The Art of Airbrushing Show Quality Model Cars with Donn Yost (Extended Preview of the 90min DVD)

[@shadowbillyphone]

Dude, are you serious!? You've basically turned your paint job skills from real cars to scaled models. It's insanely awesome! Even my car from the factory wouldn't have this quality of paint.

[@1hugeturdsundae]

Simple, clear, and straight down to the point without the heavily sugar-coated BS. Great video on model air brushing. Keep up the good work, Donn!!

[@willparsons32]

45 yrs ago I used to build model cars, trucks, boats.. Revell, was always my favourite "go - to" brand and some of those plastic resin kits would sure have looked spectacular (much like yours) if only I had a airbrush instead of a soft bristle horse haired paintbrush. Streaks from the bristles were always a common problem even if I lightly coated the final application with a thinner. Oh, those wonderful smells of Tester Paints in a glass bottle!

[@outskirtscustoms]

All great advice, I been building models for 15 years and have won a few local shows and I'd be embarrassed to put mine even close to yours. You've truly mastered the art of modeling.

[@classact7154]

This is by far the best video I’ve watched for model painting. I wish he was my neighbor. Guru of painting

[@tvan718]

I couldnt believe it when i watched this vid. I haven't built a model in 25 years. This '67 chevelle is the one i chose to build. And we chose the exact same color.

[@EtownProd2]

It is my unfortunate responsibility to inform everyone that Donn Yost passed away on August 30, 2023. Please keep is family and friends in your thoughts. Thank you Donn Yost for sharing you knowledge, skill and creativity and thank you for allowing me to help share it. You will be missed.

[@hungryhoss1379]

That last one was amazing.. I am speechless.

[@badcobra728]

Hey thank you for taking the time to make this video!!

[@MrMopar1968]

This is the first time I've seen some of your work. Everyone says your work is amazing. Talk about an understatement!!

[@Ampersandrascott]

Great stuff! I recommend a small paint booth. You have a lot of overspray in the air.

[@exilfromsanity]

Good old Paasche model "H". My go to airbrush for 40 years. I've spent $100s on fancier airbrushes over the years, but when I want ease of use and cleaning, and consistent results I reach for my old model "H" every time.

[@s10-Mike]

nice video. i finally broke down and got my first airbrush kit. I've made a lot of nice cars with rattle cans but i have to say its much easier with the airbrush.

[@jamesrodgers1443]

MAN I have fallowed your work since the the very 1st. issue of Scale Auto I ever bought ' & I have building models for the last 45 yrs. of my life . A lot of the early ones I had built were A lot less than perfect ' no matter what I built my stupid older brother either set on fire or blew up with fire crackers . It got to the point that if I wanted to keep them ' I would build them & hide them from him ! Now over the yrs . I have got buy w/ just rattel cans & have built some impressive models ' but nothing of your skill level . Now that Im on diss. building models is all I have left to keep me from being totaly INSANE !!! sorry about the book Im sendin u . Keep rockin the models man Jimmie R

[@numberx3x]

thanks! these tips and techniques realy helped me make some of my best car finishes yet.

[@undergroundpredator]

@oldmansmodels thanks for responding back to me. I'm working on a 1979 El Camino Car, and a 1978 el camino Model. I'm trying to build a mii me for my car and that color was what I was looking for. The actual car will be house of kolor planet green w/ house of kolor yellow candy on it w/ house of kolor yellow flakes. the flakes have been also discontinued so I have been told, but I already have them =-)

[@stangcrazy89]

As one model builder to the next your work is top notch!!!

[@waynewootton5385]

i like watching your video i learn more a more all the time i wish you were still on youtube still thank you mr. yost

[@toyboxchopshop6651]

He is!

[@MrMikepaniora]

very nice, now im going to buy my first airbrush kit-thanks...

[@gaabinubatrafinulifilit122]

Awesome work!

[@jeffjay2225]

Simple tools, excellent results. Modelers seem to want to over complicate this sometimes.

[@mrtrek64]

@oldmansmodels Thank you. And those colors you mix are eye popping eye candy!! Beautiful mixing is all I can say.

[@waynewootton5385]

thank you mr.yost for this video i love it

[@blank5390]

beautiful work brother

[@benjamincrawfordhaag6035]

Fantastic work, and helpful! Thanks!

[@MrRobfarr343]

I didn't know Burt Reynolds made airbrushing videos!

[@waynewootton5385]

i want to learn more and more from you thank you Mr. nobuddy

[@F1or3k]

You are PRO! That is great. So much love to Your's models.

[@morganm2313]

As you can see here people. Possibly the first ever Airbrush Tutorial on KZbin.

[@kevinlowe4845]

Great video’s my friend

[@EtownProd2]

It's masking tape around a pipe. Donn has a system on how to set that up. I can't explain it to you as well as he can, but its on the DVD.

[@inewalls]

Spectacular jobs !!! I like them very much. Greetings from Spain.

[@BAHDK]

Hey, help needed here please. I just bought an airbrush and compressor kit. I purchased a variety of premium Vallejo acrylic paints pre-mixed thinners. My paint doesnt come out like yours so wide and free flowing. I have only a 0.3mm nozzle and waiting for a 0.5mm. I'm doing muscle cars 1:24. Am I doing anything wrong? I tried candy black which was ok but gold ran like water. I would preferably like to have mine running like this video. I'd also like to know what PSI your on because it sounds high. Thx from Canada. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[@chihuahuaman7025]

Ru in Edmonton Alberta? Just curious I am. Just getting started into this hobby. Thanks for the videos. I’m really enjoying them.

[@Agent-cy5yb]

The color on the Mustang is beautiful.

[@sarramessih9671]

How do you get the wipers to stand out so well, do you use foil tape, please can you help

[@artdisco]

Hey, thanks for sharing your tips! You do great work...I really benefited from your information!

[@69roadr]

oldie but a goodie! thanks bro

[@wakcedout]

early tips are still good for anyone like me working on warhammer 40k with airbrush. clean paint jobs need space as dust free as possible for a smooth finish. of course given i paint that and in scale model i go for military aircraft....weathering is our game lol. making them look used and like theyve been in real scraps. but i can still appreciate a showroom image for car. i have a dual action gravity feed so may take these tips on should i ever do cars again.

[@bluesharp59]

Nice video and a Thumbs Up.

[@mr.mckinnon5680]

We use masking tape in painting real Cars 2. However, there are some pitfalls to worry about. The cheaper the tape, the more likely the tape is to leave residue behind. Such as glue. Blue tape, is a multi-surface tape. It is for taping together two types of surfaces that are dissimilar. Yellow tape, is designed to trap and lock in dirt. As well as fill large voids in panels, thus keeping down the turbulence as the gun moves over the surface. My recommendation is 2 fine line with 3M fine line tape, vinyl is good for making turns. And lock down your fine line with 3m green tape. The system was created to trap your color on the edge. This is known as The Edge lock system. Your color should not bleed through the tape if done correctly. Thus making crisper cleaner lines. As it is true on real cars, it should also be true with model ones.

[@KyleDaSloth]

decals before clearcoat. helps blend the decal with the paint and helps the decal from flaking off over time.

[@joshsummers8606]

EtownProd2 you are a fantastic model car builder also the model cars that you build are beautiful

[@EtownProd2]

I didn't build the model cars, I just did the videos. If you can, go to www.oldmansmodels.com and let Donn know. He'd love to hear from you.

[@joshsummers8606]

I'll do that

[@TowMan127]

Beautiful work

[@tsarbomba1]

RIP Donn.

[@mravila2537]

Do u have any videos of how to mix the paint?

[@jelly7310]

When a guy, in a sleeveless shirt, says, " there's one thing about it" , you can bet your sweet ass.......there is more than ONE thing about it.

[@harveydog2006]

I never even thought of using wet and dry is this any good for removing dust out of top coat of paint

[@ShawnClarady]

great video sir. Very good info. Thank you. Oh and I subscribed so I can learn more. Thank you

[@MOONRAK3R23]

@oldmansmodels Great video, u do great looking work. I was wondering, do you use a primer on ur car bodies before u put on a base coat. Because every time I try to use a primer my paint jobs don't turn out so good. I normally don't use a primer and my cars turn out great. Any info would b helpful. Thx

[@mrtrek64]

At 6:11 does he say the car was already clear coated? Something I don't understand is if the car was clear coated then how did he remove the scratch from the paint? Did he have to rub down passed the clear coat to get to the base coat and then apply new clear coat when finished? Unless the imperfection was on the clear coat and not the paint?

[@mokanaman]

Fantastic advice great video

[@g2183mac]

Very nice.i have a common question for beginner.how do you mix the paint and how much air pressure you have used?thank you

[@EtownProd2]

gideon macalino If you buy the video, Donn tells you how to do all of that. You can get it at www oldmansmodels.com.

[@Manaritzis88]

+EtownProd2 why old man? He is not old man

[@EtownProd2]

That's what he calls himself. I didn't do it, he calls himself, The Old Man. I have nothing to do with it.

[@davidstinson5095]

35 psi is sufficient for models trust me

[@bbd468]

Is this a short version of a longer vid? Seemed a patched together vid with not much info and i would love to know more about this guys works and techniques. Ive got more questions than answers now.... BTW, Outstanding works man!

[@EtownProd2]

Mac B It is a commercial for Donn Yost's DVD. You can purchase the DVD at www.oldmansmodels.com.

[@bbd468]

EtownProd2 Thanks Mate!

[@carmaniac3]

Amazing cars. Thanks for advices.

[@mds13696]

love the colours

[@Dkzdream]

Where do you get your drag racing wheels because I want to build and paint a drag build supra because I am a import fan but I also enjoy working on muscle cars

[@QSpeedRacer]

Still trying to learn. I just never can seem to get that smooth glossy finish..

[@hondaguy425able]

What psi do you run the compressor at also do you use acrylic or enamel paint?

[@robertmann7277]

Question- I clear with Pledge, and can never get my models as shiny as yours, is that possible with that product?

[@IcarusIcarus76]

Great video!!! Would this happen using Badger 200/0.5mm nozzle , whats your opinion sir?

[@christopherfalcon5856]

Nice & sweet . Str8 to the point . Thumbs-up !

[@waynewootton5385]

mr yost do you have a lone wolf decal for model cars if so i would to buy one thank you mr. yost wayne

[@FactFinderGeneral]

Want to use the same methods to paint the scales on a Victorinox but want to keep the logo exposed. Is there a way to coat the logo to make it easier to remove paint and re expose it?

[@hd221813]

In this video a Paasche H airbrush was used, while I use a quite similar Badger 350. Both these airbrushes are in fact bottom feed external mix. I use an operating pressure of 30 psi (measured with trigger depressed): how much psi are used in this video?

[@johnnasta]

2:45 The airbrush set that you show says Single Action on the box but then you say that dual action is better.

[@zachmarkham84]

They are, but you don't NEED a dual action.

[@jacobharris3187]

can you show your model car collection or is there already one

[@scardera]

Any tips on how to make the tires looks more rubbers then plastic glossy black?

[@EtownProd2]

+keviL That is actually covered in the "Tips and Tricks for Building Show Quality Model Cars." two disc set. You can get the set at www.oldmansmodels.com.

[@dim9988]

keviL sand them

[@davidstinson5095]

Lightly sand the tires with 300 or even 400 grit sandpaper and will make them.look.like used on the road

[@FrankieKato149]

AWESOME VIDEO!!! Thanks for the education

[@RVCAMMARATA]

@oldmansmodels That's all fine, But where did you fine the sand paper?

[@zbstr611]

it looks like it might around40-45 psi. i have the same h series he does and i used it at that psi, it shoots pretty nice : )

[@MrJonnathan2007]

The Mustang fastback at 7:15 is Sweet!What company produces that mustang?

[@mrtrek64]

@mds13696 I'm sure he has his paints color matched at an auto paint store and has them custom blended.

[@jbhotaling]

What is the model number of the paasch airbrush kit. I want to purchase one and there are many different ones on the paasch web site

[@MontyGarza]

@EtownProd2 HAHA you should change the title to Direct all questions to DONN YOST ... Looks like no one reads the info below the vids

[@rlabiche]

where do you get the gold powder specs you put in the clear coat

[@keithsmodelsandrcs6593]

Very nice Don 👍Keith

[@michaeldesorbo9312]

Hi all, I ordered both of Donn's DVDs three weeks ago but have not received them yet. I have emailed Donn through his website several times with no reply. How long should it take to receive them?

[@SuperCrudedude]

Paint looks great

[@bmw128racer]

Hmm, I'd recommend using stands for the body and the hood that are much more stable... Just in case you bump the table or something, which would be disastrous.

[@noname-js7qx]

Nice paint jobs!! Now i know why i got discouraged 😲

[@brazeau69]

do u put decals on after clear coat and polish or do u put them on first and then clear coat and polish

[@Manaritzis88]

GREAT MODELLER!

[@92MustangLover]

what do you use to make your tube chassis and were do you get your slicks and rims??? msg back thnx

[@oneslowride]

My hardest part about painting is flames. Does your video touch on this?

[@EtownProd2]

I don't know why he only does muscle cars. You'd have to ask him on his mesasge board. He answers all questions posted.

[@markjolyn94]

Very nice. Thank you for sharing

[@modelcar1589]

What color Red is that?

[@hungryhoss1379]

What grit? Sand paper just wondering.

[@conradsmith9332]

So you don't clear coat over the enamel you just sand it straight?

[@davidstinson5095]

U gotta lightly polish it compound or clear coat it but you can't let dust and dirt get in to it or u will have to wet sand the clear coat and polish compound that it's a lot of work

[@mds13696]

Where do you get your light green paint from

[@TheEgg185]

siphon feed or gravity feed?

[@bikeXscootXski]

i have bout 2 model cars ( a revell 57' flipnose vette and a revell acura rsx 3 in 1) and nethier of them fit properly resulting in a bad looking model and i do all the steps the exact way they say and i need some help.

[@undergroundpredator]

What is the color you used on the car? And who was it by?

[@BHAF4163]

How do you paint the chrome molding around the windows?

[@timitza09]

Very nice paint job, like ;)

[@dennishenrich6685]

I have an outside shop that's quite large (15x25). I have a window a/c unit but no heat. At what air temp is too low to paint ?

[@MrBuckwheat01]

Dennis Henrich the temp I like to keep my paint for painting and for drying is around 65°-70° is ideal!

[@redneckegyproductions8927]

Dennis Henrich 10 degrees below what your furnace is set to. Per say 25 celcius or 65 farenhite i qouldnt go 5 degrees below that even but 10 degrees at most

[@quickdrawbennettone9014]

how much do you charger for you to paint the model car's because i was wanting to know.

[@glenmccool3748]

whats the ratio you mixed your paint with lacquer thinner and did you use testors paint

[@EtownProd2]

glen mccool All of that is covered on the DVD which you can get at oldmansmodels.com.

[@davidstinson5095]

Testors paint use a 1 to 1 ratio shake well does a lot of coverage

[@u2becool3000]

what are you using to hold the body at 4:37 ????
