  • Lol, Instead of designing the stencils backwards,

    isnt it easier to just put them backwards when you spray?

    Am I the only one finding it hilarious that you make a _tutorial_ for something you have obviously never done before?

    Still love you though :)

  • yeah- we royally screwed this up :) - it was kind of perfect though so others dont make the same mistakes. The purpose of this video was mainly to demonstrate the concept of reverse printing on acrylic (which looks rad) so people could envision doing yourselves.

  • do want track ID

  • hahahaha check your under-spray son. Dude can mix but he needs more practice painting. Use better quality paint and spray slow in one direction. That will minimize your underspray. But I'm glad you can customize this shiz. I'm throwing my Wall-E stencil down on my Midi-Fighter when it comes.

  • what is the name of the track playing???

  • Think of layers. You do the one which has the least amount of color or most up front one first. This is most likely the black around the letters. Then you color the white in (behind the black but in front of the gold). The last is the background. He didnt use a stencil for this because the others have been painted on already. Coloring on these will not show because color doesnt shine through, and just shows the areas that havent been painted yet.

  • I like how her threw in some painting 101 at the end, "paint across from side to side." Most people don't know this and end up with giant sticky blotches all over from holding the spray in one area for too long. Side to side works great on anything! Wood, cloth, metal, plastic :D

  • Since he's spraying the backside he doesn't have to bother using a stencil for the yellow/gold. So he can just spray it and it doesn't cover the white and black.

    The layers just show up through the other side of the clear faceplate.

  • OK I must be an idiot but how does this stencil thing work?  at 1:29 it looks like he takes the stencil off and then paints the whole thing gold?

  • yeah
