steve mcqueen 1,796 Posted December 5, 2013 Id be more impressed if I could see the results of the items in this clip a couple of days after they have dried. Also show us removing the paint, scratching it up with a piece of 36 grade paper just to prove "its an actual painting process" Whats the stuff coming from the spray gun at the beginning of the clip? They painting the water with ???? and why. I see this maybe getting bigger in the future, good for painting custom bikes and what not but right now, I don't think it has a huge market. What prep goes into this? To many questions un answered for a 14 minute vid clip. 2 Stevemack and XES reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigCav 464 Posted December 5, 2013 i did some research last night, as a paint guy i understand little of it lol but its supposed to be dureable, the spray they put on initially is a reactive agent to start the sepeartion process 1 steve mcqueen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamie247 542 Posted December 5, 2013 very common practise today most guitars are dip like this for marble effects etc once cleared over it's like any paint job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XES 859 Posted December 5, 2013 That was my thought too steve. Its cool to see all the stuff you can do but I want to see the whole process. 1 steve mcqueen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n00bus m@x1mus 465 Posted December 5, 2013 Its been around for a long time, its only just got into the main stream and then made cool by applications such as in the video. Its supposed to take away the time factor and pain of airbrushing by simply designing it on a computer and printing it out like any signwriter would. But like cobrajet said its only a base coat, it still needs the usual sealing process done like any other cob setup (or airbrushing for that matter) Its cool, i saw a bike being down for some richie rich dude in the states that wanted everything to be covered in Benjamins... just simply could not have done it any other way.

Crazy2287 1,886 Posted December 6, 2013 It's a legit process. As said, use it like a base coat so it has clearcoat to put over the top.Badpipeing... Thats my shit!!! 1 Neil Armstrong reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil Armstrong 92 Posted December 7, 2013 Yeah it could open doors to hole new graphics etc, airbrushing is becoming a thing of the past for sure, they already do a similar thing with nail art.Put picture on nail, and nail clear over it to seal it. then you got funky nails. Cost wise, you'd be crazy not to get a wrap done or hydro-coating over airbrushing, soon it will be cheaper to print shit out then spray and prep a panel. Babe piper is a sick cunt.
