What happens here

After applying the first light coat of paint, a heat lamp or IR heater is used to accelerate the drying process. Once the paint is tacky but not fully dry, additional thin coats of white spray paint are applied. This process is repeated until the desired opacity and coverage are achieved for the 'MFHoodrich' lettering. The video suggests multiple light coats are better than one thick coat.

Goal: Build up paint coverage for durable lettering

What they say

Really speed it up if you had a heat gun. There's got to be a heat. There's a little IR heater thing over there. Go get it, Dale. Be very, very quiet. Wheel hatching tires. Don't let it get too cold or the eggs will die. I won't. I'm a good mama. Oh, did you glass it over real nice? Oh, yeah. It's super shiny. All right. I got the big I got the big old fatty one ready to go here. I had it hanging on the back of the cart right here, but it's a little too low. Pretty close. Still tacky, but suck it, Cole. Let me take this off. Okay, boys. It's the grand reveal. I'm pretty excited. I'm not going to lie. I did three coats. Uh well, Mitchell did the first coat real light, just kind of dusted it on and then I put it under the the heat lamp and then once it was a little tacky. Do you think it's enough? Looking at looking at the light here, the top of the MF looks like it might be a little light. I mean, we could do more. You do another coat. That's three solid coats. So, no, actually, yeah. What do you think? Uh I think it's good to go, man. All right, let's rip it off.
