Hey, whats up guys. In this video I will be custom painting a chopper tank with a few different methods. I use a torch to create a fire technique that i later apply a brandywine candy paint over the top then clearcoat to lock it down. Remember if you clearcoat you will need to sand and or scuff with 600 grit in order for the next layers of paint to stick. I also applied a (Clear) waterslide transfer paper and I ran through my ink jet printer to print the design. The white basecoat locks down the ink so its protected once submerged in water to release the backing from the water slide paper. Once applied to the part the ink is trapped between the white basecoat and the waterslide. Be sure all of the water and air bubbles are removed before moving onto clearcoat. When clearing a waterslide decal its important to remember to apply 3-4 really light coats to prevent the edges from floating. I applied silver leaf with sprayable sizing glue from LiME LiNE. The glue dries fast with only 2-5 min dry time before you can start leafing. I you plan on Spinning (engine turning) your leaf like I did here in this video be sure the leaf you are using spins. I have came across allot of other brands that just dont spin the same and have problems with burn throughs. I pinstriped the leaf edges with tape and an airbrush that way the paint lays thin and I know that the clearcoat will not have a reaction because Im using the same basecoat paints all the way through. Clearing over some pinstriping paint can cause separation or other problems if not careful.

    That`s the most "labor intensive" eleven minutes I`ve witnessed in a LONG time ! ARTISTS make Life worth living. Can Do !

    I can’t lie, I was skeptical when I saw “image transfer” on the title. I was thinking it should be hand drawn or airbrushed. After seeing this I was completely blown away!! Absolutely 100% beautiful!! Amazing! The work you put in, sanding between the multiple coats, the colors, the silver leaf, and the way you blended the image. New subscriber here.

    It great to see people are still doing what my father did in the 70's!
  • @coloradodirtbike5930
    Truly amazing. The talent this guy has and passion to produce quality work, his techniques are flawless. Really amazing to still see hand made stuff like this still being done.

    Definetely not my style but... what a masterpiece.
  • @davismillard3822
    Wow!! I’m neither a bike guy or a painter and this is absolutely fantastic. I used to paint electric guitar bodies so I knew that end reveal was going to be popping!!! Fantastic.
  • @Ichabod_Jericho
    You are remarkably talented with that tape. Eyeballing a perfect line without a crinkle! Mark of a master
  • @johnemmons9087
    Looks really really cool. I absolutely love the subject. It’s an incredible image. I’ve sprayed 1000’s of gallons of laquer commercialy but never had the opportunity to do something like this. Great job and thank you

    I saw this bike at a show in Phoenix a couple weeks ago! It was a lot of people's favorite! Definitely mine!

    Never painted a thing since like 1986; got a milk can I wanna pant with a decal of my favorite hubby's photo on it. Watched this video and now i have ideas but am so lost on how to even begin. But thank you for giving me the want to do it.

    I've used them temp. "Tattoos"....... Just put'em on over dry paint the usual way w/water....& let it dry then put clear lac. over it....The cheap buck store ones work great.
  • @theboyisso6960
    The original art work is called “The Triumph of Christ” by artist Gustave Dore from the year 1868. Which is what makes it more awesome looking at it on a modern machine using modern technology!

    Always watch these videos to the end. Novices like myself see the stages and think, that's going to look like crap, simply because I can't see the finished product in my mind. This isn't just a painter, this is an artist. Very well done!
  • @royronnie259
    It's amazing how all the components and detail become the final product. All those steps. You really have to be an artist. The finished job is spectacular.

    Красивая работа,приятно глядеть👍
  • @mortenhansen3455
    Awesome work. I have a suggestion for you. In the world of glass gilding you can get a mirror shine from silver/gold leaf, by smooth and high glossing the area you are going to gild. And then apply the silver/gold, not with glue. But with gelatin dissolved in hot water. Using that as your adhesive when drying, the gelatin will stretch out the silver/gold to an almost perfect mirror shine. Thought it could look cool on a tank as well. Be aware that it won't stick good as when using glue, so maybe a bunch of clear coat and a sanding could cover it nicely? You surely know that better than me. Any how, just a suggestion. Still awesome work!

    Honestly you’re a genius, the videos are amazing. They’re easy to follow because your explanations are incredible. And even if you’re not trying to paint, you can just binge watch the videos they’re so good.
