@@ratrodsafrica Naaah! For instance ships for exporting cars to North Africa do transport up to 8500! Therefore I guess that there should even be enough space for your complete workshops, house, dogs etc.. 😁 ;-) I also guess that you would leave the cheeky/naughty monkeys behind.
Laughing, not from me,, I’m in awe!!! Being I have no talent are said equipment, I think I would lean to getting stencil made and spray paint them on! But what a great ideal to try out on a simple design, thx for sharing, and also God bless to see your health improving❤❤❤
Div. It looks good My father was a sign painter. He used a long stick with a cloth ball on the end. You can then bridge the sign, have a place to rest your wrist. Laka
Dif, thank you for the computer lesson. I love the logo! lead based sign is very expensive and not needed for this project, like every other thing on your truck you have left you mark. well done BROTHER.mike.
It's fine, if you need a thinner brush just cut it with some scissors and make your own. Also you could add another color in the outline and that would break it up. It would give it a 3,D look. But it came out great no one is going to say anything when you pass at 50 or 60 MPH. Or Kilometers. Lol. Take care Div.
Hey Div, nice job mate. My son is an Electrical Engineer he reckons every engineer own's a set of colouring pencils, but they only get the engineering degree if they can "colour-in-between-the- lines". Enjoy the "Pandemonium" and good times with your mates. Cheers mate. 👍👍 🦘🦘
I have seen the results of this process but never the demonstration of how it's done. Monkeys on the roof tops it off. Your techniques are very good so don't apologize. Great video Diff.
Awesome afternoon brother from another country very patient 😂 looks awesome !! Once again flytrap is becoming a gentleman lol looks awesome brother say hi to everyone for me
A couple tips on mixing colors, blue mixed with blue usually turns out ok, but reds mixed with red usually gives a disgusting shade of pink. You can darken any color with black, but trying to lighten shades with white can give poor results. Experiment with small amounts before dumping cans together, and you will be far ahead.
Nice steady hand, and yes "one shot" sign painter's paint would have made it a little simpler-- but not necessarily "better". I used a lot of your method years ago to make a 4x8' sign. Didn't have a projector so had to print each part on an 9x11" paper, then trace it onto the sign using carbon paper.
We all do have to start somewhere Diff & you did a fine job with the paints & brushes you had to hand, the only tip i was given was to use a magazine that is printed on shiny paper (top shelf men's mags were the norm lol) to use as a paint pallet as it stops you from overloaded the brushes. Saying that the last work i did was a good ten years ago so i have no idea what my paints look like if i opened them ❤👊👍
Good episode! Ive been doing hand painting on my builds since I was a teenager, I went straight from model cars to real ones so all of the early stuff was actually done with Tester model enamel. I would never have thought about using a projector (even though I have seen it done for murals on buildings) so I guess I learned something new! Actual hand sign painters and pin strippers are rare these days, its another dying art form.
Wow my brother!!,, A TRUE PICASSO AT WORK!!, Awesome dude that you can be such an artist. Looks great and I understand the paint. There is numbers of small ounce cans of colors of pinstripe paints there enamel so not expensive. You can order online and save lots or try your local paint shop next trip to the city and see the costs for your particular colors. Also the pinstripe brushes are also in various sizes and costs but a decent brush is really not expensive. 100.00 american dollars you can buy several colors of paint and brushes. Be curious if you once finished on the Renobug you put some unique graphics or pinstripe and alike the flies make a cool bug ! ❤ love the work looking forward for the next installment. Anxious to see more on the big rig build Ben awhile and I understand why. Prayers to your growing recovery and for healthy life ahead. Oh don't forget to make you a symbol or unique signature and on a part of the sign art leave a signature. After its cured are you gonna put some sort of clear over it to help protect your work? Curious to know what you decide??? Take care!,!
Personally I think you did a good job ! I started pnstriping last October. I did buy nice brushes and paints but, i'm still not confident enough to just do custum designs. It's not that I can't it's I don't want to screw up. Even though you can always just wipe it off.. I use all kinds of patterns from everywhere pintrest mostly and work on glass. I just turned 60 and always loved and was amazed by the guys that just whip out art work.. I've built hundreds of collision cars and totals and custum stuff but, striping is a whole new game ! Maybe some day ! But, You did great. I've used the taking a pin or needle and put holes every /4 inch then use chalk for stuff as well as my projector but, I'd love to get where I don't need it ! Have a great week !
Don't worry how it turned out. If it looked too nice it wouldn't fit with the rest of the truck. I want to do something similar on my garage wall. This gave me the push to get a projector.
Dif, what a fun ep. A man of many talents. Just takes time, a lot of patience, Most important 'av a go', gr8 vid looks gr8 icing on the cake. Cheers, love it
i draw stick ppl very well tho. i drew a stick image n mate said its obviously a dog on all fours ..WRONG its my mother feeling for her glasses on the carpet..your projector was our very first mural in early 70's i had a panel/paint shop. we bought at auction a university wall a4 projector. we took 35mm drawing n projected it onto a 40' pantec..didnt take long for other shops to catch on.. your work sir is stunning.power t u Div
I was expecting a living fly to walk across your artwork and leave footwork helter skelter over it all. But your good fortune held up, and the door banner now sits proudly on your chosen space. Have fun at the meet as well as the journey to and from same.👍
I don't have a projector but I do have some letter templates and masking tape to help with layout. Can't change the sixe or the font but it still kinda works.
Im a lefty also welcome to the left handed club we meet on Thursday lol the new guy brings the donuts 😁🍩😎 great video diff...
You must be from a different chapter, I've been a member for 63 years!😅 Thanks bro
This reminded me of Bob Ross "We don't make mistakes, we have happy accidents"
😄👍
Haha , I thought of Bob Ross immediately also
Never thought I would be attending your computer classes Diff, Great stuff 🙂
😄 Don't worry, not likely that it will happen again 😅
I see the visor is a matching color now . I never thought of painting that way that great 👍
I gave the visor an instant rust treatment, then wiped it with boiled linseed oil
That is a super slick way to paint the design on your vehicle. The results look great and has patina
Thanks 👍
Hi Diff. Your talent and abilities never cease to amaze me !
Well done Diff! This looks flippen cool very well done 👏 love it.
Glad you like it! Thanks
Well done Div; you never cease to amaze. But now, prices of old projectors will go through the roof... Thanks Div, lol.
Teachers will wonder what happened to their projectors.
🤣
That looks great!!!! It fits the truck perfectly!!!!😁
Thanks! 👍
Dude… Move to Texas and be my neighbor!

I am not surprised to see this project happen under your tutelage.
You have great ingenuity.
And of course the result is great !
Thanks Diff! You make the world a better place!

Thanks!
Div, you can make pinstriping! Your hand, like rock. I cant paint scratches on my bike so careful. Sorry for my english. Hi from Russia
Hello! Thank you🙂
Looks great Dif. Fits the truck perfectly
Thanks 👍
Looks real good Diff, just need to give it a little rub down to give the aged stressed look to match the rest of the truck
Yes, I agree!
Nicely done. You have smooth hand for an OG.
-Dan from Oregon
Thank you!
Looks good Div, maybe a rub over with some scotchbright and a coat of linseed to age it a little??
Yeah, needs some aging. It will help to hide the shaky lines 😂
For those in the states, Amazon has affordable paint pens that might work great for this.
Suits the truck just fine, have a great trip.
You put the effort in to it this way it comes out to what YOU are happy with
diff should have called it rattrap with a rat. great video
Cool. I've been in the sign business since 1983. Your work is great and fits the vehicle. Much better than the computer guys these days.
Thank you! Coming from a pro, that's a big compliment!
That looks amazing! Great idea re the projector! Thanks again for including us sisters!
It's my pleasure, sista!😊

"Jack off....😂. I try to be good at ALL things too!
Thanks brother!
Div, your SOS brother from Wyoming here. This is why I follow your videos. Thanks. By the way, the color of the fly is called periwinkle.
Thanks brother!

"fly trap" slang meaning: persistence, to rise above limitations. I think you nailed it brother!
😀 Thanks!
Great job Div looks good . Have you lost a hub cap . lol
Still have to put it back after working on the shackles 🙂
Looks Awesome Div great colors From my house looks great

Brother don't beat yourself up about the paint , its better than i could have done , looks cool 😎😎🤘🤘
Love this all.
Sadly……
I sold two data projectors in February.
But… I may have another from the last contract.
Great advice

Looks great for a ratrod😊😊
That's right add thinner for paint flow
Looks great Div. great idea
No he's coming to Tennessee he's use to the mountains and Forrest's don't have any monkeys though 😂 great job 👍
Maybe if you promise to climb up on the roof and bang around like a monkey, he'll move over here lol.
😄Mountains sound good to me!
That turned out great. I love the artwork.

@ratrodsafrica Should have known you would prefer keeping it real in the Forest.👍
Well I'm impressed!👍
dig it Div, another skill you have and also computor , internets skills....lol
You could also put your design on paper , cut out the letters as a templet and tape the templet on the truck. Same with the flies.
That's another way, but more time consuming
Looking good 👍👍
One day I’ll definitely give that a try
I don't have a projector but I do have some letter templates and masking tape to help with layout. Can't change the sixe or the font but it still kinda works.
Thanks Div! I think your name needs to go on the door just under the window like the race car drivers do. “Div” 👍🏻
good job my friend
Enjoy the petroleum fueled camping adventure.😊
Thanks!
very good piece of work
Looks awesome Div!
Cool stuff man! Sending best wishes for your trip! Be safe

Thanks brother!
