Aged Painted Lettering on 1936 Ford Truck 

Great job. Kool old truck with flat head V8

That is dandy. In the 60's there were a lot of trucks and delivery Vans that were hand lettered and faded from wear and sun. I used to see business doors downtown that were done like this. It's cool when you see the brush strokes and wear thru! Nice work!

Well done. For me, you're in the upper echelon of my top 10 on the tube. Great teacher, great presentation, always pick up an essential tip I would overlook and learn something new. Thanks so much.

I learned an important lesson from you! Take your time blending paint, being new to this art form every little lesson works. Thanks so much.

Thanks for sharing, you are Truly a Master at your Craft, it's amazing for those of us that wish we could do your art!

I thoroughly enjoyed watching you make this. And loved the music.

Thanks for sharing the whole process and all the techniques involved. It’s great to watch the letters come to life.

A Master Piece. If I was 30 years younger I would have chosen to learn this profession, so rewarding!

Great video. Thank you!

Nice job. Love watching hand lettering. Very cool. ❤️😍

Retired from sign industry. Fab, install, onsite vinyl,etc. Got brush's, air brush rig, and you as one of my teachers. I am fortunate to have a friend who is one best in my hometown that's been a big help. Between the two of ya'll I be okay. I've got the shacking part down pat. Good day.

thanks for sharing your talents

Great! Enjoy your videos!!

Beautiful. WOW!

real nice work man!

Great Job David,as always!👍I'm going to have to get you to come "bath" my door next lol

What a great way to do aged enamel David! By adding the clear the "coverage" still has substance. In my opinion this is a superior way to lettering normally then "aging" with abrasive methods. Love the innovation!

Holy cow, that's a fancy pounce wheel!

Nice work David.

Absolutely love this piece and subscribing! The only one thing I wished about this video is that it was much longer so we could watch every brushstroke! Thanks for the inspiration!

you are great, god I wish I had youre ability, fun watching you show that,...great job.

BRAVO Dave👍🏻✨💫❣️

tnx for sharing great work hello from the netherlands

Yes, the key is to know when to stop fussing over details. That is why you are the pro, years of experience!

Absolut genial Super Ergebnis👍

INCREIBLE!!!

Thank you, you answered a lot of questions for me...I'm a beginner. Getting ready to pinstripe my 66 VW bug.

you the man ! just subbed !

Hey Dave ! Great Vid' and comentary.....have seen this "distressed" lettering several times out-n-about and have actually done it several times myself.( one of those effects that quite can't be duplicated at those vinyl shops............yet). I usually add baby powder to the paint and save my wht chaulk for my pounce box.I let it dry overnight then will use some 1500 wet-sand (carefully) to help "thin-out the stroke marks (also takes away a little of shine too.) Can't help but see you use those little 1/2 pint cans..(or maybe you just refill them out of the qrt' cans?) I've had good luck using th quart cans. I don't have one of those fancy pallet knives though....I just use one of the wifes old butter knives. I keep my lids clean by stirring with the knife and then lifting out the paint on the blade to the outer edge of a 2 oz. cup held at aprox' 45 degree over the opening of the can, and slide the outside lip of the cup along the edge of one side of the knife.....I can fill a cup in a matter of seconds with this up and down motion. When done, I simply rotate the back side of the knife and slide the remaing paint into the cup...hardley ever need to wipe off my knife.....Again Dave , thanks fer sharin'! (ps, I see your buddy James Dobson got a feature in last SighnCraft !)

Nice! Thanks for sharing

Hey David thanks for the great videos, I love how you take time to explain everything. One of the best lettering channels and content around IMO. Can you please explain the difference between regular Chisel Signwriter brush and Quill brush? Not sure which ones to order to get started. Do you think a no. 3 would work for both cases, for beginnings?

Nice!

NICE

Amazing !!

wow, too cool !!!

When you missed the drop-shadow on the middle of the first "E", the perfectionist in me recoiled in horror.

I would use a negative of cut vinyl focus on the age effect of the stroke peel of the vinyl and then rub or paint the outline a tad to give it the same hand painted effect.

Thanks for sharing David great video again. I wonder the powder do you see it back in your paint work, or not

looks great ;0))

Great work man! how do you pour the paint from the can? make a hole in it?

He's testing the isopropyl alcohol in an inconspicuous spot (inside the door) to make sure it doesn't take the paint off when he sprays it on the door itself.

ASMR 😃

Nice work! I have shared your work with some local shakers. Wondering what a painter in 1936 would have done to prep the door before hand lettering? hopefully they used iso too! I found myself thinking about using my LCD projector to locate the graphic, though it would need to be indoors. What is the tool you used to perforate the paper?

What font style (name) would you call that? Awesome job!

That's brilliant David, love the video's.. What was the perforator you used in this.?? I can't seem to find one online.. Great idea!!

Great video - what the name of the tool you are using to put holes into the paper?

Hi. I’m making a hand painting on the majority of a car with one shot paint. If It is covering a lot of the car and needs to withstand Canadian winters, can I apply it directly on the car without sanding/ prepping? Does it need a protective layer when finished, too. Thanks!

Awesome! Can I ask what printer you have to print the pattern? I love that vintage effect.

Why not use PPG Wax and grease remover. Preps all. Wont damage the paint and gets substrate ready for paint.

Hi I just subscribed to your channel.May I ask what chalk do you use for the outline and also what do you call the pen that you use to make tiny holes on your stencil.where can I find it? Is there an alternative?

Incredible work...subscribed. I have so many questions now. 1. What computer design program do you use? 2. What type of printer? 3. What is the electric tool for making tiny holes called and where can I buy one? 4. Where can I get those magnets? If you have time to answer I really appreciate it!! I’m doing things the hard way! As in...hand drawing all patterns and poking a thousand holes with a stick pin for pounce patterns 😂

Good gob

What printer and what software are you using? Great video! Thanks!

do you draw the design on the paper then just put loads of pin holes along the lines?

What sign program do you recommend as well as your sign pattern maker? I’m a novice at this. Thanks.

Love all your videos any advice for a Beginner trying to learn how to Letter And write names Any advice would be greatly appreciated thank you

I like to use ammonia to remove any possibility there is wax on the paint.

Follow up photos of the aged product?

can you use chalk dust to flatten the paint or does it need to be special pounce powder? thanks

Hi David, could you tell me, what kind of tool do you use to perforate the paper ? Thank you very much , also for the videos , I like your designs. Greetings from Germany Alfred

If you were to remove the lettering what would you use to remove it?

You should plasti-dip the tip of your tape measure.

so I have watched a couple of your videos on distressed door signs and want to try this on my own truck using a stencil. you have used flattening paste and pounce powder. flattening paste is kind of pricey and would like to use something else is flattening paste better then the pounce powder ?

You're in the Santa Cruz area?

What type of paper are you using for your template?

Where can i buy those brushes from?

Special dust? Magic dust!

Hi what is the tool you use to create punch holes in paper? Thanks 😊

1:42 what is the name of a tool that is like solder?

Anyone know who does this stuff in western Washington?

Just curious, how much does a job like this one typically pay?

How much would this cost to get done

Did not catch the reducer you used. Can you tell me? Thanks.

Hey David do you have a business website that I would be able to contact you at about lettering a 49 Chevy truck?

What printer are you using

Where are you based out of

why did you add clear paint?

watching paint being mixed is similar to watching it dry.

Nice lettering. Doesn't look anywhere near aged enough for 80+ years old though. Needs more distressing.

All of thoseline look the same on camera

Butcher paper?

No Mr. David-O, the truck has a beautiful paint and then you want a 20 year aged lettering? That's a dichotomy! One can't be NEW and not the other! Well, it can in that world but not in real time! You should have straightened him out!

Let me test the alcohol on a spot where everyone will see it when they open the door.

That's a no from me...trash. imo wrong man for the job.
