When my son was little, I got him a battery powered motorcycle, that really looked real. A friend of mine was a custom painter. He painted the tank on it black, then used some stencils to airbrush red skulls on it, then shot gold metal flake over it. Then he taped off a flame pattern and sprayed branydywine over the rest. It was awesome. It was bandywine metal flake with gold metal flake flames with ghost skulls that showed up at certain angles. That was the coolest thing a boy could have gotten for his 4th birthday. He also got a motorcycle jacket with a Harley patch on it.
Pay my truck mine C1 yeah, I like this truck better super new new new truck, different color Jerry color thank you buddy 13:08 I need to blocked first and C1 cherry color red
Well, after 5 months.. It's due for another paintjob! I don't have many basecoats to mix, but i have some pearls and a gallon of clear. That should do the trick
Hey I have a question. Everytime I spray over a rattle can paint with regular automotive paint it cracks and the rattle can paint below it. What am I doing wrong because I see yours didn't do that ?? Any info would be greatly appreciated lol
I did a guitar that was very interesting. Rattle can gold base, Rustoleum gold glitter, then I started with that Duplicolor Paint Shop Clear Coat that you get from Auto Zone. I then got some Voodoo Violet candy concentrate off eBay, and mixed it into some of the clear, and shot it over the gold glitter. It turned out amazing! The most difficult part of the whole thing was finding a combination of paints that didn’t react with each other, but it was a novice way to achieve a seriously cool old school, low rider/chopper/hot rod style look without anything more intensive than a $15 Harbor Freight spray gun.
I love this series. Your videos are what inspired me to paint my car initially and I was really impressed with how well it worked out. Now I think I wanna do it again lol keep up the great work!!
Thats the classic combination. Usually it's sprayed over gold because that gives it the warm glow. I think it would be a bit flat over a solid color like grey primer. Good experiment, thanks agin GT these ongoing combinations are a great resource.
the mazda 46v candy red uses a pink-orange metallic base and red candy, my personal favorite is using an orange-bronze metallic base with pink candy on top… same candy red look, just better.
Hi new SUB, Have you considered doing some video on the RUSTOLEUM spray Glitter? I do guitars, and this glitter under candy is a poor man’s flake, with tons of possibilities! 🤘🏻
To me on video the red candy over the gold has a very very minor darker shade, but has a more deeper warmer tone to it. Over the silver it has more od a flatter washed out tone to it. Best way for me to describe it would be. If you painted the fender one uniform candy red, taped off the left side and left it out in the sun for several months and the right side faded slightly.
We had a red tri-coat we used on the challenger at the factory, the red base coat had the metallic in it, the second coat was like a candy, then clear. Thanks for all the experimenting you do.
You are doing a great job with the colors and pearls. I’m thinking of a bronze copper can you help me. That’s the original color of the car it’s a 71 Chevelle. PS. Help Please. Thxs. Keep up the amazing work,and can’t wait for your car next.😊
My friend had a 69 Chevelle it was a rust bucket he made it into a nice looking bondo buggy. He did paint it candy apple Red with a lot of metal flake . As much of a bondo buggy it was I Loved that color on that car. His story was a bus pulled out in front of him, scrap after 6 years of work and lots of bondo and paint.
Very cool video. Honestly, I know painting is more involved, but you took the fear out of trying small projects and getting bitchin results. Thank you, sir!
Looks a little bright for brandy wine. Maybe it’s the camera. The part you did with the black base is closer to what I’m used to seeing first Brandy Wine.
i liked this video that red looks amazing. if i could make a suggestion try recording on pro mode and turn down the exposure to see if maybe it catches the colors closer to what you see. nice video though!!! big props!!
Interesting experiment, ... if a much greater candy / sparkle effect is required, use a very large grain of silver basecoat ... the candy really "pops" then.
This may seem strange to you but I can see the differance in the base coats! I can tell the differance! The Gold side is much deeper and rich looking than the Silver! The Gold is the better under coat!
5:49 I saw a body shop video where they were painting in that color on a Mazda and they used a gold base coat and a red (I think it was ruby red) candy coat.
So doing the math, if your using 1 gram per 5oz, you'd use 6.4 grams per quart? So a 25 gram jar would mix with a sprayable gallon? Got 5 grams of Zen garden, 25 grams Monitor lizard, 5 grams sushi roll on the way. Taping off as I wait. Excited for something new! Curious about the black pigments I saw on there site, and how they do over colors and White.
I see you're into tattoos. Fun fact: The highest quality tattoo inks used to come from King Cobra blood. In India, it's cooked down and filtered (distilled) for permanent inks.
Could you possibly do a neon yellow/high viz yellow like the school crossing sings with a yellow/lime colored pearl? It's My favorite color thinking about painting my motorcycle that color would love to see it with a pearl.
I sprayed a green candy a very long time ago and it permanently stained the cup on my cheap harbor freight gun. I even cleaned it out right away with acetone.
Everything was going great but you should have added some clear to the candy red so it would be more transparent. Try it again I was real interested in a transparent red over the gold and silver. I went back to the first coat that is how it should look when finished. The gold side was a vibrant red that I ❤. Silver side kinda dull. Should have stopped right there
I would try the gold metal flake. In the clear. And use just a very little. So the car would look red. But in the sun have a gold shimmer. Or like a ghost gold effect.. the ghost red over black is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It was near impossible in the video to tell if it came out different from side to side. That said, it wasn't hard to see where the transition was. I've always thought that if I were to paint my car after priming it with light gray primer, it would look different than if I used the brown primer. This confirms for me the difference would be there, even if it's subtle. Thanks!
Id like to see how it works with that chrome as a base, it’s supposed to be chrome but only thing chrome is the cap but once it dries it makes an awesome silver color, I really think it’d give you the depth that candy is supposed to show 👍🏼
Red is a color that has very dense pigment concentration, which yields great color saturation. Thank you for sharing your skills and expertise. Larry Landis
I appreciate all your content. Time to keep pushin. Next project. Im tuned in. I had a feeling you had something special comin up. Can't wait to see this new paint job.

Good to have friends like that,isn’t it?

The red paint Mazda uses is by far my favorite red paint color ever.
Agree 100%
Same here
Soul Red Crystal
That red looks so deep you could almost swim in it 😂
Well, after 5 months.. It's due for another paintjob!

Is that just a practice fender..??
When spraying your clear coat was your fan pattern wide open also what was your pressure set at
I love this series. Your videos are what inspired me to paint my car initially and I was really impressed with how well it worked out. Now I think I wanna do it again lol keep up the great work!!
You should paint and hang a bunch of car parts in your shop. You can see all your work and get new ideas.
Can you do the black cherry pearl over a tan base do a sample on the fender
Been thinking bout doing my s10 2 tone using white with a pearl and like orange with some orange Pearl kinda like the lambo orange
That would look sweet
What about candy with a filer with the pearl together to see what it looks like.
Thats the classic combination. Usually it's sprayed over gold because that gives it the warm glow. I think it would be a bit flat over a solid color like grey primer. Good experiment, thanks agin GT these ongoing combinations are a great resource.
Love to see ghost flames .
the mazda 46v candy red uses a pink-orange metallic base and red candy, my personal favorite is using an orange-bronze metallic base with pink candy on top… same candy red look, just better.
the red pearl over black looks like a root beer brown on camera
I agree. The Ghost Red over the black is a root beer brown color. I would like see a bigger sample of the Ghost Red over black.
My brother-in-law has a 2023 Miata MX5 in Soul Red Crystal Metallic. AMAZING color!
That section of black with the candy.... its almost like Buicks chocolate... very pretty
I had a ‘76 Harley painted candy brandy wine. It was a beautiful color that got a lot of looks.

holy hell youtube...these adds are going to destroy this platform in a week.... 8 min of un-skipable un-mutable ads before each video.....

Bro you Amigo arr a true Artist…+Scientist and Magician 😎😎👌👌👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Amazing work Firme’

Yes you can tell the difference, gold darker, silver lighter!🤷🏽♂️
Interesting experiment, ... if a much greater candy / sparkle effect is required, use a very large grain of silver basecoat ... the candy really "pops" then.
You would have better results in this experiment if you would have thinned the candy and sprayed light coats.
This may seem strange to you but I can see the differance in the base coats!
I can tell the differance! The Gold side is much deeper and rich looking than the Silver!
The Gold is the better under coat!
Ruri looked awesome. I did a fender with it and sushi roll. Sushi roll is a lot of green. Ruri starts blue and changes to purples
Awesome support from
New Zealand 🇳🇿 and
Cook Islands 🇨🇰
we paint a lot of brandywine in Texas...SS HOUSTON,TX
I am thinking of blue pearl over black rapture liner on my jeep. What results you think I'll get
The gold side is a darker and richer looking than the silver. I can see the differance just looking at it on You Tube.
I almost found out the expensive way the primer color makes a difference
Can you try something close to Jade green pearl over white base. Thanks
You’re not gonna get a different effect with a basecoat, you should use candy concentrate then the difference is night and day
I agree. A true candy is mostly toner and very little pigment, and you will see a difference between the two colors of base. Love this channel, btw!
You would tell the difference out in the sun... Those lights are okay in a pinch, but they cannot come close to how the sun allows you to see.
How long after you put on the Rustoleum paint do you do the clear coat, and do you only do 1 coat or Rustoleum?
That blood red paint was cool. I wish I could have you do that on my 81 Eldorado.
5:49 I saw a body shop video where they were painting in that color on a Mazda and they used a gold base coat and a red (I think it was ruby red) candy coat.
I have just started watching you videos. What size is the spoon you use to add your pearl to the clear test fenders?
Great video like always. Could you do a video of emerald green with some kind eye candy sprayed on it?
Sorry but candy didn't work for me, you can't fake the real candy
I'd really like to see the ghost gold put over a black and white split panel like you did here.
What can you do with Dupli color deep due , paint shop. Per mixed
What if you add crushed glass to the mix? Actual glass.
Pink or candy ghost over silver if there’s such a thing!
I got it. Gold Pearl over the Gold Metalic. Would it look like gold metal?
Thank you so much for doing all these test with spray paint I’m learning a lot.
you should have painted the pearl first then the candy and then plain clear
I'd be adding some black candy to darken it up.
Too heavy on the spray, way too much paint at 1 spray.
Where are you located i would like for you to paint my car lol
Man, you are one talented dude, thanks for tthis!
Do you get a reaction from the rust oleum with reducer
I would like to see the jungin silver over white! Cheers!
Thanks for sharing bro! It was interesting.
I’m not a fan of red autos but that looks great
Dosent the gold rub off on youre fingers?
can you do a dark blue pearl on black?
So doing the math, if your using 1 gram per 5oz, you'd use 6.4 grams per quart? So a 25 gram jar would mix with a sprayable gallon?
Got 5 grams of Zen garden, 25 grams Monitor lizard, 5 grams sushi roll on the way. Taping off as I wait. Excited for something new! Curious about the black pigments I saw on there site, and how they do over colors and White.
Do primer with red pearl then clear.
Dang bro, can I pay you to paint my car
I see you're into tattoos.
Fun fact:
The highest quality tattoo inks used to come from King Cobra blood.
In India, it's cooked down and filtered (distilled) for permanent inks.
lol the orange peal is real on this one.
Could you possibly do a neon yellow/high viz yellow like the school crossing sings with a yellow/lime colored pearl? It's My favorite color thinking about painting my motorcycle that color would love to see it with a pearl.
Something tells me you might have seen a different with direct sunlight. The silver side looked slightly lighter and cleaner
Btw great colour combination 👍
I sprayed a green candy a very long time ago and it permanently stained the cup on my cheap harbor freight gun. I even cleaned it out right away with acetone.
Same! My cup stayed stained with the red candy, even tho I cleaned it with acetone and carb cleaner
Nice jefe! Knowledge...one love
That candy was beautiful
Hello. I think your test fenders will be 4 inches thick when you are all done experimenting 😃 All joking aside, Stay safe, great video
Chester from linkn park
Everything was going great but you should have added some clear to the candy red so it would be more transparent. Try it again I was real interested in a transparent red over the gold and silver. I went back to the first coat that is how it should look when finished. The gold side was a vibrant red that I ❤. Silver side kinda dull. Should have stopped right there
12:23 i like that one best 🙂
I would try the gold metal flake. In the clear. And use just a very little. So the car would look red. But in the sun have a gold shimmer. Or like a ghost gold effect.. the ghost red over black is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I painted a 1994 Honda vf750 magna with a rich silver metallic coat a red oxidized candy on top it was beautiful

Looking good thanks for sharing
mint green or sea foam green base
I wish I could see what you see
Id like to see how it works with that chrome as a base, it’s supposed to be chrome but only thing chrome is the cap but once it dries it makes an awesome silver color, I really think it’d give you the depth that candy is supposed to show 👍🏼
That was very interesting
Whatever happened to painting your car with your leftover paint? It was a cliffhanger !!
Red is a color that has very dense pigment concentration, which yields great color saturation.
Thank you for sharing your skills and expertise.

Sushi Roll, heck yes!
I like the black with the candy best. From my iPad I couldn’t notice a difference between the silver or the gold.
I had a bike painted house of color galaxy grey base, candy brandwine with red gold and silver flake. Such a deep glistening red. Besutiful color
Years ago my dad painted a candy maroon over white on a Chevy van. This reminds me of that.
The gold primer makes the red a rivcher color to my eyes and the silver makes it a bit duller to me. Ghost Red over black looks really good.
Soul red crystal 😏 that’s where I got the idea to try the gold under- except they use a rose gold. Looks absolutely mental in hard sunlight
I subscribe my friend! If you keep showing paint tips I’m hooked!
Thanks - was wondering how the eye candy pigment worked with automotive clear- nice job!
Yes, I remember the first time I saw that Mazda color on an suv! I looked it up when I got home!
over the gold is sweet
I appreciate all your content. Time to keep pushin. Next project. Im tuned in. I had a feeling you had something special comin up. Can't wait to see this new paint job.
