Custom Paint How To: Lowrider Custom Paint, Candy, Lace, Fans, & Fish Scales. See How These Classic Looks Are Created.

Whether you are a lowrider fan or not, you have to appreciate the insane amount of paint work that goes into some lowriders. I grew up in Northern California, where there was a very strong lowrider scene, and lived in SoCal for years as well which also has a great lowrider scene. I’ve always liked them, would love to own one, and I appreciate the paint schemes whenever I get to see one. Panel paint, Candies, Lace, Fans, Fish Scales, and so much more are common on these incredible paint jobs. And in this video you are going to see how they all come together and are laid out.

My favorite lowrider paint jobs are those that have panels and lace with candies, but the fans and fish scales and the like all go together as well. So watch the video below to see all these things coming together on a set of motorcycle saddle bags. It’s a small scale project which makes it easier to demo the layout process and that’s what I dig about this video.

Video Description:

This how-to covers the various textures and airbrush styles you can include into an Lowrider theme custom paint job. In the custom paint & motorcycle world Lowrider style with lace fan and fish scale patterns and others are huge. Elaborate tape outs, pin-striping, mural work, gold leaf, are just some of the items used in this style. Since Im doing one such paint job on a @harleydavidson I figured I’d do a complete how to of three popular themes as well and sequential masking and candy paint techniques.
