Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Painting Iron Man Armor, Part 2!

Now that his Iron Man Mark I suit has been chrome painted and sealed, it's time for Adam to apply the washes that will tell the story of the armor's age and construction! Using acrylic-based paint, rubbing alcohol, water, rags and elbow grease over his lacquer base coat, Adam refines his technique to the point that he has finite control over his weathering. It's one of Adam's finest paint jobs to date, and he caps off his build by trying on the costume in full!

Part 3: "Hey, Adam Savage here, today we build an arc reactor using the salvaged parts of a Patriot missile.""

Adam's hair really ads to the whole "mad scientist" vibe he's got going on lol, it's a good look.

[WIImotionmasher]

Having Adam Savage stare into your eyes with no emotion while he claps gloved hands together is a terrifying experience

[hey_how_are_ya]

You bring the child like wonder out from all of us. Stay awesome

[JCBeastie]

Adam stomping about in his costume making flamethrower noises is just the cutest darn thing lol.

Adam talking about removing paint for weathering reminds me a lot of Baumgartner Restoration. There's a lot of overlap in skills required for what Adam is doing with his weathering and what Baumgartner does in paint restoration as far as knowing what paints react to which solvents. Love watching masters display their skills!

Adam: Just add a few happy rust spots here and there. Don't worry, there are no mistakes. Just happy accidents.
He's like the bob ross of cosplay makers.

It was at 4:22 when the effects of Adam’s isolation finally took their toll

Watching Paint Dry is Awesome with you

A claustrophobic cavern of creation! An icon of incalculable intelligence! Molding men and metal to his means! He is... Adam Savage! The part-time superhuman.

Adam literally demonstrates crack addict tenacity and enthusiasm in this weathering process. I freaking love it.

[ddummer]

A nice addon would be some sort of soft black foam inside the chest area so you wont get a gap between your body and the suit to allow a more ridgid feel from all sides. :)

Hello Adam I want to say thank you for what impact you have had on me I’m only 14 but when you were on mythbusters you taught me to problem solve and look for new angles since discovery+ came out I have watched every mythbusters episode you have taught me a lot thank you

[Virtus]

The entire build he has been excited about getting to paint Ironman mark I and you can really see the happiness and excitement in the video. This is why I love to watch his videos, he truly loves what he does.

[Engitainment]

A cinematic reveal of this would be INCREDIBLE, that is a staggering amount of detail and work, and it deserves a good showing off!

[TwoSousand]

I shook my head in wonderment as you donned the suit. Its hard to convey my absolute adoration of your work Adam.

[lonestardude]

I JUST LOVE that Adam wears his Omega Speed-master on every video like it's a G-Shock! Hell I have G-Shocks that I remove when work gets hard and dirty.

[robertweeks]

i loved how the head would continuously bob around!! love it!

[rebeccatitmas]

The gloves segment legitimately put the biggest smile on my face 😄
