Very technical and you broke it down in a simple way, really knocked it out of the park. Also I liked seeing it all come together and how you mimicked that factory finish perfectly! Keep up the good work!
BodeVision 👌
Thanks brotha! Would love to see you start doing some collision repair and blends. Road trip maybe to show ya some cool tricks!

Thanks Brian, I've been painting cars on the side off and on for over 40 years. I only do my own vehicles now and there is always new products/processes in place when I start a new job. Thanks for the refresher course.
Thank you for your time in producing this guide. I’ve been trying to do this for years, just painted a fender ( bumper, where I come from!) following your advice I got perfect finish... Wahooo.
You are a professional teacher I have learned so much from you, I have improved my skills due to your technique. Thanks for the teaching to all of us.👍🏻
I've been painting for 35 years and watched alot of other people videos but he really goes to great lengths to make this user friendly to beginners or more seasoned painters . I'm definetly subscribing !!!
Awesome videos! I’m starting my own shop. 15 years as a body/frame tech but lack knowledge in the paint department. Your videos are a great help! Keep up the good work! You’re helping!
Out of all the painting videos I've watched this is definitely without question the most informative and detailed. Great teacher. Brian you've nailed every video you've made.
Thank you !
Some of the best videos I have seen period! Been building my own custom cars, trucks and motorcycles for over 30 years (I do it all from mechanics to body and so on) and paint has always been my nemesis, these videos have made things more clear than anything I have been taught or shown before, the techniques make sense the way you explain them, TY a ton brother!
Best blend instruction I've ever seen. Nice job Brian
Jon thanks for those kind words!
Thank you for your insights on this subject of painting and your ability to not seem like a trip to the dentist!
Your teaching methods make it so relaxing to view, as if any one should be able to do what you have just taught us!!
This video is so refreshing!
Keep videos like this coming, please!
Thank you!
Brilliant vid. He’s super cool and his explanations are so good. Love his work.
Hey Brian, just want to say thank you for your simple and straight forward instruction and concept based explanations. IMHO silver metallic is the most difficult to blend. And you just NAILED IT on that Acura. Nicely, nicely done!
Thanks! And cool name!
Me about to do half my car silver metallic frost car with a rattle can😮

One the best teachers out there. Very professional. Great work. Great sayings. “It’s just paint” and “The learning doesn’t stop after the video is done”
Thanks for showing! I am an ammateur at car painting but I think it is really fun! I am working on my volvo 740 that has a long deep scratch on the right side so I've sanded it all down, fixed small rust spots and filled it in. Will paint it in spring when the temperature gets hotter and this was well needed to know how to properly do it👍
I stumbled on to your channel today. I have been in paint for 40 years or so. I found the way you explain each step very interesting. Just because someone is very intelligent or talented doesn't mean they can teach others what they know. It takes a special person to be able to teach/transfer your knowledge to your students. Looks like you have that ability! 👨🎨👍
Thanks for the kind words! Takes a real man to acknowledge and commend another. Thanks for your passion in this business !
Hi Brian, just had to say that was the best explanation of blending I have ever see. I have been a painter for a long time, opened my first shop almost 50 years ago. Unfortunately back then we did not have all the fabulous chemicals you have available today, they would have been such a blessing for the thousands of blend jobs I did for Braman in Miami. It was a lot of NC Lacquer and very slow thinners, so perfect jobs were difficult with our frequent weather changes I still love to do bodywork and paint but I don't have a professional booth nowadays, since retiring and selling the last business decades ago. I noticed you have an Acura shirt and work at the Pembrook Pines Dealership, I'm in Palm Beach now but lived in PP about a mile from your shop. I would love to shake your hand someday, no problem if you put on gloves and wear that HD Mask and a Trevek suit. (;-) Keep safe, Gary
Hi. That’s awesome. You can send me a message on Instagram and if you’re around you can always stop by. Thank you for your hard work in this business when products were far less advanced.
Thankyou for these life changing videos. It was an icing on the cake noticing we have the same guns I’ve been a painter since July not by choice but our painter left I was his helper. Started working at a body shop 3 years ago sweeping.
Bad ass man watched all your how to videos, bought myself a paint gun and the right tools, got my 96 ram back to factory condition thanks a million man. Im a backyard mechanic too so I did it in my car port with some plastic. Turned out fantastic!
Amazing demo Bro especially because the silver ones is one of the most hard colors to blend.
That’s why I chose this color ha!!
Brian your a legend, your vids and tutorials are priceless and such a great tool to have in itself. Keep them coming and thank you for doing this you install great confidence in anyone new to this ❤️
This is the best video for the trickiest paint job. Blending in small areas. You are a great teacher Brian! Thank you for all your videos!
Great content !! Love watching these .. I'm learning alot I'm starting to get into professional paint work and just need to learn as much as possible..
Stay tune to channel and to learn a bunch
Same I can lay it on good just need to set the gun right lol
Great job on that blend. You chose silver (a challenging color) so it would show any defects.
Can you make a video about how to blend even smaller damage on a large panel? Like a golf ball sized or tennis ball sized smart repair on the middle of a hood?
Thanks for taking the time to produce and edit these videos.
Super job! I’m in the process of doing 2 blend jobs on my truck. Just going for it. Thanks for putting this out there!
I'm astonished by your abilities! You sir truly are a master. I wish there were car painters as good as you in my area...
Man ! I wish they would've had YT 30 years ago. You've got to love YT ! You've got to love Brian !
Glad you found the channel!
Thanks, blood. I watched this like 5 times already. I really appreciate what you do for us.
"Don't overthink it. It's just paint.
Brian, I am a novice diver and I have painted some of my own projects so I'm always watching out for the next tips. I have never seen anything more simply explained. I just stumbled onto your channel and it was a good accident. It doesn't matter how many times you say " I'm getting it " you prove there is always more to learn. I like your energy and enthusiasm. Keep the great work going. New sub!
Javi. Welcome aboard to the channel. Thank you for those words. Stick around and I would love to see you comment on future videos.
So much great info in this video. Blending solvent, blending clear, using spray out panels, sanding out the sealer, blending additive. I'm totally wowed by the concept of using slow reducer regardless of temperature. I love this this video. It is like advanced training for painters. I didn't even learn this in the Collision Repair program. You are the best.
Amazing videos as always. So informative. Would love to see an in depth video on tinting if you get around to it
Thanks Jesse! The next problem color I have, I will pull out the camera !
I'd like to see a Start to finish pealing clear coat repair.
Peeling clear u want to strip it all off then etch prime prime sand and seal then paint when peeling clearcoat happens u must remove all the old clear or will peel again
You have to sand away all the clearcoat on the panel and prime and paint again
Depends how bad the peel was. I've had clear coat damage I just had to sand down reapply new clear buff and polish it. Then I've had some I've had to sand down to metal self etch primer, filler primer base clear wetsand buff polish
Let me guess 06-11 civic
? Get the crap off and respray
Excellent video. I've been a painter for over 30 years and enjoy learning new tricks/techniques from people like you. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Don It’s the people like you that have many years of experience in this trade that are still open to learning and appreciate the craftsmanship of others without hating, you are the real hero here
Another excellent instructional video. Thanks to you I got up the nerve to try a base coat clear coat repaint on a badly pealing hood on a silver 2006 Jeep Liberty and it came out amazing even though it was painted under a fold up awning in the driveway. I'm going to try some blending of the fender flairs and window sills on it now thanks to your very good how to on the subject. Thanks Brian. PS i have never painted car body parts before this. only sprayed small parts and things around the house. So proof that your passed on knowledge works for the beginner.
Thanks Brian. I’m no painter by any means, but with your instruction I feel confident in applying some color to touch up areas.
Thank you so much and I think with all of the instruction from the videos you will have the advantage
Great job man I’d like to here about the different air pressures
Will do a video !
I gotta say, you are the most helpful body work guy I've seen. I'm currently fixing the rusted out spots in my fenders and rocker panels. This is my VERY FIRST TIME ever trying body work. I like this video because I don't have the time or weather to do an entire panel. I'm only at the stage of prepping the surface and feathering the paint edge. I can only pray I get half the results you do. I'll try to send pics of the finished product hopefully for some tips on how to fix it, lol.
Why is Mark Ruffalo painting cars?
I see it
He's gotta be better at painting cars than he is as a comedian. He's about as funny as toothache .......
I have stumbled upon your channel at the right time. I’m just getting into painting again after about 30 years away from it and your channel and how-to’s are a Godsend. I’m getting fairly consistent results now but still struggle when things get wonky. I will be needing the blending techniques shown in this video pretty often in my flip projects. One thing I would love you to cover is paint matching for the DIY’er. I’ve been getting base just using the manufacturer paint code and they’ve been ok (blendable) until my last project. Apparently GM changed the formulation so much that I can’t really even blend it. Consequently I’m having to do a sand and paint on the whole car. Is there a way for a consumer to get an exact match without taking the car to a body shop for paint?
I’m glad you’re getting back into painting! For the diy you’re at the mercy of the paint shop. Some matches are good but most aren’t. I suggest you find a good jobber that will go the extra mile and show you the chips to help you match the color. It’s best to bring a part of the car in. Fuel door is ideal.
@@PaintSociety Thanks, Brian. I'll give that a try next time. Hopefully with the blending techniques you are showing it will keep the painting to an absolute minimum.
Great video. Thanks for posting. Just sprayed my jeep hood in my garage. The clear was peeling away. Amazing, not even a fly came by to visit and the overspray was next to nothing with the HVLP gun. Turned out great. The effort wasn't really any more than doing a good wax job and buff.
Brian yo atre the best teacher. my dad has body shop, he is very good at what he does, but your teachings are above and always updated as new products come out. thank you.
When you refer to clear base, is that just regular top coat clear or is that a special type of clear used for blending, etc?
It’s called
Blending additive. It’s clear basecoat
Can you advice what product the blending additive is and how it’s mixed ? Went to my local paint supplier however he hadn’t heard of it
@@derekmoir8015 I saw this online: us.lesonal.com/en/products/additives/basecoat-sb-blending-additive
I would Like to know what is “clear base”. Thank you!
U.S. Chemical & Plastics 1K SPOT Blender (USC-3680093)
Just ordered a can. it is a base coat with no color .
It's to blend clear so you don't see a line
Spot blender is different and never used on a base coat. Clear base is an actual base paint
@@seanw9412 clear base, does it come in an aerosol can?
I love this video! Definitely helps with the sand pitting/halo I would get when painting metallics.
Dude! That is dope. The reducer was something i never heard of and the way the cloth fell off the fender was flawless! No grit or grime. Slow is fast. Awesome!
Yo that blend technique was incredible i just used it and i am so excited my blend never look so good on BMW silver and it worked perfectly and i used Bulldog for my clear base. Thank you for sharing the knowledge. I so grateful.
Thanks for the lesson Brian...You make it look easy. Sure appreciate ALL your videos, Keep em coming!
Ive watched a couple of your videos, and i can't believe how detailed you explained all of the painting steps. You did an excellent job.
Im a newbie to this, so i have absolutely no experience. I just brought me an atom x16 mini-spray gun and plan on learning how to repair paint jobs, beginning on my own car, which has a silver metallic coat. But the biggest challenge for me will be is working without a garage and in an area outside where there are lots of trees, so I expect to pick up dust debris throughout the process.
You are probably the best teacher I have come across on you tube. We appreciate your efforts
Thank you, RR 2019 mustang with a keyed rear quarter panel, I had tried 2 times before I got your help, I am using rattle cans with ground and mid coat. Adding the blend agent work perfect. Thanks again Bob Ward
As a guy who is pretty much self taught and who does industrial painting of equipment, I have to say "Thank you!". Your videos are super helpful. So, Thanks!!! and keep em comin!
Thank you Don!
I dont even paint and I just came across this video. Very well spoken, and instructed.
Hi there just wanted to tell say, your the man we all can learn from 💯 I am Alloy wheel technician trying to move to painting cars. You are the reason why I want to do it! I won't let you down!
Thanks Rob

I have a Benz shop (BenzCareAuto), not a painter at all, in fact high end auto computer electronics mostly, but you helped me tremendously with the small things I have to do. Thanks so much!
Thank you, Brian! Very helpful information and I appreciate your light-hearted approach.
I love this channel I have been painting for about3 year's now I always did my my sealer then color blender after a whip of a tack rag ... Might try your way ... The more you know this info is valuable to painters who also want to get better. I like your thought on clear also how it darkens. I always just thought it was the hardner, makes the clear yellow.(like that's just the way it is sometimes)
Awesome video. I plan on trying to paint a vehicle down the road and your presentation was very easy to follow. Great job! Thanks.
Thanks a ton,well done .
Love how you make it simple no wasting of filler words
The last 10 seconds of the video shows a clean first class shop. Kudos Mr Brian
Thank you very much! Liked, subscribed and shared. My absolute favorite UA-cam channel by far.
Really liking your down to earth teaching style.
I painted two bumpers by learning from you and they both came out mad good .
Thanks for explaining the details Brian...very cool.
Awsome Job Brian! I’m learning soo much from you,Thank You.
Really good video. I'm going to get some paint fixed on my ride tomorrow and was just very curious with the blending process. Thank you, very well broken down.
Awsome Brayn I'm from costa rica your videos been helping me a lot .
Work in a little nice garage and I been practicing your tips very sucrfully .
Just want to say thanks .
Yes, your videos definitely deserves a big like. Thanks for the in depth explanation.
Thanks you and I Appreciate that !
Duide, you're the "Bob Ross" of auto painting. Brilliant job.
Sweet job good teaching,and prewetting the panel to wet it for the blend,solves a lot of problems in the process Thanks.
Great video. The skill in applying these techniques I find fascinating. I take my hat off to you!
Hi Brian, I'm enjoyed the information & clear instructions in this video. I look forward to viewing other videos on your channel.😄👍
Thank you Brian for your experience ,it has helped me a great deal ,I will watch a few times to get every thing in my head Thank you
Thank you. Very helpful and ENCOURAGING for the layperson to attempt a one-panel blend.
WOW! Looks Awesome Brian!
watched a lot of your videos and learned from them,i want to thank you because im about to start my dream job next week working at custom bike and rod shop,that is what i have always wanted to do and i am very excited ,hopefully i can learn more from my new employer he is a master builder,anyway thanks and keep the videos coming
Thank you man for the time you invested to teach your audience!
Great video. I learned a lot. I've done DIY spraying and never knew how people dealt with the gritty edge
Thank you so much for the helpful information.
I will keep following your amazing videos and your experiences.
Thank you for the very helpful tips. I have painted cars , however , I watched your video with a novice attitude as things and materials etc. have changed a lot.
I appreciate you watching the videos and still being open to learning after painting cars of your own
I commented on one of your other videos just the other day. You are a patient outstanding teacher. You have a great way of talking to people and just making people I think feel at ease. I spray the same Sikkens paint system. I just sprayed a 2021 Tahoe today basically the same exact repair with the same blend room that you just showed. I used the same techniques except I didn't have to mix the base with the clear base. It was 384 a and there's only two variations. Standard and darker and I went with the darker and I still had to turn my gun down to 17 lb to get it to not pop in the sunlight. I enjoy your videos and I really appreciate you taking the time like you do to educate people. I wish I would have had your videos when I was first starting! Job well done sir always.
Thanks so much for your comment Lee!!
Excellent tutorial Brian. Ive been subscribed for several months and learn something valuable with each visit. I have buddies asking me questions about paint like Im the guru, but i give credit where its due and always tell them to check out Paint Society. Keep em coming bro!
I just did this process. Way better than my approach I've done before. I'm not gonna lie, I was worried wvery step of the way but for silver I will never use another system. Ty
You're my hero. This is the best vid On blending. Thank you for sharing your expertise
you are the man! Even though I am still using duplicolor for blends right now I learn alot every video. You are such an inspiration. Ive always had the body work part down, its just the painting and being positive about the prep.
That is correct slower is faster been saying that for years glad I found some one that understands what we are talking about
Fewer guys actually understand this concept!
Thank you! I have learned a lot. My mistake in blending metallic was I did not use a clear base coat. SO I ended up with the bad blend edge. I will sand it down again and make use of the clear base coat. I will post my progress on my channel. Currently working on my Audi S4 rebuild. You will love it you see my home made paint booth... hehe .. Thanks again for your content! Keep it up :)
I enjoy watching all these videos and learning from them. Thanks for all your hard work going in to these.👍
Looked good...worked in a body shop for 2yrs with my father in law..he does it much easier way...but he been painting for 45 yrs...I learned alot from complete collision and frame work to paint..we sectioned vehicles did it all...and I felt like I learned nothing🤣...its a craft ..great video
Awesome! Definitely different ways to get the same result!
Very good mate I liked your video thanks very much I’m old school and learning the new paints and the way you apply them is different thanks again mate 👍
Thank you so much for your detailed explanations. You are a natural teacher, and very knowledgeable
i have a personal project coming up that's going to involve blending a repair area. I had already purchased some clear base, spot blender, and my metalic base.
Primer is done, and I was trying to solidify my strategy on how to make this look as good as I can. My thinking was on the right track, but your video made me realize there might be more steps to completion than I thought!
Oh, and another thing I picked up was you were using a finer grade of sandpaper than I thought I could use and get good adhesion. 👍👍👍👍
Excellent video! Thanks very much for your help and making this video. I now know why my blending wasn't the greatest!
Robert F.
I'd never heard of clear base until I stumbled onto this video. I've just been and bought some today and looking forward to trying it on my next silver job. Thanks a lot my friend 👍🏼
Glad it is helping you out. Definitely need it for silver.
Hey Brian great stuff man very helpful plenty of info from you thanks man
I'm so glad and blessed that I found someone like u ... slot of your technique made me confident
Another great insight on how to paint and blend . I have done some blending and a little goes a long way. Thanks .
Very helpful, thanks again for a great video, the learning for me with these videos never stop, can not thank you enough
Man..The best paint vids out there.
True professional
Fudge it's complicated! Good result, very useful information. No escaping a need for a great deal of practice.
It's one of the most satisfying things to watch. I hope some day I will get a nice gun and learn how to mix. Tired of messing around with rattle cans
Thanks man, awesome job, it does look exactly like the rest of the car, like it never happened. Wow, just wow. Excellent job. Extremely useful tips. Thanks again, you are the man!
Yup and funny thing is, is that it’s not a perfect color match but blending makes it look like it is.
You are the Master, thanks for explain all the details an a very slow way for people like me painting on my regular garage.😂
