I'm so glad you highlighted the fact that this type of work is very, very labor intensive (ie: hours and hours), therefore expensive to do. Also glad you didn't uncover any hidden previous major repairs you would have had to address and increase the bill. Awesome work!
Thank you for putting up a video like this. I will show my customers I am a mobile auto body man and sometimes people are unrealistic. They want this type of bodywork and paint job done for like $1200.
hey bigchris, I have an inexpensive car I think I may try to DIY, I would probably try to follow a similar process to this video, maybe having major repair areas done by a professional shop before I would start. how much do you think it would cost in materials? and for a very high quality spray gun? thanks. and rent the compressed air?
@@pawpawbandit3871 paint guns could go up to $2000 for an inexperienced person couple hundred bucks for a halfway decent spraygun material depending on the color you want about six to $700 and I don’t know if you could rent a compressor. It might be cheaper to buy.
Been watching for a while now but Im pleasantly surprised to see your subscriber count starting to reflect your work. Your collab videos are awesome with some of my other favorite artists of the field however, paint society is top tier with descriptive tutorials and transparency that I will forever admire. Thank you brother for putting the work in on and off the clock to produce these videos that will inspire the next generation!
I feel that these guys are true teachers of the art. They know exactly what to do. Masters of car painting. You can see how awesome they are. Brian, you explain everything so well. That truck looks fabulous. Congratulations. Can’t wait for Brian to show his viewers the truck again. Super job👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the video Brian. I do everything all by myself and I often will tell my wife that when you watch a car show where they have a team of guys working on one car that it is very misleading when they crank out a job in a couple days vs my couple weeks or more. This puts it all in perspective and assures me that I'm on track...no mater how painful it may be.
Dear Brian, once again thank you so much for this episode, showing the way you like to transition from base coat to clearcoat was really valuable to me today. Stay blessed my friend 🙏
I had my 93 prelude si restored in the same exact manor but I used new formula red from the S2K since its a little less pink in the sun. Totally worth all the time the body shop had the car and it still looks amazing to this day.
awesome stuff, see at 12:30 when you start spraying the roof, is that in real time and not sped up for the video? I'm asking because I keep getting stripes when I spray my roof, but not on vertical panels and not sure why.
Thank you for all your work. I’d like to see a video on how you bag, tag, label and store all the various parts you take off before painting. I know it’s mundane, but I imagine you have a strict organizational method that keeps everything in order and easy to locate when reassembling. Thx.
Stuff the Gen x - we others do have patience and like the length of your videos. The music your dropped in worked well with the video & i find watching you at work is very therapeutic and your teaching skills are top notch and this video was epic. In Australia that job would be a +$20k paint job in a paint shop due to high wages, materials & overhead running costs of a shop these days & high cost of decent quality auto paint product in current market. I have to do a full repaint job on my Euro 1989 Mercedes 560SEL (midnight blue) and this time i am painting out all the chrome/alloy trim as per how AMG did it back in the day as mine is AMG spec with full bodykit & wheels & interior. The existing paint is original and minor blemishes (bird poop etc) but i want a show car finish that i will be undertaking at home myself & painting it myself. Your videos are inspirational & top notch and very appreciated from a long term subscriber
This is why the younger generations go with the fully plastidip body wrap… I am old school and appreciate the effort and look of a high quality paint job
It’s funny to me to watch you do a restoration paint job on a car that I painted when they were brand new😂 my restorations were 55 Chevy,s model, A’s and old British race cars.. it’s great to see the younger generation still knows how to work and do things the right way!! I still have Paint on the brain even though I’ve been retired for years. I saw the Red sealer on the quarter panel and knew it was either sickens or RM.😂
Hey Brian! I couldn't tell if I was seeing things right in this video when you were spraying the separate panels (i.e. doors and hood) It look almost as IF MAYBE the gun was missing a few times? I mean as in maybe fluid was leaning too far forward and not getting into the bowl all the way. We use the PPS system where I work. And a vet taught me with the PPS system to put the gun upside down and pull the trigger until you get material leaving the gun consistently and no sputter. This creates a vacuum and you can shoot with the gun upside down (as we do sometimes) and have no spray failure. (wasn't sure if this was something you were already aware of with the PPS system that you can do) Just thought I saw something and thought i would try to share something to help if I could. Thanks for creating amazing content, Brian L.
Nice I just did a $3.50 paint job on a Camero 😂 luckily it's mines but that looks great thanks for the tips and tricks appreciate u man keep it coming watching an learning alot thanks 🙏
You are so talented! I wish I could afford to have you do this to my 99 EM1. It's the same color and needs a paint job! I have watched enough videos I am tempted to try it LOL.
I was going to comment that you left out the paint correction step at the end, but then I saw your follow-up glass finish video! You can't leave out that step for a show car.
Every time I watch one of your videos I end up thinking to myself "self, you could paint your own car -- it's just paint." Then by the next morning, that confidence is gone... so watch the videos in the morning.
nice video and you have alot of good stuff please dont stop sharing!! correct me if im wrong but is that a flat spot in center of the rear bumper cover i see it at around 25:50 either way sometimes youll have that with plastics.
Another nit pic that just can't look at it as a great job - I used to say to your type - "where's yours" and they would immediately shut up because they didn't have one, didn't do their own work or their work sucked - which case applies to you??
Awesome series! Im currently planning to do similar to my Prelude. Any suggestions on any dents at the A Pillars? Where windshield, hood and fender meet?
I’m restoring a 1980 Camaro in my garage. Due to paint being completely bad I’m going to have to strip it to metal. I know I need to put epoxy primer on it. What spray gun should I get? I’m planning to do epoxy primer, base, and clear.
I think shops like yours can usually make paint look better than factory, but I was just wondering if it's more durable... especially given that you can pick and choose the type of paint you use and the number of coats. Does the modern body filler hold up well with cars driven every day?
It’s definitely more durable. Out the factory it probably only has about 2.0 mils of paint, he probably put down at least 4 mils.. and the clear coat he used is much higher quality. Rock chips for example definitely won’t chip down to bare metal on this paint job that’s for sure
Why would you use glazing putty over something like Slick Sand? Is glazing putty for slightly larger imperfections or is it 6 of 1 and a half dozen of the other?
Great video young man!!!! I only say this because ,you guys should be provided this from management, invest in vacuum sanders guys, Whether it is Festool, Mirka, Eurovac, 3M or Rupes. They all work great and man will guys have a cleaner workspace. Cheers Hotrod, William
THE RIGHT AND PROPER WAY TO EVER DO A RESTORATION ON A CAR HUGE SHOOT OUT TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT HAS BEEN HANDS ON BRING BACK THE TURN OF THE MILLENNIUM CLASS CIVIC BY FAR THE BEST LOOKING CIVIC COUP EVER MADE AMAZING GREAT JOB ON ALL THE STEP OF THE WAY TO GETTING THIS END RESULTS ON THE PAINT BRIAN AND CREW ✌🏼OUT
Hi, sorry if this is a noob question but why only 2 coats of clear? I would have thought a couple more coats would have given a bit more depth and to leave lots of room for flatting and many rounds of polishing it might get over the years it might attend shows. With this much effort into the prep and base is there a negative to more clear coats?
So glad i came across your channel. You went ham on the EM1. Awsome. Correct. Its got to be blocked by hand only being very careful not to round off all the nice sharp body lines
Can you use the same primer for bare metal as you do for rest of the car? My trunk, roof and hood are cracked and need to be taken to bare metal but the sides of my fairlane are in good shape and just need sanded and sprayed. Also can I get away with taping the trim off down the sides because it would be really difficult to remove?
Brian, Incredible paint work. Can you list the materials used from primer coat up? the roof received DTM primer but other panels did not. Can you list what exactly was used on the roof as I suspect all the other panels received the same materials. I was watching the video and all of a sudden the car was red after the sanding. Was that sealer or was that primer? Thanks!!
Than you Brian, for all those great videos! After you painted the 1st side of the hood, and you go to paint the 2nd side, does it require sanding the edges?
Do you guys wipe down your plastics with adhesion promoters prior to spraying them? Just curious how the new paints are. I haven't had the fun of being in a paint booth for going on 10 years.
Worth more than the car! Sheesh. My hatch needs a new paintjob as the previous owner had a cheapy done. All of it needs to be sanded off as it chips so easy...
Amazing work Brian, your the reason why i got into spraying, its so fun and rewarding. I have a few questions because ive been a follower for a while and noticed the early steps were slightly different. Why no sealer on the body? Also is it because its a restoration you want that glassy shine rather than oem orange peel??
If you have real good paint/panels to start with, and you aren't doing a color change, you can avoid using a sealer coat. The theory is, the less coats you need to spray on, the glossier/flatter the finish will be before cut/buff. And yes for this restoration and many others they want a glossier and flatter finish. For production/slam jobs or non-completes you typically want to aim for an OEM orange peel to match the rest of the car.
I'm going to be doing this to my Sierra (total tear-down for a color change). It's like a "fire engine red" now, but I'm doing it in WA9077 (medium metallic red). Only difference really is that I'll need about 30X more paint to do mine. And a bunch of scaffolding! :D
Jeez. I feel like I’ma have to bring several of my cars down from NJ to FL just to be painted by you. Finding a shop with this quality of work is difficult.
Yall do some great work. Curious why you didn't mask off the center and 2 side vents(fog light area) of the front bumper? If your going for true OEM restoration, those areas were not painted from factory.
Here's maybe a dumb question related to your paint mixing system which I know you occasionally mention and have covered slightly more fully at one point and maybe I'll just have to take the time to go track down that video again, but what happens when you are mixing your paints, toners, reducers, etc. if you* accidentally do something like: a. rest your finger or the pouring container onto the receiving container momentarily and exceed the fl.oz weight of the remainder of the liquid you have to pour. Does it immediately say "Now for the next component..." or does it wait for you to hit a Next button on that touch screen when you are within a margin so if you take your finger off and once again have 5fl oz left to pour it doesn't jump ahead of you and waits for that? or: b. overpour a component significantly enough to affect the desired finish. Will the system automatically recalculate and go back to already added components to recalculate what needs to be added to get back to the desired colour? *you = not necessarily you, but anyone who might be tired, weak, training, etc and makes such a mistake on a rare occasion.
Am local. How do I get in contact with you. Would love for you to re paint my car. Accord CM8. It’s been repainted recently but it was a low budget and the quality show Please let me know.
That's cool to see all the imperfections when the body filler is sanded. Withe the nekad eye you'd think it looks good but body filler showed it needed it. Pretty cool!
Thats the kind of body work i want on restoring my late dad's fishing truck which is now my daily daily driver, a 02 Dodge Dakota SXT club cab truck. Just a little 3.9L V6 and rear wheel drive. Get her repainted Mopar Tor Red color and after that , retire her for summer car show duty for good.
I'm so glad you highlighted the fact that this type of work is very, very labor intensive (ie: hours and hours), therefore expensive to do.
Also glad you didn't uncover any hidden previous major repairs you would have had to address and increase the bill.
Awesome work!
Thank you for putting up a video like this. I will show my customers I am a mobile auto body man and sometimes people are unrealistic. They want this type of bodywork and paint job done for like $1200.

@@pawpawbandit3871 paint guns could go up to $2000 for an inexperienced person couple hundred bucks for a halfway decent spraygun material depending on the color you want about six to $700 and I don’t know if you could rent a compressor. It might be cheaper to buy.

Not sure what was so special about this particular car to deserve such a careful restoration, but it is beautiful. Very nice job!
It's one of the Golden years for Honda tuners. Around 1995 through 2000. Em1 is a step down from si. They go for bucks these days.

Nice I just did a $3.50 paint job on a Camero 😂 luckily it's mines but that looks great thanks for the tips and tricks appreciate u man keep it coming watching an learning alot thanks 🙏
Where can I buy the long sanding blocks they where using?
Durablock or big kid blocks
10:15
Skipped ahead. Went from primer to red primer or was that trying to paint them re-doing it?
You are so talented! I wish I could afford to have you do this to my 99 EM1. It's the same color and needs a paint job! I have watched enough videos I am tempted to try it LOL.
It is definitely harder than it looks but once you perfect the art of painting its as easy as breathing 😊
Been painting 10+ years now
@@kareemmeerak9360I think mastering body work would be priority. Bad body work can't be hidden by paint.

What do you do for plastic bumper covers that are semi-flexible? Do you need a plasticizer?

Watching you paint is so therapeutic...😌
What budget spray guns would you advise for a beginner to purchase. For prime,paint and clear coat please
Beautiful job Brian one question how long do you wait until masking the inside painted parts before you paint the outside doors trunk hood
Unmask in 3 hrs. Flip and paint in 24
Your paint quality and skills are absolutely incredible. Great work
Why would you use glazing putty over something like Slick Sand? Is glazing putty for slightly larger imperfections or is it 6 of 1 and a half dozen of the other?
I saw a small nose hair center line of the passenger side about 5/8th of an inch up from the lip of the hood. Did you get it buffed out ok?

Do you change spray gun when applying clear coat
I’m working on a resto job…what was the clear used for this project?
What is the black spot on the Roof Rail? 15:55
My mixer don’t add reducer to our paint so it’s thick covers super easy spray a bonnet fender and half of a bumper with a pint of paint
Your a beast, you’ve taught me some much with your videos much appreciated.
Do change spray when applying clear coat?

could you mix color then add reducer as you paint? and what would pot life be on reduced or not reduced color? Thank you @paint society
You've got the best vids out there!
Looks excellent what clear did you use?
Sikkens hs plus

Also you can get eastwood epoxy primer

After you painted the 1st side of the hood, and you go to paint the 2nd side, does it require sanding the edges?
Does painting the cars pieces piece make the color appear different?

I used them when I used to paint bumper covers in a shop
Whats a good way to find shops that will do this when most are collision paint+body...?
What gun are you using for base coat?
Is wet sanding and buffing a requirement?
Will 2 coats of clear be enough to cut and buff?
What goes on after the dtm primer?
Worth more than the car! Sheesh. My hatch needs a new paintjob as the previous owner had a cheapy done. All of it needs to be sanded off as it chips so easy...
When you sprayed the first primer outside is the humidity an issue
Only 2 coats of clear? Does it do good with buffing?
Hs clear
Hey man, how long does a paintjob usually take you including prep and paint?
What are your recommendations when painting in the cold weather? I'm in ohio and it's getting colder as we go! Awesome work man I love your videos!
Amazing work Brian, your the reason why i got into spraying, its so fun and rewarding.
I have a few questions because ive been a follower for a while and noticed the early steps were slightly different. Why no sealer on the body? Also is it because its a restoration you want that glassy shine rather than oem orange peel??

Hey is there a reason you used a walcom to clear the body and doors nd the iwata to clear the hood
No reason. Just whatever I felt like using that day lol
@@PaintSociety witch one will you say is faster or better for someone who moves fast
I did this exact process when i lainted my EJ1 coupe Y56 yellow with a pearl black hood and roof. Its a lot of work but the finish is inarguable
I seeSagola - and Devillbiss Sagola base? Biss clear??
Is it best to paint fenders and doors how they are oriented on the vehicle or can you paint them while they lay flat on the stand!
If using Metallics it makes a difference.

I'm going to be doing this to my Sierra (total tear-down for a color change). It's like a "fire engine red" now, but I'm doing it in WA9077 (medium metallic red). Only difference really is that I'll need about 30X more paint to do mine. And a bunch of scaffolding! :D
I'm about to break down my Sierra also. Matt metallic moss green.
@@Daniel-nw5vv - Clear over the green though? An actual matt finish (like primer!) is impossible to keep clean.
do you think using different spray guns changes the finish of each body part.
No, especially because I am buffing everything down

We go back and paint those black afterwards for a cleaner finish

Here's maybe a dumb question related to your paint mixing system which I know you occasionally mention and have covered slightly more fully at one point and maybe I'll just have to take the time to go track down that video again, but what happens when you are mixing your paints, toners, reducers, etc. if you* accidentally do something like:

*you = not necessarily you, but anyone who might be tired, weak, training, etc and makes such a mistake on a rare occasion.
The system will re-calculate and make you repour the other toners to equal it out again.
How long did you wait between each item after mixing the paint? Just trying to determine the shelf life.
Amazing hope don't mind me asking what psi was you shooting the clear at
Dude! I wanted a follow up to this after you put it all back together and waxed and polished it. Please tell me you have that content!!

That's cool to see all the imperfections when the body filler is sanded. Withe the nekad eye you'd think it looks good but body filler showed it needed it. Pretty cool!
Very interesting. Love the video. What would it cost to go to bare metal and start from scratch?
Probably 5k more
This is why I park a billion miles away from people!!!
People have zero clue how much work paint is - and how fragile paint happens to be
And add another 2k or more for complete cut and buff@@PaintSociety
12k or more for cut and buff additional..Awesome paint job..
hey Bryan did you block the primer before 600 da or you don't have to
Thats the kind of body work i want on restoring my late dad's fishing truck which is now my daily daily driver, a 02 Dodge Dakota SXT club cab truck. Just a little 3.9L V6 and rear wheel drive. Get her repainted Mopar Tor Red color and after that , retire her for summer car show duty for good.
Why not just spray poly on it if you’re gonna lay down that much filler
You can. Thats an option
Why would you choose one method over the other? @paintsociety
I was going to say the same. Slick sand, you’ll never go back
@@Ben-kl2evHow does that compare to their Evercoat Featherfill G2 Polyester Primer?
@@tnasituning8173 I personally think outta of all evercoats polys, featherfill sands the best
What is the price for all?
Lovely work. Where are you located?
Better than from the factory! Great job
nice joke
