    for a home job, this is really well done. One suggestion I gotta throw in is when masking the wheel openings, I've had success with back-taping the inner lip of the entire wheel opening, then sticking the paper/plastic to the tape. There's no overspray in the wheel opening and tire area & it just makes the job look more professional.

    I was told to wet the floor before you spray that will keep the dust from getting on the car...

    you did a good job. Too many pricks on here saying you did this wrong, you did that wrong, and probably have never tried to paint a car themselves. For a back yard job this is as good as it gets really. Great work man. You've given me the confidence to spray my project car. And probably many others..

      Since it appears that you have never painted a car, how did you determine the OP is right, and the critics are wrong?? Perhaps they want to ensure you don't make mistakes they see here. I was looking for full color-change techniques promise in the title only to find half the important details are not even discussed! Why bother? And as someone who has painted vehicles--in and out of work --for 40 years, I GUARANTEE YOU there are far better videos out there for beginners.

      @@FisherCatProductions Professional car painter for Audi / Volkswagen for 10+ years here, and i second this. The result on this car was average at best, and that is taking the setup and conditions into consideration. Lot of orange peel, and the painter not wearing proper protection is a big issue for me. Snorting paint fumes is not good for you.

    He was learning .. if you watch his other videos he is basically showing people as he learns.. he has come a long way since the start. At least he has taken the time to share. I think that’s a good effort for a beginner. Also this is Australia, you guys in US are used to much cheaper prices ... so 1000 respray is cheap for us for a good job compared to 3000

  • @customspraymods
    @customspraymods  12 років тому

    @RAJSTA81 Hey thanks for watchin.. You might benefit from clearing black or a dark colour to give it some depth but otherwise there is no benefit to clearing a solid colour. Just sand it and buff it. It will look good.

  • @customspraymods
    @customspraymods  12 років тому

    @ugkistheclick Hy mate, thanks for watching. A good way to make sure the new colour isnt noticeable is to blend the paint. First use the grey scotchbrite with some flatting paste over the whole panel next to your newly painted parts. Then overlap the paint into the panel without going to the edge. Start small then spray a larger area with each coat. After 3 or 4 coats clear the whole panel. I will be doing a video on this but ill post a video reply of one that VG Auto Paints did.

  • @customspraymods
    @customspraymods  12 років тому +1

    Yes a swirl remover is a better option after using the cutting compound. It is a finer grade of compound that will remove scratches left from the first cutting compound. Then the polish should go on.

    Im spraying my 98 civic hatch matt black. I've purchased 2K MS Filler Primer to prime my car. Today I sprayed my rear spoiler and noticed a good bit of overspray throughout the paint job, does this matter seeing as ill be wet sanding this with 800g sandpaper?

    When I painted my motorcycle years ago, I thouroughly swept and washed the entire driveway (including the retaining wall). When I was ready to paint, I sprayed down the surrounding surfaces and bushes. I ran the risk of increasing moisture in the air, but it really helped trap dust and pollen.
    There's nothing worse than getting something stuck in your first layer of clear, only to spot it after your third or fourth layer! Of course, a light sanding between layers helps, too.

  • @customspraymods
    @customspraymods  12 років тому

    @bigboy5998 use a 2pack matte finish. Either the sem hot rod black or the alsa soft feel clear. Using an acrylic matte finish will scuff really easily and can crack and fade over time. hope it goes well for ya.

  • @customspraymods
    @customspraymods  12 років тому

    @thabliz77 it could have come out rough for a number of reasons maybe gun setup. Mixing ratios. Type of thinners. Also of its really hot the paint can almost dry as it hits the surface. Try wind in all the nozzles on your spray gun then wind the fluid out about 3 turns. The fan about 15cm wide and the air about 45psi use 60 parts thinners to 40 parts clear and do about 4 coats.Try sand back the car with 800g and give it another coat of color and clear. Dont dust it on try and be slow and smooth

  • @customspraymods
    @customspraymods  12 років тому

    Yes humidity could be a reason for that, it will eventually go away. You can sand with 800g wet and re apply the clear. If you can heat the cans in warm water before using the paint.

    @customspraymods  11 років тому

    As long as you get coverage with your paint and enough clearcoat on. You can always sand and buff it to look glossy and smooth. I have seen clearcoat that is really bad and you would think it needs to be redone. But a good sand and buff brought it up maaad.

  • @customspraymods
    @customspraymods  11 років тому

    That can be caused by smashing on the clearcoat too heavy and not waiting 10 to 15min between coats. What is happening is the solvent is trying to escape and causing tiny pinholes as it does. By waiting longer between coats and applying a medium coat of clear should eliminate this problem. Hope this helps

    If I want to respray my car the same color, I assume i dont have to worry about the interior, taking doors off, etc... Just the outside. Do I have to sand it down to bare metal? or can I just go right over the original paint with the new paint and follow there? I do have a little rust on one side which will need to be sanded and repaired, i will have to do further research on how to fix that problem. Thanks.

  • @customspraymods

    For someone that enjoys working on their car and takes pride in a job they have done themselves, the price is worth it. Dont forget you will get to keep the compressor, the spray gun and the Buffing machine for future jobs. These items alone account for half the price mentioned.

I was thinking about buying the workquip but now I'm unsure because you seem to use the more expensive walcom unit in all the other vids. Cheers Shane
