- Does a wipe-on clear coat system actually work? Well, let's see! We are going to use Poppy's Patina to see if we can protect the patina on my 1980 GMC Jimmy! I'll show you each step of the process and tell you about the lessons I have learned using this product. I'll also tell you if I would use it again. I've never mixed paint or done a wipe-on clear coat system before. So, we are stepping into new territory! Tune into Stay At Home Garage and see what the final product looks like. Does this K5 squarebody look the best it's ever looked? You be the judge!
Man, u never skipped leg day. Heck you made the process leg day! love it.
Ha ha ha!!! Let’s just say I had good coaches! Lol
I've been thinking about Poppy's for my truck too. Great video. Thanks for showing me how it all works and what to look out for. I'm glad you mentioned the scratches were on the truck and not steaks made by the coating.
Good luck growing the channel! I just learned about Poppys and the mighty analytics sent your video to my feed so you gained another subscriber! Only thing I would recommend is to cut the fluff and get to the point on review videos like this. I definitely skipped a lot but learned a lot at the end so that's what matters!
Thank you so much for subscribing! I checked your channel out too and I’ll for sure be subscribing as well. Thank you for the suggestion man! I keep it in mind.
@stayathomegarage I'm excited to see what all you have in store. My channel is all over the place because I do projects everywhere, but I'm about to start restoring my grandpa's 46 Chevy Truck so I'll definitely be filming all of that!
Quick question, I had the same problem with my base coat color absorbing into the pad too. I assume this was because the clear coat was going directly onto the exposed base coat which removes some of it due to the solvents and wiping it onto the vehicle.
When you did the 2nd and 3rd coats, do you remember if there was any color leaking on the pad? I would think there shouldn't have been any because it was going directly onto the clear coat layer.
Thank you and great video!
Hi! When I did the second and third coats, there was no color leaking on the pad.
Good job!!!! The truck looks great!!! 👌
Thank ya sir!!
I want to know what poppy's actually are? Is it thinned out clear coat?
From what I know about it. It’s self leveling clear coat. I don’t believe it to be thinned out.
Do you think the clear coat dissolves the paint?
I don’t think so. It hasn’t been my experience. My paint still looks good.
@@stayathomegarage I’m at a hardware store and think the black sponge brush from the paint aisle could be a nice applicator? No streak
I don't think it dissolves the paint but I believe it will remove some of the base coat due to the solvents in the clear coat, and the 1st layer of initial coating. In addition, it also removes a portion of base coat from the wipe-on process. I was wondering though, after the 1st layer of clear coat if the 2nd and 3rd layer shouldn't have any base coat because it will be going directly on clear. I wanted to confirm this though since I'm not for sure.
Thank you awsome video
Did you just scuff lightly with supplied scotchbrite pad again before the 2nd coat? Or did you rewash and do all the steps ?
I actually didn’t scuff between coats. Maybe I should have? But if I were to do it again, I wouldn’t wait 24 hours to do another coat. So, I’m not sure if I would scuff between coats. But that’s just personal preference.
@stayathomegarage ok thank you! Did you have any small runs? I had thr greasy look as well after the 1st coat. 2nd coat.. looks better but i have small runs here and there. I am getting frustrated because it hard to make it look perfect. I did scuff lightly before 2nd coat. I do not advise that.
@@LIsabelle-yf6gc there are small runs here and there but not a ton. I’m happy with how it turned out. I hope you’re happy too!
How much Poppy's was left at the end if any?
Was 10oz enough for each coat?
Yea. There was plenty left over after putting on 3 coats. The thing that I was getting close to running out of is the catalyst that made the clear coat chemical resistance. That I almost ran out of after mixing the appropriate amount for each coat. But again, that may have changed if I didn’t do my coats over 3 days.
I'm scared also 😁😊 woooooo
So what’s the consensus, 30 minutes between coats and scuff? Or 24 hours and scuff? Directions aren’t clear
If I had to do it over again. What I would do is wait 30 mins to 1 hour between coats. I don’t think you need to scuff after first coat. The mistake I made is after waiting 24 hours, I used the same paint tray and applicator. Do not do that. I think that is the biggest thing that cased me issues.
can i wet or dry sand instead before washing and applying?
Hmm. I’m not sure. I read the directions and it didn’t mention that but the scotch bright acted like wet sanding a little bit.
201 just subscribed
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
Doesnt look bad at all
Thank ya!
So basically super expensive clear coat that is 5 times more expensive than your local paint shop has
I mean. I think it’s all relative. My kit was $184 for everything shown. So, if you can have a body shop clear your truck for less than $200, that is fantastic! But I really enjoyed the product and enjoyed doing it myself. So, just depends on what you are looking for I guess.
Good job on that clear coat but please man stop acting like that
embarasing yourself you just cant see that
Please
Ha ha ha! Man.. it’s who I am!!! Love embarrassing myself. Like I say, burgers are better with some cheese. Thanks for watching man!
Dude please stop 🛑 with the terrible acting
Man… burgers are better with some cheese!! Ha ha!
@@stayathomegarage lol good one
Are you trying to be funny?
