Are you the future making some content about the mix ratios?
Great job
Thanks I appreciate you watching!!
@@TimeWarpCustomPaint My friend, I invite you to my youtube channel
I'm building a motorized bicycle. I hate the tanks that come with the kits so I've purchased a minibike gas tank. I'm worried the tank will look a bit too large for the bike. Any suggestions on painting to make something appear smaller? There is tons of information online to make a room appear bigger with painting techniques but what techniques make something appear smaller?
Just now finding your channel and content and you have influenced me to try painting my fxd. Have a few questions though, paint is chipped off in a few spots and you can see surface rust. Should I strip it to bare metal or hit with 600 grit and paint over it all. I believe it’s factory paint
Ughh 1st time trying to paint .. I went through a couple spots on my primer .. so I decided to use the spray can in your link for touch ups .. after resanding I hit it with the wax decreaser and the can primer gummed up .. super bummed.. had to resand basically start over
Where is the link to store? I also wanted to find the stencil plotter you talked about. Don't see on amazon.
Thanks for the video! If my tank has no rust and dent and I just want to remove the paint, do I need 180 grit? Do I need to sand down to the metal?
Sand with 600 grit
Im about to paint pretty much the same frisco style tank, was just wondering did you fill/sanded the welds because of looks or is there an actual technical reason that it should be done? Would save me some work since the tank is otherwise brand new and presanded, and i kinda like the look of the welds.
I personally do not sand or grind down the welds. Especially on a fuel tank that can cause fuel leakage.
First, Thank you for all of your amazing and informative videos. Quick question about primer. I plan to use my gun to lay the base and clear down, but was going to rattle can the primer on. I bought the primer (SEM 42013 Grey High Build Primer) you had on your Amazon link. My question is, can I spray this directly on bare metal, or do I have to put a coat or two of self-etching primer?
Your best off to use a 2k primer if your painting complete parts. The speedo kote brand primer is the way to go
@@TimeWarpCustomPaint Thanks! Although, I don't think they will ship to California. :/
Question regarding your choice of sanding wet vs dry. Do you wet sand because it cuts down on dust? Do you wet sand to extend the life of the paper?
Dry and wet sander, when you see a can of water that he sanding wet. Yeah he forgot type it detail, i have the same question like you.mate regards 😃👍
yes and yes. but dry sanding works too.
When you use the speedo kote primer do you use the speedo kote activator or just reducer? Thanks in advance.
Both
Where can i get those plastic gas cap plugs?
Hey Adam quick question, I have a set of tins that are base coated…what’s the best thing to do before flake? Wet sand or scuff with red scoring pad?
Thanking you and great videos man!!
yes, I use the LiME LiNE 600 sanding sponges
Hi, i enjoy your content and work. And you have inspired me to want to try out airbrushing. I want to repaint/airbrush my gastank and fenders. Do you recomend removing all paint to bare metal first? Or can i sand, fix dents, sand and Prime. And go from there? In your "how to fix dent and..." video. You don't prime the whole tank after sanding? Only the putty? Then sand and basecoat?
If its factory paint then your okay to leave it. just sand it smooth with 600 grit
@@TimeWarpCustomPaint Thank you very much for taking the time to answer:) Have a great summer.
When you’re using the spray gun are you pulling the trigger all the way down or is it more of a half spray?
all the way
Can you do a video on removing the paint from a tank and prepping for repaint?
Nvm. I just caught your video on how to achieve an aged look in paint.
Thanks for watching
Should I prime and sand the underside of tanks and fenders? Thanks
Yes for sure.
Show 👏👏👏👏
How well do you like that speedo kote primer? I use their bases and really like them and have decided to try out the primer when I get low on the Tamco that I’m currently using.
I love speedo-kote. Your right the base coat has great coverage. I’ve been using this primer for years with not one issue. My amazon link in the description will take you right to it. 🙏
@@TimeWarpCustomPaint that’s awesome! Thank you! I really like these videos, I’ve been doing this stuff for years off and on, but never really gotten into it like now. Even though I’m somewhat experienced I still catch a lot of good stuff from these! Thank you!
Great job 👍👍👍
Its is good inspiration to me thanku so much
Dude, where can I find those plastic gas caps?
Very nice video. What is the rational of the glass cleaner?
Cleans off the sanding residue
How long do you wait before putting on the black guide paint and wet sanding?
About 10 hours or so
Do you seal the inside of new gas tanks? I’ve been told not to bother due potential flaking. I also found a product called Red Kote, and hear that it doesn’t flake.
I also try to stay away from sealing the inside of tanks for that same reason
@@TimeWarpCustomPaint that’s what I figured. Haha I’m just going to skip that step and keep it topped off in the garage 👍🏼
Adam, Where did you get that plastic cap to mask off the gas cap? That’s cool
It came with the tank
Can you use acetone to dewax degrease and to use instead of glass cleaner?
no not really
Nice work. So you only sand with the 180 then prime?
That is correct
Adam shouldn't i be using an epoxy primer over bare metal then high build after?
the primer that I'm using is direct to metal. Using epoxy primer then high build is also a great way and super durable. The epoxy gives it an extra layer of corrosion protection.
What grit sand paper do i use after the degreasing at the beggininh
80 grit
Didn't mention what grits you were using
What sander and what pads are you using at the beginning?
LiME LiNE
I painted my honda z50 gas tank. The gas tank has a massive airbubble in it now. Its been like 6 yrs though. I just noticed it now. Why do you think this happened? Bad prep?
Probably fuel seepage
Do you have a recommendation for the inside of the filler neck? Paint always deliminates under the gas cap because of fuel or fuel vapor. How do you avoid this? Suggestions from anyone welcome. Thank you
tape it up
Same question. And problems with that area
Paint jb weld around the filler neck on the inside with a paintbrush at the edge of the paint. Helps from delaminating
@@bobbyscott1919 do you do that after the pain job is done?
Yo dude have you had any paint lift problems with this process. I was lifting tape and it took out my paint to bare metal .
What primer did you use?
@@TimeWarpCustomPaint i used a nason 2k primer i believe reduced with 311
Why not sprayable polyester first? Acrylic/urethane primers shrink and 4 layers will take a lot of time to contract, even with IR.
No Need for that.
Might be time for a new interface pad.
Thanks for not doing a lot of talking. Brevity
No problem thanks for watching
What about a tank that has paint already on it and you want to change it completely
clean and sand with 600 grit
Does it matter what glass cleaner to use?
Just no fragrance
Lol sent you an email bout tanks. Just be a hint.
I love your channel! I came across your channel and was interested. Thought I'd show some love 🧡 I also have a channel too. If you could take a look that would be great! 💕
