I know this vid is 4yrs old but the clear coat trick is just what I needed , thanks a ton!
This particular video may be a few years old, but I've been using this trick for thirty years, and it's been around for far longer than I've been involved in this profession. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! I'm glad you found the content helpful, and I apologize for my late reply.
@@wickedartstudioloving the fact that you took the time to reply.
great advice as usual. For a two tone job , and for those who are cost conscious or had left over base color, you can also spray that base color on the masked area so if there is paint creep it is automatic match and seals that edge for the second color to be sprayed.
Great tip! Thanks Adam!
Great video. For scale modeling One yes use vinyl tape, and spray a clear coat before the finish color because it will fill any lifts or areas where the tape isn't 100% flat.
Thank you for the compliment and for sharing your tip pertaining to scale models!
I didn't know to clear coat over the taped lines to block any paint getting through that's awesome to know great stuff thx a million now I'm going back to watch all your vids.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
Once again great in depth, useable advice. The results really speak for themselves, the second panel looks much tighter. Really helpful advice regarding the order to spray the colours too. Thanks for posting Trevor.
Thanks Simon!
Hi Trev.
After i have put the vinyl line tape on i use a rubber walpaper joint roller to go over the tape. If you go over with a squigee it tends to crease or fold over the inside of a tight curve, the roller seems to push it down. Also a very good comment about gravity making thick hard lines on the tape. No problem if you can lay a panel flat, but as most of my work is bike race paint the thick edges are awsome for getting runs off especially round contours on fairings. The softer the edge the better.
As usual, great tutorial.
Guy
That's a great tip! I've never thought about using a rubber roller to burnish the tape down. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Guy!
No Worries mate. A lot of things i don't even think about until it's mentioned, like make sure the tape is warm as it turns better and won't lift so much on the edges. Espicially on the inside of a curve. Doing graphics like you did here i will quite often run a bit of 2000 grit over the tape to knock any edges off before i clearcoat .As you know if you have a thick edge, quite often when you pull the tape off the tape comes off under the paint leaving a horrible ragged edge. Been painting all sorts of strange things for 30 years so i do it and don't even give it a thought.
Hope it helps you and any of your subscribers.
Guy
I know what you mean. I constantly think of tips I should've added after uploading a video. I use a similar approach for reducing thick edges prior to clear coat except I use a dull razor blade to shave them down. The ragged edges can usually be knocked off with a finger nail.
Using the inter coat clear to sharpen the tape lines is a great tip!
And it works!
Excellent instructions! Is the vinyl tape the same kind of vinyl that is being used for electro insulation tape?
It is not the same. You want to use a vinyl tape specifically designed for automotive paint.
Your content is helpful. How if this problem has already occurre?
That requires a repair, or a pinstripe to cover up the mistake.
Great tips Trevor, thanks for your time.
Thank you!
Can you share what transfer tape and frisket you recommend? Thanks for helping. Really enjoy your work
I use TransferRite Ultra transfer tape with a medium tack. You can get a semi opaque roll or a clear roll in different widths. I haven't used frisket in many years. The transfer tape does the same job without having to keep multiple products on hand. I appreciate the kind words and apologize for the late reply!
Hi Trevor...Thanks for the tip & your time appreciate it!!!
Thanks Richard!
wondering if i can use clear gesso as a temporary stencii sealerl. i use temporay stencils if i airbrush over it will it stop paint bleed on canvas??? please advise
Clear gesso should work for that purpose. You'll likely still get some paint bleed working on canvas because you're working on a textured surface. This technique really shines when you're working over a very smooth surface.
Thank you very much! You save my live.
Thank you!
been enjoying you videos can i ask about your easel how are you holding the metal sub straight to it ?
I almost always use masking tape (folded over on itself stuck to the backside of the panel and the backboard of the easel) to secure most substrates to my easel. I appreciate the kind words!
Excellent video thanks Trevor 👍 George in uk.
Thank you George! Very much appreciated!
Thank you very well done, im just starting and your a godsend .
I appreciate the kind words!
What kind of material are you airbrushing on?
In this video I was painting over a Gesso covered wooden art panel.
how did you make such curves with vinil masking tape? When I try using my "tamiya for curves" it always get wrinkled
I've never tried using the Tamiya for curves tape, so I can't comment on that brand. I've had very good success using FBS tapes though.
@@wickedartstudio I see, Thanks! I always have Masking problems, speecially with curved ones :'(
Hey great video bud. Good tips. I've had much more success with the vinyl tape as far as curves. Have a good one.
I agree. Vinyl tape is the best option for curves.
Im running into bleed and me cutting thru the paint. Its all practice but man its frustrating
Learning can be very frustrating at times. Unfortunately, practice is a necessary evil to learn. Keep at it! You'll get it figured out!
@@wickedartstudio this quarantine is killing my practice
Nice tips!
Thank you!
Throughout my 59 year's of DIY'ing I have always had to buy new roles of Masking Tape because of everything stuck to the edge of the old tape. You name it pet hair, fluff, wire wool strands, dust the list goes on lol. It should be sold in plastic canisters like PTFE Tape comes in that's used for sealing joints! I'd pay extra for the canisters it would be more cost effective than buying new roles for every job.
I can totally relate to that! On my end, it probably helps that I go through rolls of tape faster than the average do it yourselfer or hobbyist. I buy tape in bulk for the studio and the shop, but I only remove one roll from the box at a time for the same reasons you mentioned. When that roll has been used up, I'll go get another.
thanks
Thank you!
I believe in credit where credit is due and so .... I wanted you to know that I am very glad that I have found your channel. I am a person who loves detail and you provide information in spades. Your work is amazing and I hope that one day, I have a fraction of your knowledge of this craft ... probably most of it will have been gleaned from you. :o) Very best wishes for your continued success.
Thank you for the kind words!
thanks bud
Thank you!
This may as well be in Russian!
Thanks.
Good info but my goodness! Put a little energy in your speech! This was painfully boring to watch.
Thanks
@@wickedartstudio I think your videos are extremely informative and not boring. Also, I can hear you may have been sick when filming this. Thanks again for the info!
@@FireyAfterburner You are correct. I wasn't feeling all that great when I filmed this video. I appreciate the kind words my friend!
@@wickedartstudio Also, I saw in one of your videos you were talking about maybe doing some drawing videos. That would help A LOT. Started drawing and it has been rough.
@@FireyAfterburner I'll try and work some drawing instruction in at some point.
