#77014How to paint Y33 wood grain>>>
Ok fellas I thought I would right up a how to paint Y33 woodgrain..Step 1) Clean the surface thoroughtly with soap and water.
Step 2) You can sand the surface smooth if you want by using 250 grit sandpaper moving your
way up to 800-100 girt..
Step 3) Primor your part with a primer. I used a red/brown primer because I would be shooting a
brown base.
Step 4) Spray your first coat of cordova brown.
step 5) second coat of cordova brown
step 6) third and final coat of cordova brown
Step 6) Putting on the wood grain pattern. LEt me first off say that real wood is inperfect and
and no to peaces are exactly the same. When your duplicating wood grain don't get
cought up in it needs to look exactly the same as the other side or the other parts..the
patterns should be different so it appears more realistic in the end.
Poor some black opaque paint onto a plate. Get two plastic bags (gorcery bags) ready
scrunch the plastic bag into a ball like the one in the picture. Dab it onto the black
paint and apply to a test spot on like a peace of paper or paper plate. this way you can
lift off some of the black. Now dab the plastic bag with the black paint onto the part using
a swirling pulling method.(you may want to practice this first) Now get the clean bag and
press and wipe onto the paint you just applied lifting off some of the black paint..its okay
if you take off alot as this is a layering process to give depth. continue on until you
have reached a desired pattern you like.
Step7) Its time to use the air brush..if you dont have one use a thin paint brush.
Now use the same black paint and air brush burls into the grain..small large and medium
size..paint swirls,darken areas, paint deeper lines and dark spots..this all inhances the look
and gives depth.
Step 8) Time for a light coat of transparent red candy. THis will bring out the depth of the black
and bring out that brown..also when you snap photos this will also bring out that redish
look you get from the oem color.
Step 9) Clear COating. This will add that nice glossy look and protect your paint. Alos as you
spray the coats you will notice the colors get richer and deeper..First coat of clear
Step 10) Second coat of clear
