    honestly i think the uneveness adds to the effect and the color is wonderful, i'd call it a true forest green since the effect displays all the greens you find in the forest. From the bright green of fresh shoots to the dark blue green of old needle wood.

    Maybe it's hard to tell properly not being next to it but i love it. That green is so vibrant and you get flashes of the blue and yellow coming through, albeit very subtle. 5/5 all the way.

    Honestly, I dig it. It's like a cheaty colorshift. Nine coats (?!) created a really interesting glaze. Laughed out loud at the reveal though, the change from the initial yellow was so striking.
    Glad that you picked a yellow base, because it would not have turned out so good over blue's proper opposite color: orange.

    Honestly I don't see how this is a failure! I expected massively obvious streaks or something weird, but there's none of that. It's softly mottled, maybe, and honestly looks wicked! I love how dark it turned out! I'd be curious to see gold & copper flake, like the silver flake-- over a royal purple with hypershift. I think it would be amazing. Maybe for Mardi Gras?

      @Karl with a K Absolutely agreed. A spraying technique like that and they wonder why they have heavy spots? Give me a break. Also what gun is that? It appears to me that the air supply is a shop vac. Don’t even get me started on the orange peel.

    From the distance the car looks amazing. You can see that it was going to be a beast for even coverage after your first pass. Nothing is a failure, its a teaching moment. How I would rate: Overall color is 5, eveness of color 2, willingness to do crazy stuff...off the scale. Thanks guys as always.

  • @rjkoeller4444
    @rjkoeller4444 Před měsícem

    Spraying a candy color has always been difficult , and yes no matter what the color and no matter what the base if you get blotchy stripes its because you sprayed it wrong , the blotchy effect is caused by not spraying the candy even right from the beginning and no matter how many coats you put on it will never go away . Oh , and you can't spray it with an HVLP spray gun , you need the high air pressure to disperse and atomize the candy color . In the old days we used lacquer and it was much easier , you could thin the lacquer down until it was almost pure lacquer thinner , putting a much thinner coat of candy color on with each coat , the key was to wait long enough between coats so the candy color doesn't get hazy . You can do that with modern urethane paint but it's more difficult and takes more time , it has to be sprayed from a far distance so it goes on dryer but not too dry like sandpaper .

    Next time, try Cherry Red over that Yellow, and you might get color-shifting orange - Flame Orange!!!!

    You can clearly see the texture and the unevenness, but the end result was definitely a cool (borderline '04 Rich) color. Makes me want to pull out the Snap-On paint gun and try something similar on my project! (I have a lot of bodywork to do, and since I'm going down to bare metal I may as well go all the way)

    If I saw this on the street, my first thought would be, "I can NOT believe that someone actually rattle-canned a whole car!" But the green color was surprising and beautiful!I give it a hearty 5 for effort, just for the fact that you went to the extreme of 3 gallons and 9 coats in the hope of making it work! Many thanks for sharing this!

      if you mean rattle can as in spray paint, I've seen many cars in my town that were blatantly full body spray painted. This is significantly better. The quality of this matches a lot of the higher price custom paints in my local area. And the color is a lot nicer too.

      I'm not raging or arguing. I'm having a laugh because I know this doesn't look good compared to their normal quality, but their normal is workmanship p***. Comparing their work to what I see locally is like seeing a master level custom cabinet maker apologize for the wood stain not taking the way they wanted and comparing it to the defective item return department at Ikea.
