This video will go into a simple true fire, keeping it very simple so as not to overwhelm beginners and those who are struggling to grasp the effect. My goal is to help those of you who are getting started.
There is still no other effect that has had as much of an impact on the custom scene ever since Mike Lavelle brought this effect into the mainstream limelight.
The Airspace is dedicated to all things atomized! Primarily focused on teaching airbrush tips tricks and techniques, as well as airbrush and related gear reviews!

I actually never got the hang of it right until i did a few small pieces then branched off from there. Im still not great at fire.. i can do ok. but its not a primary focus of mine. Its fun to do, and super cool however.

@@TheAIRspace I've had some success with green and blue fire but the real fire has been hard. I've had to throw an inter-coat to stop color bleed sometimes. I think I have been reducing my paint to much. Tonight I didn't thin it near as much and turned up my air and am having much better luck. Thanks again, I'll keep you posted.

One of the best true fire tutorials on KZfaq. Minor use of stencils,no repeats,good color transition and transparent fades with a natural looking flow. Great job Brudda.

Thank you! I struggled a lot with it when I started. And even taking a class, I didnt understand it. I had to go back and study fire a bit. Once I realized what was happening I was able to do it. I struggled with trying to put too much in a lot.

This was fantastic! Definitely less intimidating than the big ones. Love that you used a record to do it on. Great way to use records that are scratched. Putting ideas in my head

@TheAIRspace 4 жыл бұрын

I have about 100 unwanted records laying around. I had more. we have a used bookstore with things like Christmas special records nobody wants and can get them for about a dime a piece. I was painting a few things on records about 3 4 years ago. Definitely a cheap surface to put some cool things on.

I like that you kept it small. Like you said it can get really confusing when people are doing big pieces. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. You definitely deserve more subs. One of the best airbrush channels I know of. Luckily found you on here the other day while browsing.

Thanks Josh. Im hoping to grow a bit this year. But it is well known it takes time to grow on youtube. Especially those of us who started after they changed a lot of rules in 2019. It is what it is. But ill hit my 1k subs tomorrow I think. And the watch hours in a couple weeks. If I keep working it will keep growing. Not a lot of money to be made doing this either way. But im happy to be helping folks out : )

I've watched this twice now... (No slacking over here 😉😂😂😂) I've tried it several times, but no candy, and used Createx Detail colours thing with 4030 or 6000 instead, if you go careful it's possible... Now show me how to do it with two colours 😉😂😂😂🔥🔥 Congratulations on the 1k Subs 🎉🎊🎈🍾🥂 told you it wouldn't take long 🎨🖌️😎👍✌️

Actually I did fire with just red oxide and yellow. It is easier. Once I started using candy it was harder. BUT Candy does look better with clear on it. Candy REALLY comes on its own in the sun. BTW I do plan on making that no candy true fire tutorial sometime : )

As for long.. well it took a year. Of course i was spotty at times. Time to go harder at it, and do all the things I know would make it grow faster.

I love this.. I never could grasp the other videos I seen, but you took your time and I could understand better.. I think I will try again. But.. do you always start with red? I used white and I think that's why mine never looked good

Great video. New subscriber👍..I am moving into motorcycle tanks now. I know how to prep..but as for the best primer and base coat to use (at a decent price)..that will also be compatible with Wicked, createx illustration colors, and candy 2o..I dont know the 1st thing about. I have heard stories on airbrush paints not reacting well with certain base coats, and primers.

@TheAIRspace 4 жыл бұрын

I have never had an issue using any acrylics over urethane base. If I’m building a full paint job, After my primer layer I usually do autobourne sealer then build from there.. If I’m painting over an existing paint job, then it’s scuff and paint unless I have scratches to repair. I really have pulled back away from automotive work in the last year... because I stay somewhat busy doing pets and portraits. However more so in that I do not have a garage. I still occasionally bring a helmet or tank in, but I have to borrow space to clear... which can be difficult. However I’ve cleared a few things in a portable garage before 🙂

Little Sweets rustoleum white primer! Really awesome! Very durable never had an issue, I paint ice hockey goalie masks, and...I am a goalie myself. Lots of artists use rustoleum for primer

@jester1034 4 жыл бұрын

you mentioned using candy, I know they are transparent, but what are they used for?.. perhaps a video idea for the best times, or when to use candy as opposed to transparent pigments...? Trying to decide if i need to buy candy paints and when I would use them... Thanks!

@TheAIRspace 4 жыл бұрын

candy particularly when in sunlight after clear is more transparent and more vibrant. this wasn’t even cleared. Their is a downside they fade faster than other paints. and are not considered archival. there of course are other ways to achieve vibrant images. outside of fire, or doing work with ground panels and pearls, I don’t use them on regular art. But in sunlight with clear and in person they are definitely more vibrant. also because they are more transparent, you don’t lose any layers as you lay candies. whereas with a regular transparent it mutes the layers beneath. I am going to do a few more fire vids, some without candies. I just wanted this to be a super easy first step video. Although some other fires can be easier to do.
