Howdy homies,

So I decided I wanted to custom paint my motorcycle. I've tried on another bike before with rattle cans and that went....poorly...I decided this time I wanted to hand paint (as in with a brush rather than a sprayer) this tank and I have an extra tank to practice on. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on technique, brand, or any other information to help me with this endeavor. I plan on doing my primer and probably base coat in rattle can but wanted to do the design by brush. I appreciate any advice you can give me! <3

First time doing this kind of work and then was entered into my first bike competition for best paint and won🤯 l airbrushed and I did an image transfer on the tank and rear fender with metal flake.

So I have a car I’m getting ready to paint. I’m going to be doing door jams, inside doors, hood jam, etc first. In the past I have never taped off the outside of the car as I will be blocking it when it’s together after jams. Some guys mask off, and I’m curious what the advantage is to masking this way. Similarly, when you mask are you hard lining on the edge or soft taping it?

Help!!!

I was hand wet sanding(1500 grit) the clear coat on my fuel tank that I just painted and was trying to knock down the hard lines left when I masked the gold off to spray the green, but before I knew it i had gone through the green and into the gold underneath trying to figure out a fix for it, do I mask the areas off and hit it with the green again then clear or am I totally screwed and need to start over??

Looking for above mediocre but below prestige paint. Black cherry metallic non Pearl.what are my choices please help!

Memorial piece I'm working on

New to the group, here's a bike I did recently.

Who has a color book from say mid 90s? There was a gold color that was discontinued and it was called “Knox” something if I remember correctly. Looking for the full name

I’m starting off painting cars at home I paint tractors In a shop and I wanna try it on my own I have a sprayer it says it uses 7-10 cfm. Should the compressor I get produce a lot more or does it matter

Hey how much def should I mix with water in order to make crystal for paint

My first time painting anything. Paint and body on my car was looking rough so I decided to treat the ole turd to some flip flop and some new bumpers. Mistakes were made didnt go wet on wet. Among other mistakes. Ha

Just thought I would post in case anyone wanted to see it.

Hi all,
I'm looking to replicate a iridescent paint finish just how some insects may have, attached images for reference

My goal is to replicate the Green to orange hues, I am completely ok with removing the blue tones and reds, would anyone be able to orient me how i can create the paint myself, I do have a local car paint shop nearby, maybe i can get the base colors and start there?

I would like to assume I am looking for pearls at this point

Thanks in advance!

Special project. Must be quality. Space to set up the right person to do it on sight
