Hey Createx thanks for the video your actually one the first to Explain in Detail tapping and what's gnna get painted and not, Very helpful video really Appreciate it, Keep up the good work..👍
Looks great I just subscribed to your channel, I'm gonna go through your videos and try some of this in my home shop..Thank you for explaining things so well for this first timer of graphics..👊👍
Thanks for some great instruction, Chris. You strike me as a natural teacher, and that makes it easier for us all to learn. On a side note, I enjoyed the video in part because I know your doppelganger! He's a relative named Primoz, who lives in Skofja Loka, Slovenia. It would be fun to see the two of you side by side. :) It was a bit weird watching the video, though, because you look so much like Primoz, but your English is so much better, and you have no accent. It was a bit of a brain twister for me. :)
Yes, classes were planned to begin earlier this year, but all that changed with COVID. As soon as possible (we're in CT which has travel restrictions), we'll schedule classes, hopefully sooner than later. Thank you for the inquiry.
Hello. Avoiding paint build-up on edges is a matter of technique; be mindful of your application and avoid over-application of material along the panel edges. Thank you.
@@CreatexColors I've pulled too hard before, the tape would spring back and fail to adhere. The tape stretch also made the width narrower in the middle.
Please review our application guide and technical data sheets available at www.creatextech.com. We always recommend painting at 70 deg.F (60 deg.F minimum). Thank you.
question on pre-paint wax and grease remover on multi-layer like this... at 22:17 (about) you said you recommend a solvent-based product, because a water-based product will soften the base coat.. what do you recommend if you are working on a product that cannot tolerate solvent-based products (my case specifically, working on a motorcycle helmet)...
A motorcycle helmet can accept standard solvent-based degreasers without affecting the helmet's surface or structural integrity. Try cleaning with a degreaser such as PPG SX320. Than you.
@@CreatexColors thank you! i had been told to not ever use any solvent based product when i was painting helmets, and its made product choice difficult, i appreciate your reply and information!
FBS tape was used in this video. FBS has a wide range of tapes for the graphic process including 1/16” & 1/8” tapes which contours well with bends when, for example, taping out a flame design. 3M also makes good tapes which are equally used at Createx for our paint projects. Thank you.

yeah Im sure you could do it that way, matter of fact I was a bit surprised he didn't do it like that, seemed like kind of a waste of tape in my opinion, but to each their own.
We recommend dry sanding; wet sanding a water-based clear such as UVLS soon after it has dried hard enough to sand is not good for the clear, just as using the reducer of a 2k clear to wet-sand it soon after applying it. Dry sanding is much better as the dried clear is still curing, and water reverts that process. If dry enough, "damp" sanding can be done in that water is used a lubricant while sanding, yet not allowing the water to pool & sit on the clear. For more, please refer to our Hard-Surface Application guide, and UVLS Tech Sheet, available at www.creatextech.com. Thank you.
Sometimes, here the process of use of inter-cot is set forth in the video. Often an inter-coat is not technically necessary but is still done as a matter of technique. Thank you.
candy2o Black can always be used as a tint to colors to create a darker tone. Remember, once candy2o is added to the mix, bleeding is a potential so a coat of 4040 Bleed Checker may be required before top-coating with more color, createxcolors.com/additives-thinners-cleaners-more/additives/4040.html. Thank you.
candy2o are dyes, not pigments, to which leaching into top-coated colors can be an issue. For more information, please refer to the candy2o and 4040 Bleed Checker tech data sheets available at www.creatextech.com. Thank you.
You’re absolutely exact, and have very high standards, and that’s what sets you apart as a craftsman from those who aren’t as dedicated to perfection.
thank you
Awesome project and a great video. It’s nice to have a longer video and a project featured like this. Thanks for posting.
Great “basketweave” effect.Real fire is super but I am a sucker for classic flames.Been doing them for over 40 years,good to see someone do them.
The shop I used to work in would've fired me for using so much tape. Good ideas here. You did a great job explaining the steps.
Thanks for the video - I appreciate the effort you all put in to make these.
Thank you for watching!
Another great video! Truly appreciate y’all putting in the time and doing these vidZ!!!

Everyone has one somewhere supposedly. 7 billion people, I’m not surprised
Do you guys ever plan on some classes on the east coast ? If you do I would be interested in attending!
Yes, classes were planned to begin earlier this year, but all that changed with COVID. As soon as possible (we're in CT which has travel restrictions), we'll schedule classes, hopefully sooner than later. Thank you for the inquiry.
That looks great, appreciate the detailed advice!
How do I hire you to spray my 65?
Thanks for watching. Createx is a manufacturer of paints doesn't service commercial paintwork, but we sincerely appreciated the inquiry.
Hey Chris. Another great instructional video.
How do you deal with paint/clear build up on the piano hinges?
Hello. Avoiding paint build-up on edges is a matter of technique; be mindful of your application and avoid over-application of material along the panel edges. Thank you.
Superb. Best
thank you!
Awesome. Subscribed
thank you!
Thanks, dude
Welcome, brah.
5:22 do you pull and stretch the tape at all or just enough to stay straight?
I would've loved more technique tips in the video
To keep line width consistent, only pull tape enough to straighten it, not to stretch it. Thank you.
@@CreatexColors I've pulled too hard before, the tape would spring back and fail to adhere. The tape stretch also made the width narrower in the middle.
As winter sets in around the country, do you have any temperature recommendations when spraying these paints. Especially the candies.
Please review our application guide and technical data sheets available at www.creatextech.com. We always recommend painting at 70 deg.F (60 deg.F minimum). Thank you.
Impressive work, how many hours would you say this took start to finish?
About 6 hours total, prep to finish. Thank you.

What kind of tape are you using the skinny one? I trying to custom paint Hot Wheels and wondering which tape is best thanks. Great video 🤙🏽

We'll find line tape do you use and what is the brand of the yellow tape

At 20:30 To save tape could you lift the middle tape and place it next in line, place your next tape then lift the used tape again and repeat?
There's a variety of methods for taping graphics. Thank you.
yeah Im sure you could do it that way, matter of fact I was a bit surprised he didn't do it like that, seemed like kind of a waste of tape in my opinion, but to each their own.
Great info. Where do you get that auto-mask?
Auto mask is available at most auto refinish suppliers. This particular brand is FBS tape. Thank you.
Niceee... Learn new things 👍👍
BTW did anyone notice that his face almost like Paul walker..
thanks, and yes, Chris gets a lot of Paul Walker references, which is kinda true.
Hey Chris what’s your go to thin striping tape.
3M 218 or FBS Lebleu. Thank you.
Nice, why no wet sanding at the clear stage.
We recommend dry sanding; wet sanding a water-based clear such as UVLS soon after it has dried hard enough to sand is not good for the clear, just as using the reducer of a 2k clear to wet-sand it soon after applying it.

@@CreatexColors yes I have smeared the still curing colour on so many jobs over the years. Clearing the sanded debris asap is my focus these days
Do you spray midcoat clear before taping?
Sometimes, here the process of use of inter-cot is set forth in the video. Often an inter-coat is not technically necessary but is still done as a matter of technique. Thank you.
@@CreatexColors regardless, great video! Slowly getting back into painting and finding some info on the rust I need to brush off🤣🤣👍🏻
honestly that smile should be illegal. you don't hear "no" very often do you? lol
subtitled in Spanish please..genial videos i from argentine
Murder candy would have been awesome.
Sweet job butty.😀
thanks
Yo if he had paul walkers hair he would look just like him
Dude this perfect what happen if I add candy black over this to make it darker?
candy2o Black can always be used as a tint to colors to create a darker tone.

would this work on plywood?
Yes, AutoBorne Sealer, www.autoborne.com, and 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear, www.uvlsclears.com, both are excellent direct to wood primers. Thank you.
