Do all those bse coats show thru? The gold and green for example?

give it a try steelhead, I've layered paints, it's a fine line, you can't go to heavy with the black, but, you get some nice subtle hints show thru.. do them all while they are wet :heybaby: :uhuh:
I've done a blurple/gold on needles, with a green/blue haze.. looks like eel skin in the water

I've done it with a silver or gold over a solid color. The solid colors I've found to be harder to control.

:hihi: depends which way your lookin'

..

freak are you epoxying over the upol or is that the only clear on your plugs? If your only using the spray clear, how does it hold up?

BTW, Killer paint jobs!

Okay. With the close ups, I'm seeing what I'm lookin for....
Those Rustoleum cans or autobody cans?

Thank FF for a most exccelent tutorial.

some is laquer some is enamel some is eurethane, some is mystery paint. in my life, time is money, and you only get paid $ to do it once. do-overs suk, not saying RUSH everything as things take time to flash off but heet is a big factor.nothing works in here under 70 degrees including me. wet on wet. dry over dry, dry on topwet over dry, never dry on top of wet. red over silver, never silver over red. silver sux anyway.flouresent orange under pearl white,black over blue,grain needs black to hide. sand to 400 scuff sand with gold scuff pads if you've waited too long, nib no luv me, slip likes me,
work fast, get it done. ship it out, don't %$%$%$%$ it up. looks good, customer happy,i'm happy, paint loves me, i get paid, wife happy.
get it done, 1 hour start to finish, none of this two days to dry stuff.if it works it works if it don't it don't, try again.

Mike

:hidin:

No he's a plug whore Dave :)

Flat Rate???:cool:

In the water....

:laughs: i'll tell ya, i don't care. two part epoxy primer/sealer.
look for something that says non-sanding primer sealer and give it a try.

Maybe you should have called this thread "punch your airbrush in the mouth and kick it in the nutz" :bl: :jump1: Good stuff!

Jigman

Thanx freak. great how-to.....

That looks like some pissah stuff, how many Plugs do you get out of a can of that...roughly.

Nice job Mike. That Upol is the nutz:kewl:

[Q

Anybody close by to give Mike another shot of sodium pentathol. :huh: :D
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Mike, it is really apprciated.:kewl:

Anybody close by to give "The Paintmeister" another shot of sodium pentathol. :huh: :D


Thanks for sharing your knowledge Mike, it is really appreciated.:kewl:

be patient. i'm workin here.whell somewhat:hidin:

:drool:

Mike, can I do that to the rest of these just like that?

yep :humpty:
just like that :humpty:

so as long as I scuff them good, it's not too late to pour on more clear? that's what you are saying?

cuz I'll go get some at an auto parts store this week if that's the case.
29 plugs on the spinner will take me forever.

call me

i poured two part eurethane clear on it. would be the same for all top-coats
I'm looking for alternatives to epoxy and that two part clear sounds interesting. If you don't mind sharing, what is it? How well does it hold up? How bad is it for your health?

Mike - I'm getting ready to paint my first plugs and your post is awesome - thank you!

..

Hey Freak how come ur so quite in person.
I bet once u loosen up ur a riot.
Nice pictoral.
nothin better in the dead of winter.

So Mike if you wait a day and as long as you scuff you can get the same results with an epoxy cover? I just can't do it that fast after the U-POL. I have to wait a day or 2. Is there any benefit to doing it within 18 hours other than not having to scuff? Paul

..

two part auto eurethane clear, ppg dc3000 is the stuff nowadays :lurk: , it will change soon, i can tint it, add flex, add fisheye eliminator, add reducer,add fadener, there's a "very" fine line between mint and %$%$%$%$, watch the clock,watch the thermostat 10 minutes flash time, 11 minutes is pushing it,12 minutes your done, %$%$%$%$,:smash: do it over, it sux,:yak6: put the heet lamps on it,sand it down again, i suck, working for free,again,
but if everything is good in paint land for that zen moment, it's the farr-iiigin' cats nutz.. look at the hood or the rubba bumpers on any car, take a bite, is it tough, does it scratch,can ya bounce rocks off it, not something you do in the basement :skulz:


Yup, and when your finshed, unless freak paints it, stirs it, and pours the stuff, it will never come close to bein a freakedout finish. :doh: :D

HEY, I'll take ya to catch a bass in Feb... I just need to know what that stuff is :rtfm: :usd:

Nice Mike...:btu: :btu:

hey ff do you ever just use the U-Pol straight without epoxy or eurethane as a top coat?

yep,
