    It’s funny how different we are all taught how to paint, but in the end we get the same results! I walk the entire length of the vehicle with base, and clear! Nice job man

    You have taught me so much brian. I want to express my sincere gratitude for you and your videos. I considered myself an amateur and then I discovered your videos. You teach me so much, and I have watched every single video you've put out. I just sprayed my first Best of Show winning car here in Washington state. And It's all thanks to you! Thanks again. Can't wait for the next one (it took 41 complete color changes before the 42nd car won best of show btw, so it wasn't over night. But it is thanks to you!)

    I wanted to spray my motorcycle fairings on my ZX-10R. A fresh Kawasaki green. I understand the concept of spraying base and clear but I get super confused on what equipment to get, reducer, primer, filler, etc etc at all gets complicated. Maybe I should try rattle canning it with clear 2k for my first go around?

    I like to pick up random inexpensive used body panels like hoods and fenders to practice on when I haven't picked up my paint gun in a while.
    Some leftover base coat and clear gives me an opportunity to practice on some insignificant sheet metal.
    Cool thing is I can cut and polish those same panels, then sand and respray them again and repeat.

With material you present and way you cover it it’s getting me amped to dig back into my old color change project car that I’ve stored away for years because of concern with messing up what was already accomplished with the jams being painted by who I thought would guide me through entire process but didn’t.

  • @dwej9080
    @dwej9080 Рік тому

    I would like to see something along the line of paint prep decision. Do you sand all the paint down to bare metal or sand existing paint to bond to the new paint?
    Particularly with older cars. It does not make sense to me, to grind to bare metal when you have a sound paint barrier already there. Is this a money grab or something else?
    What sort of check list can you go through to determine if you need to sand to bare metal or prep what ya got. Obviously one method is more expensive than the other with labor hours and materials.

    could you do a video on a older paint job, mid 80s? I would like to clean up the paint but not looking for show quality , I just want to seal the paint and fix many small rust spots . I also have a scratch down the entire passenger side from a razor knife (some one got mad because I took "their" parking spot). The front edge of the hood for example has the paint mainly intact but has many small chips that have surface rust in them . I guess I would need to remove all the older paint , factory filler, down to bare metal across the entire front edge of the hood to fix the spots ?

As you can't have any primer with copper as it will eat the aluminum. I came here wanting to learn about sanding primer and your videos answered my concerns. Also if I can't use 2k primer I was going to use a epoxy barrier coat type primer. And then sand it and then spray it. Your thought or advice if any. Thanks

    Hey Brian so I’m planning on painting my engine bay shortly here on my 1989 Nissan 240sx I’m currently in the process of doing some rust repair than I’ll go ahead and scuff the whole bay with a maroon scuffing pad, all the areas with bare metal will get a self etching primer than a 2k primer and than I’ll do base and clear to the whole bay does this process sound solid? As well in terms of brand what would you recommend in terms of getting the base mixed up in and clear?

  • @ThatV12MiataBruh
    @ThatV12MiataBruh Рік тому

    I think its important to mention that there are different tack rags available, be sure to use a basecoat specific tack rag when tacking basecoat and also to use very light pressure when doing so. Another thing for beginners is to NEVER use generic cut up clothing rags for wiping down the panel with wax and grease remover and to only use preparation rags for this as the detergents in these old clothes will react with the wax and grease remover and cause wipe down marks in the newly sprayed basecoat.

    A weekend worrier here and I need to add some white pearls to a white paint on a full car I am Planning to paint in Future to make the paint look like the Toyota Pearl look . The white Pearl intermediate coat is quiet expensive so I Was thinking of mixing some automotive grade white pearls ( mica and titanium oxide powder mixed together and sold as Pearl pigment on eBay) mix to the 2k clear and putting it over the white base. I was thinking if you could or anyone reading would help me in the Below methods I was thinking of doing please. By the way as the base I am Putting a 2k single stage white since I already have this from another job and dint want to spend more money on this car.
    Method 1- 2k single stage white followed by 2k clear followed by 2k clear mix with Pearl followed by 2/3 coats of 2k- 3 later system
    Method 2- 2k single stage white followed by 2k clear mix with Pearl followed by 2k clear followed by 2/3 coats of 2k - 3 later system
    Method 3 - 2k single stage white followed by 2k clear mix with Pearl & small amount of 2k single stage white followed by 2k clear followed by 2/3 coats of 2k - 3 later system
