Hello. Avoiding paint build-up on edges is a matter of technique; be mindful of your application and avoid over-application of material along the panel edges. Thank you.

thank you!

Excellent, thanks for watching.

Welcome, brah.

Thanks, much better than the Johnny Sins comparisons.

Everyone has one somewhere supposedly. 7 billion people, I’m not surprised

Thanks for watching. Createx is a manufacturer of paints doesn't service commercial paintwork, but we sincerely appreciated the inquiry.

thank you!

Yes, classes were planned to begin earlier this year, but all that changed with COVID. As soon as possible (we're in CT which has travel restrictions), we'll schedule classes, hopefully sooner than later. Thank you for the inquiry.

Please review our application guide and technical data sheets available at www.creatextech.com. We always recommend painting at 70 deg.F (60 deg.F minimum). Thank you.

X-ACTO X-LIFE. Thanks.

Auto mask is available at most auto refinish suppliers. This particular brand is FBS tape. Thank you.

About 6 hours total, prep to finish. Thank you.

FBS tape was used in this video. FBS has a wide range of tapes for the graphic process including 1/16” & 1/8” tapes which contours well with bends when, for example, taping out a flame design. 3M also makes good tapes which are equally used at Createx for our paint projects. Thank you.

@@CreatexColors thanks for the tips I really appreciate it 🤙🏽

A motorcycle helmet can accept standard solvent-based degreasers without affecting the helmet's surface or structural integrity. Try cleaning with a degreaser such as PPG SX320. Than you.

@@CreatexColors thank you! i had been told to not ever use any solvent based product when i was painting helmets, and its made product choice difficult, i appreciate your reply and information!

To keep line width consistent, only pull tape enough to straighten it, not to stretch it. Thank you.

@@CreatexColors I've pulled too hard before, the tape would spring back and fail to adhere. The tape stretch also made the width narrower in the middle.

There's a variety of methods for taping graphics. Thank you.

yeah Im sure you could do it that way, matter of fact I was a bit surprised he didn't do it like that, seemed like kind of a waste of tape in my opinion, but to each their own.

candy2o Black can always be used as a tint to colors to create a darker tone. Remember, once candy2o is added to the mix, bleeding is a potential so a coat of 4040 Bleed Checker may be required before top-coating with more color, createxcolors.com/additives-thinners-cleaners-more/additives/4040.html. Thank you.

@@CreatexColors sorry I'm new to this custom paint work what do you mean by bleed.

candy2o are dyes, not pigments, to which leaching into top-coated colors can be an issue. For more information, please refer to the candy2o and 4040 Bleed Checker tech data sheets available at www.creatextech.com. Thank you.

3M 218 or FBS Lebleu. Thank you.

thanks, and yes, Chris gets a lot of Paul Walker references, which is kinda true.

Sometimes, here the process of use of inter-cot is set forth in the video. Often an inter-coat is not technically necessary but is still done as a matter of technique. Thank you.

@@CreatexColors regardless, great video! Slowly getting back into painting and finding some info on the rust I need to brush off🤣🤣👍🏻

We recommend dry sanding; wet sanding a water-based clear such as UVLS soon after it has dried hard enough to sand is not good for the clear, just as using the reducer of a 2k clear to wet-sand it soon after applying it. Dry sanding is much better as the dried clear is still curing, and water reverts that process. If dry enough, "damp" sanding can be done in that water is used a lubricant while sanding, yet not allowing the water to pool & sit on the clear. For more, please refer to our Hard-Surface Application guide, and UVLS Tech Sheet, available at www.creatextech.com. Thank you.

@@CreatexColors yes I have smeared the still curing colour on so many jobs over the years. Clearing the sanded debris asap is my focus these days

Yes, AutoBorne Sealer, www.autoborne.com, and 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear, www.uvlsclears.com, both are excellent direct to wood primers. Thank you.

thanks
