Hello my friends! I messed this one up a few times but with some practice I'll be able to get some crazy new cars done. Hope you enjoy my experiment video, hope your week is good. Namaste 🤘🤘🍻🍻
I purchased gold leaf as an experiment to try on castings. Decided to see if anyone else has thought of this, and of course, here we are. Nice work. Helpful tips.
And yet another beautiful car! I think it would be very cool to see your cars under bright but overcast daylight. Maybe set up the turntable outside and show us a few of them. They all look really good under your studio lights but I suspect they might look even better in daylight. Regardless, thanks for sharing all these with us!
Pretty wild luster to it. I think you’re right about it having that crushed velvety vibe! I like it man, cool video! (I wonder what a yellow candy would look like over it? Butterscotch?)
I love the effect that that can go leaving had underneath candy color the little imperfections looking such thing and a great effect is turned out awesome I love that car
Excellent work! Wasn’t sure about the purple but the red is absolutely stunning! Another cool effect would be candy over some turned leaf. Would make for a fun low rider!
great job Sir...those "grills" on the side are the iconic Buick port holes...Ive been selling Buicks since 1984....those port holes first showed up on the 1948 Roadmaster....they are still showing up on todays Enclave models...
Not gonna lie, I’m eagerly waiting for the next wild and crazy low rider. Between this and the etched flame effect, I feel like you’re developing a plethora of visual effects.
now this looks like the fancy customs from the 90's, where they smoothed everything out and applied the most interesting paintjobs... instead of a dull basecoat like nowadays. :/ in real this buick would be quite the head-turner for sure. :D
Some adhesion promoter on top of the leaf would help with the paint adhering to the gold leaf. I didnt think the purple would turn out well because of the gold color underneath I figured it'd take a bunch of coats and get too dark. Figured a red, orange,green, or yellow candy would work best. Looked awesome in the red.
Austin, you've done it again. Simply amazing effect. I think this would look amazing in green, or a blue as well. Maybe orange? I'd be interested to try this with white too. Have you considered trying "brushed" or "turned" gold leaf? Like the letters on a fire truck? I think they do a soft cotton ball or something, I think in your scale you could even use an eye shadow applicator thing? You know, looks like a Q tip or swab but has a foam end rather than cotton?
hello again. i think if you got hold of some real gold leaf you'd find it more manageable for what you're trying to do. that said, thanks for the entertainment. i really like the quality of your paint work. there are some good builders out there, but your paint work is unmatched.
Very cool. Too bad about the paint chipping. That purple would have been incredible. However, the end result was just as stunning. You do fantastic work my friend. Please keep the vids coming.
1st time I tried that I used clear red candy over the gold, turned out the most beautiful sunburst orange I’ve ever seen. A complete accident for sure but damn it was gorgeous.
That is just awesome hat red looks like raspberry jam (errr jelly for you guys in the US) looks delicious Ace .... now lm feeling hungry for a raspberry jelly sandwich 🥪 😋
Awesome experiment, came out great. It might be interesting (but probably a massive pain in the ass) to do real gold leaf on the stripes for a GT350H, just a suggestion.
I definitely think lighter colours work with the gold better as it has a bright hue to it. With the purple I think maybe a silver leaf would make it shine better

Looks better than anything I've done!!
Absolutely stunning! You've opened up a whole new route of exploration! What a masterpiece!
Hello
Haven't seen Tiny Turner lately, is she ok 😝👍😂
Gold and Red candy looks amazing 👏
Cool look! You should do a hearse in this color with black, as this color reminds me of red crushed velvet, like in a coffin! 🤣
OH
MY
GOODNESS!!!
THIS IS SOO MAGNIFICENT!!
I had to watch this video twice just to see the sparkles
That was amazing. So glad you switched colors. What about trying the deeper engraved/scratched flames, then gold leaf, then royal blue candy?
I purchased gold leaf as an experiment to try on castings. Decided to see if anyone else has thought of this, and of course, here we are. Nice work. Helpful tips.
I really like the red instead of the purple. Sometimes mistakes can lead to better outcomes. Beautiful job. Thanks for the video.
The purple will be missed, but still came out looking nice.
Glad to see you decided to give the gold foil another shot.
Rule of thumb. Always keep your crannies clean!
That red over gold was beautiful..
Looks great. Have you thought about using silver leaf and Spectraflame?
And yet another beautiful car!
I think it would be very cool to see your cars under bright but overcast daylight. Maybe set up the turntable outside and show us a few of them. They all look really good under your studio lights but I suspect they might look even better in daylight.
Regardless, thanks for sharing all these with us!
That came out incredible ! Another trophy winner. 🏆🏆🏆
Wow, that candy brandy wine is a crazy color over that leafing but I did love that purple on the roof, great ideas for painting, Thanks
I'm glad you had to redo it. The second iteration is way better. Beautiful paint.
Pretty wild luster to it. I think you’re right about it having that crushed velvety vibe! I like it man, cool video!
(I wonder what a yellow candy would look like over it? Butterscotch?)
That moment where the gold leaf rips before you even started kinda cracked me up. Beautiful endgame, I love your videos :)
Gorgeous in that red, I can’t wait to see it in a blue over that foil! Great channel Thanks
The second color was a huge win, looks great 👍
I love the effect that that can go leaving had underneath candy color the little imperfections looking such thing and a great effect is turned out awesome I love that car
That layered, crushed-velvety effect is just awesome! So lush!!
You skipped burnishing. No idea what difference it would make on a dye cast, but it makes a huge difference on a frame or something.
Glad you’re back!
Excellent work! Wasn’t sure about the purple but the red is absolutely stunning! Another cool effect would be candy over some turned leaf. Would make for a fun low rider!
Need to see the "Deep Purple" or "Purple Haze"... That treatment would really be P->I->M->P on a 70's Impala!
Love it!!! I gotta get me some goldleaf now...boogey van paint jobs...lowriders...the possibilities are endless
That's gorgeous. Shame about the purple, that was looking good too. Have you got anything bigger coming up? I loved your larger scale stuff
great job Sir...those "grills" on the side are the iconic Buick port holes...Ive been selling Buicks since 1984....those port holes first showed up on the 1948 Roadmaster....they are still showing up on todays Enclave models...
That's a great looking car and would look amazing in any collection.
Id love to see the gold leaf + black, a nice Wu-tang car. But that does look amazing with the candy over it.
Not gonna lie, I’m eagerly waiting for the next wild and crazy low rider. Between this and the etched flame effect, I feel like you’re developing a plethora of visual effects.
I think a fade from the gold into the candy would look good, gold on bottom half... 😀😀😀
Looks stunning! I like the red.
Dang that paint job is fine. More gold leaf please.
The car body and the gold leaf title caught my attention...
6:04 imagine Gold Leafing a(n) actual car 🤨😅
I think a red candy over the gold could produce a really sweet fiery orange potentially
It's got a nice lowrider appeal if you ask me straight Beautiful love it 😀
Really liked the gold leaf all alone. Just clear coated would be Rad!
WHAT???? CRAZY, MAN !!! HOPE I LEARN IT... CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice gold leafing! Nice paint job 👍👍
All my paint jobs are experiments.
I wasn't sure where this was going, but in the end, WOW-WE!! ❤
Wow, amazing results from this experiment! :) In that red, the car looks perfect for a Christmas set! :)
One tip, after you use the make up brush on gold Leaf us a cotton ball to smooth out the gold leaf out, other that it came out great
now this looks like the fancy customs from the 90's, where they smoothed everything out and applied the most interesting paintjobs... instead of a dull basecoat like nowadays. :/
in real this buick would be quite the head-turner for sure. :D
Another amazing job! Can’t wait to see what comes up next!
Maybe something to park next to Jimmy’s Trailer?
That is out of this world! Awesome job!
Some adhesion promoter on top of the leaf would help with the paint adhering to the gold leaf. I didnt think the purple would turn out well because of the gold color underneath I figured it'd take a bunch of coats and get too dark. Figured a red, orange,green, or yellow candy would work best. Looked awesome in the red.
Nice effect. Can't wait to see it with black or charcoal color.
EPIC! Love the result. A swing and a miss followed by a third deck Slam. Hide the keys .... Jimmy will be joy riding that for sure.
Glad to see this worked out so well!
The effect is awesome on a small car. Maybe try this on a bigger scale. Either way, another check in the win column.
Beautiful. SUPER PIMP!!
Holy crap that's gorgeous. Nice job. Can't wait to see your future trials.
both colors looked awesome you should try the purple idea again.
Morning from Japan! Beautiful, the red is the better choice IMHO.
Austin, you've done it again. Simply amazing effect. I think this would look amazing in green, or a blue as well. Maybe orange? I'd be interested to try this with white too.

I think this is an awesome base layer for a low rider paint scheme
Love the idea. I wonder how the purple would look lightly painted, to let more of the gold come though.
This needs to be tested with all of your candy collors :D. Keep 'em comin' !
I’m not usually a big fan of reds but that looks really good.
I can dig it!
You need to try that gold on green, I believe that will be the perfect combination.
Your next project should be nickle plating with candy...That always turns out amazing
hello again. i think if you got hold of some real gold leaf you'd find it more manageable for what you're trying to do. that said, thanks for the entertainment. i really like the quality of your paint work. there are some good builders out there, but your paint work is unmatched.
Extremely cool effect. Was really digging the deep purple. Maybe a cool low rider motif?
One word, beautious!!!
Very cool. Too bad about the paint chipping. That purple would have been incredible. However, the end result was just as stunning. You do fantastic work my friend. Please keep the vids coming.
Hello! Nice work on the paint! Car looks Great!!
It looks like a jewel 💎
1st time I tried that I used clear red candy over the gold, turned out the most beautiful sunburst orange I’ve ever seen. A complete accident for sure but damn it was gorgeous.
Omg that red looks insane!! Can't wait to see what clear coat right over the gold will look like.. please do more of this! 🤩
WOW .....just WOW awesome
I would like to see pink on gold. Like super rose gold 😍🤩...
Purple is opposite of yellow. You need to choose colors contrast wisely.
Fun experiment. Great results!
I was surprised at the very interesting painting method. Great finish! A finish like yours won't be easy to imitate!
If you take some small cotton swabs press and twist on the gold leaf it will put swirls in it and that really pops.
Looks Amazing love the color .
You just continue to surpass yourself all the time. Watching your work evolve is so satisfying.
Congratulations 👏 ,I like when you you keep experimenting with your craft. Looks very good brother
Love how much You keep innovating!
That is just awesome hat red looks like raspberry jam (errr jelly for you guys in the US) looks delicious Ace .... now lm feeling hungry for a raspberry jelly sandwich 🥪 😋
Love see content from fellow Canadian for a change
Amazing. If you use chrome leaf or aluminum leaf it could look like a redline!
Candy transparent Black would really pop that gold leaf!
Lovely!
You never cease to amaze me. That is definitely bad ass .👍👍😎
Looks so sweet
Amazing, I can't wait to see what else comes out of this!
That as stripes will be sick.
Hello in the comments! That paint job looks sick dude! I can't wait to see more of this in the future.
Awesome experiment, came out great. It might be interesting (but probably a massive pain in the ass) to do real gold leaf on the stripes for a GT350H, just a suggestion.
AWESOMENESS !!!!!
Looks good as always! You should try over some fake silver leaf too sometime! Keep it up man!
I think if you use candy pink and do a light coat you could get a cool rose gold effect
Hello my friend cool paint
Amazing effect!!!
I definitely think lighter colours work with the gold better as it has a bright hue to it. With the purple I think maybe a silver leaf would make it shine better
Turned out cool.
Oh my baby jebus that is an amazing paint job! Me Likey!
