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.

I worked in the banking industry for as long as I can remember, you know one of those boring people you only spoke to when you had to. My Mother had recently retired from her life long job and we were trying to find her a hobby. We decided to look into beading, Mother wasn’t interested; but I was IMMEDIATELY hooked.
I started out small, buying inexpensive beads for myself and family members. Customers at the bank began commenting on my jewelry and wanted to know where I had bought the piece. When I told them I had made them and they were for sale I quickly became a walking jewelry store. Rarely did I make it home with the jewelry I had worn leaving the house.
Now I am retired and design constantly, there isn’t a room in the house that doesn’t have a bead somewhere. Previously I bought jewelry to match my clothes, NOW I buy clothes to match my jewelry.
