Yes for this project I did all the work with rattle cans and my Paache VL and AutoAir/Wicked colors. I also have small and large HVLP guns but didn't want to use them because of the space I was working in.
Hi Paul . dis you "prime" the board ? Or did you just start painting over the "base" color of the board ? Clear coat ? What type ? Thanks, and good job !
Good question. For this board, I had to do a surface repair with fiberglass and fiberglass resin, so I did use a primer over that part. Just an one stage rattle can primer from an automotive paint shop. THEN I used AutoAir's basecoat/sealer in white. That is the uniform white color and I did that before I videoed Part 1. THEN I painted the image with AutoAir paint which is what you see in this video. In Part 3, I use a one stage rattle can clear coat also from an Auto body paint shop. If it were warmer and this were a major $ project, I would have used a 2 stage urethane clearcoat with my HVLP airgun. I always get supplies from an autobody paint shop, and not a hardware store.
Did you do all of your base coat work with that airbrush?

That makes sense. It seems like it would take a lot of patience to get an even finish on something this big with an airbrush. Good work.
