I interpreted "yourself" in the title of this video to be a DIY job; when it clearly isn't. Years ago I had an attempt at body repairs on my old rusty mini, and even with guidance from a pro at the time, it ended up looking like crap. You're obviously very good at what you do, which is probably why you make it look so easy... and I know; it isn't!
This is Diamont Solvent basecoat. How do your preferred methods differ? Ya the guns in this are older, but so is the video.I thought I had a popup indicating pressure but maybe not. What training center are you at?
If you buy the cheapest plastic you can get your hands on, then yes the paint will flake off onto your job. If you put the plastic on the car with "this side up" facing down, you will flake paint onto your job. If you buy decent plastic, with the correct side facing out, you will not have a problem. You will also cut down on your masking time buy just doing a 2" perimeter tape, with the plastic to the tape.
when you prepared it in 2min 30s it was still shiny there is no way it was done. when we prep for clear at work we use 800 grit paper 1000g and grey scotch bright and it takes more then 2 min
Sorry Friend, all my video's I thought had automatic approval. I like comments, especially negative ones..lol...its just been changed...no censorship here.
FIRST, I CANT DO THIS INSIDE MY GARAGE,SO I HAVE TO RENT A SPACE FOR IT
THEN,BUY ALL TYPE OF PAINT, DRESS FOR THIS KIND OF JOB,MASK, PISTOL,COMPRESSOR,ETC,ETC, THEN, TIME. WOW, I THINK IS BETTER PAY TO WHO KNOW THE JOB,AND THOSE WHO WENT TO SCHOOL AND SPEND MONEY TO GRADUATE. I THINK ITS BETTER PAY FOR THIS JOB.
AND ITS GONE AMAZINGGGGGGG o_0 nice job now what would u recommend for painting a whole car. at home! by erm well myself! i would like to save money equipment etc?
There are several errors that our class has seen in your attempted "blend within the panel" When you are blending, don't you usually leave some of the original paint next to the adjacent panel? Where is the paper perimeter making so the plastic does not "shake" the paint off. Why did you clear entire panel when that was not needed on the first coat of clear coat? Just sayin....
ha, that's awesome my video got to be picked apart by a class! lol ... yes the last coat got a bit further then I'd of liked it to, it had more binder added in to increase transparency so if it made it to the edge color impact would be minimal. In the real world some things don't go as planned (i.e chasing a halo). Never had the plastic shake paint off, that's a pretty minimal concern but what can I say...sometimes ya just gotta grow a pair and roll the dice...lol
Now, since I used the base toner (BASF's BC100) as an orientation coat to help control the metallics and blend the color easier, it is then required 2 full coats of clear be applied over it to prevent the sun from breaking down the pigment in the BC100 which could cause a discoloration. I could have used an over-reduced clear rather then BC100 in which case only 1 coat of clear would have been acceptable (still 2 coats over any applied basecoat), but personal preference, either way
@kbjerke279 kbjerke your right about the paper i did that ONCE had the plastic right up to the panel and when i shot my clear some of the dried base shot onto the clear
The first cc has to be also a full coat. And 1 layer bc less will make the cc shine better. Because more bc will soak more cc making it look matte. ;)
circular sanding motions with ALL sanding methods should be used, you can eliminate A LOT of theses steps just by using a circular motion and still get a gorgeous paint job. Many of you will say that is not true, but in reality, the many of these steps are used to cover up the "back and forth" scratches made with the block sander.
fabulous work....but why fix the fender without fixing the bottom bumper.... has a very visible area where paint has flaked off...maybe the owner was hard up for cash...
Love the movie...i`m a selflearned carbuilder that would love to learn more about bodywork on cars..what about makin a movie about the pain gun..how wide the nossle need to be for the different paintjobs and the spreading off the paint...??
this is a paint body shop, not a how to do it yourself . not with all the professional equipment and 20 paint coat and sanding. change the video name.
I need to paint a plastic side view mirror white ( it came in black) and I heard that I should use a promoter first then primer, and paint. Does that sound right to you? I can't afford to get it done professionally right now. Thanks
I can't say enough. This is the most professional job I have ever seen. All paint shops should learn from this. Thank you brother; much love to you for posting this video. Now I can emulate your techiques and do a better job on my own cars.
The damage was very small but he painted the whole panel! Wouldn’t it be easier to just stick a sticker on it (something like “I Love NY”) and make the car even trendier for a dollar?
i like this video it helped man thanks alot but just a few minor things, does the final coat of paint need to dry before applying the clear coat?...so a small recap, correct me if im wrong, sand the whole car down and apply filler where needed, sand all applied filler until its feather edged and blended properly to the metal and then apply prime then paint and clearcoat?..and this is off topic but is sealer an absolute MUST? and is it expensive stuff?
Nice work. I got a Fox Mustang I want to paint. I don't want to pay a shop thousands of dollars when I'm sure I can do it. Hardest part will be finding a suitable location to do it without interuptions :)
Thanks for the videos. Very helpful. I see that you put down three coats of the base and two of clear. Now, would it be beneficial to have more lighter-medium coats of each, rather than a couple of just wet coats (for both the base and the clear)? I have also heard that some people will set down a couple of clear coats, let it dry overnight, wet sand and then re-clear again. What is the benefit of this and would the clear be shot after sanding and cleaning or would you have to polish first? thx
nice job! I'm thinking about respraying my whole car in the future... depends if i keep it or not. In the meantime I'm going to be repairing some minor dents and scratches and this video helped me a lot. thanks! :)
I have done a bit of auto painting before. And I'm getting ready to paint my 40 ford pickup. Two tone black on top and green on bottom. It is going to be a base coat clear coat. I have been told that the base coat is just the color and it is the clear coat that makes your paint job. I was planning on using nason paint and Transtar High gloss clear on it. And a lot of wet sanding (from 2000 grit to 3000 grit) how close will that get me to it looking wet all the time?
@rcknrolfender79 I paint every day. Doing a 40 Ford truck. If you are using Dupont Nason Paint then i would use Dupont Nason Clear. Transtar wont last as long.You can but shouldnt mix producks. After the base is on and it looks good put on 2 med wet coats. trust me wet sand with 1500 and then buff. wasting time going to 3000. You can sand clear with 600 and then clear again. will realy git it deep. Good clear is the key high solvent is what lasts.
@MstrKey its only a air compressor, and spray can attachment for the end of the hose, which isnt much at all, besides the paint, mask, covering plastic, tape. ect.( which is also really cheap)
@demondude4444 Well if you already have the compressor I guess it's ok. I don't....so that's at least a couple hundred there. Plus the rig. You can get a decent paint job at macco for about the same. However, that being said, one could also make money if they invested in all that gear :) Repairing other people's cars lol.
hey i wana fix a crack in my bumper and paint my bumper perl white again. what kind of items do i need. and do u have video to show me how to fix a cracke bumper?
hey i have a small spot on my door. Would i be okay just using touch up spray paint and then clear coat..because for the price of that air gun i could have every little thing fixed on my vehicle by a professional
how to paint your car yourself, wtf. are you tripping dude sha, as if we all have access to all the specialist gear your using. this clip should be called how to paint your car in a well equiped bodyshop. LET ME SEE YOU DO THIS ON A STREET IN THE SUMMER WITH BUGS ALL OVER YOUR WORK.
Wow very good...But I want to know the interval time between sanding the filler and applying Primer... And also the interval between 1st coat of primer, 2nd coat and 3rd coat. Also the Base coats...thanks...
@mamad68 i know this is kinda late but i just watched this video.. Yea you can paint it anywhere, just put alot of plastic down to kinda keep paint off shit and so dust and paint doesn't mix on your kit. then just paint..
A sanding Paste, This one was RM 851. Its main purpose is to work as a lubricant to keep your pad sharp and cutting...think like a shaving gel and a razor. It also works to clean and contains a mild acid to help with adhesion. Some can also degrease..many to choose from.
Nice work! I'm no body repair man, but this is an impressive video both in how well you made the video and with the nice step by step instruction on this repair process.
Hey good work. Nice vids. I been spraying for 10yrs now and i can say we spray similar although i prefer Satas over anything. The only thing I dont like what you were doing, not that its wrong, but the wet scuffing with the paste. I have 3 tubes in my cabinet from 6yrs ago never used. Im a dry prepper. keep the vids coming though. by far the best instructional vids on autobody.. for example.. Hi IM Doug.. keep it bro
Yea, i would DA with 800grit and then catch my edges with a grey scuff. I love doing it that way.. espeacially in a face pace production shop that i work in. it cuts the prep process in half. u just gotta watch out for them sharp body lines cause u will break through.

demondude4444 1 year ago
@MegaMeng86 you didnt let your sealer or your first coat set up long enough or you had contaminants in your paint

What was the white bottle thing you put on scotchbrite pad for pepare blending?
atchariyakornchai 2 years ago
A sanding Paste, This one was RM 851. Its main purpose is to work as a lubricant to keep your pad sharp and cutting...think like a shaving gel and a razor. It also works to clean and contains a mild acid to help with adhesion. Some can also degrease..many to choose from.

very nice it me agen well im bryan im 23 n i paint cars also but can u tell me abit more about the sealer n orientation coat ??
plz thx
brys2500 2 years ago
The sealer is urethane based 2 part primer that provides a better foundation for the paint.
The orientation coat is clear basecoat that fills in minor scratches from the preperation to give you an easier surface to blend across.

Nice work! I'm no body repair man, but this is an impressive video both in how well you made the video and with the nice step by step instruction on this repair process.

Hey good work. Nice vids. I been spraying for 10yrs now and i can say we spray similar although i prefer Satas over anything. The only thing I dont like what you were doing, not that its wrong, but the wet scuffing with the paste. I have 3 tubes in my cabinet from 6yrs ago never used. Im a dry prepper. keep the vids coming though. by far the best instructional vids on autobody.. for example.. Hi IM Doug.. keep it bro
spha87 2 years ago
Thanks, ya the wet stuff isn't for everybody for sure. How would you typically prep a blend panel? DA with a fine paper and scuff the edges dry?
jimmo4life 2 years ago
Yea, i would DA with 800grit and then catch my edges with a grey scuff. I love doing it that way.. espeacially in a face pace production shop that i work in. it cuts the prep process in half. u just gotta watch out for them sharp body lines cause u will break through.
