  • Oh my... I watched and followed your instructions from start to finish.

    I have always wondered how to get that glass shine. Always thought just primer, paint and clear w/out fine sanding the clear.

    I spray painted my MacBook out of boredom and it looks flawless and super shiny w/no orange peel.

    People complaining about using a spray gun etc.... This tutorial is for people like me who do not wanna go out n spend for that equipment. Although it did take me 2 weeks to finish, the time was wort

  • @royer2323 You see how easy it is , if you just have someone to show you how? That is what all my videos are about. Showing others what I know and putting it on video. I am glad to have helped. It makes , making these videos all worth it. Thank You. Randy Hoffman, DSD

  • try warming those spray cans in some hot water for 30 minutes and then shake them for another 5 minutes before spraying. the warmer paint should flow out better.

  • You should soak that sand paper in water for about 15 minutes before sanding.

    Just to help you.

see all

  • @royer2323 An honest question, not trying to be condescending or anything but if I actually get a spray gun, I can actually shave off 2 weeks of work?

    Would I need to sand it if I get a spray gun?

  • Try to use waterbased products (wipes etc) on anything that isn't clear coated ( Unless of course its a water based paint being used then steer clear of slovents!) or you'll get what he's talking about with the repair !

  • @algray628 uhm... if you look at other vids that other people did, almost all of their finishes have slight orange peel and they don't bother to fix it or don't really explain every step.  Even our brand new family car has slight orange peel! I watch this guy's final video before going back to watch the previous ones, it looks Space-age Smooth! It's almost as if it was transluscent colored chrome by the time he got finished with it!

  • @algray628 Ok algrey after sanding how you remove the white surface?

  • how do i sand out a major clear run and then reaply the clear
