how to patena paint job

can some one tell me the process to do this kind of paint....like the dib mazda on 22's

Paint it one color, then another, sand it in some areas with scotch brite pads in different grits.

Three are a couple of different ways to do it. You can do it with tintable primers, but primers are mostly porious. Not sure if that's spelled right. Which means it will allow water to seep down into your bodywork and metal work, you can use an epoxy primer but it will gum up your sand paper. The best way in my opinion is to use actual base the colors in which you prefer and make several layers of paint, after that you can go back with some 500 grit sand paper maybe even 320 and wet sand the entire truck, more in certain spots than others, this will give you a years of layers look, 320 might leave sand scratches so if you use 320 use a soft pad on a da and go lightly at it. After you get the look you want you go back with an good amount of flattening agent in a clear and the entire job will be nice and sealed at the same time! The more flattening agent you use the flatter it will look! Un my opinion that's the best way to do it, not sure what everyone else will chime in with!

Wow not really sure what the hell I was thinking, I just read what I posted, don't do it with that low of a grit it would be best to do it with 1000, 1500, or a scotch brite. Base is extremely thin and will cut quickly! So just ditch the whole 320, or 500 thing! Sorry!

An article I read on a "rat rod" styled truck, they primed in red oxide, then let it cure fully, sprayed rattle can black over the entire surface. let it tack up, then rubbed it all down quickly with a rag and some laquer thinner. then hit it all with some scotch brites and fine dry sandpaper.

Jamey told me they spent probably more time on the Mazda than a normal paint job would have been, spray whatever color you want it to be overall LAST, they sprayed a few different lighter colors, then the red oxide, and then sanded the red oxide off where they wanted it, and so on...and then cleared the truck....so i think they used basecoat not primer

Different shades of epoxy primer work best they keep it sealed up plus have the flat look and also have a really nice old look once u do ur sanding

So is that how they did the paint on the DIB Mazdawg? I dont know why but I think that paint looks badass. Kinda want to do the same on my Ram50.

i used the factory paint on my 88 toyota scotched it,dupli-color sandable primer over the factory stuff.before the whole process the truck had not been washed.bird shit,dirt,dead bugs,paint chips were all left on.primer the whole truck with one color @ a time,2 or 3 colors are enough.wait and let it dry for about two days outside to dry then wash the truck with soap and a maroon scotch-brite pad all of the stuff above will wash off.this will also rub someof the primer off.let it dry.then go over it with diffrent grits. instant patina!
