[MsElisua]

For how long does the paint stay in a car ?

[IndieFrogStudios]

Why is the difference between THEN and THAN so difficult for Americans?

[jimmo4life]

@IndieFrogStudios

I have trouble with there and their's too .. lol..

[BigMeezyStyle]

@IndieFrogStudios It's really more of a Canadian problem.

[krl8814]

@IndieFrogStudios How about dose an does

[kmitchem4]

@IndieFrogStudios because your the only one that cares and noone else does!!! lmao! just deal with it jesus...just like a human...rather bla bla about spelling than the message being delivered...no wonder america is dumber than ever!

[IndieFrogStudios]

@kmitchem4 You used the wrong 'your', which is pretty common mistake. You want to use 'you're', which is a contraction of 'you are'. Commonly this is taught around elementary school.

[shadow0imposter]

@IndieFrogStudios because we speak american not english

[MsElisua]

HOW LONG. THE PAINT CAN BE AT THE CAR 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 YEARS??? OR MONTHS?? JUST WANT A DO IT AT MY CAR!!! :-)

[customspraymods]

Pretty good info, I have a video on doing it with a spray gun.

[nfamous14]

[mirwais70]

Dude - good job for trying ...but frustrated the heck out of me as i could not hear half of what you are saying...next time, hook the microphone to your collar ! no echo and clear

[1Jupe]

this was up loaded on my birthday!

[jimmo4life]

@1Jupe

Just for you brother lol

[sikhjatt91]

How much do u think they would charge to paint a large suv black

[W857TYWH408576NW0348]

can't hear you mate.

[jimmo4life]

@W857TYWH408576NW0348

ya, sry.. I've got some new and better equipment for video's now. Future ones should be better...if i get time i'll try and post up some caption..lol

[1993Revhead]

@W857TYWH408576NW0348 I can here him just fine!

[MegaKookoko]

Grate bro..

[sonysoly]

luv ur work man.

[derzua]

I like your video but I am concern about your health. That stuff is very toxic (some of it even deadly) and you are not wearing any protection or a respirator. Take care of your lungs and the toxic levels on your skin by wearing a paint suit, gloves, and an air filter mask.

[75bAdam75b]

@derzua ive painted tons of things and afew cars like this and i worn nothing im still alive and kicking,

[DeAnnaAkol]

also the size sanders for what?

[DeAnnaAkol]

what are te items or mixtures you use for filling in the dent?..i could hardly hear u.

[smithjo4152]

Thank You for the quick respone. I wam going to paint my entire car. So when would I start sanding and with what grit? So Once I primer, find the low spots, fill the low spots, sand and smooth using 360 grit, then primer again? Then wet sand the primer to make smooth to receive the spray paint?

[verblvik]

Jimmo great stuff man. I work in a shop and I like your vids because you use most of the techniques we do lol. Keep it up even though I do thing like this all day I still have a great time sitting here watching your stuff thanks.

[smithjo4152]

Could I paint an entire car with this tecnique? When would I use the 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 and 3000 grit papers? Do I wet sand between paint coats?

[verblvik]

@smithjo4152 You would want to use 1000-1500 when you want to wet sand a scratch out (1000 if you are bold and have done it before) 2k will refine the other scratches more so they are easier to buff out. 3k In our shop we use after 1500 to make buffing WAY faster, we also use it in conjunction with 2000 to make clear blends.

[Pendemic]

Hi Jimmo

I did basically the same thing you did here except I sprayed epoxy primer with an HVLP gun prior to painting with my spray can. The problem I'm having now ist aht it seems as though the body filler/primer has shrunk and the body work can be seen a lot clearer now.

Is this because I didn't wait like 24-48 hours before spraying my color or just shoddy body work? I was told to wait to let the fillers contract etc...but you didn't do that in this video?

What did I do wrong/what gives?

[PBballer23list]

@Pendemic From what I know, It's bad body work. Primer / body filler will shrink overtime so the more you use the worse it will look in the long run. You want to have to use very little body filler and have the body already as straight as possible.

[Pendemic]

@PBballer23list

Thanks.

Do you usually wait after shooting primer/filler to let it shrink overnight or do you just continue onto the next step?

[PBballer23list]

@Pendemic Sorry I cannot answer that, I am not experienced in painting cars. I do not think that primer will shrink that fast. I would let the filler sit at-least overnight before priming.

[Pendemic]

@PBballer23list

Thanks. I thought it was Jimmo that replied to my comment hahah sorry.

Yea it's just weird because in all his videos it just seems like he goes and sprays paint right away and doesn't let anything shrink.

[Jx1x3]

Where can I buy that clear coat from?

[imPRETA]

@Jx1x3 hi you can get it in automotive paint store and i think is about $20 usd

[rodonyou]

Great video! Thank's....

[eric31291]

is this catalyzed clear easily buffable and please what is the difference between fillers, glazes and putty? do they adhere to different surfaces, which ones?

[ps3Zachman666ps3]

i spray painted my hood and now you can see the lines from the clear coat and some spots are brighter then others, will it buff out all shiney or am i fuc*ed?

[PaperTowel1101]

Too much echo. But other than that, I found this to be helpful. But you make it look too. damn. easy. >:D

[thomascolin12]

@skyninja13 I blew it.. oh yea thats what she did

[diablo9769]

Great video

[spiderroot]

what is that black square that is used after primer at minute 10:44 ?

[gafastrc]

Thank you!!!! Bless

[charmer888]

Awesome Job!

[Greddy1331]

Good post I have a bumper I painted this way I used ur vid to guide me I spent about 2 hrs and maybe 45 dollars in material and it looks amazing maaco wanted 245 dollars to paint it glad I tried it I need to redo my sideskirts soon thanks again for the vid

[iakazul]

Thanx for posting this video! My car needs paint bad and I don't have the money to pay Earl Scheib or rent a booth so this will be how it's done. A case of cans with some clear. Nothing fancy but should keep my old heap from rusting away. Maybe when I hit the lottery I'll have it done right but this is how it's going to get done.

[nortonfan100]

Your videos are great, Jimmo, but the sound quality does not make it easy to understand what you are saying on account of the echo in the shop. Not sure what I would do about it. In any case, thank you for posting your great videos.

[marc666foryou]

Nice video, very helpful. Nice butt by the way.

[messylaura]

i'm a pro beater and sprayer, rattle can jobs can look just as amazing as gun jobs, the big factor in this is the technique rather than the materials.

anyone doing a rattle can job for the first time, get an extra can and see what happens if you spray a test panel too heavy and too light, then you know where you are at on the job for real

same with the clear, better to have orange peel than to risk getting loads of runs trying to get it smooth

orange peel is easy to polish out, runs not so

[nsairbrusher]

2k without fresh air? Does the can kick up much of a death cloud?

[kswain1080]

hey bro can you do a video on setting up a spraygun with a sheet of paper on the wall .  thanks bro

[punkking89]

thanx man.. reli good stuff.. there was a lil bit of echo in voice. anyways if u can keep the mic closer to u next time it would be great and also put annotations when you use different products.. thanx again.

[MrLamborghinikid]

@punkking89 nice job I like the paint booth what brand is it I'm getting ready to get one

[punkking89]

@MrLamborghinikid not sure mate ask the channel host..



[blacktaipaisun]

that's excellent man. seeing it done step by step really helps me spray my own car. many thx

[steverid]

Why is it that there is always one douche who just has to hit "dislike"? I mean really, if the video were offensive in some way....which it isn't....then fine...hit the stinkin' dislike tab....but c'mon...it's jimmo4life. How could somebody not like his vids?

[tomduncan1970]

Great video jimmo..... I didn't think it was possible to get such great performance out of spray bombs....

We appreciate your videos!!!

[FbodyCrazy]

I love these videos and want to attempt my own paint job one day soon here. What I never see answered though is what does a guy need to paint a car in his garage? I was trying to find out for instance, what size compressor would I need to get the job done, no more and no less. There are so many opinions on this alone that I'm more confused now about it that I was before. Hook us up with a getting started video jimmo4life!

[harlowpr]

when you're using the scruff pad, is faster if you have the sanding paste

[reaperwayne]

Great vid man thnx very much

[krikke666bass]

good vid man!

it was very informative, thnx!
