Excellent. No need to thin or clear afterwards as you are using a clear to paint with. Also no need for thinning or activators/hardeners Thanks for watching
Me too was a little late so watched it again top idea Pete. I'm the speed up bots it looked like you were drinking it thru a mini straw😂🤣. Can wait to see you use some on a custom and see what it turns out like. At least you didn't end up with it all over your mouth😂🤣. Great video Pete.👍🇦🇺✌
Awesome!!! I can't buy spectra flame paint where I live in England so this video helps me a lot to achieve what I need & want.- thank you very much... a great video informative.
Absolutely my pleasure. Now with that said, all the colors do not come out true. Like red. It comes out more magenta. And black on the purple side. But you can remedy that by mixing the colors to get the desired color. The other colors have come out true. Just not the red and black. Thanks for watching
112th thumbs up brother definitely a huge tip and thanks for sharing it with us this is going to save me money and definitely appreciated and have a great day brother 👍👊😎
My pleasure. That is the whole point of the video. the color was discovered by accident. Thought it was going to be red. But nope.....Now I can tint it with kust a drop or two of black and it will get there. but if you want a red you have to use the "bold" color ink pens. Thanks for watching
My pleasure. but always test spray before using. To make sure the tint is what you want. And I recommend using the BOLD color pens. They are much darker. Thanks for watching
So glad you shared this Pete!! I’m working on the process right now, u da man!! 💪💪 Gonna be sending something your way one of these days to thank you for the HUGE MONEY SAVER!! 👊👊😎
Much appreciated my man! I just made my own spectra flame paint, thanks to your video! I also tried a couple colors out and they came out amazing!!! I do have just one question. Does it have to be the spray polyurethane, or can I get a quart can and use that?
My pleasure. I recommend spraying on spoons though. AS some colors are not 100% accurate. Like the red comes out magenta. Normally a drop or two of the black will work just fine to darken it up to a red. It will work with any clear. When I first started I used it out of a spray can as that is already thinned. If you use anything else you will have to thin it to get it to go through your airbrush. Thanks for watching
@@OldManDiecast oh ok! Yeah I wondered what the difference was. Thanks for the advice on the red, haven’t tried that one yet, but the two I did try was orange and purple. Orange was nice, the purple however, was beyond perfect. I’m still blown away by 1. How easy it was 2. How much paint I was able to get out of a single can. Anyways, thanks again!
watched twice but dang kids won't be quiet lol. poly gloss clear and pens sweet. so do u need clear again after painting and is it airbrush ready. haven't tried my airbrush yet but this sure give me a reason to stop procrastinating lol. this is an awesome vid thx for the tips for us that have lower budgets
No problem......I am on a budget so that is why I pass these on. No thinning. Airbrush ready. First coat will look like there is nothing there. Except the metal will no longer be shiny . Then just build up until you get the look you want. You can use any clear but I would stick with a polyurethane for quality and long lasting. Rustoleum makes a super clear one call triple thick glaze.......Looks like water it is so clear. No need to clear over after wards. You could run the risk of having the color kind of turn into a matte finish because of the layering ........Thanks for watching
@@DiecastFantasyland It depends on the paint. Water based paints water or 90-91% alcohol. Enamels most will clean with mineral spirits. All others Lacquer thinner....Of course each paint company sells their own. SO when in doubt get theirs. Anything that thins , cleans
I want to see the paint result in the diecast! Nice tip and trick!!
Absolutely...Have done 2 already. Videos will be forthcoming. Thanks for watching
@@OldManDiecast what video shows you using that paint thanks slot

Red paint has more pigment than other colors, it is heavier, and it also fades faster than other colors
It also sprays out a lighter hue. Almost magenta. Thanks for watching
Great job..!!!👍😊
Thanks buddy! Thanks for watching
Awesome video old man
Thanks! Thanks for watching
Interesting. Imma try to do this
Excellent. Super easy to do. No need to clear over as you are painting with a clear. Thanks for watching

Nice vídeo my friend
Thanks for the visit Thanks for watching
What up man nice tips I have to tryout and see what happens 😎😏💣🙏💪✌
Give it a try....I probably would not clear it afterwards as you are using a clear to paint. It might haze up??? Don't know. Thanks for watching
Nice work done here.... Have you made any video trying them on Hotwheels? Can't find any but only the one with gel ink....
Thank you very much. As far as spraying? No sir. I did use it on this one however th-cam.com/video/nuRVg5lV-zM/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching
The REDLINE Shop has all the Hot Wheels Spectraflame colors and they’re pretty cheap!
Yes sir......$8 an ounce. I have like $8 in mine and a bunch of ounces. Plus don't have to buy hardener and add it. Thanks for watching
Legit, the first thing he said lol

Correct. no thinning, no hadeners. No clear afterwards as you are painting with a clear.........Thanks for watching

@@OldManDiecast What’s the best thing to clean out the airbrush afterwards? I’m going to start dabbling with one in the future!

What does it mean whenever it becomes bumpy or rough to 5he touch
The paint? Either the body was not clean or the paint was not mixed up thoroughly..... May need to try straining the paint. Thanks for watching
@@OldManDiecast yes the paint 1st and 2nd coat was fine then coats after become bumpy and rough to the touch and a bubbly outlook
@@roc706 Maybe the ink and clear had started separating by that time. How long between coats?
15-20 mins how long should I be between coats
@@roc706 I normally wait about 15 to 30 seconds. just enough time for the clear to flash....
Where do you buy the empty viles
I get mine and the Dollar Tree. Thanks for watching
@@OldManDiecast you should make a tiktok
I tried this recently and all the paint in the glass jars clumped up
Sorry to hear that. You have to shake them .......Thanks for watching
