My Technique of Painting Wagon Wheels, Without Runs | Engels Coach Shop

Good job Dave 👏👍👌❤️

Another one of your amazing skills. Brilliant.

Amazing. He makes a skill look easy when in fact it is very difficult. Getting the right mix of paints, the smooth flowing strokes, the detailed attention, he is a master. Excellent job.

I love the sound of the tap disembarking from the roll, but I am not sure I would want to see and hear it again.

Nice looking wheels😊👍♥️

Always a learninng moment when tuning into Engels Coach Shop. Thanks for inviting me into the paint booth. God Bless you and Mrs. Engels.

A true artisan at work, and a beautiful color of red.

Very good system. I really enjoyed watching you.

I only do brushpainting, starting with complete spokes first as paint behaves totally different out of the brush.

Great job. Thank you 😊

Nice to see old school suction guns in use,,all that was around 35 yrs ago when i started my training,,i see you spray with a closed fan,i also hear and see your gun spitting,,think its time for a gravity fed gun,,.much more controllable and better finish,,more efficiency as well less paint used,also a lot easier to clean😉
Ps you can use a 2k solid auto paint,,just put some flex additive into it..ive used a lot over the years on fiberglass products..it never cracks

❤❤❤😍💪💪💪❤❤

Nice work Dave, and what a beautiful color!

Thanks for the tip on One Shot paint. I don't use paints often, as I build 18th century furniture with clear finishes, but when I do, I worry about the seasonal dimensional changes in the wood, causing cracking and peeling. I will definitely be trying this product.

I love the light/heavy coat approach, similar to how I do it, except I must use multiple coats to accommodate polishing out the finishes. I also note there is almost zero overspray, amazing.

I learn something every time.

Thank you for all the tips and instruction. I will try that brand of paint. I am sure my next round of bird houses will look a whole lot better.

Thank you for your time.

I really appreciate your showing this. I have 8 wheels to do for antique popcorn wagon wheels. I can see where a brittle paint would not be the best on wood. Especially, wood that is flexing as on wheels. What do you use for primer?

I love the sound of masking tape in the morning 😊
It just hit me, for a lark, add a Schrader valve to the back side of the fellows on one of the rubber tires, see if anyone notices or tries to add air 😅

If those wheels had not already had the rubber tires on them, would you have painted the wheels, then mounted the tires? Or done it the same way you showed here?

A lovely colour Dave and thank you for sharing. Great technique and I found I was counting spokes as well.

I'm co host of a Podcast in Columbus MT the Big Fat Podcast. We'd love to have you on!!!

Interesting... but only for a minute.

Thanks for sharing Dave! I always enjoy watching a master craftsman at work!!

The first thing I noticed watching you paint those wheels was the systematic applications. I started out in the Painting trade when I was 16 yrs old. (81 now) and I had a lot of mentors over the years and each one had his own idea's on how to do something. I remember on old guy I worked for B.G. Casey, I worked for him for couple years. before he passed. and I can remember him coming up behind me and tap me on the shoulder when I was painting a door. and he said "you know! its in the Painters Bible! "Edges First" my boy!" and just kept on walking by. Yep the little nuances of life's lessons. you sir! have a multitude of them Bless you for sharing them with us. God Speed. ECF.

I have never painted a wheel, but I learned some things!

Seriously gorgeous color :)

Thank you for the effort to record the painting. Brought back some memories for me, the retailer that I did maintenance for speced out chromatic paint for the metal man doors (102L fire red). We painted with brush & roller, I used a 3/16 nap mohair roller and added Penetrol to get it to flow, lay down, and get rid of brush strokes. The paint job lasted forever and didn't fade. The spec changed at some point, probably because of lead in the paint, and nothing else we tried ever worked as well.

fastest tape job i have ever seen

I was counting spokes when you were painting as well. 😂. The flow or reflection looked great as well. Thank you for sharing.

Dave ist ein großartiger,vielseitiger Handwerker ......schaue seine Videos immer wieder gerne an...

Add one more talent to the 100s of talents you have mastered and demonstrated on your channel. It will take 10 people to replace you when you decide you have had enough.

Really amazing all the background info. Who will carry on this mad knowledge? Quite a top notch job. As usual.
I thought the sign painting was giving away secrets! lol this tells all... respect. very useful to any looking for such info.

What beautiful looking wheels! Patience and careful prep; lessons we all can learn. Thanks Dave

What is the best brand of spray gun?

You rock.

Good job Dave, it looks like a big air brush when you have the nozzle narrowed down.

Beautiful finish. My most rewarding thing is pealing the tape and seeing the crisp ,finished lines.

Those are just beautiful!

Not impressed by the technique Dave, the gun should as much as possible held at 90° to the work, true a wheel is more difficult but your finish will have less paint at the end of each stroke on the spokes etc.

Great paint video. Looks great on wood wheels.

Beautiful work

There is watching paint dry and then there is watching paint dry from a master. This was a master class in skill, process, patience and excellence. Fabulous result.

for removing such long ends of masking tape I use a bit of dowel in a cordless drill, stick the end to the dowel and roll um up.

Thank you so much for allowing us to join you into the hallowed paint room, it's an honor.

Craftmaster Paint is a very good product for this job in the UK, specially formulated for canal boats and heritage locos.

Thanks ,you are a gem. I always told my son to share everything he knows with anyone who wants to learn. Sometimes a person may take the knowledge and advance himself with all the credit but in the end everyone in the plant will know what a good person you are.
