  • This video should read, watch me apply base and clear. NOT how to apply base and clear. No given instructions at all! Dumb!

  • did you use a Scotch-Brite for the part of the car that's not primed to help the paint to stick on? I mean, for the part that has still the factory paint.

    Thanks from Greece

  • It looks like you gave it about 2 minutes between the 1st and 2nd coat of clear. Fast flash time?

  • How many times you are painting the same surface and how long time you have to wait for next painting?

  • Is that Sata 3000 rp?

  • im aabout to paint my first car. how do i avoid orange peel thanks

  • @robertdeuce Since you'll be doing this for the first time, it'll be hard to avoid orange peel. Orange peel isnt that bad, just somewhere about a month and a half after painting, you'll need to sand the car, then polish it.

  • is this a career u can do at a college?

  • wheres the triggering bro

  • when i spray the clear coat on, it always drips after about 1 or 2 minutes, so i have no idea how much or little to put on at the time im spraying, because i dont see the results until a few minutes later, and im not even really putting all that much on.

    How do i get around this? more hardener? hella thin coats?

    And also get orange peel in some sections and not in others, i think im painting fairly evenly though...

  • If I were the guy from saw, I'd force people to do this without a gas mask. 

  • I dunno man, I been painting for 16 years and my technique is way different, I got a clip of me painting on my page, but I think you was waisting a lot of paint when you didn't need to and the first coat of base was pretty heavy, I would of gazed a coat over the repair before smacking it that hard. But good job

  • so I was watching and wondering why your clear was splashing around in your cup? I thought that it was always good practice to hold your gun upside down and get all of the air out of the bag before shooting? I have noticed that sometimes usually with thicker paints, once you get down to the last of'r she gets paint starved a bit. Just wondering if thats why?

    thanks

  • u painted rims before did u scuff the rims or sanded it down to lay down the paint?

  • @77petesgarage

    Just scuffed them

  • The video Title should be change for How do i paint the car by myself, there is no any kind of explanation of how to paint it...! :(

  • can you tell me a good paint-thinner combination? like how many liters of paint for a liter of paint thinner? sorry for the english... not my main language. thank you. I'd like it fire red or deep black (super shiny) by the way. thhanks..

  • what kind of gun are you using?

  • Thats for the great work ! I really enjoy watching your videos!

  • Amazing work Jimmo :) Thanks to You i know how to repair paint on my vehicle :) Can You tell which pressure i have to set when painting clear coat with LVLP gun with 0,8 mm nozzle ?? Thanks !

  • how much paint is required to cover an entire car

  • @MrJreed1000

    Depends on the color, brand/type of paint, size of car. Typically anywhere from 1/2 gallon to a gallon and a half. Average car with BASF paint probably about 3/4 gallon at most.

  • is that a skyline?

    btw,i watch all your videos:)

    keep it up:)

  • Jimmo4life. I like your video how many years have you been painting for ??

  • Man i wish i could shoot clear like that great job!

  • it looks like you did not sand the whole thing. how is it possible

  • @woodyv00

    It was scuffed using a gray scotchbrite pad with a sanding paste (wet).
