Hey a little tip for next time is 1. Paint the panel the base color and let it dry 2. Then spray the clear coat on with a 2 or 3 second drop of the purl mixed into it, and that’s how you’ll get tha r34 color u were going for n don’t add a lot of purl because it will cause crazy orange peal that you’ll have to sand down. Love the vids keep it up
@@whiptheyacht ik bro j he was trying go for the r34 color but u need to 2 stage it for it to purl like that because with one stage it more difficult to get a result like that
It was cool seeing the brand become such a big thing but honestly closing it down has showed a different side of you Randy! I know that was something so meaningful to you and honestly all of us but it’s okay sacrifice something you love to gain more later on. I love seeing the true compassion coming back in you man. Much love❤️
Yo Randy just wanna say I hope your feeling and doing better brotha, that one video you did hit my soul cause I'm going threw the dame $hit. Always been a fan of whay you have done for us and everyone in the community, your a true inspiration to the young kids and wish you the best.. one day we should link up I live near Sacramento and lived in sonoma for a long tim3 so go to infinite race way often. Take care and keep your head up
Randy hitting us with all these bangers of vids lately and I'm here for every min and Randy never stop being you your always positive and In a great mood and your always hilarious and crack me up every time and it's good to see you like that and you slayed it painting the R34 is this the start of Randy illiminate house of body work and paint just saying and the R34 drift car is gonna look sick I can't wait to see it finished and I say 1 week to finish it and as always may illiminate Reign forever and keep up the great work 👍
BEEN HERE FOR ABOUT 8-7 YEARS NOW SHIT CRAZY SHI CHANGED BUT ITS PART OF LIFE BUT ILL NEVER SWITCH UP ON MY FAVORITE TH-camR KICKING IT WITH THE HOMIES AND FUCKING AROUND BE A VIBE
I’m not sure if you guys know this or not but fishing line is a really good way to take of badges and lettering! I keep a roll of fishing line just incase!! ❤ much love! Keep up the amazing content
Randy great vid and is this the start of illiminate house of body work and paint just saying and as always may illiminate reign forever and keep up the great work 👍
Hey Randy im a subscriber I've been watching you're channel for a long time because my relatives are in there in San Jose..I love you're content honestly I've been busy working but I always watch you're vid all time...hope to recognize me. . I've been watching here in the Philippines for a long time..
I think you did a killer job considering your not a painter! The only tip I wanna give is that if you wanted the pearl rather than do a single stage job you should have done a 2 stage and put the pearl in the clear top coat. The pearls are meant to lay inside a clear. Putting them in a solid color base coat all that white pigment ate up and overpowered the pearls. It brought a tear to my eye when ya dumped all that pearl in the white
You can recover from the oppsie pretty easily though, just get some cheap clear and throw it on top with the same pearl in it.... And you could most likely fill your empty pearl bottles with a little bit of that clear, give a shake and dip it back into the gallon and not have to rebuy the pearls! What's stuck to the walls inside the bottles should be more than enough for the whole car if you haven't taken the trash out yet! It's only takes a little bit of pearl for a whole gallon, maybe a tablespoon size amount or 2. Although a whole pint of pearl in a gallon would look pretty sick too I'd imagine 😂
Honestly Randy the channel... the illiminate fam ... all that you do is a great inspiration to all of us ... enjoy life bro enjoy everything to the max .... love the videos 👍
Love your TH-cam channel I love your content I love cars to be exactly I think it's going to take around 5 to 10 days to paint the car You should add a twin-turbo V6 tell a four-door skyline
This year is gonna be a great year for illiminate! The boys are bacc, everybody vibin having a great time, I can see how happy Randy is! Brings bacc the apartment days everybody having a good time! I’m really happy to see this yall! Much love from cambodia!!!!!
PRO TIP IF U ARE NOT DOING BODYWORK YOU CAN JUST SAND WITH P800 SANDPAPER (DA WITH SOFTPAD IS FAST) SCUFF WITH GREY SCOTCH AND PAINT WITH THE SINGLE STAGE. SAVES TIME AND MONEY!!!
I love how Randy just causually said can u remove all the extra gloves and add the employee discount. That was smooth props to the worker. Bless his heart 😂😂😂
Pearl whites are tri coats. You need to shoot a white basecoat then a midcoat of pearl suspended in a binder or clear. Then an additional top coat of clear
This has been your best move yet closing down the website to focus on the vlogs🔥🔥 could you add the tools you used for people wanting to try this like the spray gun🙏 definitely motivated to repaint my car after a shop fucked it up even worse😭
Love the content mate! BUT.... as a spray painter by trade, please tell me you used plastic primer on your plastic parts, and also, why prime everything xD if the paint is decent on your panels, just sand them with 400-600 grit paper and hit it with the single stage :D save money and time by not priming everything
Hey Randy I’m a autozone employee I recommend you make a commercial account because everything is way cheaper with a commercial account. Sometimes even 50% cheaper.
Im not a professional either, but i think pearls will work if u mix it with clear coat same process if you was to do flakes thats probably why they call it 3 stage just going base on videos i watch on youtube as well
I know that it sucks you ended the brand, but I feel like you are actually enjoying making the videos now that you have time to actually make them naturally
Bro your thumbnails and videos be fire 🔥 I don't normally comment but thought you should know I been watching sense day one keep it up bro love your vids
been watching for almost 8 years. may be one of the goats of car youtube tbh
🤣😂
@@artyart31😢
Fukkkk no
Go watch jimmy oakes
This guy a complete 🤡
Same here. I was just a little boy when I first started watching, it’s crazy to see where they’re at now cause you don’t really think about it.
Weren’t you 2 8 years ago 😪
Glad to see you posting videos again, and seeing a glimpse of earlier years shinning through. Have fun man that’s all that matters Randy
lovin how the old and new are mixing together
Hey a little tip for next time is 1. Paint the panel the base color and let it dry 2. Then spray the clear coat on with a 2 or 3 second drop of the purl mixed into it, and that’s how you’ll get tha r34 color u were going for n don’t add a lot of purl because it will cause crazy orange peal that you’ll have to sand down. Love the vids keep it up
Single stage doesnt need clear coat
only reason they did that is because it single stage. the base and clear are mixed and everything is painted in 1 step
pretty sure this guy knows that its a single stage and doesnt need clear coat. He's just stating how to get the the pearl look randy was after
@@maicon_13 ik im just sayin if he wants to get tha purl like the r34 he has to clear coat it and not single stage it
@@whiptheyacht ik bro j he was trying go for the r34 color but u need to 2 stage it for it to purl like that because with one stage it more difficult to get a result like that
Loving the new momentum and changes. Keep up the great work.
I’m sooo happy that you look and sound more happier in creates the old vibe again for sure! Here’s to more and more memories with you Brothers🫶🏽

Don’t mix the pearl with the main color. Spray the main let it flash then spray the pearl as a mid coat 2 coats then clear 👍
love watching your videos bro!
Im not a professional either, but i think pearls will work if u mix it with clear coat same process if you was to do flakes thats probably why they call it 3 stage just going base on videos i watch on youtube as well
I know that it sucks you ended the brand, but I feel like you are actually enjoying making the videos now that you have time to actually make them naturally
I had the same thing in mind when I finally buy paint
