In this video I break down the process on how I airbrush a realistic looking skull and layout classic style flames in granite texture on a Harley Davidson gas tank. I'll show you ways of creating a paper stencil to register your image that will help guide you through the layering process. Painting an underlayer (underpainting), clear coating then further refining your painting erasing back highlights with a fiberglass pen or eraser making fine detail and texture easy.
Trade secrets like these have been around for many years and still used today on lowriders, Harley Davidson motorcycles, hotrods, choppers, cafe racer and many other custom painted objects. for example skateboards, vintage signs, metal flake and panel graphics. If your new to custom paint and airbrushing or looking to expand into custom paint from Collision repair subscribe to my channel I post new content every week to help take you skills to the next level.

[@pb6972]

You make look so easy. You must have a lot of patience

[@garysheridan2787]

Absolutely stunning and humble; thanks for sharing, I've been painting automotive stuff since 1987, taped miles of flames, and I sincerely thank you for the schooling here with the skull's.... can't wait to try and do it this way, I always thought that dudes were just exceptionally talented artist and free handed them with the airbrush....Thank you thank you

[@philwachocki7958]

It's nice to see some technics are still used tday. Imagination can create other worlds

[@adamjohnson1502]

Wow ,man. That’s the most realistic,POPing, 3D LQQKing ,coolest skull I’ve seen on a tank… I’m 47 ,used to be an artist back in the day and am now going to paint my street glide. There’s SO much into it,air compressor set up, spray guns ,material , technique,it’s overwhelming but… it’s my bike,I’ll paint it until I’m happy w it. Haha. Thanks for the tutorials. I’ve liked and subscribed and will definitely be watching a lot more. Thanks again man

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Thank you !! I will keep this train chugging 🙏

[@terrykonrad1243]

Another awesome and informative video. You make it look easy which we all know it ain’t. Keep pumping out the kick ass videos and we’ll all keep enjoying the ride. Cheers Bro.

[@BigPlaneFixer]

Thanks for all the straightforward info. I wish I had that level of creativity. Guess I just gotta start practicing!!!

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

You welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@fullyloadedkustoms]

Awesome work that tank turned out phenomenal!! I can't wait to pickup the airbrush and paint something again

[@roadshowautosports]

Great job! I prefer the razor blades myself as well. The exacto blades only in special circumstances.
Good taste in picking up the images to use and the music background!!

[@bennyholguin7032]

Right On Adam! First time on your page and I LOVED how the finished product came out! Outstanding!

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Thanks I appreciate the support

[@jakemartin4305]

Would love to see a full build/ paint job time lapse or not love your work 👏💯

[@SPIKE4571]

I can see why a custom paint job is so expensive. His artistic skills are priceless.

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

thanks

[@Tyler.O]

I'm sure prices go up as well the more renown an artist (and his work) becomes over time...at least I'd assume so like most art. Anyways, how much does stuff like this usually cost on average??

[@gamwthpoytanamou]

Thank you for all the informations and the tips on this video. Your final result is excellent!!!! Im a painter to, and the Last few months i've been practising on my New airbrush, keep up the good job!!!!!!!

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Awesome

[@roadshowautosports]

I miss painting with basecoat urethane! Nowadays my setup won’t allow me to and I’m stuck with water based paint. It works but lacks the flow of the urethane. They came a long way with it and, for spray gun, it’s fine, it’s when it comes to the airbrush that it gets hairy. It gotta be so thinned down that it’s different to say the least. I used to have my own shop as you do but now i don’t. I’m going to start posting some stuff I’ve done and share with you guys to. I have some of my old stuff but trying to keep up with the present ones so I document it.
Thanks again!
Peace

[@WR-yo8ir]

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Welcome aboard!

[@pliopov]

Hi from France ! Need to tell you that you are really amazing !! Lots of people don't want to share and explain job because don't want their "jobs" stolen. And here you are trying to bringing people to try that by themselves. I don't know if i will ever try out but I thank you so much for that. Bless you

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Thank you so much!!

[@billnelson392]

Im pushing 70 and 50 some years ago i was doing flames with lacquer and it was a royal pain in the ass....i would very much like to get back into painting because i want to give up trucking...these urethanes and related products are freaking light years ahead of what we doing in the 70s....but that is progress i guess..great video by the way

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Thanks I appreciate you watching! Good luck

[@someonesomewheresomdeday]

I'm currently saving up for a full respray of my 2015 ultra limited. watching your videos is a lot of fun and really inspiring to maybe do something more than just a monochromatic paint job even if it means waiting another season to paint.

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

That is awesome!

[@someonesomewheresomdeday]

@@TimeWarpCustomPaint you're killing it man. seriously. I hope I can do something on your level

Awesome 👊🤘

[@anthonywheeler133]

OMG, you are a TRUE artist. How long have you been doing this to perfect your craft? And what would you charge to do something like that?

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

12 years. about $2k for tank and fenders

[@anthonywheeler133]

SWEET. Guess I need to start saving

[@codymcelveen9676]

Man your videos are the best. I have learned alot in the last 2 months. 12 years sounds about right. The way you lay that tape out is insane. Ive attempted it and its no joke. Had some fenders sand blasted down on my 1st attempt. Started over. 2nd time was a little easier. I went to octc for collision repair. I have a sprayed a few cars but i never learned anything like this. Its been 8 years since i picked up spray gun. Thanks for awakening an old passion and thanks for taking the time to actually break everything down on how you do all this.

[@ScottyLo]

Thanks for sharing your videos.

[@lucahd7385]

wonderful ..! 👍

[@francescotufoairbrushstudi2085]

Vero very good bro.

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Thanks

[@williamtauriello1581]

Beautiful work!
What type of airbrush do you use, and can you recommend a small, quiet compressor that works off of 110v? Thanks!

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

sure, I use a Iwata eclipse. Iwata has the best airbrush compressors also. you can buy them here.www.amazon.com/shop/timewarpcustompaint?listId=KF38T3UTH70K&ref=cm_sw_em_r_inf_list_own_timewarpcustompaint_dp_OX5gZx4CsuARY

Paint my bike🇺🇸

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Thanks for watching

[@daniels1810]

top job👌

[@sandymacpherson9400]

This left my head spinning, but the finished product was worth the mental anguish.

[@spokart7221]

A perforated pattern and chalk pounce bag would have made both sides match. Could have put lil’ tiny stenciled or freehand skulls inside the flames. HAND-LETTERING the Harley letters with a drop shade been nice also!

[@nicksundby]

Harley?

[@CharlesNolanArt]

It drives me crazy when you use razor blades to cut, do you not like Xacto knives? I keep Xacto and sharpening stones at all times. However, you can't argue with your results! I am constantly amazed, Adam.

[@scottwilliamsakacowboy4691]

That's amazing. What size airbrush needle did you use to do this thanks.

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

I think it was .35 if I’m not mistaken
