Ground Metal

[NolesRock15]

Hey Ed i was just wondering what you use for the panels that you use to do the lightning or some of the others that you have done like the carbon fiber with the shelf liner. I hope its nothing that i should already know or im going to feel stupid!

Thanks

[edhubbs]

@NolesRock15 I sell the panels on my web site in the store section.

Ed, I've done a few brushed dashboards in my days and an easy way to get your circles straight is to use a drill press. I've also done some pretty wild designs with bridgeports and cnc mills. I've also used the scotch bright pads and flamed stainless panels for cabinets.

Hi there Ed!!!

First of all let me thank you for the availability of your vids here.

I would love to learn the technics you show, but as I am not a English speaker I need to know if the DVD includes transcriptions/subtitles.

If so I will buy your videos. If not, pls consider that ppl from other countries also want to buy, but with so many diferent technics and materials, it is not an easy task.

Hugs.

[edhubbs]

@Mistersensato No,sorry it does not.I have thought about it. But it would be a lot more work to add it and I would have to raise all of my prices on my videos to every one.

[sirdiegobernal]

So wierd of you to not explain at all in this video the painting process... I gotta say..i was a bit disappointed lol

[edhubbs]

@sirdiegobernal Oh but I do,you just have to pay for it in this video.LOL

[sirdiegobernal]

@edhubbs Got it!! :) you give a lot of free info and advise, which is sooo awesome man, I really appreciate all the vids you put together. It has really helped with my airbrushing. Thank you!!

PS: I think I really need to buy those videos!

[edhubbs]

@sirdiegobernal All thirteen videos are still on sale,I will take the sale off this weekend and they will be the original price after that.

[citybillykustoms]

Hey Ed, what did you lay down on the panel before shooting the candy? Was it a basecoat blender or a clear coat of some sort? I want to job with this technique but don't want to even attempt it before knowing all the steps first. Thanks

[edhubbs]

@citybillykustoms Sorry man I sell a video on my web site that explains the technique and products to use.

[NeoQuello]

[ridion5]

[edhubbs]

@NeoQuello Yes and no,depends on the car.

[graff90]

0:50 great for a wood design

[HackerGuitarist]

cool tho this is "sanded" metal ..you would never want to "grind' aluminum..

cool effect

[edhubbs]

If you don't mind me asking,what is your opinion why you shouldn't grind aluminum?

Because I disagree with you and would like to know why you think that. Thanks.

Ed Hubbs.

[HackerGuitarist]

Hi Ed ! I consider "grinding" as, using a hard wheel like a larger handheld grinder , bench grinder..ect

aluminum is so soft that it will clog the wheel/disc instantly,than heat up and melt into the surface or cut.

I have seen a couple grinding wheels explode in my day when the aluminum built up enough to cause the disc to crack.

A machinist would never grind aluminum.

[edhubbs]

Oh Ok Man now I understand what you are saying. Because what I do isn't really like that and that is I didn't understand. Thank you for replying.

[vicvaroom]

@HackerGuitarist I own a tool and die shop and we machine all types of metals, basic to exotic (stellite, titanium, ect.) Cutting , grinding or polishing aluminum is not a problem if you know what you are doing. You saw Ed do it in the video. Do you think it was a trick done with mirror's or something?

[HackerGuitarist]

if you own a tool and die shop than ..I hope to god, you know the difference between a sander and a grinder ! if you don't than I wonder what kind of operation your running. Do you actually know the difference between a sander and a grinder?

[SpecialedSpellcaster]

The operation is called Full Blown Kustoms, not Full Blown Kustom Tools, but that would be cool... Dude Full Blown Kustom Tools put NOS on my paint gun and super charged my air compressor! The tool he used is called an angled air die grinder.

Ed, did you fade kandy colors on the panel or is that just a reflection at 0:10?

[crazddrifterr]

thanks for the video man :) love the look of ground metal!! also good to see you using auto air cause what i use to...... have you seen the panel done by simon murray with ground metal then he masked out flames? looks killer :)

[edhubbs]

No I haven't seen it,but if it is done by Simon then it has to be nice.

[foxxtrotalpha]

Do you still use Kustom Shop? last couple of videos I haven't seen you use them

[edhubbs]

No I do not use them any more.

[bosairbrushing]

@edhubbs why dont you use Kustom Shop anymore?

[fishermankerry]

Ed very nice..I never thought about putting a candy on like that...now you have me thinking about a Harley gas tank Thanks Bud

[edhubbs]

[edhubbs]

These are clips out a a video that I sell on my web site that explains what to use on the panel.

[Jed9133]

It might be a out of this world question to you but ,how can you polish a scratched ipod? the back is like aluminum..

[edhubbs]

Really not sure about that one.

[SpankyTheHouseRat]

Use buffing compounds and a buffing wheel.

[varun009]

try some rubbing compound but im not too sure due to the thickness of the metal.

[aid2003]
