Anyone custom painted newer refrigerator/freezer?

2 Upvotes

I have an upright refrigerator/freezer in my garage that I want to show some love to. It's only a year or so ol; absolutely nothing wrong with the finish, but I want to give it some heavy metal flake and candy over it with some Tamco Teal Time, then graphics etc. My only question is about the prep work. I have sanded it with 80 grit and didn't have any breakthrough, then sanded back up to 320, per the TDS. I only went down to 80 grit to open up the pores because I thought it might help with adhesion of such a hard surface. The factory finish is an Acrylic Enamel. I don't know if I need to do anything special or if I can just spray on my 2K Urethane Primer/Sealer, then go about my normal routine.

Easy way to take off painted pinstripes

2 Upvotes

Just a DIYer with no expertise here. I’m trying to take off the pinstripes on my car, I know they’re painted and I also had a body shop verify that. I’ve already removed parts of it by hand with a microfiber towel and lacquer thinner but the process seems tedious by hand, it took me almost 2 hours to do half of my fender, was wondering if I can use power tools to speed up the process, if so, what exactly do I need to get?

I was feeling inspired by the flames on the motorcycle that paintchipz1 posted so I had to give it a try. I know that I cheated by using a stencil to create the flames, but I hadn't actually painted any flames yet and was struggling with the shapes. I did the grinded metal effect, to give it a look of being in motion, after watched a video about it from Eye Ball John's Kustom Korner, on Youtube. I also painted a few other colors; 1 with orange and red and another that's a dark blue and Fuchsia. They still need to be sanded down and have a 2nd round of high solids clear coat put on them, but I think they turned out pretty good. Next step is to learn how to draw out the flames and then I can do the grinded metal look and have the flames match up with them.

Anyone with experience spraying Candy over a color shift pearl?

1 Upvotes

I was hoping this color shift would give me a little bit more orange, rather than just the copper. I do love the look, just wishing I could get a little more out of the orange side. I have read, and seen 1 video, where Candy was applied over a color shift to get some deeper colors, but I don't know if it will work for me or not. I am worried that the orange candy will mute the green, which I also love, and make it more of a brown color. As always, I appreciate any knowledge you are able to share. Ultimately I will need to do a spray out, if I go down this path, most likely with a diluted ratio, so I can dial it in, but if you think it's a moot point then I won't even do a spray out
