Little confused about the spray can at the end, is that clear or reducer? Did you sand the whole bumper? Why not clear the whole bumper? Also what size air compressor are you using?
Good job man ! I do the some job and was a little tired because the problems we have painting outside. But look you working so organized have me a little hooe to don't stop what Im doing. Thanks
I'm supposed to take my Jeep Jl back to my dealer soon to have rock chips on my rear fenders and doors touched up by a mobile painter. The thing is she is only available on Thursday's and the temperature outside has been around 50ish degrees and under and their has been humidity in the 70s and up on every Thursday this far. Are mobile painter able to paint well in these conditions? I'm worried that if I take it to get painted in these conditions that the finish product won't turn out well. Any input from a professional would be awesome. Thank you for your time and assistance.
I always check the paint code first before breaking the paint just to double check i have enough paint of the toners that’s required. Learned the hard way 1 time too many to always check first.
Just curious why u decide to do a burn instead of just clear the whole bumper? Is it just a cost thing? I feel it’s faster just to clear out the whole bumper. And did you even sand anywhere besides your repair? If so it was not mentioned at all. I mean old junk car whatever but brand new Tesla? How do u get repeat business doing that? Not trying to be negative just honestly curious.
Speedokote refinish network I do use reducer but just a little. Lately I have been going a little lighter on the first coat and putting in a bit more reducer for the second coat and that had been working well. Thanks for asking!
Hi friend. i follow your videos because i have the idea to do the same here in florida. I would like to know if I still continue and what to do to get clients. I would greatly appreciate your experience. good luck
Thanks Jae! I used speedokote primer for this job. I don’t use any flex additive and it isn’t needed for the products I’m using. Thanks for watching! 👊👍
Good question! It is about 75 toners and I pour off into 16oz bottles filling them half way except for the pearls which you fill to 4oz. The cost for that is approximately $2500-$3k. It is expensive but worth it if you want to start a mobile business. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
Are you located in San Diego since you mentioned SoCal? I used to paint cars 14 years ago. I want to get back into painting cars again but I was told that they’re using water base paint. I have no clue in painting with water base. Perhaps you could do a tutorial on next video with water base paint. Thanks outstanding job on that paint by the way.
Kheam Hem thanks for watching! I’m actually in Pasadena CA (north LA county) It was a bit of an adjustment when I switched to water base, the main differences are dry time is slower so u need to use a heat gun while u paint and some colors like black look blue when it first goes on but dries normal. I love it because the color match is by far the best and the finish is great. Good thought on the water base paint video, and I will plan on getting that one out. Hope that helps!

Since he's only using the compressor for the paint guns it really shouldn't be a concern. When running pneumatic tools is when you need to worry about the cfm's. CFM is a measure of the flow rate of air pushed out by a compressor. It stands for cubic feet (per) minute. Usually the higher the cfm's the better. He's running an electric oil free 2hp 4gl compressor and an electric sander, so he doesn't need much cfm's. (saw that in a reply post) When running pneumatic tools like air sanders is when you will want high cfm's, the higher the cfm's the less the compressor has to work to play catch up in filling the air tank and less drag on the tools when it is playing catch up. I'm guessing he uses the clients power when he can, but with that size compressor a small generator would most likely run it with no issues.
Thanks Alex! I use the California Air compressor 4620ac it’s an electric 2hp 4gal oil free. I love it! You can also download my tools and supplies for free at greenrecontraining.com Thanks again for watching!
Mate great video. Iam starting a touch up mobile business here in Australia. A few questions: Do you use the same size tip for both the base coat and clear coat and what are the size tips you use. Do you like the waterborne paint system better than the other paint system with thinners etc. Love to talk sometime mate. All the best...
Mr Eighty Twenty great to hear from Australia! I use a 1.0 tip for both paint and clear and found it to work great. I love the water base paint I use and found that the only real draw back is a longer drying time. I think the finish and color match are excellent. Would absolutely love to talk and help anyway I can. You can email me at jb@greenreconditioning.com with a number to reach u and we can set up a time to talk. Wish you the best!
Great question, there are times when that happens but if you are careful to stay away from overhanging trees or right next to dusty areas/bushes the clear comes out nice and clean. If something does get in the clear coat it is usually minor and comes out with a light wet sand and buff. Obviously if it gets really windy or it rains I have to reschedule the job for another day. Thanks for watching!
I bought a van and plan on doing mobile bumper repair here in WV. What kind of money do you like to make each day and doing what? What are your avg prices for a bumper , or each wheel.?
Thats awesome! would love to hear how you are doing and help any way I can. Let me know if you want to get on a call and talk through the steps to get started on the right foot.

I've been doing bumper repair in Arkansas for 25 years, so I assume that the economy is pretty close to the same as WV. Once you get the hang of it, and are good, you can expect about $1000 per week as an average. My best year was in 2015, and I grossed almost $100,000, but my average for the past 15 years is about $60,000. I'd suggest you get some car lots, you can't charge as much as a retail customer, but you will normally have work. As far as price, for a car lot $200-250 is a good price, and $300-350 for retail is very fair. You want to make the price cheaper than the customers insurance deductible, that's a real good incentive. Good luck!
Good question! I scuffed all the way to my clear blend line so it will adhere properly. You definitely need to scuff the entire bumper (I use ultrafine scuff pads which is 800 grit) if you are doing a complete bumper. I guarantee my work and have a lot of loyal repeat customer and get to see my work years later with no issues. Thanks for watching!
Green Reconditioning - Mobile Paint and Bumper Repair i work in a body shop id love to learn the mobile side of painting and would pay for training. I hope your course is still in the works!
You didn’t even scuff your bumper other then where you repaired. That bumper clear coat is probably going to peel. Hopefully they don’t pressure wash it. 🤣🤷🏽♂️
Rick A good question! There are several reasons they wanted our service 1. No difference in quality from a reputable body shop (and fully guaranteed) 2. Price was lower than their deductible and most importantly 3. Saving time. They would have had it in a body shop for several days, along with drop off and pick up. Thanks for watching!
No you do not ever have to “wet sand the clear” off .. scuffed is plenty and who wet sands anymore? .also this whole thing seems like a joke to me . The whole bumper should be done and off the car ..
Im confused, you say reconditioning but I haven't seen a wheel repair, or interior repair video, nor a PDR or windshield rock chip repair, your just repairing plastic bumpers bro.

Spot on video. I use the glamor production clear aswell in outside anf garage environments that way it dries quick to keep the dirt out !
Speedokote refinish network thanks!
Let me ask you, I use the same exact clear on 90% of my job. Does it Look better when you reduce it ? Never tried reducing the production clear coat

Since you are mobile do you have gas air compressor or do you rely on the customer AC outlet to power an electric compressor?
Do you have a full paint system or do you just get small amounts before going to jobs?

should have clear coated whole bumper as it was masked off
Yes he should have.
Taken it off the car to clear the edges cause it’s gonna peel
You didn’t even scuff your bumper other then where you repaired. That bumper clear coat is probably going to peel. Hopefully they don’t pressure wash it. 🤣🤷🏽♂️
I was thinking same thing ive had many bumpers come in to my shop peeling and the clear underneath was never prepped.
use 99 percent rubbing alcohol for prep., save u alot of money
Customers don't point out the edge left after peeling of the tape 🙄?
Or the peeling in a couple weeks lol
If I did this at work my boss would fire me ..
