Redline Shop Spectraflame Paint How To

[@OldManDiecast]

Love going back and revisiting these videos. Can learn something every time. Thanks for doing these Paul

[@michaellumbrazo7924]

The instructional video i needed to get back at it. Failed to many times and was ready to give up. Just upgraded my airbrush and then this video.....thanks for the boost!

[@DiecastGraveyard]

Thanks so much. These videos are for you all. Let me know if I can answer any questions, cheers

Hi, Paul! That was a very good tutorial on Spectraflame paint mixing and application. Cool Jamaican flag colour combo for Ricky! Irie, mon! 🍁🇯🇲👍

[@maximojoe7398]

Hi Paul... I've been using these paints from the redline shop for over 2 decades...I saw your warning that you posted about respirator use and I want to tell you that it's not a recommendation....it's extremely critical that you avoid breathing in these vapors...when mixing, painting and afterwards ...or you will cough like a m.... f.... for a week or 2 I paint outdoors only, in a spray booth, with a respirator and goggles, mix the paint outdoors using the same protection too....I know several people who ignored this and got sick, Austin from die-cast resurrection posted a full page warning on his page then switched to createx paints....I still use and would recommend these paints but proper respiratory safety is critical. Cheers!

[@DiecastGraveyard]

Joe, that is definitely great advice sir and I completely agree with you.

[@pangarerc]

Thanks for your job man. Really appreciated your time to teaching us.

[@DiecastGraveyard]

It’s my absolute pleasure. Thank you so much.

[@askoseppanen3779]

That paint job came out sweet! Also a very good info here, thanks for sharing this video

[@cjromecki5086]

Beautiful! Love the fade!

[@theragingdolphinsmaniac4696]

I plan on trying these on one of my model car projects. You can spray Createx paint through a .3 nozzle airbrush, and I spray it with a .25 nozzle all the time. Just thin it with their 4011 or a compatible airbrush thinner.

[@DiecastGraveyard]

Fellow Dolphin fan, I plan on a Createx paint video also. Cheers

[@BPCustomCreations]

Close your bottles! I just spilled a bunch of Tamiya extra thin all over my desk!

[@Detoxingforlife]

@diecast graveyard Did you hit this car with clear coat after the 2 color blend?

[@DiecastGraveyard]

Not necessary if there’s no decals

[@diecastchaser164]

Thank you Paul I have never sprayed these paint's. Very helpful sir🙌

[@DiecastGraveyard]

Thank you brother and if you have any other questions please let me know

[@2H80vids]

Haven't seen anyone else mention this Paul, so my arithmetic is maybe off: 𝟐𝒎𝒍 of paint to 𝟎.𝟓𝒎𝒍 of hardener is 𝟒:𝟏, not 𝟓:𝟏 - could make all the difference.😁

[@DiecastGraveyard]

This is the amount of drops that come out of the pipette. You’re probably correct but I’ve been using this mixture for over two years and it works super. The measurements are approximate and the correct mixture is on the bottle which I mention. Very valid point Sir.

[@cyrusthevirus6383]

I came to say the same… was all kinds of wait what??

[@zeldadiecastracing]

Very nice video my friend,love that paint

[@teee4532]

Awesome tips uncle Paul! One day I plan on getting a airbrush and doing some spectraflame paints

[@koolkatkustomdiecast801]

Right on brother

[@calibre50customs12]

Very informative, can't wait to get me a airbrushing kit, tired of using rattle can lol

[@geofflukes1377]

Thanks for sharing this information gonna have to try these out as soon as I get an airbrush setup

[@DiecastGraveyard]

Thanks a lot brother. If there’s anything I can answer for you as far as an airbrush let me know I’ll help you out as much as I can. I’ve been airbrushing for over 30 years.

[@britishsouth]

I just ordered my first bottles today! You could'nt have timed this better!

[@davidbeeson1178]

Brother you are the Spectra flame paint master, I have a piece of your work and it is top-notch brother. I so can't wait to get the rest of my stuff together and give it a world, I did pick up the paasche Talon. Not so sure it's a beginner piece but you recommended it and I have to go with the pro.

[@DiecastGraveyard]

Please let me know if you have any questions I’m more than happy to help

[@Detoxingforlife]

Awesome job! Do you recommend painting the underside of the car when restoring a redline?

[@DiecastGraveyard]

If the other side of the car is painted, then yes by all means repaint it. If it is not Payne at all you should have to do is polish it and then maybe put a coat of renaissance wax on it so it doesn’t tarnish anymore. Really good question brother thank you

[@southpawdiecast8352]

Nice how to video Brother Pail

[@TheTbird35]

Very nice work exclamation love the color. My question is what pressure are you spraying the spectra flame paint?

[@DiecastGraveyard]

25-30 lbs pressure

[@LeRoy-ex3rl]

So if you wait 15 minutes between coats. Do you run out of paint before it becomes unsprayable? Or is the pot life long enough to use it all up with the amounts you mix?

[@DiecastGraveyard]

There is a pot life as you say of approximately two hours. The amount I showed you how to mix is approximately good for one whole car now if you’re using more than one color then you can mix half the amount etc. That was an excellent question brother thank you so much.

[@igozumn]

@@DiecastGraveyard Are you cleaning the airbrush between coats, or only after completely done?

[@daneself858]

Thanks for the info 👍car looks Awsome🔥

[@Bobby10241]

Great job this was a very informative video

[@Diecast_Roof]

Really it’s cool paint job

[@monti7771]

You made me very happy thank you so much

[@saulguerrero2036]

Would this formula work if the casting has a mirror like finish?? Awesome work btw!!!

[@DiecastGraveyard]

The surface just needs to be clean

[@cutrockr-diecastracing2773]

Great video! Cheers.

[@dang3402]

Sweet! So if I apply decals over spectra flame paint I have clear coat?

[@DiecastGraveyard]

You should in order to protect the decals

[@rheidtech]

Great video🤙

[@kylebaker5982]

Got a question for you do u have any videos on using nitroflame paint or how u would mix them. Also is it possible to repaint the plastic wheels from monoblock wheels with spectraflame and if so is it the same mix. Thank you for the vids

[@DiecastGraveyard]

Nitro flame paint is mixed 50/50 with reducer and the the proper amount of Activator-Hardner. To paint the wheels, I would use a silver base and then paint with whatever SpectraFlame color you wish. It’s the same mix. I prefer SpectraFlame because there is no mixing with reducer it’s already reduced. Which means one less step and it’s pretty much wants mixed with the activator Hardner is ready to go.

[@cunderthunt]

Do you need to run cleaner through it between each round?? And what do ya use?? I wanna get into airbrush but it all seems overwhelming to me 😭

[@DiecastGraveyard]

Just regular lacquer thinner from Walmart brother will work great

[@cunderthunt]

@@DiecastGraveyard thank you!

[@thehotwheelshunter]

It seems like 2 ml and then a 1/2 a ml would be a 4 to 1 mix It seems like it's been working fine for you for years

[@DiecastGraveyard]

It’s really a little bit past 2 mL but again as you say it’s been working fine for me

[@thehotwheelshunter]

@@DiecastGraveyard thanks for the video man very informative

[@davidschlicht9500]

So I am trying to get the olive to turn out like the flying tiger gasser and can't get it to turn out. It keeps on coming out with to much yellow color. I've tried the base coat, tried reducing it, tired polished casting and all attempts have failed to get this color correct. Could it be a miss mixed bottle of paint? Any advice?

[@DiecastGraveyard]

Mist coats. The keep applying coats til you get the desired color.

[@davidschlicht9500]

@@DiecastGraveyard thanks I'll have to get another bottle and try again that's how many times I have tired this one and just can't get it to where I want it to be. What about a medium temperature reducer mixed in that paint. Had a guy on FB tell me 1:1 ratio. I tired that with the redline reducer but I'm thinking they are not the same thing.

[@jansonsynder]

I meant to comment days ago. I'm about to buy some Spectraflame Paint but I'm toying with Redline Shop or Brightvision. Have you worked with them?

[@DiecastGraveyard]

I work with both of them. They’re both good products, I prefer the redline shop product because you don’t have to cut it with reducer to use it and you have to do that with the Brightvision and Product

[@jansonsynder]

@@DiecastGraveyard Good to know! I've given myself a project that requires Spectraflame. Gonna paint the rainbow of the Chaparral 2G and take their pics with the REAL 2E! (The 2G was based off of this one) I live in Midland where the surviving Jim Halls cars are curated.

[@pangarerc]

Mr Paul, I order this paint a couple of days and I don't have any contact of seller. I emailed then. Can you help me?

[@pangarerc]

They not respond. But shipped today. Tks

[@juanpreciado3789]

What psi setting do you use?

[@DiecastGraveyard]

25-30 psi. The more pressure, the more paint you’ll use.

[@chrisdeverso5942]

At what psi are you spraying at please ?

[@DiecastGraveyard]

Are usually spray at 25 psi. Just remember the higher the psi that you use the more paint you’re blowing through the gun. Now the SpectraFlame paint is thin so you could probably get away with using 20 psi. Experiment with it and find out what’s best for you.
