serum Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 perfect age to start. id say once you find out what you are really into im sure you will know if its right for you or not. curiousity is good but seeing it through is better. ive seen things through and realised that it totally wasnt working out while still trying to figure out plan b. atleast i have that thing checked that off my list. a million more things to go i guess.

soupBDC Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 As for using car paint I'll start with the gist and if anyone's interested in detail on something I'll be happy to give it. It's been a while since I shopped around for any of this stuff, so I may have to phone a friend if anyone's interested. -The paint: ppg paint's top notch. it's the brand of choice for every car company in the world. PPG offers color samples and codes for you to match and mix actual car company colors. -The booth: the spray booth is key to keep dust and other shit from contaminating the paint job. The booth requires a vaccum to pick up overspray from the air so it doesnt land on your shit. If you can't access a body shop's spray booth, you can make your own and cut costs depending on how big the object you're painting is. -The air compressor: choosing an air compressor takes a lot of market research. You need to find one powerful enough to use whatever gun or airbrush you want to use, and one that atomizes the air for better consistancy when you start spraying. -The gun: guns can be expensive so once again do your research. If you're painting your bike, you don't need to get a bigass gun and can get away with some of the mini guns on the market which are sort of midway between a spray gun and an airbrush. When buying a gun, ones with all-metal parts are choice, companies will use plastic pins inside the gun which make the gun less consistant in mixing paint and air, causing splatter effects and orange peel. Cleaning the gun after every use with paint thinner is crutial too. You must dismantle the gun and clean it out asap. -Technique: there's a few techniques to avoiding orange peel (texture like the peel of an orange, most cars on the road have it) and saving time, but if you spray too much at any stage of painting, you can always sand it down. Sanding just takes hours to touch up something you did in a couple minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soupBDC Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Dope. I'll use a simpler toy for directions how to make it. First is the prelimary sketch design. Remember your design has to be mold-friendly. You don't want bits getting stuck in the the mold or your toy and your mold is fucked. For the kaws toy the feet had to be glued on or put into socket. So he's got three molds, the body and the feet. The body is pretty self explanitory, one half of the mold is directly in front, the other in back, the seam running up the sides of the body and wings. The halves of the mold on the feet were probable on the left and right side, the seam running up the middle of the shoe. After you've sketched out your design, you're gonna want to make a cad sketch of the left side, front, top and bottom of the toy. It's got to be exact so maybe cad program or illustrator would be easier for you. Then you're going to buy a block of renshape from your local plastics store (round here it's TAP Plastics) or if you don't have one where you live, buy it online. Might be cheaper that way anyway. Using a can of spray adhesive (i recommend super 77) glue your paper blueprints to the sides of your renshape. If you've got access to a verticle band-saw you're good to saw out the renshape around your design. If not your best best's to get a dremel and coarse sand paper. A word to the wise would be to start wearing that respirator and sand outside. I'll interject here another tip. If you're going for symmetry, like kaws' toy, you can take that renshape and cut it in half using a band saw. With a black spraycan, paint the inside of one half of the renshape, then using super 77 glue it back together. That'll give you an exact black line of symmetry when you make your design. This whole process of cutting and sanding is time consuming, and you may make mistakes, but once you get close enough to the shape you want, get out some super-fine sand paper and start getting it as smooth as possible. Since i dont think you have access to a vaccum form machine, you can make a damn good mold using silicon resin and instacast.... I'm gettin sleepy here. I'll finish up tomorrow.
