Prepare Paint For Artwork – Masking Flame From Donnie-Smith.com
http://CollisionBlast.com – – Please rate this video. All ratings and comments are appreciated. This is part two in answering a question asked of how to prepare a car that has good paint to add artwork. I am not aware of a way to paint the airbrush work without scuffing the panel and re-clearing the panel. This will assure proper adhesion to prevent peeling. Part one described how to clean and scuff the paint. Part two discusses how to mask, or free hand artwork.
1. Lay out the initial outline with 3M blue fine line masking tape.
2. Using 3M 3/4″ and 1 1/2″ masking tape, tape around the blue fine line tape.
3. Using masking paper, mask the rest of the area not being airbrushed.
Now you’re ready to airbrush the flame. If you’re free handing your artwork, you could skip this step.

What is that curtain for?

I am inside a prep station because I am going to airbrush and clear. A prep
station has fans that help remove the overspray.

question for ya: how do you make flames symetrical if you are laying out
flames on both sides of a vehicle? laying out flames and reinforcing the
layout is something i already know how to do, but how do you make them
match sides?

@XxsoulermachinaxX That is pretty simple, but hard to explain. I will try
to make a quick video and get back with you on that. Thanks for watching.

If you would be doing some airbrushing on a tailgate of a truck, would you
have to sand down the whole tailgate or just the area youre doing the
design.?
July 24, 2011 @ 11:07 am
@jorgequintana18 Yes, because you will need to clear coat over the art work
and the whole tailgate. You can sand it with 800-1200 before airbrushing,
then clear the whole tailgate. Thanks for watching and let ne know if have
other questions.

I’ve got a quick question for you, What is the tape you use to lay out the
flames?
November 17, 2011 @ 9:00 pm
@March94Hare This is a fine line tape made by 3M. It work real well for
this type of work. You can get it in different widths.

hey quick question, i was wondering if you could direct me towards a cheap
clear coat for plastics
February 28, 2012 @ 10:20 pm
@theheftytugboat Most clear coats can be applied over painted plastic. Some
cheaper lines are ShopLine, Nason, Keystone. There are others as well.
Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have other questions.

Great video. How do we email you with a question about painting and
prepping on vehicles with fiberglass hoods?
November 8, 2012 @ 9:37 am
Fiberglass can be primed with 2K primer surfacer and vlock sanded. You do
not need etch primer or epoxy since corrosion is not a concern with
fiberglass. Once block sanded with 320 I would final sand with 500, then
apply sealer allow to flash, apply base coat, allow to flash, then clear
coat. Thanks for warching the videos.

Amazing work ! I have a question ! If we have difficulties to apply the
first masking tape to draw these flames, can we draw them with a pencil on
the primer, then applying the masking tape on it ? Thank you for your
answer 🙂
