A friend of mine used to work at a shop and told me he would paint my car but I need to buy my own gun and paint. I was hoping you could tell me where I can buy one? Thank you

I have that same dust mask, but I cant find replacement filters, have you found any online companies to buy replacement filters? My current only option is to buy a whole new mask for $35 and I would really like to find just filters to save some money. Problem the autoparts stores here sell one full mask with filters, then sell replacement filters for a different kind of mask. wtf is wrong with their buyers?

@Mikej1592 Sorry, I don't know of a site. I Just buy a new mask for paint and use the old one for dust. I get a new mask every 2 weeks. Thanks for watching.

maybe you can explian it to me, but why wash the car and go over it with a red scrub pad when you have sand the whole thing any way with 600 grit?

[mcqueenpaint]

@Mudfish4X4 By doing this first you are removing the contaminates(wax,oils ect.) that would give you fish eyes and other horrible problems while painting. If you just started with 600 dry then you are driving those contaminates deeper into the clear making it harder to get them out later. It also sands way faster if you follow that first step(Wash with a scuff pad). Make sure your edges are scuffed good to. Thanks

How do you keep dust from landing on your new paint job when wet?

[mcqueenpaint]

@mrwebber35 Spray and Pray. A fan helps a little to.

Just got ur DVD on the mail, thanks for the fast shipping.

I have two question about your DA, What PSI are you using and Do you set the PSI while holding down the DA's trigger?

[mcqueenpaint]

@Tenoch We set the DA speed while holding the trigger and you just want a nice calm hum. If it feels like its gonna shake your hand off, turn it down until its comfortable to hold while sanding. Thanks and If you have any more questions let me know.

[Tenoch]

Do you prep the bumper the same way as the metal parts of the car?

I've got a silver bumper that I want to paint white. Thanks.

[mcqueenpaint]

@Tenoch yes, Thanks for watching

[Ivzbel]

very cool video man, one question can you do all that sanding by hand? xD cuzz i dont think I can get my compressor to run a DA sander

[mcqueenpaint]

@Ivzbel Yes you can, it will just take longer. You can use 600 grit or 800 grit wet sand paper with water. Thanks
