    My uncles been building custom choppers up in Westchester county for 54 years now. I’ve been engaged in painting and ink brush art for most of my life and I really want to put the characters I created onto cars, custom decals, and of course custom choppers. I love my uncle but he’s never around to show me his craft so I’ve been figuring it out on my own and your videos have helped greatly, straight to the point, and very informative, I love your work.

    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

    can you explain why you did the first fogging of the stencil at about 8:30, but then basically completely covered it in light gray by about 8:45? Was it to get a basic skull shape on the tank? If so, wouldn't a reverse stencil of a skull have been better? Thank you so much for sharing all you do I may even try it myself someday on my bike👍👍

    Hey Adam, in order to get the shading in the area around the teeth and other dark areas, how close should you be to the work surface and also, is it better to spray without the tip on the end of the airbrush and just leave the needle exposed?

    • @TimeWarpCustomPaint
      @TimeWarpCustomPaint  Рік тому

      Yes, you would just leave the needle exposed. You would just need to be careful not to damage.

      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.

    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!

      The eraser makes dots. scratching with a razor blade for example makes more of a line. I prefer scratching the paint away when Im painting hair or fur. but an electric eraser does better and creating a texture look in my opinion.

And when the old man got pissed at me for spilling the paint pouring it from the gallon cans, I got a metal lattel and started dipping the paint out. That worked great and kept the rim clean so paint did not dry in the groove. I still use this method 50 years later. A small one works on the quart cans as well.
