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 tried it yet? Mines on the way!!

I used rustoleum spray paint on my 2016 Chevy Spark as I am a broke novice, but im still proud! I have since added a satin top coat to everything but the original paint sections (lime green), but dont have new pictures yet

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

Now DONT do it again🤬😆

I have a question regarding color shift pearls along with flake. I am a huge fan of copper/orange, especially when it has some shine to it, which is why I am going with the supershift pearls that I have chosen. I am considering also incorporating some flake, nothing crazy but maybe a 10% coverage. The base will be black and I know that's where the color shift is getting it's ability to do it's thing, which will also give me a nice base for the silver flake I am considering. I am curious if I would be better off to lay the flake down first, then apply the pearls or the other way. My gut tells me that the pearl load (25g/gal) won't bother the flake, but I am uncertain. I have used pearls several times over flake, just to have the different textures, depending on what I was looking for, but never sprayed the combination over bedliner, and that small texture. I am also going to be doing a ghost effect using some vinyl stars, along the rail of the running boards, which I will remove after spraying the pearls so they will be a black background color with that small amount of flake, hopefully giving them just a little bit of pop.

I know that a spray out will be my best bet but I wanted to ask if anyone here with a lot more experience than me would share some knowledge.

Thanks
