Calling all future painters, Pistolero Designs is offering hands-on classes in Texas! Under the guidance of Jose Mendoza, a true visionary in automotive customization, students get to learn the craft of transforming vehicles into rolling works of art. His latest project is a perfect showcase of how Tamco Paint products, paired with expert technique, can create show-stopping results.
The process began with HR397W Waterbourne Wax & Grease Remover and HR398 Final Wipe, ensuring the surface was perfectly prepped and clean. A strong foundation was then built using HP5310 Grey DTM (Direct to Metal) Primer Kit, giving the project the durability and adhesion it needed. For the base, Jose added brilliance with Slick Silver Metallic, enhanced and leveled with HR Reducers for a smooth application.
Next came the artistic magic. Layers of HC895 Intercoat and Clearcoat were used to lock in depth, followed by the vibrant Teal Time Candy Concentrate and the bold Pennywyze Candy Concentrate, creating a dazzling, candy-rich finish. To seal the look, Jose applied HC9500 Hi-Speed Impact 30 Min Clearcoat Kit, ensuring a glossy, durable surface ready to withstand the road. For efficiency and precision, Tamco T-Cups - Spray gun cup liner system was used throughout the project.
This class isn’t just about technique, it’s about learning how to combine high-quality products with creativity to achieve unforgettable results. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to sharpen your craft, Jose Mendoza and Pistolero Designs give you the knowledge, tools, and hands-on experience to bring your vision to life.
