Fill the tank full of water and stick it in the freezer to bump the dent out. You'll thank me later 😜

The paint is crazy expensive.Not something you want to practice with.Valspar makes the paint and clear and is no different from other popular brands.They slap a different label on the House of color stuff.When you paint a lot you can tell clear coat by the smell.

[@williammolchan3883]

Paintless dent removal !

[@mikek4610]

William Molchan gay

[@NINJUTSUguy]

More expensive! more difficult. This repair is easy and fast and you will never know. A paintless dent removal guy will be there for hours and will charge you by the hour which will cost exponentially more than filling it and sanding it .

[@LF-lf2oi]

Ok so no one is talking about how bad the color looks in the flames? Weird colors with no blend that seems to be sprayed with no rhyme or reason? So hard to look at. 🤮🤮. Other than that it’s pretty cool.😅

[@chrisnorwood4438]

The worst and most backward way I've ever seen a paint job done

[@rikujkoivisto]

I should quess, stupid looking comic book flames. BORING...

[@stevendecator9610]

Why in the world would you strip the tank? My god I own a body shop. Fix and blend all the colors then clear coat it. My god talk about ripping off the customer.

[@nickthomas4711]

It's better to strip it first to repair the Tank as shown. It's not a good idea to mix Paint Manufacturers when your a Pro Painter. Cheap Steps show up!

[@FA-wf2lw]

Must be a girl's bike . Great job but a little bit rainbowish .

[@mountainman4410]

I hope no one is using this as a guide. 😂 No one bothered to say anything about filling the tank with water before using a stud welder on it. Good way to get someone blown to bits. Also, if you finish your body work down to 220, you won't need the enormous amount of primer used here.

[@jasonlawrence3098]

Amateur at mixing filler i see.
