Gold and Silver Leafing for Beginners 

Do you have to clean the air brush differently when you run the glue vs normal paint?

Love your Ole school style. Flakes kandies. Leaf. Somethings just never age.

1/27/2023 Awesome to see all the products you have at your Amazon Link. Congrats on the business, hope it's going well. Love your art.

Probably one of my favorites you've done..

Awesome video, been looking to leaf my tank on my bike, makes it look so easy. Thanks for posting this.... You rock!!!

Dude! You are the man! I was literally thinking about trying to figure this out and had no resources! You are a blessing to this community! Love learning from you!

Espectacular Maestro 👏 !!!!!! Gracias por el video!!!

It’s great leaf. I use it all the time. It’s packaged right as well. Easy to use

Great great tutorial. Wish I could have caught it live! Looking forward to the next steps on this one. Thanks for such great and informative content man! You and your lady are great to listen to! HAPPY NEW YEAR from SE MI!!! ps.... my gosh I can’t wait to try this!!! Lol

I love this konsep

I almost have everything except for the spin tool and roller. I used to carve leather and then airbrush it with water-soluble acrylics. I want to try this, I think I can do it. I customize bicycles. For the motorized Schwinn, I didn't do any graphics. Now I decided to do a drop shadow on the fonts with my airbrush. I'm doing a kind of new racing BMX and making it look old-school '70s drag-style look black banana seat with chrome sissy bar but using more modern race parts like chromed RS brand park sprockets, complete with gold dice on the valve stems. LOL I think I'll practice this on a piece of glass.

Great work! Clearing question, can you clear right over silver/gold leafing without sealing it with more gliding to prevent lifting or do you just clean tank with DX330 wax and grease and do a couple light coats. Then a wet coat for final coat? Thanks

If you have trouble with silver or gold leafing. Go to the Experts! Sign painters and Window painters here. Even the Carter’s Steam Circus Artist does lots of old style work. You have some good tutorials there

Fantastic channel, great videos and information, thanks for the inspiration to get out and try my hand at painting bike my own parts - love your work! I'd love to get some of the lime line product but seems everyone is sold out or can't ship to New Zealand. I use to make gilding brushes (for laying gold leaf) for a company here in NZ many years ago and love this process. Thanks for putting your content out for all to see! Cheers

What have you found the working time of the sizing to be? If you were working on a large project, such as a car, would you do it in sections rather than size the whole car? My biggest problem seems to be setting time. But I was using a craft store water base size. I'm excited to try yours.

I like the colour.

Hey can I get a notification for when you are live 🧐 I’m in Melbourne Australia so not sure if our times would suit

You must have a literal wall of tape to do all of these👍👍

And I also from Lake City UDAIPUR

Adam I ordered the silver leaf .. but don't see any gold

Do you use the finish 1 clear on any over all projects I seen it on your shelf in a few videos.its probably my favorite for a cheaper clear?

Do you have an issue with the leaf lifting after spraying on the clear is there something you need to do first

What would it cost to get this painted on a older softail duel tank

Gday mate hey when you silver or gold leave isn’t there a way to utilise each sheet of leave when applying it seems like you are wasting a lot What I see you could get more out of it if you cut individual sheets down size 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

Hi Adam, why do you use sanding pads for burnish instead of velvet . Others always use velvet over cotton balls??

Do you find the spray on sizing is easier? My biggest problem right now is getting a clean straight line when I tape off and brush the glue on. Seems like the edges will always get a rough look

i usze U-Pol clear the only issyue i have faCED WASD GRAZING BUT IT WADS USED OVERT AUTO AIR THAT WHAD BEEN SITTIN G FOR A WEEK and itv does not like rusolium. i have sprayed u-p-ol oveer krylon no iassue un lessd ouitside the recoat window or somthing contamanting the sub structure. i do guitar custom paint and refinishes.

Okay so I'm looking at building a chopper or bobber here in a year or two and I want it to stand out a little. Do you have any tips for pinstriping when you switch tape widths how you keep width of the area you're going to paint the same width. If that makes sense. Lucky for me I still have some frames and fuel tanks kicking around from my 3 wheeler days to practice on

can you apply the glue by brush?

Can you advise me how to clear over Silver leaf... I have a 02 harley cvo with silver leaf from factory that's cleared over from factory. And I have a messed up fender that needs repaint. But what I'm seeing is that silver discolora under clear. But my harley is an 02 Fxdwg3 so it been 20 years and it looks amazing.

How much force do you use while spinning the leaf since the leaf is so delicate

gonna get variated leaf too?

What air pressure on the gun?

I have seen people using a brush to lay the glue down. Why the air brush?

For the dry time question. It takes around 90 days before the clear comes to full cure. I wouldn't ceramicote until then. Water will sheet on cured clear with no wax or polish on it. Before cure it will bead up like it has wax on it

Does lime line make gold leaf and verigated leaf also, and can the lime line glue be brushed if need be? Thanks alot. Great job

there are some acryl sizes for leafing on the market, can i use these too or better water based size?

All about who’s taxable the mostest

I am your big spoter

Does temperature matter when it's time to lay down the glue or spin??

Jesus that tank's as big as a motorcy... oh... I see. It's up close to the camera

If I paint my tank with both flat paint and a gloss or candy, should I use a a flat clear coat or gloss clear coat or something else? Also, what masking tape do you use for covering the large areas and what paper do you use to also cover large areas?

We are ordering your gold leaf kit tonight is there anything thing else I’d need to get started we are purchasing off of Amazon should we order from your website? Thanks 🙏

hello, there are several attempts I make, but with unsatisfactory results, I can't create circles correctly .. what material is the pad made of to create the circles? I am going crazy! 🤦

Do you to clean need the spinner off during the process?

What should I do if it beads up when I spray the sizing glue?

Do you need to use distilled water?

How long do you have to wait before you clear?

Why does my leaf shred up/fall off when I go to spin it?

we need lime line in south africa hook us up man

I'm in the UK.. can't find any leaf

I tried this and never had luck burnishing. Turned out nice but no burnish. Now I know Hobby Slobby s#it don't work. Thanks Im check out your stuff. Putting in wood stove today winter sucks here in St Joseph Mo. "The armpit of Mo" LOL thanks

On tanks with flush bungs like on a late 80's softail. What have you had your best luck as far as the paint edge around it? I've had a lot of issue with the gas creeping under the paint film around there.

Man I'm using your gold leaf and I'm definitely not getting that crisp of a spin .. im doing my 1st ever paint job and I'm struggling getting enough clear to be able to sand smooth smooth smooth... so there's some minor divits .. but even with multiple layers of leafing it's not spinning that clear
