Awesome job that ghost flames is hot. I had a 95 vette Maroon candy with Ghost Flames. I would suggest bleed checker It is worth a try. I have used it once with good results.
With how often you quote Red Green, I’m surprised that I haven’t seen you do the Possum Van yet.. unless I missed it. You could do a variety of the project cars too, as well as figures of the cast. If I can get back into painting again, that’s something I’ve thought of doing for myself. Many of those “malaise era” vehicles are available now and could make your daily videos into a cool mini-series of “star cars” from a TV series or movie. Maybe do a Knight Rider set and cross promote with Knight Rider Historians as a fundraiser to restore the GMC General Semi and Dorsey trailer that they’ve acquired recently.
Thanks for mentioning the mistake that happened. Now I have an idea what’s been happening with a few of mine. I put it down to humid weather. Love the 69 it looks awesome. Start packing and selling those flame templates I’m sure you would sell heaps
I've been using this clear the week it came out. But yes I've had the same bleed too with candy. If you use 4050 with the candy like Chris arpin said you then can use 4053! I talked to him for 20min to figure out what I was doing. The 4053 will BLEED the candy!
Looks Sweet mate. Hey, maybe the paint needs to properly cure before the final clear coat. I used some rattle can stuff the other day and they recommend 48hrs!!!
14th thumbs up brother, definitely came out beautiful especially those flames and enjoyed watching it and thanks for sharing it with us and have a great day bro 👍👊😎
That looks pretty bad ass! About the runs, could you put a light coat of clear first and let it sit for awhile, then put the thick coat on. Maybe that would seal the color in. Idk. Just thinking. Great job anyway.
If I remember the video correctly , the guys at Createx said not to use the UVLS over candy paint . For the issue you described. With that stated, my immediate response was what if we put bleed checker in the paint?????? To which I guess they are too busy to respond to my little channel question.....Hope they get back to you on it
One of my buddies had an S10 in the mid 90’s with a similar flame scheme they called "ghost flames." Just slightly visible during the day, but at night they would glow in the dark…for about an hour. Haha
I'm more interested to know about the UVLS's chemical resistence as gasoline drips on a motorcycle tank. If it can handle it I'll gladly switch from 2k to UVLS on my bikes paintjobs.
Austin, having been the the proud owner of a 1970 Boss 302 buying it off of the showroom floor. I love this car, I love the ghost flames and I love the color. My car got rear ended by a dump truck back in Virginia. The insurance company totaled it (a nine month old car). My Dad and I tried to buy it back but it was a no go. Champagne Gold limited edition (they also had a Champagne silver). Damn!!!! Keep up the great work and I'm so glad we're going to see more of you in the near future. Stay safe and healthy my friend.
lovely. love how decent the flames look, and the rest shimmers nicely. I'm not too fond of the Jadas, the wheels are often so big they melt into the engine block. XD the front section must consist of a series of extradimentional spaces. a long time ago Humbrol came out with tiny spray cans. one contained clear polyurethane. I tried it on Humbrols' gold paint on a little Siku, and the PU washed everything off like it was watercolour... this was mid-80's I think, before airbrushes for modelers and compressors became affordable. at least, to me. :P
Very good Builders always my friend so I have a question for you how did you make the flame I know you made it out of vinyl but do they already come cut out as flames do we have to cut them out and how come you don't use a paintbrush to paint around the window both of my only two questions have a blessed day
So was thinking a possible method to get the flames to stand out more would have been to put half the coats of blue on the car with the flames masked, peel the mask off and then finish off the rest of the coats. Worth a try?
