They use their blending paper/sandpaper as a mask and then just rolled in the opposite direction withhttps://youtu.be/bJds30Cn8Hs their printing roller. Like doing all the angles on a 37 Plymouth or a 38 Dodge.

I will admit the videos on our website are very old. Also back in the day YouTube only had so much resolution you could upload. Most people's bandwidth could not handle Big files anyway. But we do think most folks will get an understanding of the process from them. Aerosol cans have come a...

The PC-7 epoxy does work really nice. I have done about a dozen Packard wheels using it. Also, some of the Bumpe repair epoxies work well I don't have the name of what I used for it though. Still have some at the shop I'll have to find it. The Unimog wheel with the garden hose on it, I ended up...

Not A ford but A buddy of mine asked me to fix this wheel for him. I guess a new garden hose and tape:D I did kind of fix though. Just funny he said it was rough.

Maybe try some Gibbs Brand I have cleaned up some nasty parts with it . https://youtu.be/-NVvhAYv6hM

The early cars were done with a Stippling brush. The ones that were printed were printed in what they called a Stippled Mahogany. Also the A 400 was a Butt Walnut. Jdee Our A400 video.. https://youtu.be/-vCE8e2HFD0

We use Dupont Chromabase RS668 or the more red RS667 these are from the Spectramaster book. These photos will look off probably, Computer monitors all show color differently. But this is the Book we use. The RS is for Red Solids... :) Jdee

I really do think the large format printers could do a good job. Not sure why I don't see more of that? Those new big printers have good pigmented ink in them that should last. The new vinyl really goes around corners well. Jdee

You can go really cheap for A driver . I know a guy that found a dirty diaper in a land fill and smeared it on his dash it looked great! You just need lots of clear coat to keep the stink down. when cost is you main thing you can do lots of cool work a rounds.:D:D Jdee I have seen art guys do...

Yes that's what the blending paper is for"320 grit wet dry sanding paper". We don't usally cut the paper up though only on some odd patterns it helps. The main thing is to wipe away from the paper or the ink will dam up and leave a line, that makes the blending more work. Frog juice is used...

I would think the Vinyl wrap guys could make a stick on decal for you, using something like a 3M Control tack material. Maybe clear it with frog juice to get it to hold up. Jdee

Yes we seem to get some viva that's just not as soft and leaves behind fine lint. Seems to change from batch to batch. Jdee

Hi yes there are videos. I will be doing new videos next month. More on how I do the painting in our shop the supplies I use and where to get them. More on graining also. I sure wish this humid weather would go away, guess that's what I get for living in a swamp:D Jdee PS: The videos are here...

The Pros do not use great big rollers much at all. Most all graining is done with the smaller rollers. It is super easy to get into corners with rollers. :D Jdee
