Customs Weird paint techniques

Blow dots, lace, metal flake, fish scales, cobwebbing, smoke, plastic wrap, even wood graining. Done it all through the 60's to the 90's.

 

Do they still make flip flop paint or is there some new product like it?

The old DuPont Dulux would take forever to dry so my mentor would heat up an electric frying pan. He would put the gun In the pan and just before it would bubble. He put the gun together and shoot it. Went on like glass and dried in no time.

 

I worked with a guy who would also heat up Dulux (Synthol, or synthetic enamel) on a stove before he would spray it. That stuff looked great out of the gun.

 

All reducer does is thin the viscosity of the paint to make it sprayable. When you heat the paint it makes it thin the viscosity of the paint so it's sprayable. The main difference is your not waiting for the solvents to evaporate off. There is really a big difference in the smell of the two when you spray. Also it sprays a little different. But when it drys the next morning it is slick, and no orange peal.
