Transformers Custom Paint Tutorial. P1.

[Nags]

I was wondering if the paint comes off or chips when painting the transformers. I was thinking of using a sealer, thoughts?

[sabresrcurcrazy]

I just started customizing a few of my figures, and in all honesty this paint works wonders. Relatively cheap and good quality. Thanks for the advice lol.

where do u buy those paints and perfecting knife

[DerekZ7]

hi im new and handicapped. Do you use masking tape around windows and you tape off tires to paint the rims?

do you use a glossy clear coat and can you list the blue and red paint to uuse Optimus Prime.

Thanks

@DerekZ7

Taping areas off takes time but makes painting much easier. Careful, masking tape can really stick especially to painted surfaces. One trick is to make the tape less adhesive by sticking it to your fingers (like leaving fingerprints) a small amount of oil from your hand will make it peal away easier (but too much and it won't stick at all). Always clean where your going to paint, a little windex on a paper towel works to remove dust and oils, it ensures the paint sticks better.

Great video, man! I have never had the urge to do a repaint on any figures until I got my Leader Class HFTD Starscream. Now I finally have some general knowledge to do so and hopefully it comes out great. Subbed and favorited!

[10191927]

@Hargrove333 I work out, i've never been fat in my entire life. I eat right and I don't eat junk food and empty carbs. Despite my appearance, i'm quite built. I'm 175 pounds of muscle, 5ft, 9in.

[Kidflash255]

Is the crackle paint from the folk art brand?

[10191927]

@Kidflash255 Yes it is.

[Remery05]

hey what paints do you use and stuff, i was thinkinmg of trying to customise some of my toys, any tips? PLEASE reply man

[10191927]

@Remery05 I use Folk Art brand. I use Metallic Sterling Silver, Metallic Black, Metallic Blue Saphire, and Metallic Silver. As well as just regular black acryllic.

[Remery05]

@10191927 thanks alot man

[Archerpyro]

Could someone please help me ? Is it mandatory for Basic painting my optimus all black ? i really dont wana paint all my toys custom black paint cause its my first time and i dont wana geet it all black .

[10191927]

@Archerpyro No. Not all of it. Only pieces like the gray plastic. For solid pieces like the armor or legs, or arms, or back panels, you would use metallic paints that match the corresponding color.

[Archerpyro]

@10191927 could you give me the name of the materials ? and can you like explain a little bit more ? i kinda didnt get that. :S

[SatoKazuya]

Could you put the materials that you mentioned in the vid in the comment section? (like the paint brand, color #)

[emerc111]

[the1djexile]

sherwin williams blue blood, great match for prime blue

[Teeheehee093]

need help. I never painted a toy before. What do I do if I mess up. When painting all black. I love my Sentinel Prime figure and do not want to turn it all black and fuck it up. Also do I have to take them apart to paint

[10191927]

@Teeheehee093 Taking a figure apart is up to you. I would suggest it for the head and arm pieces, maybe leg pieces as well. But you also don't have to use black as a base, I have Sentinal as well, and his color scheme doesn't need a black wash, maybe for the gray parts, but other than that you can use a black metallic paint for the black parts on his chest.

[emoboy163]

would nail polish be a good supplement for the paint?

[codeywings10]

[pcjordan23]

ohh yea by the way im sorry for my slow post

i just come back from a brief 4 day holiday and their was no computers :-/

but im back now :)

[dorismann]

cool

[Artimas212]

gotta let you know why ppl use the testors and other brand name paints: it's because they're quality is A LOT better on plastics and such. folkart paints are not as durable and are not made for customizing figures. i've used em before.

but nice tutorial

[ggeek101]

nice man awsome job

[DaMexicanZFighter]

cool bro im going do 1 after u finish all ur tutorial videos thanks

[CyberpunkCentral]
