  • So I want to do some gold leafing on my 5th wheel on my cadi do I use the same steps or do I have to scuff the clear coat on the 5th wheel?

  • @notesonekid Gold leaf is fairly durable, clearcoating the entire vehicle is going to add to the longevity of any paintjob but it is not necessary. Any leaf project can be urethane clearcoated with a paintbrush, before the outlining. Good luck, make sure you do a practice panel before you attack your Caddy

  • Hey Steve, is the size you are working with in this video oil based?

  • After checking the Rolco label, it says if time permits to try their slow set oil-based guilding size, it also says that their quick -set contains mineral spirits. my conclusion is that the quick-dry does not have any oil, except in the spirits, hope this helps.

  • awesome work....!!!^_^

  • @ajjs02 Have fun , Make some money, do it again, I hope everyone tries this !

see all

  • @SignmanLip2 Thanks for the kind words, I still see Jerry Barnett ,sprint car builder that had the shop next to Dale and his brother,back in 78-79 I drove one at manzanita speedway in Phx. I have a new lettering brush set coming out in about 2 months, that should set the lettering guys up for a while ,new designs,that everyone loves

  • Nice vid. Amazing to hear you mention Burton - he and George Gruber were the "Gold Standard" for SO many years!! I'm 50 mi. north of Indy, and before the days of vinyl I used to letter 20-30 sprints, midgets & Champ dirt cars a year. Burton & Gruber's work was always what made me strive to be better. I've also followed your work in mags like AutoGraphics, etc. You are a master! Bikini of Indy first showed me how to gild back in '73. Best regards, keep up the great work.
