Good advice. I have old over spray because someone decide to pain our door. I tried compound but its tough. I tested 5000 Grit on an area and it did the job very good. Use some of your favorite car wash shampoo with water to lubricate. Be light on the strokes don't apply too much pressure. Do a test area first. You will notice the difference instantly. I want to try 7000 My pain is old I don't want to destroy my clearcoat.
I painted the roof of my truck with a 1k urethane and, well, my freshly painted hood got painted as well. Tried clay, cutting compound, nothing touched it. Had to wet sand 1000 on up. Comprised 90% of my clear, gonna have to respray the whole hood. 10 minutes of prep could’ve saved me a day and a half of headache.
Please look into denim pads... If you haven't already. They're said to be the equivalent to 3k grit sandpaper. Two ways of using then, depending on how aggressive you are: To remove orange peel or to remove over spray. I'm thinking about purchasing a pack myself but would love to see your thoughts.
I began using a da last year on my Volvo, and due to subscribing to and learning from your videos, I did a decent job correcting the paint. I recently found a car I couldn't afford back in the day, but it needs paint correction. It's an 07' Acura RL and I believe it falls into the category of soft to medium clear coat. I don't want to mess up the finish on this old car, but I do want it to have the best finish I could provide. I could really use your expertise, and I'll begin with what I've done so far: I clayed w/a mit; bug&tarred, de-greased, etc. Did the mechanic cut with 3D One...using lake country 50/50....but it left a lot of scratches and car-wash remnants behind and not a lot of gloss. My local 3D distributor recommended that I use 3D AAT 505 to get gloss, and it worked....but the bulk of the imperfections remain, and I'm at the limit of my brief experience. Everything I've learned in the past year has been from you, but I need MORE help!
Bought a truck and thought the aluminum rims were just dirty and spotted from brake dust; - it turned out to be bed liner that the previous owner lined the wheel wells with. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, because so far nothing has worked.
Man I so needed this video. Working on a car that has over srpay all over the damn thing. 3D One and the HDO blue pad seem to be doing the job but have to make a few pass. Still have some areas to touch up.
I need help, I got a bass boat, the gel coat needed to be cut and buffed. But instead the guy who owned it bought rattle cam clear coat and spray painted the whole boat with the clear coat. I’m sure it looked good for a few weeks from 30 feet away. But now 5 years later i need to remove all the rattle clear coat, without hitting the gel coat. I’ve tried cutting compound, but I’m only polishing the rattle can clear coat. If I get hard enough on a slot I can finally burn through the rattle can clear coat and get down to the factory gel coat. But it will take 56 years to do the whole boat this way. Any ideas to remove the rattle can spray paint clear coat, coat?
Why do you want to keep temperature down? Obviously I'm here because I have overspray all over my truck pretty bad, all over my tail lights, headlights, plastic trim windows, everywhere. Need help!! Are you removing any of the ckearcoat using 3000 grit. Just bought the truck and wasn't ready to damage the clearcoat so fast!
I appreciate the video but it's a bit late for my scenario. I ended up clay baring the whole side of my Toyota Tundra. What a pain! I polished after but what a difference! Looks great👍
My car have been T-boned so I got new passager side doors painted.. well rest of the car have new scratches and overspray on the hood.. so like they dont even care
I used spray max 2k clear coat on a hood repair..BUT I didn’t cover whole car now the roof and half the sides are covered with over spray 🤦🏼♂️ any thoughts help !
Any advise to remove clear coat over spray? I failed to cover a side fender area I put clear coat on and the wind took it to the bumper. I used turtle wax rubbing compound and Meguiar’s compound (#1) but they didn’t work.
I had to go down to 400 but test it on a piece of sheet metal. DupliColor is pure trash it is a lacquer paint which doesn't last anyway. It'll never mix properly out of a spray can so go buy a spray gun and a used compressor and do it right. You will need good paint which isn't cheap.
Hi Brian, had a nightmare here a few weeks ago when a friend turned up in his WRX Impreza that prior to arrival was one of the best examples on this side of the planet with less than 10K on the clock & a six month old coating of Gyeon Mohs + (no, not me) Unfortunately his next door neighbour was respraying his 1980s Yamaha RD 350 (Kenny Roberts Yellow & Black) in his back garden. Bright Yellow overspray all over his Impreza & Audi Q5 which unfortunately had burnt through Mohs+ & into both vehicles clearcoats in the space of a couple of hours.. Impreza paint depth readings in 70-ish microns with some just below into high 60's so very unlikely to be enough clear coat to polish out thousands of burn spots without compromising what clear coat is left. Not a job I was prepared to take on irrespective of kind words about strikethrough should it happen, I didnt/dont need that stress. Any thoughts, potential actions appreciated ?
Your knowledge, experience, and common sense approach is the best I’ve seen. Thanks again 👍
🤣🤣🤣magic eraser has the effect

Interesting and helpful video Mr. Brian. Never been so early to one of your videos. Keep up the good work sir. 👍

Thanks for the lesson. I was expecting a rotory, but the old Boss will do.
See you next time.
It would be my choice. But most watching my videos use a DA.
@@apexdetail85 Brian I noticed in more recent vids that you use the M550. Does that thing get the job done or what? Would you buy another one? TIA!
Always wanted too knw if a DA. Was good enough too polish after. Wet sanding. Ty. Brian the answer Man

Another option...but for me personally...they create way too much heat.
Great video buddy
Very informative!!!

Thanx Brian.
Awesome video and tutorial good friend. Happy father's day good friend
If I know I have clear coat to work with, I like wet sanding. Thanks for the video.
Great video which I have already watched twice. Thank you!
That’s great to demonstrate the options. 😎
Great excellent invaluable advice!! Always enjoy these fantastic videos!!

You are a legend. You're keep it simple attitude works well. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
What grade wet sand should I use for stain overspray? Like wood stain.
You have made me try wet sanding in some trouble areas and it is a really useful tool. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Great to hear!
This is a great video Brian ✊I know people will look back on this one when they have an overspray problem 💎
Best thing for over spray removal is use a clay sponge that's what I use works great tfs buddy
Hey Brian im looking around for how to remove overspray on ppf but i haven't found any info on it just wondering if you had any advice on it thanks
Great video and info. Not many have covered this and this is a real problem for quite a few detailer doing paint correction. Keep them coming Brian!
It really is not. Magic Eraser and water has the outcome
@@danielralston466magic eraser will act like sandpaper. You’ll scratch the paint.
Thanks Brian this really helped answer my questions 👍
Can you show us your method for touching up small paint chips? Thank you sir.
He has several awesome videos showing step by step, the various methods be prefers, depending on time and budget. Check the playlists. 👍

Either way....its not a fun job.
Excellent pointers again
Nice
My car have been T-boned so I got new passager side doors painted.. well rest of the car have new scratches and overspray on the hood.. so like they dont even care
Great tips and tricks 👍🏼
Thanks Brian 👌🏼
2nd lol , love all the knowledge you share with us 💯👍
👌👍💯
My pleasure....much more to come.
That was an awesome instruction & information video. Thank you
Base coat reducer works the best
I used spray max 2k clear coat on a hood repair..BUT I didn’t cover whole car now the roof and half the sides are covered with over spray 🤦🏼♂️ any thoughts help !
Thank you for another Gem with this video!
When using on factory clear coat ,better 4000 or 3000 grit is safe for overspray removal ?
Over spray mostly come from if the car been wreck before these body shops paint the car and don't cover up everything 😂😂😂😂 they don't care tfs buddy
Any advise to remove clear coat over spray? I failed to cover a side fender area I put clear coat on and the wind took it to the bumper. I used turtle wax rubbing compound and Meguiar’s compound (#1) but they didn’t work.
May I ask how many Wats do your light reflectors have ? I have a 30W one and not sure if it is enough ... Thx ...
Thanks B!!!
Is another option for overspray, like a rain drop size overspray, on glass or paint can you use a razor with lubrication?
I use that for dust nibs.
Great tips!
Glad it was helpful!
What should I use to remove Dupli-Color Spray?..I sprayed on part of clear-coated hood and didnt like how it turned out.
I had to go down to 400 but test it on a piece of sheet metal. DupliColor is pure trash it is a lacquer paint which doesn't last anyway. It'll never mix properly out of a spray can so go buy a spray gun and a used compressor and do it right. You will need good paint which isn't cheap.
Beautiful job Brian. Just curious what solution was in the spray bottle looks like you used the same stuff to wet sand as you did for the clay bar
ADG Wipeout.
Good stuff
Did you dry or wet sand with the 3000??
Love it!
Do you have a video for irrigation overspray where the water gets etched into the clear?
Wet sanding covers that subject.
@@apexdetail85 thanks

A light polish is as far as I would go. What was left of that clear should be spared.
@@apexdetail85 Thanks Brian, I cant see the owner being able to live with it looking like a its got a major case of chickenpox.
Hi Brian how do i contact you for the Apex coating installer?
Thank you Sir
Welcome!
Cool
I miss the side by side comparison videos
EVERYONE is doing those these days. I would rather share more valuable info with you all.
Ever mind I saw it now lol
1st
Cheers!
I truly appreciate your support.
