How to paint ghost flames with spray cans

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hey guys! I’m Brad, and I make how-to videos. I do custom painting projects, guitar painting, airbrushing, spray can painting, wood working, and a variety of other finishing work and tutorials. Please subscribe and check out my channel for more!
IMPORTANT: Since the filming of this video, candy paint has become available in spray can format.
This video shows a new technique that I came up with for painting a form of ghost flame with spray cans. Obviously you can achieve superior results using proper spray equipment, but this is still a fun an interesting technique to try out.
Hopefully this technique will open up some possibilities for ghosting effects for anyone who is restricted to doing their spraying with cans.
The paints that I use in this video are made by Rustoleum. Other brands such as Krylon, Tremclad, Molotow, or others can be used as long as you can find a translucent colour that meets your needs.
Candy paints, which are completely transparent, are now available. House of Kolor carries a high quality version. They refer to them as Kandy.
You will be able to achieve superior results as demonstrated on the reverse of the panel if you become proficient with an airbrush and paint gun. The back of the panel was painted using AutoAir and PPG paints, as well as a Devilbiss paint gun and Iwata airbrush.
The process for achieving this kind of effect with spray cans involved creating a high contrast image using a dark background and light foreground, or the opposite. Next you paint over it with a semi-transparent colour such as the rustoleum metallic paint that I used in this video. I chose the racing green colour, and used it as the background as well. You can also just do your image in black and white and then go over it with your top colour.

    Thanks for your comment doodr. If you take a look at some of my more recent work, I make it more clear that a mask is necessary. I sometimes don't wear one when filming portions of my videos when I'm trying to explain things while spraying, but I always encourage others to use protection. I used to assume that people already knew that, but I've started harping on it more lately.

    Rustoleum's colorshift paint is designed to go over a black base. It would create an interesting effect in this situation, but if you mean to use it instead of the green it won't be much of a ghosted effect. It doesn't really show up over white.

    @BradAngove11 жыл бұрын

    Yes. That is their purpose; to remove dust between coats and before clear coating. Great for airbrushing when you get overspray. You can get them at many hardware stores and almost any automotive paint store. Home depot should have them.

If you want a thin line, you can get it by spraying at an angle against the cardboard, and letting the paint deflect down onto the surface.

    Andrew Blackwell Normally I would just sand back the gloss and paint over the old job. If you've got to take the paint off because there are problems with it I would go with sandblasting (only if the tank is metal of course). If the parts are plastic you can't really use sandblasting or aircraft stripper. Both would ruin it. If the tank is metal, you can sandblast it and then prime it and have your friend airbrush it from there.

    +gonzosc1 Pearl white is very nice, but I doubt that you would notice much of a difference in this case. The metallic colour that I put over it has it's own pearl, which gives the white that sparkling look in the end regardless. I'm using the white exclusively for contrast in this specific paint job.

Where I live it is a small town and very Limited on any type of art equipment and it would take me 2 hour rid to the nears city, so I know wouldn't be able to find the the paint you have mentioned where i live .so if I go to a hardware store and try to find something as close to the receipt, what will it be by your professional view, or what would MacGyver use beside chilling gum and duct tape.

    The stuff that I use is available online if you're interested. I've never found paint at a hardware store that I would put through my airbrush, but maybe you could put some enamel through a small paint gun if you thin it a little with paint thinner or mineral spirits. I believe MacGyver would use a car battery, some paper clips, and a penny or two.

    +Eric Brennon Hi Eric. I believe that ghost flames are supposed to blend in, so I guess you would either do them in a candy color close to the synergy green color, or do them lightly in white like I did here and then go over them again with that synergy green. I would be very hesitant to use spray cans on a motorcycle though if that's what you're intending.

    Thanks. It's a piece of dibond, which is a smooth sign material that is probably much easier to paint than cardboard.

    Nah just a side hobby really. They turn out great for what we use. I actually just picked up some metallic green today. And I'm in the process of testing it out on a panel right now.. Thanks for all the Imput I'll hit you up about how it turned out... :)

    Hi Brad, I know you said you used no liquid on tack cloth to clean over spray dust, but it looks wet after the tack cloth passes over panel... i am painting a yamaha boat motor cover (cowl). Having trouble keeping a wet edge due to so many different planes and the oval shape of the cowl. Having trouble with overspray drying and sticking before getting to the next adjoining surface... also did you ever do video on the best spray equipment to do small to large surfaces?

    +John Hill It's not wet, it's just clean. The white dust is coming off and letting you see the clean darker green color. If you have different panes and you're having trouble with overspray you can mask off the ones you aren't painting and do them one at a time. Painting over overspray also isn't a big deal if you're going over it with an opaque color. It's best to take off what you can with a tack cloth, but don't worry about it too much. I don't have a video about what spray equipment is best for specific sizes of surfaces. A proper paint gun can be adjusted to do most surfaces regardless of size.

    It has to contrast in order to show through the semi-transparent. It will depend on what your background colour is.

    Idk I tried it. I did hot rod flames.. Primer, base black, sprayed metallic, taped my flames, sprayed white, sprayed metallic then clear. But the white still shows threw pretty good. Should I not go heavy on white and just mist it more or should I use a darker color like black again so they dissappeAr on different angles? I'm confused. Lol

    There are two easy things that you can do to increase the subtlety of the effect. You can use a colour other than white for you flame (maybe a light green, or even black if you want; every colour will give a different effect), or you can apply another coat of the metallic paint after. It gets more opaque as you build it up, so once you've taken off you tape for the white, do an extra coat of the metallic to push the white back further.

    I'm a little confused by your question. The tack cloth is used between coats to clean off dust and overspray. You should be able to use it between any coats that are dry. It is often used after airbrush work to clean off overspray.

    Unfortunately, the rattle cans produced very distinct spray lines despite the fact you sprayed in both directions for to the round pattern of the nozzle. A change to an oval pattern nozzle wood help there significantly. Side B looks great! Very sweet effect. 😀👍

    So if i layed a few coats of metallic pearl black. Then did a design using orange matte opaque and white matte opaque. Will these colors have enough contrast to "ghost" when using the metallic pearl black?

  • @BradAngove

    @BradAngove

    9 жыл бұрын

    MrForthcoming They might, depending on what orange you use. Black is a difficult colour to do ghost flames in because it naturally has more opacity, so you need higher contrast under it. The orange probably won't look much like orange anymore with a layer of black on it though.

    I'm glad you like the video. I'm a little confused about what you are going for. Do you mean that you want red flames on black? Or that you want to use a black undercoat and then paint the fender red and have hot-rod style ghost flames on it? You can get a metallic red just like the green that I used from home depot and follow the same process as in this video (except you will want to tape out your flames if you want hot-rod style). Or you can do a different version using house of colour spray cans. Which I will tell you where to get if you want to go that route.
