Fantastic stuff, I always use magnets to hold the lace but of course that only works on steel.

Hi that was awesome to see you do all the patterns and candy's.thank you again.

[@simoncarter679]

That’s a cool video. I really need to tape up a couple panels for graphics. I always find it confusing to see a completed panel and try to work it backwards to figure out how it was done. But this video makes it all really clear. Thanks for posting Mate!

[@katykab00m]

Wowowoweeeeee 👏👏

[@anthonymeyer4935]

Maybe a dumb question but is this something you’d be able to to if you started with a darker base coat? Like a black or maybe even a dark purple then did the tape and patterns?

[@mehmetsiranlioglu1925]

Elinize sağlık ustam selamlar 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@mariochavez185]

Just wondering if you have a video of the initial tape job, I’d kinda like to see how you got to the point of the beginning of this video.

[@ThinAirGraFx]

need to do one

[@daranjavar9928]

Hey there. REALLY enjoying your videos. VERY educational. Appreciate all the instruction, advice, and oil tips to make jobs easier. Quick question…im respraying my motorcycle. Base coat, metal flake, and clear coats already done. Ready to sand and start some graphics with my candy colors. WHAT KIND of masking tape are u using to mask off the panels?

[@SnailHouseProjects]

what are did you use for the base color? is it Silver with flake in it? Sorry for the dumb question, but i am new to paint stuff and genuinely want to learn more about this

[@georgelassier9337]

wow fantastic job and it only took you 30 minutes

[@ThinAirGraFx]

About two.5 hours for that part

[@healing2gether]

WOW...Gorgeous!! Love everything about the design and application! Well Done! Where are you located? -Adam The New Woodworker

[@ThinAirGraFx]

Just north or Boston Massachusetts.

[@T3b_Custom]

I hear some people saying they don't like the paintwork on the bags, is there a problem with the paint adhering to them ?

[@moisesarriaga7069]

Awesome work! Can you elaborate on y not to use the sg100 Inter coat clear . I thought the sg-150 was for flake and pearls. Also the trans nebula 00 looks milky in the can does it dry clear?

[@ThinAirGraFx]

150 and 00 are pretty much the same thing. Yes as crystal clear as sg100 but unlike sg100. The 00 or 150 can go more then two coats because it had better binders so candies as well as pearls suspend better and you wont get the peeling it splitting that occur with ti much sg100 coverage. I know we did it back i the day but its not the way to do it now and hasn’t been for a while

[@ashtonhart7828]

Is the black you are using to do the design outlines and shadowing, is it a candy black or just a regular black?

[@ThinAirGraFx]

Its black cut with come candy cobalt blue. I never use Black Straight on Graphics of Shadows. it makes if look Flat and Dead. I alwasy add i color tint and transparency to it.

[@scratchcoderig]

What brand of airbrush do you like best? I am getting back into it after 30 years.

[@ThinAirGraFx]

I use Iwata and for the most part have for 30 plus years. Always quality

[@youhappyf0o]

Hey nice work man. I must ask… what’s the paper tape sheet u have that’s white?

[@ThinAirGraFx]

It’s just transfer tape for vinyl application.

[@youhappyf0o]

@@ThinAirGraFx thanks man I found some yellow one that’s thin

[@alirezanaghizade-sb8fv]

Hi what is the base of paint that you are using with airbrush, is it oil based or water based?

[@ThinAirGraFx]

The one was house of Kolor solvent. But I also work in water based

[@tonyfourpaws4511]

I'm doing an old 68 ford truck. i remember an old book that was published that taught all of this but i can't remember it. any ideas?

[@dannycoronel5952]

Can you make a video on how to mix the candy concentrate?

[@ThinAirGraFx]

I haven’t. It’s in the tech manual for HOK.

[@ArtDaBarber619]

How much would a paint job like this cost? Great tutorial 👌🏾

[@ThinAirGraFx]

Lots of variations. I only did the graphics on this for a shop that did the base and clear. The artwork was around 2500 I think.

[@ArtDaBarber619]

​@ThinAirGraFx Oh, wow! I had no idea how much one can make doing graphics. How many manhours did it thake you to complete your portion? Btw, very nice work.

[@leecallaghan]

What do you use for the masking? The white mask

[@ThinAirGraFx]

The plotted mask was FBS blue. I also use Rtape comfom transfer tape for a lot of hand cut work too

I get paid for every second. if your work is quality and the customer values it then you are all set. You just need to sell it
