Man that color came out fantastic. Nice job. Im getting all kinds of flake & candy ideas for my 66 Nova hot rod. Now just need to find a shop willing to take on a big project. Not many shops interested in doing candy & flake on cars anymore.
I see only two things that might compromise the paint job. First after you finished sending, you can see you didn't get around all the rivets. Any spots that aren't sanded will peel over time. Secondly, the two spots that were sanded down past the dark color will show in the sunlight. Its best to do your sanding then spray a solid primer to cover all body work with one color, then sand again and finally your color to get a uniform coverage. It turned out nice though. Just a couple of tips if you're interested.
BRING IT ON OVER and the inflatable Paint booth as well. Prolly 2-3 days in the 80 degree range would work very nicely. And of course you already sanded and prepped it right?
I have a voodoo purple Dyna with peel off rust paint on rear fender. I think harley factory used silver flakes instead of purple glitter flakes and purple candy coated finish. this video is the best way to repair the paint
Wow that's beautiful! A tip I would have that will save time for buffing is to go slightly slower on your passes with the clear. It uses a little more paint, but the finish will be smoother.
Everyone's an Expert hence that's why they tune in. Keyboard Critics suck. Enjoy and stop with the BS. I tuned in cause I'm doing a similar 2 tone paint job on a sport bike and wanted to see how yours came out. The tank and upper fairings are black, and I wanted to flake em a bit and was curious if the candy would change it that much. Guess it does.....so flake and clear it is. I already got Purple on the Fender and lower fairing. Thanks for the show. Appreciate it. Besides every bike goes faster in Black.....
@@anonimous2451 That's why I'm painting my boat black and red, it will be way faster!!!! The fish love the sparkles in the metalflake, they'll be coming from all over the lake to check it out. It's gonna be great!!!!
Beautiful... did u put base over all of those burn through rings? Or did u put some kind of primer down first? I'd hate to see that Beautiful work ring out when the sun starts baking those solvents underneath 😢
@@llewvirtue861 i did silver base then i added the candy till it looked right then i dry flaked the red flake i didnt have a tip big enough for that size flake then i cleard the snot out of it.
hi bro like yr paint job n pls tell me as i have a project under my nose how does this color look during day witout light n at night n after you applied black base coat did u rub down with grit wat no n on candy flakes 0.04 purple did u add only clear or thinner also bcoz clear is very thick n then u finished off with a clear coat n did u add thinner also n did u rub it again or polished or buffed it pls tnks pompeii
When I did my fenders I mig welded the brackets on the inside and eliminated the rivets for a smoother look. Why don’t you use a strainer for the primer? I realize that you’re going to sand the fender after priming but any little piece of trash could clog up the tip. So why not strain the primer ?
Does using that black base coat before the flake make the paint overall darker like it would without metal flake Would a silver vase coat and metal flake make it lighter
I was alittle concerned with painting in the same spot you sanded but wetting it down seemed to work fine. So the flake and candy get mixed into the regular clear and after you do plain clear to seal it in? Also saw some of your other videos looks like your also a NorCal native
@@stevenragsdale7429 Can you tell me how much of each product I need to paint a Suzuki m109r? How much base, flake, candy, and clear? Do they make a smaller flake than you used? Do I need any reducer or sealer?
EditsWithBlur I would buy a quart of base and a quart of clear. You can buy the micro flake that’s very small flake. A 2 oz jar of micro flake should be enough for your bike
@@stevenragsdale7429, when painting midnight red, for example, people paint one or two thin black coats over the final base coat, before spraying the clear coat. To allow the color to seep through in direct sunlight.
james clark I would candy black over the fender I just painted. After the clear drys I would sand with 800 grit and put a hint of black in the clear and spray. That should add that effect you want.
Hi mate; if I may I want to ask you about the silver flakes; how the gun is not clogged? Or is an special flake for normal guns? What is the number of the pointer? I am asking due to in this Country there is no those big metal flakes and I am searching for alternatives. Thanks
@@zoezzzarko1117 Silver shows the most vibrant purple, gold darkens it a bit better and Black makes it like a rich violet. It is best to test on sample sheets like demonstrated here >> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5EWHGh8M77E.html but he used a candy red, look at the differences using the above colors and also do a search for different base colors with Candy Purple. Some use a blue base or double bases to different effects. A Purple Example can be found Grape Jelly purple >> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uqHKGrjM41I.html Midnight Purple Candy Because Purple is a mixture of different colors using a Blue Base brings more purple out as it is also one of the colors used to make purple
