Paint Misbehavin Cloaking Cop Car Becomes A Reality

Mike Derfus from Sound Off Signal with Steve Flanagan at the filming of TLC’s New Hit Show Paint Misbehavin.

Mike Derfus came down from Sound Off Signal with a whole trunk full of goodies to equip the Escalade with everything it needs to transform into its black and white alter ego. On Thursdays episode of Paint Misbehavin on TLC we saw just what Mike and the guys were able to pull off, let’s just say it was a phenomenal job. The Escalade was definitely an intimidating beast when dressed out in black and white and the Sound Off Signal light bar, ghost lights and complete siren box, controller and mic added all the bells and whistles needed to really push this project “over the top”.
Mike and his crew came up with an ingenious way for Steve to be able to swivel the light bar on top of the vehicle so when it is in the off position is hardly even noticeable, and Jeff Mersey smoked out the lenses with some black and this thing was COMPLETELY hidden. When it came time for the unveil Steve hit the switch and the light bar swivels into position coming to life as the doors change and the Cloaking Cop Car becomes a reality. All this and more on TLC’s Paint Misbehavin. Now head on over to www.HardLifeStyle.com and check out the rest of these incredible shots.

Cop Car of the Future on TLC’s Paint Misbehavin

Steve Flanagan and the cast of Paint Misbehavin show debuted on TLC Thursday night a Color Changing Cop Car. This cop car is straight out of the future, with doors that heat up and trigger the Heatwave paint causing it to switch from black to invisible and revealing the completely detailed Hardway Patrol logo on the side of this futuristic black and white Escalade.

The day of the unveil Sean and Steve decide to take their new toy out for some real world testing. They go to a spot Sean knew was notorious for vandals and taggin’. Within minutes they spot a couple kids armed with spray cans wreaking havoc. They approach completely stealth with the truck all black and hit their switch. As the transformation begins we see the Heatwave paint disappear and the Hardway Patrol logo appear, once the transformation is complete the boys hit the lights and sirens and the taggers are off and running!

Automotive Custom Painting

Prepare Before you begin, check with local bylaws and regulations regarding the use of spray paint in homes and enclosed areas. The last thing you need is a legal holdup delaying your painting job.

Ice-T’s Bentley GT

Cleaning the car is your next crucial step. The car must be spotlessly clean and free of dirt. Use detergents to clean the car top to bottom, and then follow up with grease removers. After the car has been cleaned, it’s time to begin sanding. An air sander (preferably a dual-action sander) should be used to remove the old paint from the car. This kind of sander will not cause body damage because it removes paint without digging like other sanders and grinders. Every trace of paint must be removed to create a perfect palette for your new paint job. Automotive detailing tape or even duct tape can be used to cover and protect other parts of the car, including plastic moldings and windows. In addition to removing the old paint, all traces of rust have to be sanded off. Rust will spread if ignored or untreated, and the last thing you want is body rot happening beneath your new paint job. You can repair minor body flaws on the car’s surface using fillers. Shape the compound with care using a sanding board, then follow up with a glazing compound. This step will help to ensure a smooth-as-glass finish on your ride.

Mask

KMK DJ Bobby B “High Rider”

After the whole car has been initially cleaned, then sanded, a final cleaning takes place and the vehicle is ready to be masked. In this step, every part of the car that shouldn’t be touched by paint is covered and protected. Remember, you will be using high-grade automotive paint that doesn’t wash off with water. Cover your windows, every light and reflector, all window rubbers, all chrome, tires, wheels, door handles, wipers.. take a good look and what needs to be masked. If you don’t want even the tiniest bit of over spray on it, cover it up! The tools and materials needed for masking are available at automotive supply warehouses and hardware stores.

Finishing off

50 Cent Chrome Lamborghini

In finishing off the automotive painting, it is essential to achieve uniform color. The spray gun should be held ten to twelve inches away from the body to avoid streaks and runs. This is necessary when applying the basecoat, final coat and clear coat. Regardless of the type of car you drive, a new custom paint job can turn it into a real showstopper. Automotive painting can be a time consuming task, but you can do it if you take it step by step.
