@@johncameron6864 how do you mean? This wheel was literally my only time as a painter using shadow chrome and it seem to match the original wheel pretty spot on. But happy to know more about it if you’re happy to explain it doesn’t hurt to keep learning :)

It’s a solvent sealer and only the base is waterbourne mate I personally love pot envirobase I find the colours cover very well and the matches are really good too

That’s awesome that you were able to take the time and step outside your comfort zone to try something new!

Most big name brands have their own versions of shadow chrome this is ppgs version I like it and it works well in my opinion but reach out to what’s around you and fits your budget is the best advice I can offer

It’s just where the factory e-coat was still on there a little but not really a big deal at all mate it was that thin that it made no difference to the finish, it was a lot of extra free work that wasn’t suppose to be done

Haha yeah mate I am sorry there’s no more content I don’t paint cars anymore unfortunately

@@bigred3188 Any advice on which editing app to use, so as to start my own UA-cam Channel? TYVM and best wishes! 👍

You’re welcome thank you for the great content keep it up!

No mate this is a product from ppg itself it comes premixed called chrome shadow, I’m not sure if it’s available globally or only in my country being Australia, I do believe other manufactures make similar products under their own product lines so it’s something I would ask your reps about hope that helps

5 coats is a lot but if you are going to flow coat it you are going to sand it back first making sure to remove all the dirt etc so technically you will be removing 1-2 layers of clear as you sand it back so I would say if you do that then apply two more coats it will be fine just remember to allow for flashing in between

@@bigred3188 oh ok. What grit would you sand it with?

@@bigred3188 I started sanding my hood getting it ready to flow coat. I started with 600 grit dry on the da, then moved to 800 grit dry on the da. For some reason the clear is clogging my sandpaper and leaving pigtails. I mixed the clear 2 to 1 per tds. The hood air dried for 2 days. High temperatures been in the 80' and low in the 50's. Can you think of what could cause that or a way to fix it, or is that something that I may would have to strip it and start over

to me it doesn’t sound fully cured it’s still soft try seeing if you can leave an indent with your thumb nail if so still fresh and honestly the grit paper to use depends on how bad the condition of the finish if it’s not too bad I usually just denib any spots with 600-800 dry or 1000-1200 wet then sand the whole thing back 800 dry carefully but once again depends on the condition of the finish and what you are trying to achieve and if you are fully cured or not but seeing as you have 3 coats on there I’m leaning towards you need to cure for longer

I don’t like it myself either but I’m not the boss I don’t get to choose whether they take them off or not sadly

Thank you

Not recommended you are better to plastic prime then high build prime

Correct this is a 2k top coat which contains the hardener so there no need to 2k clear over it but you can if you want to just needs to flash off properly

Around 1.5 turns on fluid tip and full fan mate

@@bigred3188 thank you

This is epoxy primer which is solvent but the Ppg system I believe is water Bourne

It’s just 2k direct gloss black then it’s ppgs chrome shadow over the top then Ppg clear

@@bigred3188 Thanks, I found the formula in the official PPG site in a PDF with the paint codes :)

@@varelq hi, would you share the formula pls

​@@varelq you're so right a56 looks so shit comparing to this

Thanks mate glad you liked it

That’s good mate it comes in handy and is a great skill to have

Thanks mate it’s just part of what you gotta do really

@@bigred3188 Do you have to wet sanding between epoxy primer coats if you leave the coat to dry for more than 24 hours?

@@GabrieLight that all depends on the manufactures recommendations mate some allow you to go days before needing to be resanded and some require it only after a few hours

@@bigred3188 Thanks for reply!

@@GabrieLight you are very welcome it doesn’t always come up when I get a comment but I do try to reply to everyone and help out where I can I might even start making new videos again soon

Gary Murphy there is no colour code for the silver it’s a tin of chrome shadow it’s called you buy it from ppg it’s a special silver

Scott Herr yeah mate it’s a really good product I feel it’s one of the best in my opinion hopefully you can get your hands on some

Scott Herr hey mate thanks for taking the time to watch my video and to help you out this epoxy is 410-48248, as far as hybrid I’m not sure what you mean but you apply this then do any body work needed then you must hi fill primer over the top or wet on wet (sealer) you cannot top coat straight over this epoxy I hope that helps answer your question my friend

Mark Chacon honestly I’m not sure what you would have access to as I’m in Australia but one product I know of is call all you need and it is an epoxy that allows you to seal any bare metal and sticks to bare metal and you can top coat over it but I haven’t personally so I’m not sure but if you get yourself and etch primer spray that first then hifill prime straight over it after 30mins then once dry sand it down and paint over it mate

Alexander Pirpiris yes I can’t agree more envirobase is a great paint line thats for sure and I left for a little while but it didn’t take me long to find my way back haha thanks I enjoyed making the videos

Shawn Lynch no after the epoxy primer I put wow over it (sealer/non sanding primer)

AMAZING MEANN I’ve never personally used or even seen a brown epoxy primer but it doesn’t mean there isn’t, most epoxy primers required you to spray hi build primer or surfacer over it before applying paint so generally the colour of the epoxy won’t really matter

@@bigred3188 could you just apply clear coat over epoxy primer? that green tan look looks good

maybe you could tint it

@@joebotelho248 I wouldn’t recommend it mate but speak to your paint supplier it might be possible

Nithin Naidu thanks for the tip but have no problem with the coverage using the ppg recommended ground coats 👍🏻

Nithin Naidu thank you for taking the time to watch my video and you are also not wrong sometimes it helps to put a similar colour down as a ground

All Ppg for this one mate Ppg shadow Chrome and Ppg clear

Ppg clear coat but matte, satin or gloss ?

charlotte quillen yeah gives people a good idea of my world 🤙🏼

Manuel Bou only denib and polish and pieces of dirt that need it otherwise no don’t cut it back and polish it all there’s no need
