[METALLIC PAINTING TECHNIQUES w JAMIE S GROVE] Alright, so...
...now we're going to start the clean version of The Predator helmet, here.
So, I'm going to use a kind of a higher...
pressure.
Again, I usually never go by what the regulator tells me.
I usually always go by feel.
So, it's kind of at a higher spray with a lighter fan.
I'm barely going to be shooting it on there.
Now this has a much finer...
If you shoot too much of this on there,
it tends to look fake, so it's kind of like that...
perfect in-between where I'm just kind of hazing it on there...
until the look I'm kind of going for, which is that shiny...
metal look.
What we're trying to go for, too, is an even, consistent...
sheen to it.
You want to get good coverage,
an even coat.
So, I'm kind of, I'm just taking it slow...
and getting it to the level that I want.
Instead of just blasting it on, I'm just kind of easing it on.
Trying to build up that level of intensity of the sheen that I'm looking for.
Then again, too, making sure you get...
all the angles...
including underneath.
It's looking pretty good.
One thing that this product has when you're shooting it...
it kind of dries before it hits the surface.
so you get this dust layer on there.
So once you wipe that off, it actually, starts becoming...
a little shinier.
And as you can see, it dries pretty fast.
You know, I just stopped spraying it and I'm able to...
wipe it down.
That's basically the metal process.
From here, now we're going to add a couple more colors on there...
darken in some stuff.
And... the rest we'll do at the other table.
