Lovefordgalaxie Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Was at YouTube right now taking a look at your other videos. They are all very cool. Do you know a guy called Toppervision? He also uploads some great material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cchapman195 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 I have been trying this since you posted your other video last week. And for the life of me I can't figure it out. Dwayne. Try this. Get a cheap .59 cent 2 oz bottle of paint from Walmart or the cheapest you can find. Mix it with 2 oz of tap water. With four oz of paint you can paint 6-7 bodies. Get a test body and spray it like I did in the video. Light mist coats and let it build up as you turn the body around and around. Once you have complete coverage examine it. Any runs you got to close, any pools you went to slow. Now, go to the sink rinse it off with warm water. Dry and repaint it again. Inspect and rinse off. When you start to feel good about it do it some more. This is a cheap way to just shoot and shoot and shoot until you get it figured out. Watch how you spray and if you get a bad reaction then figure out a way to correct it. I bet by the time you use all the paint you will know how to do it. Good luck and keep me posted.

dwayne4385 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I will try that this weekend. It seems like every time I spray no matter how I mixed it or my air pressure the paint looks textured. I have tried it quite a few times with the same results. I have mixed with both floor polish and windshield washer solvent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vypurr59 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 You are probably just shooting too close to the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold airbrush back and there may be some texture based on the paint used. When you clear it with floor polish it is self leveling so it fills in any divits from texture then levels out. When you polish it with a good polish like Novus or 3M it will cut down high spots. Then a good wax will fill in any divits in clear and make it a high gloss mirror finish. I will have the polishing video up today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwayne4385 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I haven't given up yet. Im going to autorama tomorrow to pick up a few more kits. Then I'm locking myself in the room to figure the out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I'm locking myself in the room to figure the out Right on. Enjoy the Autorama and keep with it. Remember a test body does not need to be sanded or prepped. Just washed. Hope to hear some good news sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney Schwartz Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Get a cheap .59 cent 2 oz bottle of paint from Walmart or the cheapest you can find. Mix it with 2 oz of tap water. Is the the ratio you use when mixing acrylic paint with windshield washer fluid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchapman195 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Sidney, it is the same either way. Washer fluid lays down smoother and is a lot cheaper than floor polish. Thank you Carlos Franco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
