- Опубліковано 30 гру 2021
- Happy New Year Everyone! It's been a great year and ready to see what comes with 2022. Thank you for all the support in my journey to help ordinary people learn the art of custom paint. I will be laying out some lowrider style graphics with a spun silver leaf accent. I will show you how easy leafing really is using LiME LiNE sizing glue, spinnable silver leafing, leaf roller and duster.
You can get all the paint and materials that I use on Amazon www.amazon.com/shop/influence...

Do you have to clean the air brush differently when you run the glue vs normal paint?
Yes absolutely 100%
@@TimeWarpCustomPaint so I’d just run some lacquer thinner through it?
Water to clean up the glue. I use glass cleaner when breaking down and cleaning my airbrush
@@TimeWarpCustomPaint that makes sense! Thanks!
@johndodge9164 thanks for asking that question. I’m about to use this sizing glue for the first time and I wanted to watch this video for any pointers.
Love your Ole school style. Flakes kandies. Leaf. Somethings just never age.
yep ✌️
Dude! You are the man! I was literally thinking about trying to figure this out and had no resources! You are a blessing to this community! Love learning from you!
Probably one of my favorites you've done..
Awesome video, been looking to leaf my tank on my bike, makes it look so easy. Thanks for posting this.... You rock!!!
1/27/2023 Awesome to see all the products you have at your Amazon Link. Congrats on the business, hope it's going well. Love your art.
It’s great leaf. I use it all the time. It’s packaged right as well. Easy to use
Thank you 🙏
Espectacular Maestro 👏 !!!!!! Gracias por el video!!!
Thanks
Great great tutorial. Wish I could have caught it live! Looking forward to the next steps on this one. Thanks for such great and informative content man! You and your lady are great to listen to!
HAPPY NEW YEAR from SE MI!!!
ps.... my gosh I can’t wait to try this!!! Lol
Glad it was helpful!
Very Good skill mate. Well done 👌
Looks good
I watched every you're video
I love your work brother
Thank you so much 😀
Love from India
Merci pour tes vidéos 🙏🤩
Thanks for watching
Fantastic channel, great videos and information, thanks for the inspiration to get out and try my hand at painting bike my own parts - love your work! I'd love to get some of the lime line product but seems everyone is sold out or can't ship to New Zealand.
I use to make gilding brushes (for laying gold leaf) for a company here in NZ many years ago and love this process. Thanks for putting your content out for all to see! Cheers
Great work! Clearing question, can you clear right over silver/gold leafing without sealing it with more gliding to prevent lifting or do you just clean tank with DX330 wax and grease and do a couple light coats. Then a wet coat for final coat? Thanks
If you have trouble with silver or gold leafing. Go to the Experts! Sign painters and Window painters here. Even the Carter’s Steam Circus Artist does lots of old style work. You have some good tutorials there
What have you found the working time of the sizing to be? If you were working on a large project, such as a car, would you do it in sections rather than size the whole car? My biggest problem seems to be setting time. But I was using a craft store water base size. I'm excited to try yours.
Nice turning👍
Thank you I appreciate you watching
nice dude
I almost have everything except for the spin tool and roller. I used to carve leather and then airbrush it with water-soluble acrylics. I want to try this, I think I can do it. I customize bicycles. For the motorized Schwinn, I didn't do any graphics. Now I decided to do a drop shadow on the fonts with my airbrush. I'm doing a kind of new racing BMX and making it look old-school '70s drag-style look black banana seat with chrome sissy bar but using more modern race parts like chromed RS brand park sprockets, complete with gold dice on the valve stems. LOL I think I'll practice this on a piece of glass.
I got an expensive made-in-USA BMX racing frame it probably cost over $800 just for the frame and fork. It's probably the lightest and strongest BMX bike I've ever picked up but they just put adhesive stickers on it. They are coming off after the summer heat of the last racing season. They look awful. I want to put the model name back on it but make it look better. It has a weird font I'll probably cut a tape stencil out for the outline.
Awesome good luck.
I love this konsep
Thanks I appreciate the support
Do you have an issue with the leaf lifting after spraying on the clear is there something you need to do first
Hey can I get a notification for when you are live 🧐 I’m in Melbourne Australia so not sure if our times would suit
Live in two hours
What would it cost to get this painted on a older softail duel tank
can you apply the glue by brush?
Do you use the finish 1 clear on any over all projects I seen it on your shelf in a few videos.its probably my favorite for a cheaper clear?
yes sometimes
You must have a literal wall of tape to do all of these👍👍
Pretty much thanks for
gonna get variated leaf too?
Hi Adam, why do you use sanding pads for burnish instead of velvet . Others always use velvet over cotton balls??
More consistent with a tool and 3000
Gday mate hey when you silver or gold leave isn’t there a way to utilise each sheet of leave when applying it seems like you are wasting a lot
What I see you could get more out of it if you cut individual sheets down size 🤷🏼♂️😂
Okay so I'm looking at building a chopper or bobber here in a year or two and I want it to stand out a little. Do you have any tips for pinstriping when you switch tape widths how you keep width of the area you're going to paint the same width. If that makes sense. Lucky for me I still have some frames and fuel tanks kicking around from my 3 wheeler days to practice on
I like to start out with 8th inch and followed up with 16th inch line line
Adam I ordered the silver leaf .. but don't see any gold
And I also from Lake City UDAIPUR
there are some acryl sizes for leafing on the market, can i use these too or better water based size?
Lime line is the way to go
How much force do you use while spinning the leaf since the leaf is so delicate
If the leaf is glued correctly, you can push light or hard
For the dry time question. It takes around 90 days before the clear comes to full cure. I wouldn't ceramicote until then. Water will sheet on cured clear with no wax or polish on it. Before cure it will bead up like it has wax on it
Do you find the spray on sizing is easier? My biggest problem right now is getting a clean straight line when I tape off and brush the glue on. Seems like the edges will always get a rough look
Yes spray on with LiMELiNE
Can you advise me how to clear over Silver leaf...
I have a 02 harley cvo with silver leaf from factory that's cleared over from factory. And I have a messed up fender that needs repaint. But what I'm seeing is that silver discolora under clear. But my harley is an 02 Fxdwg3 so it been 20 years and it looks amazing.
You will want to scuff it up first.
Does lime line make gold leaf and verigated leaf also, and can the lime line glue be brushed if need be? Thanks alot. Great job
Yes it can be brushed on. gold will be available next month
Thanks
Does temperature matter when it's time to lay down the glue or spin??
yes it does.
What air pressure on the gun?
12-18 psi
I like the colour.
Thanks
I have seen people using a brush to lay the glue down. Why the air brush?
Even coats better leafing results
i usze U-Pol clear the only issyue i have faCED WASD GRAZING BUT IT WADS USED OVERT AUTO AIR THAT WHAD BEEN SITTIN G FOR A WEEK and itv does not like rusolium. i have sprayed u-p-ol oveer krylon no iassue un lessd ouitside the recoat window or somthing contamanting the sub structure. i do guitar custom paint and refinishes.
Do you to clean need the spinner off during the process?
I keep an eye on it, but not necessary
If I paint my tank with both flat paint and a gloss or candy, should I use a a flat clear coat or gloss clear coat or something else? Also, what masking tape do you use for covering the large areas and what paper do you use to also cover large areas?
I use Vibac masking tape. You will want to use gloss clear with metal flake
We are ordering your gold leaf kit tonight is there anything thing else I’d need to get started we are purchasing off of Amazon should we order from your website? Thanks 🙏
Amazon is great. The sizing glue and spinner if you want that look.
@@TimeWarpCustomPaint yep I think it’s around 100 bucks I appreciate you buddy
Adam I think if you offered the complete kit with roller and brush you could get more and pay just a little more and have everything just a suggestion we went on Amazon and order those today can’t wait I couldn’t have done this without you thanks 🙏
hello, there are several attempts I make, but with unsatisfactory results, I can't create circles correctly .. what material is the pad made of to create the circles? I am going crazy! 🤦
5000 grit
@@TimeWarpCustomPaint thank you friend ! 👍
All about who’s taxable the mostest
What should I do if it beads up when I spray the sizing glue?
remove it with rubbing alcohol
On tanks with flush bungs like on a late 80's softail. What have you had your best luck as far as the paint edge around it? I've had a lot of issue with the gas creeping under the paint film around there.
How long do you have to wait before you clear?
You don’t have to wait
Do you need to use distilled water?
No
Jesus that tank's as big as a motorcy... oh... I see. It's up close to the camera
Why does my leaf shred up/fall off when I go to spin it?
You may be applying too much sizing glue, or not waiting long enough
we need lime line in south africa hook us up man
I am your big spoter
Thanks
I'm in the UK.. can't find any leaf
amazon has it
Man I'm using your gold leaf and I'm definitely not getting that crisp of a spin .. im doing my 1st ever paint job and I'm struggling getting enough clear to be able to sand smooth smooth smooth... so there's some minor divits .. but even with multiple layers of leafing it's not spinning that clear
Also when I sand it .. my parts look alot more foggy than yours do .. hard to see paint lines
I think I figured it out after about 20 burn throughs ... ☹️
Not foggy now though , so just have to do a ton of touch up .. and hope it wasn't to late in the process 🤞
The surface needs to be 100% smooth and clean before applying the glue and leaf.
You probably need to laying your candy down more
@@TimeWarpCustomPaint man my paint scheme looks incredible.. I just didn't realize how smooth it had to be from the very beginning.. like 1st cleat coat after base coat ..I was afraid on burning through .. just hope it doesn't cause delam .. ill fix the burns just hope it holds ..
I tried this and never had luck burnishing. Turned out nice but no burnish. Now I know Hobby Slobby s#it don't work. Thanks Im check out your stuff. Putting in wood stove today winter sucks here in St Joseph Mo. "The armpit of Mo"
LOL thanks
Your right not all leaf spins correctly
