thank you for the enjoyment you give by watching you we were poor growing up and now that i'm 60 ons.s. i'm still poor but i'm trying to keep up with all the new stuff i do have a limit i can go but man i do enjoyment
The fact Gravity colors carries older Chrysler colors like Panther Pink (Moulon Rouge early) and Sassy Grass (Go-Green for the noobs) was a huge selling point for me. I use mostly Alclad laquers and am pretty sure their primers are compatible (I'll have to test this because Candies need special basing to come out right and Alclad has the top tools for that). Totally studied these Gravity colors and will be ordering a batch for my upcoming (Dodge) builds. Great video and thanks again Old Man!
Hi Donn! Great video! Thanks for doing this! Please also try/test the new batch of paints I sent you, the ones that come in plastic bottles. Those paints come with new self leveling thinner, they flow better and lay down nicer then the one you just tested.
I total get family, it nice to see where your priorities really are. Which shows me its not just about making money. I'm glad to hear you are coming back. Your abilities are shown is what you have put on the table for us to look at. I want to learn how to build that way. I am a ok builder and want to push myself a little harder. I don't have a problem with paying for value added training. The great thing about America is, if I'm not happy I can cancel the subscription, say "thank you, but this is not what I expected" and move on. But I know from the products that I have all ready received from "Lone Wolf Custom Painting" there will not be any issues. I am a visual learner, and having over the shoulder access to a incredible builder will be money well spent. BRING THE HEAT DONN!!! Seeing a size 10 shoe in the mouths of naysayers will make for great video too. Dan
+Dan Anderson Lol ! If I could only bury that size ten , my friend ! I am not going anywhere , believe me . I do have other responsibilities , most of which , I have to handle myself ... The misinformation , while small in size , is aggravating at best . Few realize that TH-cam takes 55% of your net right off the top . I am not arrogant either , I am pissed off at these clowns . They've mistaken my anger for arrogance . I have quickly come to the conclusion that subtlety , analogies , metaphors , & sarcasm are lost on this crowd . It has been stated that there is no room in this community for someone such as myself ( TH-cam ) . What they fail to realize ? I have been on the Tube for over 10 years now ... The tips video has nearly 900,000 hits , the airbrush , over half a million . That happen over night ? I'm here to stay , brother . We have over a year's worth of video shot already ..... I am not going to waste it , believe me !
keep up the good job jake i wish i had your job i love to be around mr yost hes very good at what he dose i would love to learn what he has for gotten over the years if he had's
your great at every thank you do i wish i could do the thanks you do keep up the great stuff you do your just like my shop teacher i had in 8th grade he was a great man and you are to thank you for hard work
Hey Donn, Chris here..........I've been following your steps in recent months & I bought your DVD's a few months back.........great stuff. Just curious,...... with lacquers, I noticed towards the end of this video U mentioned the kit will be wet sanded after the color coat before it's cleared. what grits are U wet sanding the painted body at? I'm guessing from 2,400 up 2 12,000 as well but I don't want 2 assume anything. I want 2 follow your method when I spray lacquers......thanks again Donn.......be well!!!!
Donn, it’s October 2018 I just watched this first video where you premiered and painted yellow gravity paint. Then you said in the video you would come back Friday and clear it and let us know what you thought about the gravity paint. I didn’t see the 2nd episode of the gravity paint. What do you think about Gravity paint?? I’m just staring to get back in the hobby and want to stock up on a few paint so I can start building. Should I buy Gravity paint or model master enamel paints??? Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you!!
When you're painting a car Canary Yellow , is white or silver a better base coat & what grit sandpaper did you say you used on this base coat to get it smooth ?
Can you spray these indoors such as a bedroom converted into a Hobby room. If you have a Paint booth set up. I have one of those desk top portable set ups.
Carleton LeGrant I believe this would depend on how many rpms that your fan generates when it comes to removing vapor and odor from your paint booth ......
Gravity Colors, USA is beyond terrible. They don't answer emails and take forever to send anything out. Won't buy from them ever again. I have, however, only heard great things about Gravity Colors in Spain. Faster turn-around time (can get paint shipped to California within a week, including processing time). Sad when you get product from Europe faster than you can from Florida.
+Para Scale Modeling I purchased mine at Bed Bath & Beyond .... Most large retailers carry them , you just need to cut the guts out of several of the layers to allow for more room .
Hi Donn have you tried Zero Pains yet, i use them all the time and have had great results,, i don`t do shows so i don`t know how well they would so and at my age (72) i probably won`t do shows, oh and you HAVE to use primers with them, Gravity colors are a new on on me so i`ll stick with Zero paints, cheers, Rodger Cox
Hey Michael, as you know, the lacquers do dry fast. This was done as more of a test to see if you could speed up the drying so one could handle the body quicker without any damage done to the paint. For example, some clubs do 24hr or 48hr builds, and so by using lacquers and a dehydrator you could handle the body and parts sooner. -Jake
I have a question for ya donn, whats the point of spraying a little bit on the newspaper when you added more paint? Does it help with tipdry or is it just a habit or what?
+Josh Hulboy Josh , you clear any droplets out to avoid spitting when you hit the button to begin spraying . Also , this allows you to see what your spray pattern is and you can adjust it accordingly .
Hi do you count your coats; I have trouble on making my hood match when I paint it off the car even out of same bottle of paint. Love your vids I'm a 65 year old who try's to come close to building a decent model car . hello from oklahoma
+Garydlrx7 Thirty I do ... I shoot a couple of mist coats on the body , then the hood , the valances , etc . Then I repeat the same procedure over and over again until I have a uniform color , smoothness , and shine to all of the painted parts . Check out my website at oldmansmodels.com , it might help you out . Thank you for your interest , feel free to contact me anytime . Hello from the 'Burgh !
Hey Donn where are you are you coming back lets get this started forget the haters your better then that so get your ass off the ground and lets start the videos again . I would like to see that moebius in the clear coat cheers
+jamie Garvin Lmao ! Haters have nothing to do with the delay .... It's called full time employment , family , other projects , etc ... Besides , the camera man is now full time employed .... We are finishing up the weathered project on Sunday ..... One man bands have their drawbacks ..... This is one of them ....
yes of course Family first , Full time job Congrats to Jake on his new job I'm glad to hear you are coming back and I was joking around about you getting your ass off the ground lmao
So is it ok if I ask what Dehydrator do you use and what lvl of heat do you set it at? Would you recommend a Dehydrator as part of the painting process? Keep up the great work man :)
As far as I’m concerned Gravity Colors does not exist. I placed a fairly large order a year or so ago. I never got my order. I never got a response to any of my emails. All I got was $85 charged to my credit card. I got an email from them a couple of months ago. Something about someone bad mouthing them on the net. I sent another email asking for my stuff(what I really want) or my money. No response. As far as I’m concerned they’re rip-off artists and need a visit from the Federal Trade Commission and the Postal Inspectors.
I’m counting 4 passes per second. Left right, left right. That right? Your work speaks for itself Old Man 👍
thank you for the enjoyment you give by watching you we were poor growing up and now that i'm 60 ons.s. i'm still poor but i'm trying to keep up with all the new stuff i do have a limit i can go but man i do enjoyment

Very zen watching you paint. Love that color. I had a 70' Mustang in that type of yellow.
i like the fact that these videos are raw rarely any cuts and not much editing just keeping it a buck 💪🏽💪🏽
Super informative, and yes sir you have brought my passion for the hobby that I use to enjoy so well .. keep it going sir.
Donn you the man I love your tutorials. Very in depth explanation of all that goes into your work.
Hi Donn! Great video! Thanks for doing this! Please also try/test the new batch of paints I sent you, the ones that come in plastic bottles. Those paints come with new self leveling thinner, they flow better and lay down nicer then the one you just tested.
Amazing video donn thank you for the tips and free lesson.

Hey Donn, thanks for all the videos! Really enjoyed this one, I would like to try Gravity Colors.
Hi nice video ! Where can we hear more about the myth to sand coarse for the paint has something to stick to ? Thanks !
Hey Donn, Chris here..........I've been following your steps in recent months & I bought your DVD's a few months back.........great stuff.

Are you going to show the Gravity gloss clear being sprayed on in the next video?
+Michael Scarola Yes , we are . Have a few other matters that need to be taken care of in the shop before this happens .....
Wow so glad I found this, the man himself! Subbed straight away!
Donn, it’s October 2018 I just watched this first video where you premiered and painted yellow gravity paint.

Nice
When you're painting a car Canary Yellow , is white or silver a better base coat & what grit sandpaper did you say you used on this base coat to get it smooth ?
White would be best . I take my bodies all the way up to 12000 before painting begins .
Your the only other person I've seen who smokes mavericks.
Can you spray these indoors such as a bedroom converted into a Hobby room. If you have a Paint booth set up. I have one of those desk top portable set ups.
Carleton LeGrant I believe this would depend on how many rpms that your fan generates when it comes to removing vapor and odor from your paint booth ......
What's a good PSI setting when paint a 1:64 model with Gravity paints?
mustang matt 20 - 25 psi
Gravity Colors, USA is beyond terrible. They don't answer emails and take forever to send anything out. Won't buy from them ever again.
I have, however, only heard great things about Gravity Colors in Spain. Faster turn-around time (can get paint shipped to California within a week, including processing time). Sad when you get product from Europe faster than you can from Florida.
I have had horrible experience with GC US as well. I'm amazed they are even still in business with how great GC Spain is.
thanks for all you do don you are awesome just got back into modeling. What air pressure do you use
Shane Dockery 32 psi .
Noisy room, but i like your work..! Would new more silent compressor be nice?
Which food dehydrator do you use? Having a hard time finding one with some depth. Cheers
+Para Scale Modeling I purchased mine at Bed Bath & Beyond .... Most large retailers carry them , you just need to cut the guts out of several of the layers to allow for more room .
love your work Donn do you ever use acrylics like Vallejo and Tamiya and if so do you mix the same ratio
Hi Donn have you tried Zero Pains yet, i use them all the time and have had great results,, i don`t do shows so i don`t know how well they would so and at my age (72) i probably won`t do shows, oh and you HAVE to use primers with them, Gravity colors are a new on on me so i`ll stick with Zero paints, cheers, Rodger Cox
by the way i live in the UK but i expect you realise that
Fantastic video !!! At what temperature you normally use the dehydrator ?
John Papa 105 degrees .....
lokin really good cuestion I have a small dealing gune can I use it insted of the air brush tank's
I'm new to Gravity paints and I don't even know why you use a dehumidifier. Is this step necessary?
Hey Michael, as you know, the lacquers do dry fast. This was done as more of a test to see if you could speed up the drying so one could handle the body quicker without any damage done to the paint. For example, some clubs do 24hr or 48hr builds, and so by using lacquers and a dehydrator you could handle the body and parts sooner.
-Jake
Great video as usual. Do you use any particular type or brand of primer....?

Will you be using the Gravity 2K Urethane Gloss Clear on this Comet?
+Michael Scarola Yes , sir !
hey what are those things called that you mount your bodys on to paint them and where can i get them at thanks
+Adam Parker Adam they are pipe nipples , 3/4 diameter by 6 in. long . Available at any plumbing supply , hardware store , etc ....
I have a question for ya donn, whats the point of spraying a little bit on the newspaper when you added more paint? Does it help with tipdry or is it just a habit or what?
+Josh Hulboy Josh , you clear any droplets out to avoid spitting when you hit the button to begin spraying . Also , this allows you to see what your spray pattern is and you can adjust it accordingly .
is the dehydrator just a food dehydrator or something else? can ya give me some more info on it? thanks
+GrumpyKits regular old food dehydrator ... I bought mine at Bed Bath & Beyond . Be sure it has a thermostat on it !
what air pressure are you using with gravity paints...
grumpyhemi 32 psi . It lays down smooth .....
Do you wet sand the pistol before clear?
+Samuel Vasquez Yes , sir !
Is gravity colors still around the link seems to be dead
It seems that the company is suffering problems on a large scale . I do not know the specifics .
lacquers rule...................lol
+showtime studios Riiiight ! Always gotta be one in the bunch .... Lol !
Doesn’t he look like Burt Reynolds in Burt’s older years ?
😑. 😂

+adam clark Due to the thinness of the mix , I believe I shot at either 20 or 25 psi rather than my normal 32 psi .......

There are 2 operations with the gravity colours name. The guy running the usa website is a fraud. The paint from Spain is perfect.
