Switched up..

Decided to redo the lids for the previous video I posted..decided to really make them come from nowhere..in last video you can see the black was too strong where I now faded the base back in..so when kandy goes on it’ll be a clean break.oh and the white shit was a quickie from other day😂

Has anyone used waterbase ground for custom candy?

I have remnants of a waterbase scheme that I'd like to use up and my own car that I want to do some custom, layered candy. I've got various grades of metallic so I want to do a simple 3 stripe design under the tinted clear. I've done this before with solvent but I've never tried it with waterbase. Somethings telling me that even with good prep the masking is more likely to peel waterbase than it would be solvent. Does anyone have any experience with this? Should I trust my instinct or just roll with it and see what happens?

Finally 98% Finished

I am FINALLY 98% finished with my golf cart. I still have to finish mounting rear lights, mount a few switches etc, but otherwise it's finally done. I know it's not everyone's taste, but it's what I wanted it to be and that's what's important to me. It has been a lot of work and money, but it's also been very therapeutic for me. I have gained a lot of respect for the folks who do this for a living, and or hobby. I learned to weld, fabricate, do body work the right way, paint (hopefully the right way) and fight through a daily struggle with ADHD to stick with a project through the end. Now I just need a few months to finish some other projects around the house, while rebuilding my bank account and I will find another project that I can do some painting on.

Second attempt at custom paint.

Painted the fender and tank to match the frame. I finished it last night. Its leaves for Montreal this morning haven’t had a chance to fix any runs but I’m pretty happy with the out come. If I was given more than a week I’m sure I could have done better.

2 tone

Probably the worst thing you can do.looks good after kandy but man that split in basecoats requires you to friskit off the tips and had cut them out AND retape the flames on one side🤦‍♂️😂DEF my least favorite thing to do😂

Metal Boss Hoss custom motorcycle airbrush painting - by Aerografit

I hope you will like my post.
I usually paint mainly helmets (as Aerografit Studio in Poland), but this is one of the full motorcycle sets I had the pleasure of airbrush painting. As you can see, it’s a complete kit for a Boss Hoss custom bike. What do you think about this style of paintwork? Opinions were divided at the time. It’s of course one of my older projects, but I’m curious about your opinion as people from outside my country.

So, i wainting for your honest opinions.

Can I roller/brush spray prepped paint?

Ive been trying to find a cost efficient way to paint my car orange (im doing a garfield theme) as its got some scratches from the previous owner and I found a paint, which is exactly the color I want, but its "ready to spray laquer" and I dont really have the space or money to buy a spray system. Would I be able to use a paint roller to apply it once I prep my car? Please give me tips, ive never done something like this
