    this is the 75th video I watched on how to spray paint on something.. I noticed that it doesn't matter if you've done such a great job or not.. people would always leave negative comments.. I don't know if they can do something better or just jealous.. anyways, great job man

    I almost like it better before the black better, I know the black gives it the depth to get the 3D look but the first 2 colors worked very well together. It's harder to do on a small piece because you have to use more black or it won't look the same, on a bigger project you can use less black and really get the depth/3D look to pop. It's all about depth perception.

  • @richardallman2445
    @richardallman2445 8 лет назад

    We have painted four complete trucks using a similar technique,the result is awesome, especially if you use multiple colours its vital to have the black on last because it adds depth to the entire job and the 3d effect . Another trick is to use gloss colours for the base colours, and flat black over everything, the gloss colours pop under the flat colour and creates a definite 3D effect all flat colours just blend into eachother and you dont get the same effect. We just finished a jeep cherokee in pink and purple camo it looks pretty good. From beginning to end including sanding prep a bit of body work and masking, the entire truck took about 36 hours

    You should spray the helmet green then paint it with the tan using the foliage. That way the foliage will be green with a tan background rather than tan foliage with green background.

    This looks like the Western red cedar I have all over, or something close.
    This is pretty cool but I'm going to start with that leafy green color 1st, and lay down different leaves all over at once so I don't have to move them all around...I'm thinking cedar, plus ferns, bramble leaves & a couple others plus branches.

    PS, the idea of leaving some of the pattern along the top of the visor is smart. I’ve always used a strip of electrical tape across the top for those days when you’re riding into the sun, but your idea is much better and more creative.

      @marker1982 9 лет назад

      Francis Arthur, You're right, it does weaken the helmet. They do make a product that you can put as a base first so the chemicals in the paint don't compromise the structural integrity of the helmet. I can't remember what it's called right now but I believe it is a water based barrier that won't effect the helmet. Most industries won't allow any painting on hard hats and some have stopped allowing people to even put stickers on them because they say that the chemicals in some adhesives will do the same thing.

      Mike OD Of course camo is contextual. Effective camouflage is a number of factors besides colour and pattern. Far more important to concealment is movement and contrast with background. I know of course that's not the goal here. You're going for a cool look and I'd say achieved it. Often home camo jobs end up looking very bush league but yours turned out well. That is cedar you're using BTW.

    if you would of made your base coat green your leaves would of turned out green instead of tan...don't see a lot of tan leaves...I di my base coats in green and brown so when you spray over the leaves you are left with a green or brown leaf and the black and tan end up as the filler in colors ... but the tan leaves look good to

  • @MtnBadger
    @MtnBadger 9 лет назад

    You want the light base coat first. If you do green first then it looks like a picture of the foliage which is not natural. The lighter branches resembles the foliage catching light rays, which is what you want.
    After the green you can do brown for "woodland" 3 color.. But whether you use the brown or not, to go back over with very light tan highlights makes them pop with a little more depth. The black is a good touch but with lighter, more wispy shots of paint, it would add the shadow effect intended without covering up an otherwise nice job. I agree, too much black. Overall a good vid, tho. Thanks.
