this is probably one the easiest to watch tutorials on painting flake ever. thank you! cant wait for the next one.

Working on rebuilding my sportster decided I wanted to make it a old school work of art I can't tell you how thankful I am for this video along with the candy paint video I plan on doing something similar with two shades of red and a gold flake base thanks for the inspiration

Spraying silver base helps with giving the substrate that 100% coverage Spray mini flake 1st to give the succeeding flakes to embed and melt into to help lat down instead of standing up, then spray Jumbo flakes, then spray mini flake again to fill the This process helps the flake lay smoother for less flow coating & color sanding

Watched all your videos over and over. Im gonna try a wild emerald green candy paint job on my Harley. I’m sure the flat black will look great when I’m finished...

[philfioresi]

So using Black as a base makes the flake pop more? The look after clear is nice, can you sand and do some candy colors over then clear I've been thinking of giving it a try but want to have a plan

Hey, hello there amazing jobs that u have done. They are insane.
I’m about to start one of your projects on my bike. But I got one question. In the prime face, where u wrote “2-3 coats” that means that I have to prime it one time, leave it drive primer again, dry last for the last time OR in the first time I have to prime giving 3 circles around the tank!?.
Thanks you for ur time.

Can you do a tutorial regarding taping designs, for a vintage cafe racer look? Like the multi pin stripe taping and over lapping stripe taping.

[fernandosouza]

Adam, outstanding.
You're awesome.

[victorcasillas]

Can you show the technique for spraying.

[victorcasillas]

What’s the best alternative for a spray booth. I want to start doing it in my back yard.

[Raj-cffe]

Nice ...
Question: For a Black Candy Paint... Which base colour is better? Black or Silver?
Which paint gun are you using?

[elvisc]

Great video, I have a couple questions, don’t you have to spray sealer before the base coat? Question to say my base coat is a ruby red how what the final product come out with ruby red metal flake?

[mickeywarren]

Thanks for awesome videos what compressor do you use

[herbiewolfe]

I hope that I am not a pain but why go from blocking the guide coat to the da sander. I assume with 600 grit? What is better da or block. I am doing my first tank. I am at the por 15 tank inside seal. and tank imperfections (dents) are being puttied and sanded.

[joshstibal]

Love your work man! These videos are great! I’m so glad you made these! Learned a bunch can’t wait to give it a shot!

[tyrbjrn]

After primer how long do you wait to paint it black. And then after you shoot the metal flakes. And Then how long after that to clear it? After clear how long to start airbrushing and then final clear? Looks like you did it all in one day.
