HOUSE OF KOLOR’S ART OF PAINTING
This may be the most important course on kustom painting you’ll ever take!
Painter Beware: If your base and/or clearcoat is not applied correctly, your valued paint job is headed for disaster!
This course will focus on the most important aspect of art: How to achieve and maintain the structural integrity of your paint job. Here’s just a sampling of some of the critical topics that will be addressed: The age-old myth that “It doesn’t matter what the paint job looks like, I’m gonna color sand it and buff it” (we’ll demonstrate and prove that bad looking paint is a sign of incorrect drying); how to avoid paint “dye back” (this occurs when the paint has too much solvent in it, thereby preventing the necessary sequence of solvent evaporation and the occurrence of cross-linking—the interruption of cross-linking is why a paint job won’t “gloss out”!); how to make your artwork last forever; swirl marks and orange peel; how the paint chemistries work; how to avoid over-clearcoating; color effects and their optical qualities; troubleshooting, and much more. Day One: Spray gun handling, control, selection, setup, adjustments, gun mastery, and maintenance (bring your gun if you own one). You’ll learn how to correctly spray to achieve various effects and maximize output using the ideal air pressure specific to any application. You’ll be able to recognize if your gun is working properly and adjusted to its targeted purpose under any climatic condition (high humidity, arid climates, cold conditions, and more). You'll learn the various critical air supply topics, including compressors, valves, and piping requirements. Day Two: Surface preparation, including safety, mixing, sanding, blocking, cleaning, and body filler and primer applications. Non- isocyanate products will be used in this workshop environment. Day Three: How to achieve a variety of effects using kandies, metallic sealer, a variety of iridescents, MBC metals, use of different flake types, including how to apply bigger flakes over smaller flakes, pearls over big flakes, etc. Start of the class project, and more. Day Four: Project continuation, including taping for design, masking, spraying against masks, layering, drying, fading, clearing/flow- clearing, and polishing..
