GloryHound. My thoughts of a painter, When doing custom jobs
like pearls and tri coats, kandys you need a painter that has done it and knows what he is doing, You take a painter and all
he does is paint insurance jobs then no he is not a custom painter.
I'm not saying he's not good but in my eyes he is no custom painter. Then you got these painters and they work at car dealerships and places like maco in my eyes their not a custom painter. You find a shop and all they do is customs and restorations you are more apt to find a custom painter.
On custom jobs the painter needs to work in coats of 3 and
what i'm trying to say is they can go back and touch up a spot
if it gets damaged and 85% chance they can match it back,
i will show you a picture of a helmet and to get the color that you
see on this helmet.
I started with silver first and the ony reason i painted it silver first is so the pin stripe would show up. Then i taped out my flames
and where the flames go i painted it pink then where the flame didn't go i painted it purple then i put brandywine kandy over the whole helmet. So see i did this in coats of 3 silver and 3 coats
of purple and 3 coats pink and then 3 coats of kandy.
So that's why when you pick your painter for custom jobs
you need to pick a good one not just your everyday painter.
On these tri coats and pearls and heavy metallics he need to know how to lay it down.
When painting these paints you got to spray it in more than one
direction so you want get streaks. And yes some custom work
can't be touched up!
Thanks, Tony
p.s If i can be of any help please let me know.
