@HowToPaintYourCar Hey tony i have seen other vids on you tube n when blending high metallics like silver i see as they start blending out they mix the base with a clear 50/50.Is this normal clear coat they use with the base

[ahawnt]

I had a rust repair and masked off an upside down "L" shape near the gas cap and blocked the guide coat off the primer. The layer of primer goes from 5" in front of the gas cap up to a wide curve in the pillar then down around the door jamb (back masked) then down to the bottom of the quarter panel. What's the best way to hide the sharp "L" transition line? (I have about 5 - 12 inches of OEM paint around it to work with).

Nice Video! One question. what´s your opinion about the specific blenders they sell for spot repairs. are they worth the money ? Or the over-reduced clear trick works just the same? Thanks

[HowToPaintYourCar]

@cherpa They do work. I've been using the reducer method for a while now with blending, and color sanding and buffing and I'm very used to it. The blender is basically the same thing but a different mixture. Try both and see what you like. Products VS cost.

Be cool!

I am a member of your F1cashformula. I am a professional auto body pep, and painter. And I've learned a lot of things of your videos. Really awesome vids and how tos for selling and buying cars..

[HowToPaintYourCar]

@costa83p That is awesome!! Thank you! and your not a member of the auto body club? :)

[costa83p]

I personally recomend after blending your colour, to clear the whole pilar. Cause for me anyways it saves the time of buffing out. But That's just my personal opinion, I do a lot of blending and buffing on bumpers, on panels I prefer clear coating the whole piece as of I could later sand and buff an Iperfaction. But awesome videos, Iike them keep up the good work

[HowToPaintYourCar]

@costa83p I agree... I had a VIP member who requested on how to do it this way... like a spot blend and I made this video to show what I would do. Thanks buddy!!!

[skoolboy44]

when I try this method it tends to get a little halo when its time to buff more on dark colors what do you think

[HowToPaintYourCar]

@skoolboy44 on the base coat or the clear?

[sped105]

TONY....lol if i move to california would you hire me,

[172jonno]

dont wet flat the blend area too much or the edge of the blend will draw back and become noticeable after polishing.

[HowToPaintYourCar]

@tpha84 There are two ways to do this. He wanted to know the BLEND clear way. Painting the entire pillar would be easier for newbies.

[ktpuawpainter]

i would recommend the devilbiss 503 gun for blending works great

[HowToPaintYourCar]

@ktpuawpainter cool!, I've used many guns for blending and if you have the right settings, you should have no problem with any guns. Thanks for the input!

its better if u base the body work.. then clear whole panel twice then u can cut and buff like usual... that 90percent reducer and 10percent clear is not goo specially for beginers too complicated.. when u put paper and tape at the clearing part more chance for mistakes

[HowToPaintYourCar]

@77petesgarage This video was an answer for (spot repairs) and for spot-repair, this is what you would do. I am actually making another video showing the guys how you would go about painting the entire panel.
