Using a 'wet bed' for blending metallic greys/silvers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- I can do most things quite well when it comes to my trade, but silvers aren't one of them. You'd of thought id cracked it after 20 years, but 17 of those were spraying lorries and buses ,lots of white and red paint!
Anyway if you have any suggestions or comments feel free to leave us a message, cheers

😂 meteors of trash I hate that shit.... Thanks for the video man
🤙
Is that really neccesary? 2 guns just for basecoat? I just add a blending additive to the colour no need for this wetbed method. Just adds extra time and messing about for no reason.
Nice video! Answered my question about having to use a clear wet bed for each layer of base. I am going to try this next week on a metallic silver Jaguar blend. Should be fun! I think the trick is to keep the pressures down in the 15 psi range to prevent too much dry material from forming at the edges of your spray pattern.
Hi mate, sorry for the late reply, haven't been getting notifications for some reason 🤔. I've used the 'wet bed' a few times since this, I've found that giving the whole blend panel a coat of the clear base then letting it dry, works just as well - as it seems to fill the sanding scratches before you lay a silver on. If that makes sense... 😅😅
@@WinginitPaintSprayers I think so! By laying down a clear coat and letting it flash it will give you a flatter surface for your metal flake to strand up uniformly in the new layer of wet clear. ??
@@kenbaustin4533 yeah I think that's what I mean 😄. Otherwise you use shit loafs of the clear for every coat, like on the bonnet in the video 🤦♂️
Just the video i needed. thanks man
Thanks mate, hopefully it helps someone 👍🤣
Oh wow 😱 nice equipment.. The video interesting..
Thankyou Genamie

Thankyou Yunira

Thankyou
Im doing a silver steel right now and its kicking my arse...
I've been doing a lot of silvers lately bud and although I'm still not the best at them, I've improved! 😅
I've noticed that I hadn't been putting the first couple of coats on heavy enough to actually get enough coverage, and drying times are essential 👌
I spent all day in my garage, experimenting with my air brush.,. I learned alot,. I did some sprayouts on different panels, and experimented with reducing the base.. also, I left a little bit of the basecoat in the bottom of the airbrush jar when I added the clearcoat,.. I reduced the clearcoat abt 15 percent... the results were VERY encouraging.. immediately after I sprayed the base, in light coats I dried it with a hair dryer on low, before the next coat.. I think doing this helps to keep the microflakes from migrating to the outside edges..which has been my main problem.., when the weather clears and rain stops. im going to go try it on the car.. if I can master this, and I think I will, I will be able to fix small gouges, and small deep scratches with very little paint and clear.. im going to try and keep the basecoat spray areas to abt the size of a mason jar lid.. getting the air pressure set up right on the air compressor is critical, as well as the airbrush adjustment.. wearing a headlamp so you can see the very fine spray pattern laying down helped alot.. also remembering that the the airbrush had a round spray pattern helps. I didnt do a side to side spray motion I started from the center and spiraled outward... @@WinginitPaintSprayers
@randy1ization you sound like you have more patience than me dude 😅. Are you doing it for a living?
no, im fixing a car I just bought,, Ive painted a few cars before, with good success.. I think my main issue going forward is matching the color.. the paint looks darker than what is on the car.. I have another pint coming from a different supplier.,, if it is also darker, I will assume its the correct color match, but my paint is a little faded... I may order a 1/2 pint of straight silver mettalic base , and try to lighten the paint I have a bit... its close, but not close enough.,,, Im going to make it work one way or another.,, I dont give up too easy.. @@WinginitPaintSprayers
Looks like you didn't spray the clear basecoat over the repair. Will it cause a problem if you did?
Hi mate, nah it wouldn't hurt it at all, it's just basecoat with no colour pigment in it. I didn't know what I was doing is all 🤣
Good product
Hello Amat, is it the lacquer or basecoat you're on about?
Beautiful ka
Beautiful 👌👌👌👌
Wow i like
Thankyou Arifin
@@WinginitPaintSprayers your welcome..😊
Woww
Thankyou Elfi
I've been attempting similar with reflex silver and old Toyota silver.
Which product are you using for the wetbed pal?
Ta
It's just a clear binder from a solvent scheme mate 👍🏻
Amazing job Luke, I know Brian gave you some advice on his FB group but I can't see anything wrong with that blend, never used a wet-bed or blended any colour and you wouldn't want me to as I'm colour blind 🙄 I'm a Henry painter, you can have any colour providing it's black! 🤯 great video mate love the effects and humour plus it's very informative 👍 John
Cheers mate appreciate it, I can see what hes saying, normally though if I paint a bonnet I'll get a cloudy patch in the middle no matter what I do!! So thought I'd keep the colour small, dont know unless you have a go!
Came out good, thats all that matters at the end of the day,love that skoda,haven't seen one in years did you find the engine cover lever ok😀
Hopefully you'll enjoy the skoda vid when its done next week Mandy. They're definitely a peculiar little vehicle 🤣
Hello! Thanks for very good Video. Why do you apply Clear Basecoat, before applying Basecoat? Thanks! From Tommy Bertilsson from Sweden
Hi mate, thankyou for watching! It was a technique that I saw someone else using and gave it a go a few times. The idea is that the metallic has got something to blend into, instead of just sitting on top of the prepped panel...if that makes sense
Great work....what clear base are you using....It seems to be an unknown here in the UK :) I got some off eBay but it was slim pickings
Cheers Nick, it was from my local supplier here in Kent. As far as I'm aware its Nexa.. maybe. Give my supplier a bell mate, they deliver anywhere. 'Kent Refinishing Supplies', they're in Ashford
@@WinginitPaintSprayers Cheers dude...I am only a garage warrior (in Surrey)...got some more paint to do on my Boxster over the winter and dont want to paint the whole boot lid. Is it actually called clear base here in the UK?
Same thing here im in Scotland and anyone I ask about this has never heard of it even though I rattle off a few other names its known as!.
can be followed, this way
🤟🤟
