    An old school trick when spraying metalics or Metal flakes is drop a marble in the bottom of your cup after you mix while spraying your paint every so often swirl your marble around the your cup .It will keep the metalics and metal flakes from settling in the bottom. Dont have a marble handy> Puncture a rattle can after is done and raid the marble out of it and keep in your tool box .

      That used to work well with the old siphon guns like a Binks #7 , I wouldn’t suggest that with a modern day gravity feed guns being most of the time lol winters rip the filters out of the paint cup cap to spray flake. You would be in a very bad spot when the marble drops into the intake of the gun in the middle of a paint job , hood etc.

    Like what you do👍
    It also works good on vinyl, of course you have to use a clearcoat afterwards it gives it a real nice look. I used it on metal plastic and vinyl, It work awesome.
    What I like to do is tested on plastic speed shapes, because the sticks don’t give it much justice. When you’re done doing a speed shape you can hang them on a wall and use them as examples and people get more excited when they see it. Keep up the good work. Love playing with the different flakes and pearls.
    It’s just amazing what you can do with them.

    Oil based enamel paint was all they used to paint vehicles up to the 60s then cut and buffed. When you add hardener to rustoleum it turns it to a 2k paint.

    The reason that a lot of older tutorials/videos list mineral spirits rather than acetone is that the Rustoleum label used to read to use mineral spirits and not use acetone except on the aluminum color.
    Mineral spirits take MUCH longer to dry, and below about 50*F it will seem like it will never dry. I remember back in the day I sprayed a welder rack with Rusto thinned with mineral spirits in the spring and hung in the garage soft/sticky to the touch for over a week until I got it outside and let it sit in the sun on a warm day.
    I don't believe the formula has changed (it doesn't seem to act any different), just the recommendation because acetone drys MUCH faster, but mineral spirits self-levels much better.

      @WHITLEYAUTOWORKS  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes I used a 1.3 tip for both because it was a very small micro flake but if you plan on spraying it heavy or a thicker flake you might might step up to a 1.7 tip thanks for watching

    • @WHITLEYAUTOWORKS
      @WHITLEYAUTOWORKS  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It doesn't necessarily get darker it just gets more saturated the base has a lot to do with the tone if your wanting the full color of the pearl then you typically spray it like you would a tricoat over a black base if your looking for more of an accent then do light coats till you get the result your looking

    Man this is so much information , my heads gonna explode 🎉. Ive asked paint store employees about mixing my own. They just wanna mix paint with zero help. I wanna do a smoke grey , black 2 tone on a square body Silverado. Id like the black pearled as well , as the smike grey. What combination do i need???

    That's so cool. I've eyed that tsc clear for a while now. It says "lacquer" on the can and also not to mix it with the catalyst. I've always wondered if they were blowing smoke. I'm thinking now it's not a lacquer at all. It still hardens up the same right?

    • @WHITLEYAUTOWORKS
      @WHITLEYAUTOWORKS  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes as long as you add the hardener it works the same as automotive

    Your doing good keep it up , got a question do you got to change your needles for different flakes

    • @WHITLEYAUTOWORKS
      @WHITLEYAUTOWORKS  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have multiple needles but I have multiple guns so usually I'll just switch guns. Depending on the flake size and load a 1.4 tip which I normally use will not be enough. I have a 1.7 tip gun that works great for heavy flakes and high build primers and if I wanna go insanely big I have a 2.2 tip for my sata gun that I can spray pretty much anything thru.

    You know I got that 3 gallon compresser if I get a 6 gallon re fill tank and hook them up togather would that work

    • @WHITLEYAUTOWORKS
      @WHITLEYAUTOWORKS  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah that would obviously give you more storage for air and not run the compressor as much but also the compressor is going to run harder and longer to fill that extra tank capacity up so it really just depends what your overall set up is for that situation I would still probably run an LVLP gun

    So, I’m wanting to use IH red rust oleum paint on a tractor project, can I add pearl to the paint or what do I need to do to have a red pearl? Thanks!
    Also, what color of pearl? Red or silver, both?

    • @WHITLEYAUTOWORKS
      @WHITLEYAUTOWORKS  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You can add it to the paint for a more OEM look or to make a metallic color red or silver or both is fine or you would spray a clear coat over top and add the pearls in that to give it the same finish as you see in the video hope this helps and thanks for watching

      To be on the safe side a minimum of 2 quarts for a car and a gallon for a truck and yes if you want a more OEM look you can add the pearls or the flake into the paint itself thanks for watching

    Cool vid, thanks, but now I have questions. Years ago you would by Metallic Auto paint and it was single stage. It was as if everything was in the paint and you thined it and sprayed. It included the metallic. that leads to the 1st question, was all factory metallic silver? I don' tknow but until Ford started doing gold in black it always seemed to have a silver look in the color. 2, what is the metallic? is it a pearl or a metalflake? It didn't look at big as what your micro flake looked I don't think but it was always called metallic, not pearl. I've asked others before and I never seem to get a good answer. Rustoleum has a marine paint called Top Side. I've used the navy blue to paint the tank on my race motorcycle and it turned out really nice but I would like to see that color with metallic only I'm not sure what I need to do to get it there. The bike is vintage and I'm looking to do it such that the metallic is in woth the paint not sprayed on top, LOL, if that makes sense. I may be asking questions you've not come across yet and that's fine but then again you may know and is why I'm asking, you already know alot more about it than I do.
    Thanks, DC.

    • @WHITLEYAUTOWORKS
      @WHITLEYAUTOWORKS  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'm pretty sure the whole concept of metallics when it comes to Pearls or micro flakes or even bigger really just deals with the sizes of the particles but the short answer to your question when it comes to most automotive paints is that the metallics in the paint are silver metallic paint which is really just very fine silver pearls being combined in a binder or clear liquid with a number of other colors and tints to create most unique colors which I know from mixing automotive paint at Napa. Things have evolved over the years with various pearl pigment to include white partical pearls used most commonly in ghost / interference pearls and color shift pearls. Originally yes most everything was just considered metallics all based in adding silver to create new colors and then over the years new additives were created given names to sort stuff out like Kandy paint which is pretty much a translucent dye of sorts. Most generic colors I would say if your looking to turn a basic color into a older metallic effect to add a good bit of silver or gold micro flakes or pearls if you want the smallest particle size into the base to create a old school custom effect or just visit your local Napa or paint store as most have books going back into the 40s of various paint options to create that period correct look your going for. I hope my info helped good luck with your project and thanks for watching.

    Interested in the flake, was thinking of just adding it to the Rustoleum paint. Would this turn out or would you not be able to see the flake? Also if you have to put the flake in a clear, what about using the base coat the same color as the flake?

      @@itsjusti4262 you can but depending on the color base you use especially black the powder will become lost in it most the time unless you use a lot which at that point would work more like a factory color if that's the look your going for. Most ppl use it in the clear or an inter coat for more of an effect to manipulate the base to look like something completely different but yes either way works great just depends on the look your going for.
