Looks good. I've been spraying and doing metal flake for 40yrs. New flakes are definitely more forgiving than the old ones lol. My technique is, my 1st coat of clear is without flake, then my next several coats of clear is with flake. I finish with 5 coats of straight clear to bury the flakes. After 24hrs or so I sand it with 1,200 grit, then shoot another 5 or 6 coats of straight clear. Then wet sand and buff it out. Did alot of '49 Mercs back in the lacquer era, 600 grit to wet sand the clear. Young bucks today are like WOW 600! Lol. 600 was the finest back then, lacquer compared to paints now are night and day too lol. Anyways I thought I'd share from one painter to another 😎 I'd love to have seen the car outside.
@@harrybottmtb8947 Depends on how many coats of clear you want and what your mixing ratio is. So if your ratio is 4:1 clear/activator and if you're using a hvlp gun, a gallon of clear would do it, giving you 5 coats of clear. I use a SATA and it does really good on saving material. When I shoot metal flake I use my Binks model 7 and then the SATA with clear, no flake. Question, what color are looking at painting and metal flake or no? Because that would change my suggestion on a gallon of clear lol
@@harrybottmtb8947 Another question is if you're doing the door jams and under the hood. I know at the car manufacturer I work at, on an average size vehicle, like a sedan or SUV, we use 3 quarts of clear, 1 to 2 coats on the jams and 4 coats overall. You can cut back on material if you use a wet look. It'll give the illusion of tons of coats, but in reality not that many coats. The clear we use it slightly thicker than the average. So a coat is basically a coat and a half due to the thickness. Back with your spray gun, depends on how open your volume setting is. Straight clear, (no flake), I set my around half open. Then I adjust according to how it's laying down etc.. I hope this gives you some idea.
Gnarly sparkle dawg looks good, I’m a body tech, if you tear down the handles mirror and body moldings etc. you have more coverage on detailed areas and less chance of peeling paint
You have to bury that in clear coat after it's done to get that orange peel out of it and then wet sand it and then buff it till it shines maybe four more coats of clear brother
I shot a few metal flake job's. Primer. Base coat. Clear and flake mix. Clear coat 2 time's. Wet sand cut and buff. Still looks good. Where are you located at homie
@@Popcorx After the base coat is laid down, Yes I mix the Metal flake with the clear coat and spray it. Next clear coat it. You'll need to repeat the clear coat a couple of times to get the Metal flake buried and orange peel out. Be sure to cut and buff.
Nice job, and you did it without spending a ton of money, just shows good prep, patience with the application of the flake in clear pays off, Congratulations
Brother, I have to say I have been afraid of metal flake all my painting life. You totally owned that car and it came out extraordinary. To have completely fixable orange peel is nothing compared to other jobs that I have seen drips, runs, lines and uneven coating where these boneheads call themselves professionals. That really was a great job. I am ONLY adding this part and please understand that I am NOT a pro but this is what I have been told so many times. If it orange peels and the jobs is not up to your standard, 2,000 grit and level out that job, then add 2 coats of clear and see your results. This all comes as respectful advise but to see what you finished with, OUTSTANDING!!!
Pro-tip: get my time in with your gun your coverage is garbage. Your flashes aren't even, if you put a scale to that afterwards you'll see what I mean. Just keep on practicing you'll look back an say WOW!💪
@@jadadsr.8351 hey bro....give him props...let him do him...im sure if he was a pro he would be in a paintbooth...the result was not bad for painting in a way crowded garage....im sure he will get better at all of it...we all dint start like pros
Advice plz. When you end a pass do you let the gun trigger go then redo press it before you come the other way? Or do like him and just hold it down constantly stating the whole time?
How was your experience painting your car inside the garage? Was there a lot of contamination? I’m contemplating doing my paint job myself. I actually want to do a light/medium coverage flake and a pearl topcoat so it’s more like colorshift/chromaflair but in the colors I choose
I still have my Binks #7 with .086. Metalflake tip, paid. $160.00 😃😃 brand new. The metalflake that is out now is a lot better than what we had, more sparkle and better color, NICE Job. Thanks
Orange peel is never “normal” or acceptable on any paint job final product I don’t care what size flake someone uses. If there’s orange peel, the job isn’t done. Just one person’s honest opinion
What are you talking about? There's orange peel on every car that gets painted, you can try to get it as flat as possible but the only way to have no orange peel is cutting and buffing.
@@ArmaniTheGreat Right, and read what I wrote “If there is orange peel, the job isn’t done”. I’m not knocking the painter. He just presented it as if the job was complete.
I did the same paint job on my car and wondered how it would look on a grey base. I should have tested it before hand since the car looks black when its not in the sun.
Yo fili mad respects bro🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 but just a pointer I’m a painter after laying the flake lay out clear on its own without the flake it’ll come out clean and as far as the over spray put the box fans on front of you garage with the filters and block it with some plywood in between
No matter what size of flake you spray always shoot atleast 2 coats of just clear or even 3 so you don’t feel em and off course a wet sand will take all the orange peal off & the size don’t really do anything about the orange peel every paint job has orange peel till you cut and buff
Watch a few low rider painters and the techniques they use to get that smooth glass and high shine paint job. You can really learn a lot these days with all the free internet resources.
Podrías explicar cuál diferencia o xq es mejor entre jet black y cualquier otra pintura negra azabache? O si es q jet black es otro negro nada más del mercado o existe alguna garantía o mejora al usar jet black ?? Y no mencionaste q tipo de boquilla usaste específicamente para el metal 1.4 o 1.8 o cuál ??? Saludos ..
It looks absolutely amazing. If I could make one request. Take the car out of the shop and and present it in the parking lot so we can all admire it. This way we can all "OOOhhh" and "AAAhhh" at the fine work you have done. Peace.
I like it it looks good but I prefer small flakes but that's my preference but other wise the car looks great good job and I like the fact you did it at home.
did you use 1k primer and 1k paint as well? why? i thought that 2k paints and so are more durable and have nicer finish. also , would the final color be different if you used red base paint instead of jet black?
Awe man. I watch a few other guys that also do bodywork and paint. But this outcome was especially nice. Love the red flakes on black. The black fades in as you are walking around then as you look at it the red pops out. Nice effects. SprayWayCustoms and custom z warriors is my main attention for bodywork and phenomenal paint. Yours came out especially cool man. NICE!!
@@FiliManriquez. I kinda noticed that. You did this in Your own garage but the end result was awesome. Using the gun ? Keep it flowing but , stay with sections, a door, a hood, quarter panel, keeps you more focused and even. You did great. The result was cool.
For flakes i had to do it all the way because in sections i woulda had more flakes on one panel then the other.. this was my second car the first one i messed it up by doin panel by panel lol
@@FiliManriquez ya. I just watched some of the ending. Ok. I get ya. With The coverage you wanted it to have that bleed through from the black. I see what you did. Never mind I’m just a observer. Lol. Be cool man. You and yours be safe. !!
I love the big flakes in paint my uncle Roy had a GT Bradley kit car buggy with the gull wing doors that had a full metallic silver sparkle look to it ....reminded me of glitter disco ball type shit it killed the street at that time this was in the late 80z
Se puede mejorar aplicando otras dos capas de clear al siguiente dia despues de lijar con grado 800. Buen trabajo y el dueño del carro contento.. eso es todo!!!
Si...pero tambien si se lija el carro todo el flake k no se cubrio se va a convertir silver...so mejor poner le la makina asi y despacio...o lijarse con intension de ponerle un kandibrandywine en la siguiente pasada
I bet you could feel all those flakes? You didn’t sand down and put more clear layers. I don’t know crap about paint jobs but i think that’s what you were supposed to do so you don’t have orange peel. Sick paint job!
Do you have a supplies list of this? Like what did you use for this and how much did you need to cover the whole car? Im gonna paint my 8th gen civic si 4dr soon and this is the exact look i want. You did an amazing job. How much primer what kinda of base coat how much kandy red paint etc?
I paint in my garage, but small motorcycle parts, I tried a car and yours looks way better than my end result. But I'm a shitty painter and admit it. Keep going looking great for a a garage job bro.
Man that's alot of orange peel but that's probably because the big flakes used. Did you build up more clear w/o flakes so you can color sand w/o damaging the flakes?
That is a really cool effect--there's a similar video of a technique called "murdered candy" using Createx products but the flakes and pearl they used are much smaller than the flakes you used. I like both effects but definitely prefer the way yours looks. I'm gonna have to try your way but using purple flake. Thanks for posting!
Supposed to bury the flake in clear then cut. Looks like the flake is sticking up pretty bad. Definitely a lot of cutting and prep before you can even buff
We have a camero called the Moody Blue which is Blue fading into purple can this paint style be done using Blue and purple with the same medal flake you're using on your sedan? Your sedan turned out so dope!
A career body and paint dudes tip- invest in a set of iwata spray guns and leave those cheap ass guns in the trash. Correct your technique and practice mimicking the pros. Learn to walk the cars. Watch the Gunman and of course Jon Kosmoski. You have the passion, now realize your potential, brother
I’m definitely getting my car sprayed this color. I love black but always see cars with silver or rainbow flakes( so boring). This right here tho is awesome
By all means I never want to come off as a hater. As someone that paints in a body shop, I’d say if you’re just wanting to learn to do it at home, go ahead. But if you really want to do it right, there is a lot more info out there, this would not be the methods I’d tell anyone to follow. That’s all I’m going to say.
I'm no pro whatsoever, just a bit of an enthusiast as a disclaimer. The job came out well imo, it looks pretty good from the video - but I'd personally mix the flake with some intercoat/binder, bury the flake in 4/5 coats of clear, sand and flow coat - that way its more forgiving when you're clearing the car, cos if you get a run in the clear mixed with paint, you're sanding the entire panel down again!
2 years later im going to prep the car again and repaint it! Cant wait to show you guys stay tuned🫡
What gun for flakes and clear

My first lacquer flake job was in 1962.
How much clear coat do you use? I’ve got a single cab truck that I’m painting and not sure how much I’ll need, not painting the tub/tray

You need to wet sand the orange peeled base coat before applying clear, or you're just clear coating orange peel.

I liked. Bitchen affect. Fogging was flawless. I'd love to see that in the sun.
I painted my wheels the same color scheme and my x5 is red flake over red. Took 8 coats of clear sanding and another 3 coats of clear
Great job. It's best to put flake into an intercoat (base clear) then bury the flake in clear coat.

I would have did the hood roof and trunk big flakes and left the arounds small flakes but its decent..good job
I didn't even Kno there was a difference. They got different size flakes? Cool
how many coats of basecoat did u use? i’m doing the same red flake on my s14
what gun did you use, what tip for the flake 1.8? you like flakes in clear better than in intercoat?
Awesome! Badass paint job!
