Very useful, I hope you will make another video for the protective tape, wheel outline...

Would backing it with white vs leaving it unbacked have given it a higher neon glow?

[@andrew-hd3ih]

Yes I think the white looks better

[@cfusername]

If you want to boost the color or preserve it as it is, use white or silver before black. I usually use white and then black. I only use black, if there are windows, since it looks considerably better from the outside. If the body doesn't have windows I usually put on white only and stop there.

This was a very in formative video

[@jasonrhodes9726]

Does it really matter if you have runs on the INSIDE of the body? No one can see it anyway.

[@cfusername]

The problem are less the drops on the inside, but the fact that the concentrated paint will dissolve the color below and create some bubbles which you can see from the other side. The same sometimes happens if there's just too much paint, even if there isn't already a layer below. I think the reason is, that the solvents evaporate very quickly and if there's too much paint it creates these bubbles. The paint is meant to be sprayed on in thin layers.

wow it went from ugly asf, to epic

Title shoud be how to ruin neon paint job.

[@1Rockyjl]

That is true, but as we explained in the video, we did not like the neon color. We were trying to show how important it is to back your paint and how big a difference the backing color makes. Thank you for your feedback!

​@@1RockyjlShould I back an all black body?

[@1Rockyjl]

@@cwatson42785 no need to back an all white, all silver, and all black bodies. Just apply 3 coats
