James Armentor – Auto paint on sheet metal.

I apply automotive paint to hard surfaces like sheet metal. First  I make a pen drawing then freehand the design on a prepared surface with an airbrush. After the freehand work is done I use a freehand shield, a cut-up piece of plastic in one hand and airbrush against it to make a sharp edge.  When I am done I spray an automotive clear coat with an automotive finish gun.  I never know how the clear will react with the base paint.  Some base paint will float up in the clear some colors will bleed through other layers.  It’s really neat to watch the reaction.  When I’m done I polish the piece to a fine deep gloss.
