Here's another awesome work from Danny Riddle! On this piece, Danny shows us step by step how he was able accomplish the design using Tamco Paint's top notch products on this epic skateboard! See the steps below (this is directly from Danny itself):
Step 1
- Wet sand with 800 grit, clean with;
-
HR398 Final Wipe and layout flames with ProBand Fineline 1/8” green tape.
Step 2
- Mask around flames with Autographix masking tape.
Step 3
- Blend Tamco Candies with touch up gun.
- I used Lemonade-Candy Pearl Basecoat to Tamgerine Pearl to OG Red-Candy Pearl Basecoat to Violette-Candy Pearl Basecoat on the tips.
- Then pull the perimeter masking.
Step 4
- Using 1/16” tape, layout freehand pinstripe designs.
Step 5
- Carefully cover flames and outlines with mask.
Step 6
- Spray background with a blend of Black Metal-Candy Pearl Basecoat (top), Violette-Candy Pearl Basecoat (middle) and SoCal Blue-Candy Pearl Basecoat.
- After applying 2 or 3 coats of the black and blue, pull the 1/16” tape to reveal the freehand stripes and tint them with the candies to the desired color.
- Finally, pull all masking from flames and surrounding pinstripes.
Step 7
-
Wipe down with HR398 Final Wipe, then tack rag and clear (I used HC9500 Hi-Speed Impact 30 Min Clearcoat Kit)
-
3 coats, dry 2 hrs, wet sand with 800 wet paper, 1000 grit, 1500 grit, 2000 grit, 2500 grit 3,000 and finally 5,000.
-
Polish with CSI products and ready to go!
