    Though I don't like the colour, I love the paintjob en the work you put into it. And I wonder if it is necesary to use a special kind of paint to withstand the wear and the use of these machines, like the kind of paint they use for lathes and such.

    • @inthehomeshop
      @inthehomeshop  Місяць тому +1

      YT just notified me of your comment and others a few months later! Sorry!
      So for lathes and such, they're typically a powdercoat or an industrial paint. Automotive paint and clear, ACTUAL automotive paint and clear will hold up perfect on these and very easy to clean. I've done many of these in simple color changes, pearl whites, and a few flake/candy jobs like this purple one for my family. Its been a few years now since I did the flaked ones and they're still in perfect condition(mother in law, sister in law, sister, and mom all have the flaked ones). Hope this helps!

    And I know you're using auto paint for this with metal flake, but are there other paint types you'd recommend for this application as well? If not, how would you go about prepping paint for a sprayer and cleaning the sprayer afterwards?

    Thanks for the guide. I just took mine apart. Will be hand sanding it with 400 grit.

I am also thinking about using paint remover vs hand sanding, which is better?

      There's no sense in using a paint remover. The surface will still need to be abraded prior to paint.

    Love this! Most videos I've seen don't go through the disassembly process and simply use masking tape to cover off parts that don't need to be painted. What do you think about that and why did you choose to disassemble?

    • @inthehomeshop
      @inthehomeshop  4 роки тому +2

      These bigger ones HAVE to be disassembled. The "lift" mechanism specific to the Pro models slide up and down, there's no way to paint behind on the neck due to it being covered.
      I understand why some just tape them up and on the tilt head models, its easier. Ive done it both ways on the tilt heads, full tape up, and full disassembly. there are some pieces that are just easier to tape up than remove. However, not taking the effort to see how one comes apart and just taping it instead is just laziness. I disassemble as much as I can and tape up what can be left without effecting the final result.
      Pro models like in this video, no exception, they come apart too easily, and I will ONLY paint these disassembled.

Yes, the clear has to be sanded flat prior to next step. Flakes, as you see in the video, produce a hell of a texture that has to be buried in clear and smoothed over. Thus is why it takes a few coats of clear and sanded flat with 600. The candy process.....not sure whats confusing there. Sand, mix, spray.

    You did a beautiful job and you used professional level products instead of rattle cans, YAY!

More specific content on choosing paints, what type of spray system, solvents, processes etc. are what I was hoping to see when I landed here. You are skilled and have a great style for DIY instruction and I think you could be super successful on youtube, but sadly, this video misses the mark for actually instructing someone who wants to CORRECTLY paint their own mixer.
