The best part of custom painting is experimenting with pearls , flakes , and candy powders. You can also mix regular pearl , or ice pearls into a solid color base and give it a pearl effect. I did it with a jet black base , and it came out a silky looking black with a whole lot of pop in the sunlight.
Yea man this shit is actually fun, I did custom work in the past but it was all calculated and measured and had to be done right for an entire vehicle that a customer is paying for. But to actually play around with different combinations and no there's no real consequences if you screw it up actually makes it even more fun. I'm just hoping I don't find a color that I really like cuz then it's going to make me want to paint my car over again 😁🤷🏽♂️
Yeah I run into that all the time. A customer would come by for a quote on a complete paint job, and see one of my experimental panels, and then want that color. The problem is I didn’t right down the recipe for it 😂😂 I had to start doing that because it happens all the time now. Another fun thing about it is that you get to name the color whatever you want to name it because it’s your creation.
@@KILLER_BEE_98 lmao 🤣🤣 you're right. I got one dropping next week I named the incredible hulk 😁 Man I can tell you have plenty of experience with this stuff. This is going to be fun. Even my boss asked me what's up with the crazy color fenders over there 😜
Very nice Trigger, I really like the one over the black base as the colours pop nice but over the white base it's not very nice as it looks blotchy on the face but the flop isn't quite so bad, enjoying the channel brother🤓👍John UK
Fun stuff! Wish I had more time to do custom colors. Did a couple chameleon paint jobs last year. Did a motorcycle tank and fairing kit this year.Red Ghost pearls over white base for a customer. Came out pretty cool
@@PaintsByTrigger I haven’t seen to maybe colors like that get sprayed. Only guy I see on UA-cam doing it is true grit customs. Paints in what looked like a shed but he lays it down. Looks crazy in the end.
I'm with you on the new channel brother!! This is the stuff I'm getting into soon I have people asking for full paints with custom pearl and such! Thanks brother
YESSSIRRR!!! I'm really digging the second channel. I also love the video effects 😂. I can't wait for your next videos. Question: could you add in your future videos the process of getting the vehicle done, such as before yall start working on it, the scratches and dents, the process of working on it, the headaches that yall go through, a little bit of silliness (to show that it's not all work and no play), a little bit of masking, paint prep before you start spraying? You did that once on the other channel, but it was very brief. It doesn't have to be long, just showing us the process from start to finish, but the back story doesn't have to be long (unless you don't care). The longer, the better (that's what she said 😂). Also, at the end of the video, treat us (and yourself) with a workout session. You played with the idea once, but that was a while back. Just some thoughts and ideas on what I would like to see in future videos.
But actually is my plan for this channel. But you got to keep in mind I'm in the spray booth all day while the prepper is sanding priming and masking so I would actually have to leave a car sitting in the booth to go out and film her working while I'm painting, same thing for the body man He's out there doing body work while I'm in the spray booth painting so I would have to leave a car that needs to be painted while I'm filming them work so it's a little bit difficult for me but I do plan to add more of that into this channel it may not be the full extent of the repair but I definitely plan to add more than what's on my other channel Thank you for the suggestion and I'll try to throw a quick workout in as well. That was a real good suggestion 😂😎💪🏼
Great to see you doing different experiment and colors in this channel. Hope to see more experiment stuffs coming up. No worries about failure man.. hehe
Thank you Tony yes I got about 60 different colors on hand to play with, so it should definitely be interesting 💭🤔 I just didn't want to bring this to my main channel where guys are actually learning the basics put over here I don't really care what happens and there are no losses only learning experiences for me. 💪🏼
Not a fan of how the white panel turned out, I'm not really a fan of the chameleon jobs but if I was to choose I would definitely got with the black base, that deap purple looks crazy
done TONS of this......Back in the 80s. We used lacquer back then....But with basecoats we use intercoat clear to put the pearl or flake on there. Then build it with more intercoat clear without the flake Then sand it smooth. Then put the urethane clear over that. Also shoot color (candy) over that. it will look totally different. you can use silver flake to make any color. by shooting color over it.
Hi trigger. Another great video for the new channel. Reminds me of a white mother of pearl colour I had to do on an old Audi. It was murder and looked like a dirty white. Spray on brother 🤜🤛
Yea man, the white looks like that ugly ass 800J from back in the day. It was on all the Cadillacs and Buicks, GM color The worst pearl in white pearl history 😭
I remember when Master P had that 96 SS Impala that was chameleon and had all white interior! 🔥 Is it true that it can never be matched again if there needs to be a repair? I heard that years ago when ehbody was doing chameleon paint. Never knew it was in the clear
Don't know, but we about to find out 😂 in putting that on the list. And you're at the top of the list. Have 2 videos already in que so it should be the third to air I got you 💪🏼
Getting one car prepped to spray an emerald pearl over black. Sprayed a silver pearl over Shadow grey last week, it made it too light. Doh! Wet sanded, waiting for black pearl to show up to darking it up.
@@PaintsByTrigger 800j was all over the place I’ve seen pink and blue. Have you tried the didspade pearls? I think that’s what true gritt uses. Those are the most intense pearls I’ve come across.
It's good money in doing custom painting with the pearls & color shifts.. the "Car Culture" im gonna call it, spend THOUSANDS on paint jobs! Like $5K plus!
Some of the shift colors that I have seen have me wondering what it would look like with a silver base sense the white seams the bleach the color out instead of making it brighter
@@PaintsByTrigger i have seen a blue pearl over silver and it made it brighter I used the boosted blue pearl from Eastwood and with a three coat cover it came out close to the same color as the blue on Paul Walker(rip) skyline from 2fast so I was wondering if it would have that same effect with a shift I'm a fan of the blue either the blue green or the purple blue
Hey what up man, I tried to find you on the other channel. But yea now you see looks like 💩and the flakes you wanted to do would look even worse. So I'm open to all requests here increase there was a color scheme you wanted to see. Let me know 🤜🏼🤛🏼
I did that in 2002 had a shop painting all of those old rust buckets candy fades , and let me tell you.. I don't miss it 🤣🤣 I sleep great at night. I'm home by 4:15 every day. Hellz to the knawl knawl 😭
Hmmm....what do we have H..E..R..E? Not gonna lie Trigger, I'm feeling a little...dare I say it....betrayed. Another channel? You been running around behind our backs and cheating on us loyal followers? Trigger, my man, what do you have to say for yourself? Hmmm? 😜😜
Man I told you guys fist. You haven't been keeping up or watching that's why you're late to the party 😏 you've been to busy watching all of those big channels and forgot about me 🥺
@@PaintsByTrigger Hmmm....did I miss one? Must have, cause I don't remember any mention of a new channel. Which video was it? I subscribed to the new one none the less. Had to, now that it's taking off and becoming TriggerCo Inc. 😜😜😁😁

I missed the laquer era but I did shoot lots of House of Kolors candy over metal flake in the late 90's talk about some beautiful stuff 😍🥳
Threw a damn ball in that clear😂😂😂
😂 all you need is a straw 👃🏼 🙈
Definitely looks better over the black than the white.
Yea man, over white look like 💩💩💩
@@PaintsByTrigger that white look terrible that’s why them flakes do better on darker colors.

😂 yeah man some of those pigment pearls over white are a no go . Thanks for stopping by Scot 💪🏼😎
Doing those powder pearl kameleons are easier with a base coat binder.. in the clear makes it a little harder.
Yes I know, but I don't have that kind of time to play around 🤣 just something quick and fun. 🤷🏽♂️
Second channel 🔥 im rocking with it
4sho 🤜🏼🤛🏼 bet that up
That black base fender looks sick.. The Toyota or Hyundai white pearl, were the worst colors I ever dealt with.
Yea man, the white looks like that ugly ass 800J from back in the day. It was on all the Cadillacs and Buicks, GM color The worst pearl in white pearl history 😭
deff made to go over darker colors , I'm about to drop some vids on didspade supershift flakes
I have some of their flakes. I'm gonna check out your channel too 🤜🏼🤛🏼👊🏼
Pearl Always looks better over black base
I see lol
Color Wise, black base 👍 as far as da job itself. . cmon now, dat ish ALWAYS on point. #SHOTBYTRIGGER 💪💪 Salute Trigger ✊ 🥃
Facts ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ thanks BMF 💪🏼
💰💰💰💰
🥳
The white base look like a the Cadillac Mary-Kate
Lol code 800J 💩💩
Is that a FLG5 gun u working?? What’s your personal experience with it like??
Iwata lph400 I've never used that gun
800j
You got that right 😭😭
I remember when Master P had that 96 SS Impala that was chameleon and had all white interior! 🔥
Is it true that it can never be matched again if there needs to be a repair? I heard that years ago when ehbody was doing chameleon paint. Never knew it was in the clear
Man them were the days, candy/ chameleon and all white guts 90's 4sho
The once I've done in the past you would just paint the entire side, the pigment will do the work, so I've never seen one mis match
@@PaintsByTrigger chameleon paint white interior.........and spinners! 😄
Wat happenz if u add pearl powder to a solid ss black..will the pearl still show..always wondered that..
Don't know, but we about to find out 😂 in putting that on the list. And you're at the top of the list. Have 2 videos already in que so it should be the third to air I got you 💪🏼

Emerald green over black sounds nice. You putting up vids on it?
@@PaintsByTrigger I don't know how to edit and all that. I turned on a camera spraying the Silver pearl, haven't even looked at it yet. Ha ha
@@PaintsByTrigger Tagged you in a short after squirted a sand-able amount of clear on... Dirt floor shed 4/20 project.
white fender reminds me of the Cadillac you did a while back that is impossible to color match
Yep that's the Fkn color 😤😤😤 man I hate that 800J I think that color has given me the most trouble in my whole career 😭
Them Mary Kay cars... Lol
For real 🤣
6:15 I remember a Lincoln that looked like the white one but I remember a GM code before WA800J. It was a Cadillac color right?
The 800J is the GM color I was talking about. Not sure what the Lincoln code was. But I hated that shit man

I'm cool doing the painting. It's the restoration I can't deal with. Headaches there.
@PaintsByTrigger I can only imagine! For now, I'm just a hobbyist at painting, but I'm learning. I plan to do it on the side some day.
Where did you get your pigment from bro?
Amazon, just type in the yesogreat chameleon and it pops up
@PaintsByTrigger ok, thanks bro!
Nice. The white base looks alot like that pain in the ass gm color lol.
Yep that's it 800j 😭
You need to use Iridescent colour shirt over white.
Will look into that. Thank you
Some of the shift colors that I have seen have me wondering what it would look like with a silver base sense the white seams the bleach the color out instead of making it brighter
So do I hear a request for color shift over silver base request? 🤔 Because now I'm curious about that.
