Best paint channel, period. Narration is informative and to the point; no rambling chit chat like any others. You repeatedly return to good basic practices throughout to help eliminate rookie mistakes. No hype. No BS. Thanks. Keep 'em coming.
Thank you !!
I did 40+ years in the collision repair/refinishing business. I retired from teaching it at a public technical school. My food for thought: good technique Steven, if you want a long healthy life, get a fresh air system. Especially when illegally spraying with little or no ventilation, no arrestor, and venting illegally into the atmosphere. It's nice to see the use of a self etching primer, a step many skip. One other thing, I would have used Nason clear over the Nason basecoat. When you mix product lines it usually ends with paint failure later on, as I've seen on many occasions. Nason clear is very reasonably priced.
Valid point. I know the videos are aimed at the enthusiast crowd and not the pros, but you are doing a disservice showing a guy in a cloud of isocyanates with just a half face respirator and a chemical (?) cartridge. Some of the problems from isocyanates are immediate...and some hit you years later. Want to be around for your kids and grandkids? Get a fresh air system as mentioned. Wet edges...
Just painted some fenders in my dusty garage after watching a bunch of videos, after a little wet sanding came out better then I could have expected
better THAN
noob here.. when did you wet sand.. after?
@@fsflip3111 Yea after the clear coat cures, wet sand and buff
The best way to get a 1st class paint job without a booth is to hire Brian to come over and paint your car! Thanks!
Am the meening, youre the best techer for car painting .its well done
Y
wet the floor,is 60% of it ,the rest is wind leaks in the makeshift booth,painting outside is left to rolling it on ,i've done both,the rolling is best left to someone who has no problems of wet sanding,damn nice job on the red one
LOL, this is very true
No, no one who is good at what they do "come Over" that is open thing I CANNOT stand is people asking me to go to their houses to work on shit.
This is a good video, very satisfying to see that paint going on! One tip to newby car painters: the PSI specified for the paint is as measured AT THE GUN, not at the compressor! In other words you have to compensate for the length of the hose you are using, (because the pressure drops more the longer the hose is)..and add pressure based on that. Like if they say "30 PSI" you might need to have a reading of 40 at the compressor to spray at the specified pressure.. You need a chart to tell how much to compensate.
Great tip.. thanks 🙏
Another reason to regulate the pressure at the gun, not at the compressor, there's a lot more volume at 90 psi than at 30psi. Even if you compensate way back at the compressor side to get 30 psi at the gun, if something happens that pressure could dip below 30psi in places, especially if you're not using a 60 gallon professional system like this and trying to make a 20 or 30 gallon oil-free 1.5 hp compressor work. If you've got 60 or 90 psi up to the gun and regulate the pressure THERE, then you should never have problems with low pressure at the gun tip.
That dude is GOOD! He looked like a machine spraying that car
As a retired Auto Painter from Australia, I enjoy your content as wish you great success in this trade
wow, I've been painting for 20 years and this is actually one of the few videos I've seen that isn't complete BS. I usually watch these type of videos just for a laugh. Well done, good informative commentary too.
over 20 years...I keep forgetting how old I am.
Thanks Bud !
@@RJ_Groot
Young back me too
@@RJ_Groot u need to watch all of his videos, trust me you will learn ALOT and realize how much you have been short cutting your painting in the past.
Been painting for 30 years, you have the best series on the net. Very informative.
How do you break this down to more simple for. The paint seems to be easiest to grasp. But all the different sand grits to include p and k. But also single stage paint (sounds like imron) or what I think imron is. Not many auto painters around to learn from
Great video, Needing brush-up for paint as I closed my paint shop in 2000. Got to sick to do anything. Years earlier Military doc said MS and it had finally said got-cha! Now here I am 21 yrs later getting ready to paint again. Really have to watch my lungs this time. Hopefully gunna be a blast!
I don't like items masked when painting anything. So I have respect for painters that remove everything off surfaces that are going to be painted. Way to go Steve!
I've been painting (on an amateur level) for 25 years, and I LOVE your videos! Great tips, great advice and encouragement! Keep progressing forward and improving your skills and knowledge base is the way to ensure a great outcome!
Awesome feedback. Thank you !
There's too much much talking, I feel like I'm always fast forwarding to get down to the actual details. No offense but I feel he was raised by either a strong woman or many females, either way it's not his fault, but just talk to much in your videos, kinda hard for me to follow along
@@strangerdanger187 interesting thoughts.
I enjoy the commentary on technique. It's really like getting to listen in on a master class. Thank you for posting.
You are very welcome you better Recognise....,
In a non downdraft setting, wetting the floor really does make a HUGE difference. I keep an old janitor bucket with a mop in the corner of our old semi down draft booth, and do a quick pass before basing and another before tacking off for clear
I just wanted thank you my big brother was a painter 40years experience and used to tease me saying he would never show me how to paint unfortunately he passed last June without showing me the ropes I learned a lot from your vids . I don’t plan on becoming a painter but it’s good to work on my own projects
Thanks for sharing GOD BLESS YOU
Great video, the only thing missing is the put-together finished product.
First let me say I love your videos they have been extremely valuable to me. It seems very hard to get a straight answer on pricing when it comes to paint jobs. I understand that there are a lot of variables so thank you for actually throwing a number out there for a basic paint job. Your videos really showed me you guys deserve what you charge!
Thanks for the words and glad this cleared things up for you 😀
Someone REALLY likes Steven.
This is the best paint channel I've watched, so much knowledge given freely, you are such a. Huge blessing, may The Lord richly enlargen your territory.
The painter's consistency - in speed, technique, distance - amazing. He's really good.
Im so glad you have these videos. im planning to paint my own project truck (someday) and all my 83 y/o dad keeps saying is ,i cant do it without a paint booth.
Used to paint plugs and molds for large yachts You are 100% correct Steve knows what he's doing - Only modification I would have made is I found it easier to control the hose by putting it over my shoulder then holding it by my side. Also love the fact you pointed out the footwork - it's as important as the flick for an even coat.
It's dope to see you getting out and about with small shops, and independent painters! I started out the same way without a booth..its all about prep and approach! Awesome work! 👌🏾🙏🏾
Yup! That is what a society is! Exposing other painters and learning from them !
@@PaintSociety keep up good vibez, congrats on joining fatherhood also!😉💪🏾 BLESS UP-
You catching that bug and letting it go outside was really wholesome. Solid paintjob as always 👌
Yea man. Just can’t kill a living thing.
I like the fact that you visit other painters.
I painted for 20 years, the guy painting the car is a great painter that's why it looks good he knows what he's doing.
My first TSP. What an experience! It is difficult to put into words, but that was one fun week! I attended from 1988 to 1993 when a friend from Lincoln invited us up to the inaugural Nebraska Star Party in 1994. One of our now departed club members is in this film - the guy in the green T-shirt talking to another fellow in a minivan. In the six years I attended, I saw blistering heat, days upon days of clouds and thunderstorms, and, of course, some of the best nighttime skies I had ever seen! Long live the Texas Star Party!
Been painting professionally for 23yrs. Some of the best paint jobs (right out of the gun) I’ve done have been in the worst conditions.
I started following you guys because work has me painting our fleet trucks, even though I have never painted a vehicle before. I've learned a lot from them and fortunately, the first one I did didn't turn out like irrecoverable crap! So, thanks guys!
Awesome ! Glad to hear !
Paint where u can't see 1st, blew my mind🤯 thanks for the tip🙏
I love that you filmed it! What a great video, very informative. Great job painting it, the car came out really nice! I am a beginner and find all your videos very helpful. Thanks for the video! Keep it up. ❤️
Great video and great skill in that paint job for sure. He moves like I did when I use to spray for a paint shop years ago I loved it, very robotic
Damn that's an awesome one man business set up. I've been looking for a shop like that to take on bigger side jobs. Awesome content man I do this for a living and always recommend this channel to new guys coming up in the industry
Im a begginer in this job and at this moment im working in a forklift company. Im the painter of this company and i learned a lot and gained some experience. But the best finishing sand paper we have is 320 to sand the primer. It is fine and i can do very good jobs here. But the painting is with direct clear coat in the paint. We dont use base coat then clear coat.
I want to learn more about that and this channel is being so useful for me. Its just sad that i dont have any conditions or tools to do something in my house.
Congratz for the videos you make 👌
I talked to you on Instagram about my red 75 corvette man. I’m like this close to bringing it to you to paint. You guys do a PERFECT job!
Great video. You didn't talk about an exhaust fan,filters and fresh air coming into the shop. You didn't talk about temperature and how it works with different reducers. This is a great video for the beginner,thanks.
That looks beautiful! ❤
Love your tip about spraying scared/overthinking it. Two of the best paint jobs I ever laid down were areas where I was like "I just need to get some paint on there, it doesn't need to be good." One was the engine bay of my wife's car, the old paint was just not great, and I had the engine out, so I was like "I'm just going to throw down some base coat and clear, hardly anyone will see it." It ended up going on so nice there was zero orange peel and no finishing needed, because I just sprayed like I didn't care. It ended up winning a $1000 prize for best engine bay at a car show, with just a Scotchbrite prep and some extra bc/cc I had lying around.
This guy can paint and anyone will be able to get it done with Brian instructions.🔥 great results
Love videos about good craftsmanship
I missed seeing when the customer finally gets a red car
Very well done I liked the narrative pointing out the Dos and Donts I have only sprayed one car myself and for that one I used a Turbine HVLP spray rig I actually purchased for my Woodworking finishes I did use a two stage Dupont Automotive paint in which it was recommended that a used a colored sealer from Dupont because the car was a British car and they used a pretty soft paint from the factory I knew that because I had the car for more than 14 years and with routine washing a waxing I could see grey Primer in some areas the job came out nice surprisingly no runs, drips or orange peel or any missed spots ! bTW I did the original factory color as I did not have the time to pull the engine and prep the compartment I was quite happy with my results and all the tasks my Campbell Hausefeild Spray rig could tackle for my woodworking I often used Oilbased primers and paints as well as spraying Conversion Varnish over staingrade Exotic Woods
Now that you've done both, one of the things I found amazingly satisfying was using automotive clear and finishing techniques for wood projects.
Beautiful job! What about the door jams and underside of the hood and trunk lid?
Taking a grinder to those panels especially with today's higher alloy content thinner body panels is a big mistake, I'm surprised those panels weren't severely warped from the heat of grinding, I painted cars for over 25 years and I have to say Steve's technique is outstanding, I was never a big fan of Nason materials but they are very cost effective.
6:40 Brian you sound the narrator on the golf channel lol . I love your videos I have learned a lot almost done with the body work and paint on my 92 Chevy Silverado. Thanks 👍
Very cool he has great gun movements
Moves like a machine!
Steven did a beautiful performance! It was as though he was dancing with the car and the paint sprayer.
so while watching this ....when or how do you plan on doing the door jambs and door ends? You guys complaining about his "golf channel voice" i actually appreciate how smooth and thought out his commentary is. hes calm, not fumbling words, very enjoyable when trying to learn something from someone who KNOWS what theyre doing and HOW to explain it. A lot of people who do really exceptional work have little ability to explain it. Brians videos are better than a lot of uh uh , you know, ah ah, like the other how to vids do.
I'm a simple man. I see a new Paint Society video, I click immediately.
Thank you!
true dat!!! I wish Brian was a New York paisan......I need him for my Mustang!!!!!
I too am a simple man and need that Paint Society in my life!
@@PaintSociety any info on Blokke for public purchase. I like the concept of the block and would like to purchase.
Watch for bugs, they love new paint smell.
Wow! that was impressive workmanship.... years ago I painted two cars under a tree with Ditzler enamel, they came out surprisingly well given that it would have been close to impossible for them to look worse.
A lot of times by the time you give up and paint a car they look pretty bad to start with. Back when I was in the RX7 club there was a famous video going around where someone painted their car with a roller instead of a paint gun . . . and it wasn't bad! It wasn't GOOD, but it was so much better than what it was, and after all the sanding, it looked better than a lot of cars on the road.
These videos just keep building my confidence,
Nice work. I've painted before, but learning a lot here..
Wow, great video, impressive painting skills! And excellent play-by-play commentary! If you ever get tired of painting, you’d make a great sports announcer 👍👍👍
Young buck you’re very welcome you better Recognise....,
Very nice, guys. Thanks for focusing on the spray technique a little. That will help me.
Man he killed that job! The red looks beautiful under the sun light.
I tried that Scuff pad on a electric da with hook and loop pad.It sands cars and bumpers to perfection.We can never stop learning new tricks to making our work easier.
I have to say this guy with his kung fu style painting did a absolutely wonderful job you can tell he takes pride in his work and the end result just testifies of that great work God bless
Don't know if u got a new mic or something but ur commentary sounds great man.
Thank you for noticing, I invested in a blue yeti voiceover microphone for my videos.
@@PaintSociety dammnnnn okayyyy shiiii
I’m thinking about taking auto body technology at my community college. I would like to learn this trade as a hobby and trucking as my main income.
This channel is definitely motivating me!
beautiful job! I've just sprayed rear bumper on my van outside on my drive turned out perfect due to your videos many thanks' from Scotland
What a fantastic painter Steven , slow but perfect like a spraying robot
Great job! It’s great to watch real craftsman that really care. I would be proud to take my car to this shop. 👍
I have the confidence to paint my own vehicle this summer thanks to you and your channel and I'm sure it will come out looking like a show car even with it being My first time painting. I will however practice on a hood from junkyard before I take on a project like that though. Thanks for all the videos I really appreciate it and I'm sure everyone else does as well unless they are a haters.
Just a note as you get started, you're going to be paying a LOT more attention to your paint job than anyone else will. Even if you have a mistake here or there, a little sag or hose drag along the rocker or end up with a bug in the clear or something, odds are good after finishing it out that you'll be the only one who notices, and it's still going to look a hundred times better than it did before you painted and you'll know better next time. Showing off one of my first paint jobs to my uncle I pointed out a couple of mistakes I had made, he said 'Sometimes the only difference between an amateur and a pro is a pro knows when to keep their mouth shut.' I consider a little flaw here or there an acceptable trade for not having to rent or set up a paint booth and deal with all the logistics of getting a taped and prepped car over there, etc. For a beautiful driver, it's going to be fine... if you're trying to take something to SEMA or Pebble Beach, hire someone.
Gorgeous finish! You brought that little Honda back from the shame of rattle can finish. Nice job and excellent video indeed!
The question i always have is ; how long do you wait to remove the masking tape ? And...what technique do you use while removing it ?? Direction to pull and how fast etc...
Love your channel !
2 hours after u spray, remove it at a 45 degree angle AWAY from the paint edge and slow and steady
I use to be an industrial painter ' l miss watching the transformation of what l was painting into something beautiful or into something bad to the bone. The endless quality of paint colors available today are truly incredible. I miss it very much 😭
Wow! So much great information in this video!
Wax & grease remover in a pump sprayer! Talk about a time saver!
A condenser on the compressor to keep the air cool...
I gotta get busy busy on shop upgrades!
Thanks for the quality content!
Great explanation on the whole process. I really appreciate the attention to detail, pressures, times between coats, etc.
That was Good.....I mostly spray Timber these days and I love seeing it come to "Life" but I'd love to paint a Car again. Nice technique, flowed on beautifully. Well Done....Thank You.
Brian, your videos are always awesome. I love how complementary you are of Steve's skills - a true professional builds others up and recognizes their accomplishments. You and Steven were awesome in this video, I wish i could make it look that easy!
You seemed to mention just about everything except the fact that blowing all the cracks and crevices before paint is super important and you won’t have much dust or dirt if any when you crank the pressure up come time for the clear coat . All in all excellent job
I plan on pressure washing out my entire shop, ceiling walls and floor, before doing my first paint job. I will then seal any cracks it has to prevent air from coming in with dust or insects in it. I plan on putting quality HVAC filters on one end as an intake, and exhaust fan on the other end to pull air out. I hope this will prevent dust from getting in my paint. Likely will wet floor as well.
45 years ago i started painting cars. back then it was mostly just alkyd or acrylic enamel. no clear coat.we would always start with the hood. do one side of the hood then the other then the fenders and roof, doors and finish at the back. you never wanted to walk around like you guys do. if you did that on the final coat you would end up making the first part dull due to overspray because it had already flashed off. it's like you do the front then the middle then the back like as if the car went through a waterfall.
on this car it didn't matter because you weren't doing the hood so you didn't have old paint meeting new paint.
I still use my Devilbiss 2 qt. Pressure pot and JGA 502 gun. No refills and no weight on your gun hand. Old school!!
Hi I sprayed vehicles from the early 60s enamel, la lots of young guys can’t shoot enamel. I still want to jump in and shoot one. Nice job! Rock on guys.
I think if I'd owned that car I would have called the insurance and told them someone had vandalised it!😂 Great video though, it's nice to learn how a mess like this can be restored. 👍
I feel like I’m watching an old house of color video lol good work to the both of you🤙🏽
Yea I have seen the video you’re talking about. It was like an older maroone vehicle
i am useing the new turbine portable love it keeps down the over spray and orange peel
My dad always said "don't take wooden nickels" and "look both ways before crossing the street". Not sure how that relates here but figured it might be of use to someone.
He killed it! Great paintwork!
His way of painting is goooooooood
I painted a couple toppers in my garage, the best one was when it was in the 90's. The clear laid out very nicely. Not so much when it was in the 70's.
in the process of restoring a riding lawn mower, a motorcycle gas tank, and then a classic mustang, in that order. Hoping to learn along the way before screwing up the mustang. This video will help, and as people have stated, a non-BS straight forward, honest video. One question for all you painters out there. Eye protection? Seems like an artist's eyes being obscured is not best idea. Why mess with one of the best tools an artist has, right? Anyway, in the name of safety and all that, what say you?
Im about to attempt my first paint job in the coming weeks.... Really hoping these videos give me a leg up
Same here, first time for me in a few weeks, just prepping at the moment
We have had many people with Great success learning from the videos. Take it a little at a time and learn as you go.
@@WASDxMerceless same here getting everything I can sand blasted ( doors, fenders, grill, bed sides, etc).
Then patch panels, rust, dent repairs, more body work. Starting to really understand why restoring something cost alot of money if you want it right
@@Mikesmeyer88 just because you had a hard time learning doesn't mean everyone else will. I've painted frames and chassis I've fabricated along with other equipment and structures. But that was just single stage paint stuff and not 2 stage on bigger surfaces.
So I see it as it's just a few more steps of prep work and paint. And possibly another notch in the belt of things that I'm able to do. If I do fail, I have no one to blame but myself.
@@PaintSociety I just hope my choice in supplies and paint pays off as well
Thanks, again Tony &crew- another great video I just keep learning !! PJP
Awesome content - thanks for Steve as well
Glad you enjoyed it
1 Build a time machine.
2 Go back to the 70s and get some acrylic lacquer.
3 Hose down the back lawn and spray away.
4 Wet sand and buff.
Just painted my first fender with spray cans, thanks to a deer taking out the left quarter of my vehicle. Eventually told myself just do it. Took my time.
Apart from orange peel I am stoked with my results. What deer.
One word of advice. Don't settle for cheap masks. Got migranes and asthma for 2 days.
Also, avoid painting at night because to keep the bugs out as much as you can. Also try to plan ahead if you have a lowered car or a sports car. When I painted my Prelude, I set the car on 4 large jack stands and remove the expensive wheels so when I paint the lower part of the doors, I am not getting caught with my gun or kicking up dirt the the gun might be kicking up.
Good tip. A couple of times I've started spraying a project only to realize I couldn't get enough angle on the gun to paint the bottom of the rocker panels well. Luckily the car was low enough that you can't see it well anyway, but *I* know it's there.
Same car I painted a aqua blue met and came out amazing with no paint booth. I had to make my own makeshift booth lol
Nice work Steve!
$3,000.00 damn that's a bargain. Stripping it down to bare metal, prepping, and paint is a steal.
I paid $200.00 dollars for just a quart of dark red base coat with activator from O'riliey's . He was given a great deal for the amount of work involved.
Always a great watch
U say the learning doesn't stop when the videos end, as long as the videos themselves don't end, life is good!!
Oh Oh yes... please my car next 🙆♀️🙋♀️👋
I use shop line base coat from ppg, and finish one clear coat from Sherwin Williams, with sata hvlp 1.3, with 3 coat of clear, cheap And and so good finish.
that looks really good, I'd love to see it after a good wet sanding and buffing.
When I painted my engine bay, I just kept saying "don't overthink it, just do it"
my question why do bugs like paint...not a single insect around then damm
@@miguelcastaneda7236 Car paint has this sweet smell that attracts bugs
@@1968DodgePolara My dad had a yellow speed boat in the 70s. He said bugs were ALWAYS attracted to it lol.

Maybe he didn't watch enough of your videos. When I was a teenager, I did a candy gold on a 53 Chevy. It looked ok, but not as nice as I wanted it. Watching a few of your videos, I spotted a few things I could have done better. I'll be doing a 49 packard soon, and while it's gonna be basic black, I definitely have picked up enough tips that I'm confident it'll look awesome
Looks good. Don't forget your tack rag.
