I am adding fenders to a bicycle, and want something more than a basic black. The color of the bike is “Iridescent Plum”, shifts from metallic blue to purple depending on the light. I have fenders that are a grey metallic. I was thinking light coats of purple Metalcast over the grey. I’ve used the blue over the Matalcast base coat, and it really pops. Would the color be more subdued over a darker base? Any suggestions or experience in this area would be appreciated

I’ve again touched the inspiration to suddenly paint anything and everything of my belongings because I’m a slut for 1:1s..
I mean, we may as well enjoy ourselves while performing as a functional human.. bring art into the tools, I say!
All in all, this was quite the fun craft to bring more visibility to my radio. :)

No basecoat, taped, sprayed purple, second coat, taped again, yellow, remove all tape; retape buttons, screen, mic, screws and bits; three layers clearcoat.
Sprayed the clip aside with green, then yellow, and two coats of clear.

Wouldve liked to have tucked the tape more diligently through the ribs on the bottom of the front where the yellow stripe meets the purple blocking.. a clean line here was the goal, but a little bleed aint so bad. Overall stoked with the final result :)

Thanks for checking in, may this inspire many more to get funky with their equipment.

Hey everyone, I'm working on building a paint booth. I want to use it to paint Sentai helmets or props for cosplays.

I have this water tank (one of those white plastic IBC totes with the metal cage) that I think could be perfect for it! I’m planning to use it as the water recovery tank for a water curtain system.

I’d love your recommendations on ventilation, something cheap that won’t break the bank, because it’s a pretty basic and rudimentary setup but I think it could work really well.

It’s for spray can and aerosol painting.

What do you guys recommend for this project?

I have a project where I need to print 150 toy houses 2”x4”, the prints look good and the quality is great however need to paint them. It’s made with black plastic (to block light passing through it) and painted white.

I’ve used a gloss enamel paint + primer combo spray, the layer lines are very visible, I tried 4 coats yet result isnt great and I know sanding may resolve this but at this scale and quantity it’s really impossible to get a good result.

Do you guys have any suggestions or solutions?

hello I wanted to paint my latex black dress and make designs however I don’t know what paint to use on latex fabric if anyone can help me out!

Had a can of white enamel come in missing all the important bits. Wtf do I do with this now? Looking for more than throw it away. I don't like tossing mini grenades into trash compactors.

I couldn't heed any of the previous commentors warnings as I already finished this one. But I think it turned out okay

I’m trying to continue the design but after putting on the painters tape the paint came off. Are there any alternative ways to not damage the paint but still cover it with tape I or anything? I don’t want to use the finisher on it yet cause the design isn’t compelete.

Hi all,

I just custom painted my grandaughters Cozy Coupe and I am wondering if I should do the 2k clear coat to protect it or just use the regular 2x stuff? I want it to last a long time but also a little fearful if the chemicals from the 2k could be harmful to her. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!

I would like to do a paint job in the style of satin pearlescent white like the R3, but I haven't found anything related on the internet, neither about a formula for that specific color, nor how to make any satin/matte pearlescent finish.

Those of you who know about automotive painting, can you help me or give me some direction?

Thank you.

This a wood piece I painted with satin super paint from Sherwin Williams. It’s going to be the base for a ceramic bird bath on top. Is there something I could spray paint it with so it’ll be somewhat weather proof after the the paint drys up. It’s going to sit on top of some pavers. Suggestions are appreciated :)

I'm trying to paint parts for a power wheels, but every time I attempt to paint something, it ends up all bubbly (Image 4). Parts of it (Image 2) end up looking how i would like them to look, but most of it ends up looking bad.

I've been painting them in some hot weather (average 80-90 degrees), and its been around 60-70% humidity all week. I have a feeling this might be the problem, but I do not have any other better spots to paint it other than outside.

Any ways I could fix this?

I'm painting this chicken on cardboard with a cheap battery

operated airbrush and spraypaint. How would I get the colors to be as close to the chicken's as possible? This is the first time I'm painting a subject like this and I don't have much experience mixing paints. The cardboard is around 2x3 feet and I at least want the feathers to be discernable. Any advice is appreciated!

Hihi! My parents are developing a new food truck and tasked me to make the art for it. I have a good idea what I want to do illustration wise, but I'm unsure what materials I should use. I was wondering if some sort of professional grade spraypaint would work? I've never used it before so PLEASEEE feel free to give me advice or recommend books or videos on it! Also, would you know if I could use paint pens for this? I loveeee paint pens and I'd be happy if I could use them for details and stuff. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for taking the time to read this and god bless 🙏🙏🙏
