how's it going everybody
uh i am pablo prado from candy and
chrome custom paint work let me show you
guys real quick how i lay out these
graphics on
this 1962 convertible
the base is going to be the foundation
of the paint job because i like to use
the silver base with you know real heavy
metal flake
the silver base is always going to give
you the the most vibrant color
the silver flakes is basically going to
make that candy dance but you're going
to see all the glitter
like all the flake dancing in the
sunshine once the flakes are sprayed out
the next step would be adding clear you
want to make sure
all that metal flake is buried
underneath
to encapsulate that flake i'll come back
the next day and i'll sand that down
flat
to pretty much eliminate any of the
texture left behind
basically start off by laying out that
center line basing off that center line
i'll start my design on one half of the
car
and using reference points like such as
tail lights or certain body lines
once i lay my first line out then i
build off of that to kind of
develop the rest of the pattern design
when you lay a design out
let's say you lay a square out i mean
you can lay that out in five minutes and
be done with it
and for me i like to add a little more
more detail to that to that main shape
i'll go ahead and lay out different size
tapes on within that certain simple
design
to kind of just to give it that more
detail to the design
once i have my initial design on one
side of the car i'll go ahead and
lay a white masking paper on top of that
area
and i'll trace it out with a pin once
it's traced out
i'll go ahead and flip the template or
the stencil over to the opposite side
and i'll go ahead and cut it out
and outline it with my tape to outline
my stencils
once my tape design is all masked out i
go ahead and start with the paint effect
which is the water drop effect
first off uh what i like to do is lay
out a clear base coat
and that's gonna make my water bead up
on the surface so as you can see here
i'm spraying at a low
angle so that way the water drop
captures
just the overspray part of the paint you
go ahead and let that
sit uh overnight once you eliminate all
the water from the surface
you're able to put a clear coat on top
of that that's going to basically
lock in the shape of the water
so up next we're going to be doing a
flake fade out i go ahead and mask out
certain sections
on top of the water drops and i'll go
ahead and just fade out
flake in those areas
so the next paint effect that i'm be
doing is going to be called the candy
streaking effect
and i just basically create like
somewhat of a streaking effect
just by smearing it using a microfiber
towel
so what i like to do around the edges of
the paint effects i like to darken up
the edges of it with the with the candy
it's gonna do is just basically give it
a little bit of a shadow effect
[Music]
so once the paint effect is done kind of
check out uh which areas are going to
take
the solid color which areas are going to
have
candy fades i kind of plan out which
area i'm going to spray next
so once i figure out what colors i'm
going to do in those areas
i go ahead and unmask those areas and
begin to lay out the color
that i decided on which in this case is
the
it's a candy apple red and then i'll add
the next
color or the next form of laying the
paint out whether it be
filling it all in or fading it you know
just adding paint along the edge of that
area
so in that area right there i'm just uh
fading out a little bit of the candy
paint
out onto these three quarter inch strips
to kind of make it look like some spears
are coming out from
underneath the pattern design once i uh
fade out the color
i go ahead and go back over it with a
little bit more candy along the edge
right there to kind of make it you know
give it that little depth
this stitch right here we're unmasking
the next level over
and we're going to be basically doing
the same thing as far as with the candy
paint i'm going to be fading out some
candy paint
and these uh along these edges i'm
basically using the masking tape
just to kind of give me another layer of
depth and in the pattern design
in this section right here we're going
to be doing a basically traditional
tape fade effect and we're going to be
fading in a real light candy
color along this edge right here and we
spray out the color and one in the first
section
we'll go ahead and remove the next layer
of three quarter inch tape
and add another pass of candy paint
lightly fading just like right along the
edge of it
the main purpose of this is to fill in
this empty sections right there
so once we got all of our color laid out
it's time to do my favorite part which
is the unmasking
part of it you know it's basically like
a sneak peek
into what the final product is going to
look like
so this is basically the same process
that gets repeated on the rest of the
car and on the different sections of the
car the hood the trunk the sides
