@@michaelcoddington6117 thank you very much!

Thanks for subbing!

@@MF_XCIII thanks for the suggestion! I tried the 4050 on the second project I tried, and it definitely laid down a bit nicer.

That’s sick dude! I’d eventually like to repaint my car in the same style, it’s just a matter of finding the time!

@@thedude7450 the inflatable booth is definitely a handy piece of equipment to have! Spraying small stuff used to take me the better part of 2-3 hours masking off the garage to prevent overspray from getting on my plethora of junk and car parts lol, now it takes maybe a half hour to get set up. Even automotive paint will need to be wet sanded and buffed if you want a “perfectly” flat finish. Don’t get me wrong, you can certainly get a nice finish “off the gun” without any polishing, but due to the nature of paint and clearcoat, it will never be perfectly flat. Now I see all the posts on Instagram/facebook/tiktok etc where guys say they “spray glass” every time and their paint is perfectly smooth, and that you’re “doing it wrong” if your clearcoat doesn’t lay down perfectly. This is all utter nonsense. I can usually see the orange peel (and it is often bad) in most of those videos, so take all that with a grain of salt haha. You can hide a lot of imperfections on camera as well, trust me, I’m a painter hahaha. Now it it’s possible to minimize your orange peel by changing your technique. I’ve never used a rattle can 2k clear, but one of the most common reasons for a highly textured finish is because the product is being applied too light, and doesn’t go on heavy enough to “flow out”. Doing multiple light coats of clear is going to compound the issue, because more and more texture is added to the finish with every coat. So next time you have a project on the go, set up a piece you can test on at the same time. Try moving a little slower, overlapping a little more, or move a little closer to the panel as you spray. All of these things are going to allow more product to land on the panel, so maybe just change up one variable at a time to see if you like the results.

@@danandratis thanks man! Cheers back from Canada!

I have a question, how do you clean the spray gun after use, so you can use it again with the same result?

@@albertveli thank you!

@@albertveli I have a video on that! ua-cam.com/video/rMndLA8t1rA/v-deo.htmlsi=GNc3zYHSdH9qxVwL

@@flyinphil6884 Great. It does seem like a bit of work though, if you paint 1 tack layer and 2 normal layers with the same paint, do you need to clean the gun like this between each layer?

Sorry, I guess I should have clarified that more in the video! You clean your gun after you are done spraying each “layer” of product. So you spray your 2-3 coats of base, then clean your gun. Spray however many coats of clear (depending on the project), then clean the gun. There are exceptions, of course, but this is the most common way to do it. One of these exceptions is spraying flake. I will usually dump the flake back into my mixing cup after spraying a coat so that it doesn’t settle and clog up my gun. I will then rinse the gun with a little thinner and leave a little thinner in the gun while I wait for my coat to flash off. Then I pour out the thinner before adding the flake back in for my next coat. If you read the tds (technical data sheet) for your products, it will usually have a “pot life” which is the time period that the product is sprayable before it starts hardening up. Theoretically, You can leave product sitting in your gun for that period of time before you have to dump it out and clean your gun.

@@timziegler3765 haha, as someone who grew up loving woodworking, I know how you feel! However, I’m still extremely happy with the end results.

Thank you very much!

@@SweetTGuitars thanks for the tip!

@@SweetTGuitars thanks so much dude!

Sata actually makes a pneumatically agitated cup! If I were spraying flake every day I would probably invest in one, but it is just every once in a while that I would need it.

It’s not so much and adhesion issue, more of a problem with how the paint “sags” around sharp corners. That’s an interesting idea, though, I’ll definitely keep it in mind!

Is there something you are trying to say coherently here? 😅

@@BradAngove thanks a ton, Brad! It was a fun project, and I’m glad you reached out to me to be a part of it!

@@mattliebenau9083 good luck with your painting! Just be ready for the immense mess that spraying flake makes. My garage floor is covered in flake just from being tracked in and out of the booth, and my 3 year old daughter makes fun of my “sparkly shoes” that I wore when spraying this guitar about 3 weeks ago haha.

Thanks for the input, Jonah, I greatly appreciate it! Now the whole thing will have to get sanded down again for two reasons: the texture of the flake needs to be knocked down, and Brad will be doing some more graphics over top of the flake. While it won’t 100% get rid of that edge, I’ll run it by Brad to do the final clear up to the edge of the frets line you mentioned, which will help smooth things out. Again, thanks for the suggestion! I’ll keep that in mind for the next guitar I spray. From Brad’s videos alone, I’ve seen how helpful and knowledgeable the guitar-building community is, and how willing you guys are to share your tricks and tips with other makers. I’m always keen to learn more and take pointers from others who are more experienced than me!

@flyinphil6884 After this, hopefully, we'll get to see you spray more guitars in the future. Again, I do thank you for lending your expertise on this project, and I can't wait to see the final product in person!!! I know the video doesn't do the flake justice on this one.

@@bigkahuna100 I’m extremely happy with how this one turned out, and definitely excited to spray more guitars in the future! I might have to pull one of my own guitars off the wall (and dust it off) and do some crazy paint work. Every time I paint a project, i try to learn something new, and this one is no exception. That’s probably one of my favourite aspects of painting as a career, there is always room to improve and you never stop learning.

went to comment the same thing! I usually like the clear right up to the edge (face) of the fretboard, and then when I come back and round the fretboard and do my fret ends, you can't feel it at all. All that said, that flake is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for the tips on laying it down in thinner coats.

@@collinschipper9248thanks for watching!

Thank you very much!

@@gm-lb9oe hey man! I’m in a small town just outside of Edmonton, but I do live in a neighbourhood with other houses nearby. Being considerate of your neighbours is super important when doing stuff like this in the garage. Fortunately, the corner of the yard that my garage is situated in, it butts up to my neighbours’ garages as well, and not their houses. That being said, I usually spray my projects at night after my kids are in bed. I’ll usually start spraying around 8-9 at night and finish around 1 in the morning. I do filter the fumes as best I can, and I’ve recently started running my exhaust hose into a tire full of water (I’ve seen guys use barrels online), which also greatly reduces the fumes being sent into the atmosphere. I think another key component is that I don’t spray at home very often, and it is usually very small projects. I could see it becoming a nuisance if someone were spraying big projects (like cars) in a residential area, or if they were spraying multiple times a week.

I’m happy to be a part of it!

@@cottontailsarah I did not! Even thick graphics kits would not be up to that kind of abuse!

@@av8or971 really? How so? I have Akzo Nobel training and 4 autobody tickets, and have been painting professionally for over 6 years if it counts for anything.

For sure! I’ve tried that since then in one of my later videos, and I was very happy with the results.

@@flyinphil6884 but the black base is still nice. But , it’s just the look you want. And with candy and or flake it’s the look after ifs finished. I had some candy once I was painting a friends mc tank , I put 4 base coats down and candy on top. Yeh made it harder for myself lol, but that’s the thing with custom painting. To many variables

@@jondoe8816 That’s what makes custom painting fun. I enjoy just spraying speed shapes and test pieces to see what results I can get!

Thank you!

Thank you very much!

@@hyperkryptix go for it dude! That’s why I post, hoping I can help someone else out with their own stuff!

@@flyinphil6884 ok thanks. love the vids.i modeled a mount for the light i have i wanted to make it detachable so i turned it into a gopro mount

@@hyperkryptix that’s an awesome idea!

@@corys876 thank you!

Thank you so much!

Do you think the vevor yellow one are explosion proof ?

No worries man! I was in the same boat, and there aren’t many reviews or videos of these little booths. I’m glad I bit the bullet and got one, though. While it is no substitute for a real booth, it has been fantastic for the first few little projects I sprayed. The pvc skeleton is a must, as I’ve been able to kick the booth off about 20 minutes after finishing my spraying.

Thank you!

I wish I had had the time to set up a second camera in landscape mode! Unfortunately, this one will only be “short form”, but I am working on another cool truck in the shop right now that might just get a full video, I just have to talk with the owner about it!

Thank you very much!

Haha thanks buddy! You’re the best

I added a like for the algorithm as well. But I enjoyed the work.

@@johnlanthier9047 thank you very much!

Gave a like too, I know how hard it is doing pinstripes for paint

@@marty3469 thanks Marty!

Just a 6” light bar from Amazon. If you check my channel, I have a couple videos on how I fabricated the mount for it and the fairing, as well as how I wired it all in.

Oh I know you like to watch!

Depends where you are in the country I suppose. Houses are still affordable (for now) in a good portion of Alberta. My wife and I have owned our house since our late 20’s (neither of us are 35 yet) she went to university, I work in the trades. As for show trucks… this one was built by a local heavy duty diesel shop as a showcase for the kind of work they put out. The shop I work for did the body and paint, but they did all of the engine work, wiring, etc.

Thanks dude!

Dude your work is perfect massive Respekt​@@flyinphil6884

@@flyinphil6884 dude your Talent is mindblowing

@@bluecolourhustle thanks so much, it means a lot!

Edmonton area! Good eye haha.

​@@flyinphil6884 Love seeing Alberta content, roll Oilers!

My ppg guy did a fantastic job matching the waterborne paint that was used on the body of the truck!

Iwata NEO CN airbrush, and a “snap on” 20 gallon compressor. I don’t have a small airbrush compressor.
