Your work is just ridiculous. I just wanted you to know half of my airbrush compressor is full of stickers while the other side has just one of them and will ever be just one. That isolated sticker says "Wicked Art Airbrush Studio" because the respect I have for your work and how much you've helped me even if you don't know it. Thanks.
I used car paints years ago and coverage was never a problem. I could paint quickly and wasn't that worried about paint lifting off with tape. Breathing solvent was the problem!
I used automotive urethane for half of my career as well. A big part of the reason I switched to water-based paint was for health reasons. The technology has come a long way since I began using it about 15 years ago though. Coverage is no longer an issue like it once was. Don't get me wrong, the water-based technology is still a little behind the urethane in my opinion, but I've figured out ways to mitigate that issue when it occurs.
Trevor, although I love your tutorials (I've watched the Hulk 'candy' video several times to learn how to use candies better) I really love the 'job' videos. Please do a quick short of the finished bike once it is cleared if you can, please. I would love to see the finished product. It's been a great trip watching you paint this Bagger! I'm also thankful you found a way to keep sharing your talent with us even though time has become a factor in producing videos. A big thank you for finding a way to continue to share your talent.
I will try to put something together to show the completed bike at some point. When it comes to the motorcycles I custom paint, many times the client is from another state and only the tins are shipped to me (that is the case with this bike). So, I don't always have the opportunity to get photographs of the completed bike actually put together. I know I've been absent from the channel again for a few months and I apologize for that. I have a lot going on and just haven't had the time to devote to making videos recently. I will be back again when things slow down though! I appreciate the kind words and the support my friend!
Do you ever wear a respirator when airbrushing? I read about a guy that died of cancer from inhaling paint which migrated to his internal organs from inhaling it.
I do, but I don't always wear a full respirator. I wear a full respirator anytime I'm spraying a large volume of paint with a spray gun, a mini spray gun or even an airbrush with a fan nozzle attached to it. For the purpose of general airbrushing, a respirator isn't really necessary because we're generally working at lower pressure (far less particulates and droplets are transferred into the air). I prefer to wear a more comfortable mask while doing general artwork (I use 3M N95 masks) compared to a respirator. Having said all of that, you won't see me wearing either in instructional videos because I need to talk in order to explain what I'm doing.
I really like your teaching style. First person I watched that I feel comfortable learning from!
Thank you so much!
Finally got the time to watch the whole skull vid. Great work my friend.
Thank you, my friend!

Thanks for the tip, it sounds counterintuitive to use black when you need to paint with white, but the logic makes sense!
Thank you, my friend!
Hi Trevor, always great tips 👍 and advice
Thank you, my friend!
I hope all is well with you and your family
We're getting by one day at a time my friend. Thank you.
