Absolutely love the color GT, but have to ask you please start wearing a mask brother!!! I lost my younger brother to lung cancer, he was only 52!!! We want to keep watching you for many many years, take care, ur pal!!!
I agree my friend, lost my uncle who was a painter. He had a Black Swarm on his brain from breathing in the toxic chemicals due to not wearing a mask !
Sorry for your loss! 🙏 I have a mask, but after leaving it outside for months, I saw what I believe was mold and instead of washing it I didn't use it. Trust, I won't do another paintjob without wearing a mask! Thanks for your support🙌
I use alcohol swabs to wipe out my respirator before each use. I have two masks, one with lead asbestos filters for sanding and one with paint filters for spraying. Great video, stay safe Bro!
Beautiful job. Love the metallic finish. I like Rustoleum paints, but you definitely made the right decision to seal it first. Good work man. And in my opinion using the automotive paint instead of the rattle can. I think in the long run it’ll adhere better.
Somebody is gonna have a sick ass looking one of a kind four wheeler. I bet that thing pops in the sunlight. Nice job.... I was so disappointed that you didn't chhose the copper, not really now.
Looks fantastic, now I need my 97 GMC RCSB Sierra K1500 resprayed in this exact combo... I was initially personally thinking Porsche Aventurine Green Metallic (it's slightly lighter green metallic, with both silver and bronze overtones) hit with a light copper or bronze pearl after the base, and then a few more straight clears for some depth, this looks so much like what I was expecting, minus the silverly overtone from Porsche's specific green, this looks more like a much darker and bronzer version of their Rock Green Metallic.
I am wondering why you did not put the clearcoat on at first as you knew that the body had sunburnt areas and clean areas. I like the green and I used the Hunt Club Green on my Suburban with the second color being Midnight Blue. My vehicle will be out in the woods a lot so I chose the satin finish over the gloss.
This is looking great so far, I haven’t gotten to the clear with pearls yet. I have a question about flexibility??? These bodies are always moving, even just installing them sometimes requires twisting the body into place. I am very interested in how this looks after installation… and after a few months of use.
Great job! The only bad thing is HDPE,polyethylene or poly propylene all have releasing agents so you have to flame treat them plastic to remove it or no paint will ever stick and bond properly! That why original paint flaked off so easily!
The pink paint on the body resembles a graphic dip process. Similar to adding paint drops to baking soda and water to create a design and dipping a guitar body in it
Great video, and absolutely beautiful melds of color. If there's any way you could make a video with the f8 green and the copper also... It just melds. Thanks.
Hey bro, I"m fixing to spray my Bronco with flat OD green. What do you think would happen if I did the same thing you did over that green? What would the clear look like over the flat OD green? They have some really nice green effects on the webb sight.
That F8 green looks great! I was thinking about going with a stock green color for my ‘71 Toyota FJ40, but this F8 might look even better. (The pearl looks fantastic, but not a good fit for an old Land Cruiser, I think)
What pearl would look good over teal I'm painting a jeep wrangle yj for my 14 year old granddaughter and she wants teal but after watching your videos I would love to take it a little farther for her I'm color blind that's why I'm asking for your help thank you in advance
I love these videos. You do a great job of explaining the how's and why's of your process. Has anybody used rolio pigments? I'd love to see the results
it's nice to see someone show that things don't always turn out right the first time and that you need to fix things- but the color that he picked out-the ( hunter green ) is a lot darker than the paint that you put on, and why did you not put a light coat on the bottom before you started?
Just ran across your channel and checked out this crazy sick looking green with the bronze flake. Man that like 4 wheeler got a top notch paint job. I really enjoyed watching you this. I’m a concrete man but you got me checking this painting stuff out! Thank you.
Hey bro, I just found your channel. I love that lill ATV project, quick tip : try using oven oven cleaner and leave it over night. In the morning use a green pad with soap and water, paint will was off and still retain the grain and detail from plastic. (old school model builders paint removal trick) .
Nice job! I wonder if you added the base material to the clear and used it like a single stage. So many options. Not just one way to get great results.
For sure, but sometimes you gotta work with what you got. I'm thinking this is all shot in a short amount of time in order to get edited and posted. Just my thought anyway. I would imagine it's gotta look sharp in person,even in sunlight the camera just doesn't do it justice.
Looks awesome! I was team copper but think the bronze was the correct choice. Although I would still be curious to see a small test panel with the copper as an experiment.
I'm using sample pearls from amzn.to/49DdTfe The clearcoat is Besney: www.ebay.com/itm/235436299189?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=1YXGfv1MRM2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=CTAfxORLSuu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Spray gun is the Spectrum HTE 1.3 www.harborfreight.com/premium-hte-gravity-feed-air-spray-gun-with-side-fan-control-64824.html And the basecoat is "F8 Green" color code ( PFQ ) 😎👍
I know you have been painting a long time... But should mixing be done by volume or weight? Mixing a paint color is done by weight... But paint to reducer ratio is done by volume. 1:1 weight is very different than 1:1 volume. The paint is heavier than reducer.
The gallon is 128oz and comes with a quart of activator (32oz), so in order for me to follow the 4:1 ratio, I'm trying to add equal amounts.. ex. 20oz of clear with 5oz activator, makes 25oz ready to spray. I usually don't add reducer to clear, but this Besney was a bit thicker than most clearcoats I've used, so at this point its just to thin it down to personal preference. Then I'll adjust the spray gun. For basecoat, it really depends if it's coverage you're looking for or finish. The less you reduce, the easier to cover your panel, but the metallic won't be as even. The more you reduce, the better the finish, but at lesser coverage.. since the paint is too thin.
Can you do black base with copper pearl on the fenders? I have a black Tahoe with the dub ballers copper face black barrels. Would like to add a little depth to my Tahoe to pop with the rims.
