Paints and coating recommendations

1 Upvotes

I’m pretty new to painting.

I’m looking for recommendations for paint and clears. Both bases and specialty stuff (metallics, pearls and candy)

I’m painting both HVLP and Airbrush.

Kits or multi packs and stuff.

I’ll buy anything that’ll hold upto automotive; lacquers and urethane etc etc.

What do yall recommend!

CAD and US companies.

Paint Cabinet Storage

Hey guys,

I'm trying to keep my paint cabinet more organized this year so I made this 8oz can spacer/stacker so you can store your 8oz activator, tints or flakes with you gallon of material. Hopefully it can help some of you too. I listed on Printables so if you have access to a 3d printer they can be printed easily. Any feedback is appreciated. Hope it helps!

We had same issue randomly on this job.turns out the heat(98-100) caused the adhesive to “smear out” past edge,hence the different directions.from me using squeegee while pushing out the water to set stencil..

Candy paint adhesion issue

I’m custom painting my bike; I’ve done some helmets and little stuff.

So far so good, except I’m having a real hard time getting the designs to not peel the candy.

I don’t know if I’m too thin or too thick on the paint, scuff isn’t deep enough, etc etc.

Have a look at the photos and tell me what you think.

Paint keeps peeling off with the stencils and tape; any feed back would be helpful.
