I think all the prep paid off. The car came out exceptional. I remember spraying whole cars back in the lacquer days. I also remember wet sanding and buffing the vehicle because it was sprayed in the home garage. No Internet. No UA-cam. Just learned from trial and error. Thanks for taking the time and bringing us along. Enjoy your evening.
Yeah I've been messing with epoxy and it really is a challenge to get anything totally clean. There's always some spec of dust floating around. I was almost surprised to see that's an issue in a professional environment, but I have thought about a clean room and how hard that is to keep dust free. Especially for painting it's even harder with all the dust, very well done for sure.
Even from factory it wouldn't look that good. Overall amazing result and video. Love all tips and tricks along way. Just satisfying to watch and learn each time. 😁👍
I'm new to all of this. I try to follow Eastwood's video and plan my spray. I even do a dry run out two to make sure I know how it feels and how it my movements will be. I start from the top though. Like in the Eastwood video. Like I said, I'm not a pro. Anyhow, thank you for the video. There's so much information and tips that really can take your automotive painting game to the next level. You are a very gifted teacher and it really shows in these videos. Be blessed and stay safe.
These kinds of results should never come cheap unless you're doing it for the wife or for your mom. I watched the video again because I remembered so much going on here. A customer who cares about having their car all one color after it's been recently repaired are rare and for the most part aren't afraid to spend the money. It would have been great to record the customer do a walk around,seeing the expression on his/her face. I'm sure the owner is more than pleased with the final results. Great video.
Brian much appreciate your videos! I don’t have the expensive equipment but I watch your videos take my time and I paint in my garage at home, I’ve won multiple 1st place awards at car shows with my charger!
I really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for educating those who don’t know that overall paint jobs are not easy or cheap it adds up on too many little tasks I’ll never paint a whole car again for less than 5k. I can’t do half fast job. Your paint job speaks for you.
I always do a cross coat by actually turning the fan nozzle not tilting the gun. I sprayed business jets and certain areas have to be smooth within .003-.005” inch in front of the static ports for accuracy. Cross coats are the only way to achieve that without block sanding or buffing. On cars I still use that technique to prevent zebra striping and when I sprayed houses it was super important to eliminate zebra stripes and get the correct wet mil thickness for warranty coverage and UV durability here in the South
Hey bud good job I'm a painter aswell I just painted a fairlane zc all in one go with another painter need 2 for big jobs lol I painted it with gunmetal grey from new subaru colour met pearl and dam it come out good used cromax cromma clear absolutely impressive clear coat 20:18
Great video Silvers and also Charcoals can always be tricky. Definitely the prep for silvers them metallics will find the smallest scratch to lay in. Last week did 4 silvers in a row though for sure I pissed the paint Gods off Lol. The only place was the hoods that gave me problems in the past. First pass horizontal second vertical then orientation coat. Always slow reducer a must. That’s what I found works for me on a complete. I’ve learned spray it don’t play with it just because it’s Silver. Can’t be dusting here dusting there thinking you see something you don’t. Just spray it like you say it’s only paint. So you like the Sikkens system Noble been treating me pretty good just got there Valorem system put in my shop a couple months ago. Best sealer I’ve sprayed lays down flat. Camera is also pretty good. Only problem with Noble there metallics are always to course. Always have make adjustments on formulas. Sprayed there Imperium same problem. You have that problem with Sikkens? But once again great video. Can always learn keep an open mind that’s how I feel about this Industry.
Hey buddy Thank you so much for all the information I really appreciate it you’re the kind of man that only comes once in a lifetime Keep up the good work!!! Many thanks brother
Would you paint a candy base coat the same way you did this job? I want to experiment with a candy red and black and a silver metallic two tone on my old Ford truck.
@@albertchavez2693 that can vary so much depending on what the owner wants and what the vehicle needs to get there. There is no given number.

I restore tractors and getting in all the nooks n crannies can be a b but getting it clean is hard too some have 50 years of dirt and grease on them is important also
The title of this video brought back memories. I had people bring daily drivers for estimates and they acted like I should consider it an honor and privilege to work on their car. For those folks early on,I learnt to price the job out of their reach on purpose. I knew they would nit pick the few imperfections they would find. No thanks.
Ohh crap, that silver car looks so good and smooth... you can paint better than OEM. I still have some undercoat on my single stage 91 Mustang GT when it was new, still spot on car I never buffed out on original paint. Love your video's.
Hey Brian, back in March I painted a car silver metallic and cleared it with Acme Finish 1 FC720 and FH612 medium hardener. No issues until today when I spilled some gas while pumping and it bubbled up the clear and paint right below the fill hole on the quarter panel. Did I do something wrong? Not enough curing time? Do you have any videos that address this kind of issue? Thanks in advance.
The comment about the first toner being at 666 was hilarious. I can't tell you how many times I've done that too over the years, i always dread it lol. Awesome video Bryan, they are all great videos that I show to my students often in class. We are currently block sanding hoods and will be spraying them over the next few weeks.
Quality mate as always 👍 I’ve done hundreds of all over resprays over the last 35 years and still they can kick your butt at times :) but like you say time and taking care you achieve the jobs just like yours there buddy which are awesome 👍👍👍👍
Great tips and a nice looking paint job. I didnt know silver was so finicky, glad i didnt have to find out first hand. I'll take extra care painting silver
Brian could you split a pickup truck job into two stages and still get good results with a metallic silver. If I painted the bed on one day and the cab another it would reduce my stress and the clear wouldn't fog up the garage so bad. I just used PPE and a box fan and filter and that worked OK for the base but the clear fogged up the garage pretty bad.
Break up the clear to avoid poisoning yourself bro thats totally fine but avoid breaking up the base as silver dont play nice and can lay metallic poorly if you don't spray exactly the same way
It always gets me when I get people that think I paint cars for 100-500$ 🤣🤣🤣🤣 People really don't have a clue what it actually takes. You displayed exactly why paint Jobs aren't 500-1000 anymore!

silver is really hard i remember when we painted my 66 Mustang GT drop top how much prep and time it took but the end results were concours level perfect. prep and taking your time really is key. I see so many bad silver paint jobs on the roads and it drives me nuts seeing all the tiger stripping and mismatch with panels due to bad technique..
im working up the nerve to paint my 99 wrx. ive ordered paint and watching every video you have like a madman 😅 ive bought a 4x6 meter outdoor gazeebo to use as my paint booth. hoping it all goes well when I start prepping the body
I have a vehicle that I want to paint flat (non metallic) light sky blue. It'd be easier for me to paint it panel by panel, will that work for a non metallic paint? Also, I was planning to do it two weekends; instead of one to save on vacation time. Will it still come out looking good/ok, or should i realy just eat the vacation time and do it all in one go?
I used to paint in a spray booth that leaked water from the roof, it was a struggle in rainy days. What I would have given for your set up, slick work. Even Earl Scheib had a better booth with no ups and no extras at $99.95 😂😂
Looks great, your a god in the paint world thanks for all the hard work, question when are u going to paint a car with the new Tesla ultra red paint on a car ??
Great job! I have a 1995 Mercedes E class with original 040 single stage that I need to repaint. Would like to keep to the single stage cause the black looks sooo deep but everyone I speak to tries to talk me out of it. Glasurit has a classic car product line where they mix clear in the base for the final coats. Any experience with that?
Single stage or base coat/clear coat looks nice and can be buffed well. A lot of high end guys do single stage, then clear coat over it. It's all matter of opinion, but I think that is going to give you the most depth in the paint.
I am just curious to know the price. I myself the lucky one that all of my cars were brand new and doesn't need a paint job. For me 8K just don't justify for a complete paint job because I would pay that 8k towards to another new car and call it a day. Oh well, that's just me.@@DJV94022
I have a question I’m using a high gloss clear 4:1 with a slow hardener and I’ve adjuster my air down up down and every time I am spraying dry the clear is not laying even any tips to try and help me resolve this issue ? I’m using a sata 4000 thanks in advance 🙏

Hi Brian, Been watch your video's for awhile. I'm just starting to prep my silver 68 mustang for a full repaint. I only use email for the most part and would love to ask a couple questions about prep and paint. Is there a way to send you the small list of questions other then using the comments to talk back and forth. Not sure if there is a email address that I can use. Love your video's and I would make my questions quick. Just need to check a few items. Thanks very much for any time you have.
I wouldn’t over reduce the slow to help slow down the dry time.. it will reduce the color coverage of the base to much. You can put your first two coats on and then over reduce it a little for your final drop coat but if you don’t normally spray that way I’m not sure it’s a method for a do it yourselfer because you don’t want to cause other problems for yourself. I would have them order the extra slow or just spray it with what they have
@@bodyshopsolutions695 yes i usually spray that way. however since i’m spraying in an open garage some really hot summer days i will start to get sand piling and grittyness.
Hi there! Have you any issues with mapping. Primer is sanded well and after few coats of solvent base the edge is showing up and need to use dry sand. Every time that happens. What can cause that?
@@PaintSociety Yeah.. Im waiting till primer will go matt and always stay away paint from masking tape. Before primer sanded with 320 disc. Its like the paint building up on the edge of a primer. I would make u pictures on every step if thats not a hassle for you🤗
Brian, what's the typical full respray job cost? I'm trying to get a realistic expectation for my 95 Civic. I like the OEM orange peel but some shops can't get it right.
@@HiFiInsider yea I’m on east coast where things are a bit more reasonable price wise. Shops that have a good bit of overhead here would charge 5-7k for a paint job on a civic but I’m a lone wolf and no overhead
@@HiFiInsider make sure youve got good respiration/air circulation for the stripping. the strippers that really bite the paint and work quickly have a lot of nasty life-threatening chemicals that you wanna filter out. and once youre done stripping, you'll need new cartridges for your respirator. you definitely dont wanna reuse the carts you used for stripping.
@@GenuineRagewondering if he meant disassemble the car, like removing all trim and stuff, not actually stripping paint? That’s what I would want to do. Take it apart myself, then take it to a shop, and reassemble myself afterwards.
He does use one, see it before sealer. I want one but to pricy for me and shop to cheap to get one. Demd one for a week, great tool. Would say a must have if you do a lot of raw plastic bumpers
That's why I went to Mexico to have my impala 64 as to get it done because is way cheaper thn USA money better work better quality of work and cheap and the guys in Mexico they move fast

Does Superclean really work better than plain old Dawn dish soap? I have found Dawn to be hard to beat for grease removal on almost anything.
All comes down to Prep first preparation is a must before anything you start from start to finish love your work Brian.
Nice. My Integra is silver and the advice given is top notch. I will use it when I start on my project. Thanks again.
Double coat of clear on the roof first work well too
Some recommend doing the drop coat or coats crossed in direction to help enhance uniformity. Have you tried that? Might be tricky on the roof though.
I always do a cross coat by actually turning the fan nozzle not tilting the gun. I sprayed business jets and certain areas have to be smooth within .003-.005” inch in front of the static ports for accuracy.

@@GenuineRagewondering if he meant disassemble the car, like removing all trim and stuff, not actually stripping paint? That’s what I would want to do. Take it apart myself, then take it to a shop, and reassemble myself afterwards.
video idea: masking sunroofs
Have you ever tried a Statgun?....after 30+yrs of painting i tried one.... absolutely amazing...the dirt will run from the car.
What one are you using?
He does use one, see it before sealer. I want one but to pricy for me and shop to cheap to get one. Demd one for a week, great tool. Would say a must have if you do a lot of raw plastic bumpers
Stat-Gun by static solutions Steve the thing actually works. I've been on the line a long time and was amazed.
@Michigunner it works just as well on metal,your bag and paper ....it's worth the 2600 after comparing buffing cost+time.
What city are you located in.
That's why I went to Mexico to have my impala 64 as to get it done because is way cheaper thn USA money better work better quality of work and cheap and the guys in Mexico they move fast
What paint system did you use on this one? It seems like you were spraying your base at a much higher pressure than usual. Or is it a different gun?
He used a Walcom. I couldn’t see the model though
He said he used Sikkens paint products.
So how much should a paint job of this quality cost. Say a 18 Tahoe??
A big SUV with quality prep and materials could easily be $10k or more.
