Some cool basic techniques explained on using kandys and taping to create cool custom lowrider style paint jobs, using a 1/24 scale can and Impala as the examples. Enjoy!
@@mattyscustomscale you can say that again. skills do develop, however slowly. Years ago I lost many a decal, now I put them back in the water and unfurl them. I've gotten very good at stripping, sanding and rescribing panel gaps. Toughest thing to fix, is a crushed A pillar , for me anyway.
This is just crazy doing this at this scale!!! Looks great! I have done flames by drawing them on a piece of tape that was on a glass plate like you work with. Cutting them out and transferring the mask, etc. And I'm always looking for lace that's small enough to use on 1/25 scale cars, so now I've got a new place to look for that. Thanks for the great video and you won't have to worry about any competition from me trying to do this with my skills!
24K variegated gold leaf? To the best of my knowledge there is no such thing--24K gold is always plain genuine gold, never variegated. As for variegated metal leaf (I've got lots of it--some of the best is from Italy) they're all alloys, mostly containing copper but no genuine gold. I have some aluminum leaf that looks a lot like real silver. I haven't built a model in ages but want to get back into it with cars....I've been an airbrush artist for 42 years and have some cool ideas for paint jobs. Your work here is fantastic! Though I'm not much of a lowrider car fan I have always been fascinated with their elaborate, complicated paint schemes....to do the same kind of paint jobs on scale model cars just boggles my mind! Much respect!
I dig your paint jobs. I've always appreciated those candy paint jobs those guys lay down on them low riders. One day maybe I will get half as good . Lol.
@@mattyscustomscale wow ..ive accidentally sprayed urethane candy over acrylic enamel and got wrinkle paint .? Absolutely love your paintjobs ....ive built a 1/ 8 scale uncertain T ..but havent found any metallic orange model paint ... but if auto paint works im golden ... thanks so much for a response ... ill keep watchin ..
A lot of the paints on this are from Tropical Glitz and House of Color. Start with a good sparkly silver metallic base, then choose the candies you want for the patterns over it
