I been working at a restoration shop for 3 years, finally going to start making ghost flames, I did a red candy and thinking about what color to make a ghosted out flame currently, your videos have shown me been watching your videos to help myself out at work thank you for your channel and dedication.-ps its a Harley gas tank too
I remember we were painting a complete in/out. Next to the paint booth we had electronic dust particle ionizers we used those booths to do fenders small jobs. We had a spot on the door that the body shop had to fix. Whilst touching up a scratch. The door creaked and the body person sprayed the door hinge with wd 40 A NO NO And caused fish eye in the whole body job in the booth. So screw up happen. I admire the patience you have. All these thing were a comedy of errors. I always said to my employees . Don't follow the rules , you deserve what you get, and never enough time to do it right, always enough time to do it over. So you want to work the weekend? We were flatraters. Lol we didn't makes those mistakes again. Close to perfection most of the time. I also appreciated the fact you did not like it. So you fixed it.
Stupid question from a DIY’er. Do you recommend a coat of regular clear over the paint coat and wet sanding before applying flames. Thanks for the painting lessons. The best I have seen so far.
I have yet to paint an antire car but watching you do flames makes me wanna do some! Thinking maybe i'll flame my mail box or something just to scratch the itch! Thanks Pete
Thats a GREAT IDEA to learn how to paint the flames but doing small stuff such as a mail box, and believe it or not you could actually sell them for good money.. People love FLAMED MAIL BOX's and FLAMED TOILET SEATS! If you do it let me know,, I wanna see it! Pete
Dude, you are awesome to show us your trade and want us to be as proficient as you... thanks brother! How would you go about doing a ghost Indian headress logo for Indian motorcycle?
Hi Pete, can you tell me what pearls you use for your ghost flames? Of is there a video that shows you mixing the pearls. I have seen so many types its confusing, some mixed it with white powder, some color only. Thank you, Bob Baltimore , MD.
Hello Pete, seems like the blue should have been on the bottom since you wanted the red to be more dominate. If this was the case, then you wouldn't have had to tape over the red that intersected the blue. This would have saved some time. Am I correct?
Sorry im so late on watching these but just a quick little question. So you used the DBC550 then wet sanded it with 1500 and cleared right over it? With putting clear right over a prepped 1500 grit surface doesn't it increase your chances of runs in the clear if its a full wet coat, or on your first coat of clear do you do a medium wet coat so the full wet coat on top wont run? I hope that made sense, been trying to figure out how to word it properly.
Hello pete My name is Robert E Lee and I have a 69 charger, and sence they killed off the general Lee. I was wondering if you could do like a ghost general Lee paint job ? I think that would just be ossum ! Hope to here from you on this Your new friend Robert
Glad the new deal is off and starting we don't see the work like you do much anymore everyone wants to turn a quick dollar and unfutunatly the quality of work goes to shit....good luck in your new venture bud!
Thanks for being so honest about mistakes. Some people act like they are perfect.

Nice work Pete. How many coats of inner coat clear did you spray on?
Daymn Dude,, Total BAD ASSERY !!!!!!
Did you apply the DBC-500 after you painted the flames as well to be able to wet sand?
What is the difference between using an intercoat clear as opposed to standard clear?
thank you for the heads up, you know your shit, a fact,thanks again
Doesn't the wax from the crayon contaminate the surface?
Where are you located?
Is liquid pearl or powder pearl?
what kind of sticky paper is that?
