  • In this video I break down the fundamentals behind pulling off a ghosted image. I discuss different types of paint and how they interact with each other when it comes to choosing a good basecoat for your ghosted image. I also talk about mixing custom colors using dry pearl versus using what is available off the shelf.

    Hi Trevor, I haven't seen you in a while, but I am glad you are back. I have watched this video and found that your theory is great, I am not to hot with pearl, in fact I am terrible, but I am very interested in the next part to see the outcome. Thank You for the information.

      Thanks Richard! I would use a red pearl for the best results in my opinion, but you can get away with whatever color you like.

    Very informative video to a non painter such as myself. Being familiar with mixing colours my question regarding starting from powders is, how do you reach precise consistency, especially making relatively small batches or down the road a remix for a repair job ?

    • @wickedartstudio
      @wickedartstudio  3 года назад

      Thank you for the kind words! The amount of dry pearl added doesn't need to be absolutely precise, just very close. To put it into perspective, there is generally around 2 ounces of dry pearl powder mixed into a quart when matching factory existing colors. You can mix smaller amounts using a smaller unit of measure if you choose to do so. It is more difficult to mix a dry pearl into very small amounts of color/binder and achieve consistent results though. The amount of coats applied and proper spray technique are just as important when matching existing colors.

    Hi Trevor, really like your videos. Only started airbrushing when the lockdown in the UK came in to effect. Used to do photography (mainly wildlife) but being a disabled OAP and with all the areas shut down where I used to go I was looking for something that I can do from home. I learned a lot from your videos and now being able to get decent results with the basics I am trying out new and different projects (mainly using stencils till I get better) but I also love mincing my own colours. My question is what do you use to mix your pearl colours? I see that you showed the bottles of PRL 95, 91,B92 and the two tubs of powder but can't figure out what exactly it is and where to get it (in the UK).
    Keep up the awesome work you share with us and really appreciate and look forward to every video you post.
    Many thanks, Bernhard

      Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to leave a comment Bernhard! The powdered pearls I normally use are either a PPG product (the PRL bottles) or House of Kolor dry pearl concentrate (the small tubs). To my knowledge, you can't purchase PPG products online. You have to find a local jobber to get those. You can purchase the House of Kolor dry pearls online, but I'm not sure which site you'd need to use in the UK. I'll leave a U.S. link so you can see what they actually are though... amzn.to/33JI5X4 (P.S. The link is for only one color - there are many).

    Hi Trevor
    I've got wicked detail airbrush paint how do I get transparent paint with them

    • @wickedartstudio
      @wickedartstudio  3 года назад

      Realistically speaking, all of the Createx paints (Auto Air Colors, Wicked Colors and Illustration Colors) are transparent with the exception of the newer Opaque Illustration Colors. It's just the nature of water-based paint. Even the semi-opaque Auto Air Colors have very transparent qualities when they are sprayed. So If you're using Wicked Colors, you're essentially using transparent paint already. If you're looking for more transparency, you can add Transparent Base, UVLS Clear or 4030 Balancing Clear to whatever color you are using. Adding a clear binder to your color will increase the transparency of the color without thinning the viscosity of your mixture. It can thicken the paint depending on how much clear you add which may require adding some more reducer to the mix.

    Hey I'm painting a 67 mustang dark High land green metallic an want to paint darker green ghost strips over the car any help

    • @wickedartstudio
      @wickedartstudio  3 года назад

      You can't really create "darker" stripes if you plan to ghost them. From a side view they should appear darker, but from a direct view under good light they will appear lighter. That's how pearl works. Either way, the process would be the same. You just need to tape off your stripes in place of the flames.

    thin film interference might be the actual name of the phenomenon.

    • @wickedartstudio
      @wickedartstudio  2 месяца назад

      It may be, but there are specific particulates involved in a layer of paint that create the refraction as opposed to a substance creating a film. So, I'm not sure if that definition is accurate or not. In short... I'm not that smart 🤣😂.

    • @jarredmattingly5369
      @jarredmattingly5369 2 месяца назад

      @@wickedartstudio the name may mislead here, as I don't think they really mean film but more of the interference with thin layers. Like, I think thin film interference is the physical explanation of opalescence, gasoline on water, etc... but yeah, it's a title thing that may throw people off.
