    Probably the best tutorial for us rookies on the web. So many artists are selfish with their tricks and tips.....thank you for your time and the lesson.

      Get a grip. Selfish?! What, people that have practised for years and years, paid for courses or mentoring, read and paid for books to hone their craft and you're calling them out because they don't want to upload a video step by step guide for you?? People like you who are always looking for shortcuts are the people that make this world a shitter place, jog on you pleb.

I work in a dangerous profession that was held back for years because the old timers would not share their tricks and tips with the young up and comers that followed them. And yes....they are selfish, just as I am sure that you are, with your dweeb comment. I will not continue this conversation and disgrace what this man has done by taking the time to SHARE with others his knowledge and expertise. I hope that one day you can understand what your comment brings to this page.

I think it'll take some practice on my part to even get half as good:) I'd like to do this technique on a furniture project I have in mind, re-creating antique advertising lettering.

    Painted some flames on car hood once. Artist friend of mine convinced me to use gold leaf on the flame tips. He showed me how. He didn't use adhesive. He put alcohol on the hood and put a piece of leaf on top. The alcohol dried up and sucked the leaf flat onto the paint. Trim with a razor blade and clear over it. It has been there for 22 years and still looks great. It was a small area about 3/8" x 1". Don't know how well that would work on a large area like those numbers.

    I once had to do a mural on the inside of a dome. It was 35' wide and the corresponding height and depth. Four figures and a main figure. The only way to do it was with a projector. I mounted the projector on a flat surface connected to a ball joint on a solid photographers tripod for complete control while I traced it down. It seems to me this would be useful for complex lettering or patterns on surfaces that have two or more curves.

    I used "variegated leaf"...as well, one word, many don't know what "Dutch gold leaf " is..no criticism just saying. Also after 50 years in biz I would use
    1 Shot white with a bit of boiled linseed oil to avoid buying size in a pinch, and a white backing gives a little Xtra to brilliance. Man.. I'm retired now but spent years pinstriping and lettering race cars and Big Rig diesel trucks. Thanks good work.

    That is so cool and thanks very much for sharing. Question; If am inter-clear that is used paint flames, add decals and other, then finish the area with a urethane clear coat over the area? Since it contains "UV" inhibitors and provides a harder finish, would this work or have you done this. Some painters do this to finish when done.

      I have put the Dux varnish over my leaf , and then automotive urethane over everything. It’s all good. Although, I have never pressure washed it. 😉

    Looks amazing, my only concern is how durable this is. Would it get damaged or scratched when washing/ polishing the vehicle?

      2 coats of brush clear is not as durable as automotive urethane clear. ( which should be sprayed on ) if you drive this vehicle every day, in sun and snow and rain. Wash it and wax it . It will hold up for a little while. I usually do gold leaf on antiques and show vehicles. It will hold up fine in this circumstance. Thank you for watching

    Thank you. Is it possible to cover all the work by polyurethan varinish? I mean spary a layer of gloss pu all over the work job, to give it better protection and gloss sheen?

      It’s ok to clear everything with a automotive urethane, but no not polyurethane. Also, if you clear it with urethane, make sure you spray 3 coats very light , like a mist ,before you hit it hard. To much to fast can lift the artwork. Always try samples before doing it on original artwork. Thank you.

    Other than Dux what else can I use to urethane topcoat it? Or will it be okay?

    • @rickbendi8709
      @rickbendi8709  Před 4 lety

      Ryan Heisey I'm not sure I understand the question , you can brush clear Dux over the top of it ,or you can spray urethane clear over it. Urethane is a more durable top coat. Even if you brush the Dux clear. , you can still urethane over everything. I hope this helps

    Fantastic video. What paint are you using on your paint brush? Is it normal paint kids would use? Or is it acrylic or 2K?

    Will leafing over paint with a clear coat affect the longevity of the leaf? Is it safe to rough up the surface before applying?
    Will using the dux glue work as a finish or should/can you use clear coat?
    Thanks for the video! I'm thinking about doing custom work to my motorcycle!

      I’ve only done leaf over clear coat. When you do your bike , you can paint the tank base coat clear coat urethane. Then wet sand it with600 grit , do your leaf and art work. Then re clear the tank with urethane clear coat and it will last longer.

    • @rickbendi8709

      It will hold up fine, that vehicle will not see a lot of weather or abuse. I would not use that clear on an everyday vehicle , I would use an automotive urethane. But the enamel paint will be great. I use that to letter trucks and pinstripes thanks for watching 😎

    What products would you recommend for gold leafing fretwork on a Victorian house, keeping in mind it’s always out in the weather?

    • @rickbendi8709
      @rickbendi8709  Před rokem

      People do gold leafing on building’s ,but I do automotive . The process and sizing might be different.I use urethane clear if I want it to last. But there’s got to be a better way to do architectural work. try looking up gilding in architecture, they should help. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more help. Thanks for watching
