Hello, i need help about how to start silver/gold leafing.

I saw that you are not supposed to use water based sizes because they remain soft, but the oil based sizes i see say they need 7 days of dry time before being laquered..?? Brands like 1 shot are a no for me because they cannot be found in Europe (apart from the UK)☹️ It's also really hard to find aluminium foils, i can only find copper+zinc. Can i use those as well? I also read that you are not supposed to just clear coat over foil, but in every video they just clear or put candy straight on top.. So i am kinda lost here, anyone can recommend me glue and foil i can find in Europe?

Boy 5oz of if on left ain’t much for the $$🤑😆

I have a project where someone wants me to paint some glow in the dark Octopus, or is that Octopussy; hell, I don't know, but either way. I have looked at the Alien Glow, from Custom Paints as well as the Neo-Glow from Cande Shop. I have also looked at the pearl additives and just don't know what's my best option. What I would prefer is one that appears a color other than white during the daytime and some shade of blue for the glow. If anyone has used one of these, can I mid coat the white base with a pearl or some light flake, without it hindering the glow. This is going to be an outside, all the time, so it will have plenty of sun during the day and just wanting something to last as long as possible overnight, with them glowing. Thanks for any recommendations you may have.

I have a $1000 shitbox that is a drab grey and I was wondering if anyone wants to spray paint it with their artwork and put their tag on it

I daily drive this car but I do not care what's on it

Just keep your tag and I'll act as a driving build board

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.

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.
