Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Painting Iron Man Armor!

What is Adam's favorite part of making? The paint, of course! Wanting a beaten-up, shiny metal finish for his Iron Man Mark I suit, Adam applies a gloss black undercoat, adds liquid chrome, then seals it all with a clear coat. But the job's only half done; Adam needs to wait a week for the paint to cure before he can start weathering (which will be another One Day Build)!

I LOVED those masking jump cuts! Hahahaha! Well done editor 👍 not sure if it's been said before but whoever edits these videos does a bang up job every time

1:24 I love how Ironman's head keeps agreeing with everything Adam says, lol.

I believe the best way to describe Adams props isn’t replicas, it’s remixes. They have the same lyrics, but they carry a different tune.

It makes me happy to see how happy he is painting :D

[ultragkart]

I love how Adam explained how the concepts from graphic design and figure painting apply to prop painting. Fascinating!

44:26 Painting dance when you summon gods of painting and ask them your paint dries faster! :)))

OH MY GOD ADAM!!!! A jigsaw with a small onehanded bar clamp is the BEST paint shaker for little paints in existence. I've tried basically every kind, the medical kind, nail polish shakers etc. a jigsaw can't be beaten and all you have to do is grind down the bar of the clamp to fit!! If ever there was a tool tip/ an actual one-day build it's this.

Does Adam have some kind of crazy ceiling extraction system? The paint particles are going straight up.

Do you want everything in your shop to be silver? Because this is how you get everything in your shop to be silver. Sweet!

[austinreppert]

hey Adam, honestly really enjoy watching you work while I get my own homework done. Thank you for being you.

[BossTweed]

Im literally just on a coffee break from painting my 3d printed iron man mk3 armour and this video popped up haha good timing 👍

[punishedprops]

Amazing paint work and I love the foam butt plate!

[barrysmith]

Rhythm is a dancer. There’s rhythm in everything you do. “ I knew you can dance” I can only imagine. Go Adam go Adam go Adam. And you killing it.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽. Oh yeah nice paint job. Thanks.

[thanosthefarmer]

This is by far my favorite project you’ve done on the channel. Keep up the good work!

[unojonjero]

Adam is my kind of Bob Ross. Love watching the process!

[pastafari]

Your philosophizing on the process of art & composition makes me want to paint all of my BattleTech minis

[BlinkyTrigger]

A man like DaVinci would weep in pure joy looking at JUST your notebooks and sketches. You may not be a career oil painter, but the Samaritan is clearly be a masterpiece.

[kaylinevans]

Yes!!! Give that Art History Shout Out! Makes my art historian heart happy!!!!

I loved the editing with tape at 32:49 Looked like magic!
