Great idea. When I finish my truck I am going to have some fun with it ( I hope many tours). Then I want to paint my son's shop name on it and give the truck to him and my Grandsons to use for their shop truck.
Take a self tapping screw and put it through the lid on your paint and leave it there. When you go to use the paint shake the piss out of it then afterward remove the screw. Turn it upside down and give it a little squeeze into a Dixie cup. Continue until you have what you want. Put the screw back in and leave it. Paint wont dry out and you never have that skin on the paint. Plus no mess from pouring and much less waste. The paint around the screw forms a seal.

Been rusting parts for years with 10:1 peroxide, vinegar and water with salt. I like to clear over it to make it new lol. Good shot man, awesome how to.
Well that was to the point and simple.Thank God .There are few people left that have a clue about how to combine the technologys and create a work of art that will endure road salts or whatever.great video and the ska music wasn't bad either
Great!! Job my brother!!.....I have a 1978 C 10 that I'm rating it out.....after watching your video, I was blown away by to see how you done the lettering. My brother owns a cronhole shop! he does some of the best boards in the U S...he creates his stickers, I'm going to try too get him to put something like that on the side of my truck!...maybe if he would let me,I'll advertise his business...He'll help me put that on my truck....thanks for showing me and a lot of other people who would love to do something like this but didn't know where to start!.....Great! Job my brother..
My grandfather would have painted that by hand in less time. He had an old back seat out of a Nash Rambler he kept just for painting on doors so he wouldn't have to sit on the ground. When he retired in the 70's he took his sign painting kit and three small primary colors of paint and hit the road in his camper. If he needed gas or something he would barter with his painter skills. Sometimes something simple like the store hours painted on the inside of the front door glass. He could reverse paint just as fast. I was always amazed how easy he made it look. A couple of bucks worth of paint got him to the entire lower 48 states.
ten littleindians Mon that pretty great I like that, that's how it was done in the old days people would trade work and skills for something my Pop's was that way he was a mechanic he didn't necessarily need the money all time he would trade skills if someone worked for a cement company he would trade to pour cement somewhere in the yard, he even traded for a black to parking lot that this guy used all his matrials after work and small tractor to pave the lot. He rebuilt a engine so it was a far trade. Yes sire I like that idea money is just a promise note anyways
not all of us are great artists, but want that look. i personally draw/write like 3 year old so i wouldnt want that on my doors lol. Not all of use are talented in artistry.
john dowe very true stencils is good draw it all out on a table then tape it on air brushing use lots of stencils for flames to get the diffrent angeles hay do what you gotta do to get the job done.
Hey man I love this video this is exactly what I'm doing now to my shop truck. I already got my stencil negatives back from the sign shop! I'll start painting my letters within a couple of days
Just subscribed, cool video and I learned something, for that I thank you. I am a little bit aways, but will use this technique to letter the 1955 gasser i am building over at my garage. ✌
Hey BBG thanks for the video you're good at this you know great ideas my friend has a Rat Rod going to show him this video probably end up doing the same thing great job, your friends bug that things awesome it just came along for the ride will be watching🕶
The kerning between the "T" and the "A" is off, they need to be less space between them. You needed to distress the lettering while the mask was still on and the paint still tacky. By distressing the lettering after the mask was removed you disturbed the door's patina. A better result would be to thin out the paint so its a bit transparent and use a lettering brush to paint in the letter strokes. The stencil will ensure the letter shapes are correct. The semi transparent brush strokes overlapping gives the effect of sun bleaching. That being said having the letters on rusted metal makes no sense as they would have been originally been on the original car paint. Therefore to have old oxidized car paint with the lettering makes sense you can then rub away the lettering and the car paint together and add the rust patina. Yes?
This works great for larger decals Square your decal backing for points of reference . Put measuring marks on door. Spray door and decal with water. Slide decal around to lineup. Use new bondo spreader to remove water and poke air bubbles with pin
Damn bro that is sweet ride, I got 62 step with black steelies but mine is orange & black with Harley Davidson on doors. Im stealing your rust idea for a subscription to your channel
Not sure if you know this as I didn't want to read through all 118 comments but if you want to "lock in " the rust patina and slightly darken it, wipe the whole body down with a product called Penetrol. Its an oil based paint additive conditioner to help the paint flow and level when brushed on but for some reason it is also a steel protector and will lock in rust, or on bare metal will protect it from corrosion for years.

try using a sponge to apply the paint and thin it up alot.. then it looks like it have been there for decades. or after painting it put a piece of plastic over it mess it up a bit with the fingers to get a wrinkly effect. then wait for some time for the paint to be half set ,then remove the plastic and negative. this way it gets a old weatherbeaten look. the letters need to fit the car..
I've learned a lot from guys with tape covering a finger injury, and I've been that guy many times.
The Ole mandaid approach.. Electrical tape and a rag

That's Awesome.. I have watched a lot of sign painters work. And its amazing how fast a seasoned painter can create perfect lettering.

I liked the bare metal with the blue/red swirls of paint look much better for some reason.
Earthly Tag yah I really thought about leaving it that way
Awesome idea! Looks dope! 🤘

Great advice in this movie ! Thanks !!
dude awesome truck big big Chevy fan
Damn bro that is sweet ride, I got 62 step with black steelies but mine is orange & black with Harley Davidson on doors. Im stealing your rust idea for a subscription to your channel
If you want your lettering to look aged with the first application of paint, try applying the paint with a sponge by daubing it on. It looks great.
This is why I come to the comments. Awesome idea.
Great idea man.
Looks good bro.... Enjoyed the vid.. ✌️

truck looks killer good job
Awesome work looking good
Very cool, great money saver. Thanks
Like the truck! And the letters!
Nice Job, Thanks I might give it a try 👍
Thanks for the info. That is a great idea.
that worked out very well. looks great...have you ever tried to ad a second color for a dimensional effect?
yes works the same way. If you want and shadow effect you can do two stencils one for shadow color one for main color
"WOW"
Beautiful work... So Smart!!!!
This is an EXCELLENT VIDEO...

Good stuff mate
Nice work.
too kool my brother!
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
youd be surprised how many pros use that way of lettering !!!
try using a sponge to apply the paint and thin it up alot.. then it looks like it have been there for decades.
or after painting it put a piece of plastic over it mess it up a bit with the fingers to get a wrinkly effect.
then wait for some time for the paint to be half set ,then remove the plastic and negative.
this way it gets a old weatherbeaten look.
the letters need to fit the car..
Good job and really easy. Even for me ;-).
Bro crack kills! Sorry,man it was too easy. Nice lookin work
Superb.
Very cool!
