Auto repair guys, the guys who fix other guys stuff. All by moving these guys and those guys. To reach this guy and replace these guys.
Do you guys know what I’m saying about the auto repair guys?
Thank you. You have given me hope in repainting my car. As I know that the paint job won't be very great with rattle cans but it can at least be sorted out afterwards
I've painted my Silverado with rattle can (3$/can) and it look good tho, was afraid to do it but I will give it a try now too !!
Yeah, same here, I painted my Civic with Rustoleum rattle cans........at this moment I'm letting the clear coat dry so I can continue with it. I've seen so many great long lasting results from people using spray cans, as long as every step along the way is done correctly the results will be fine.
Great! Thank you so much for explaining and showing how you do this!
Amazing work guy’s. I wish you could do a paint job on my car. Keep up the good work, you’re very informative 👍
Nice outcome good to see a lot of orange peel being removed and a good result thanks for taking time to upload
Vrhunski odrađen posao , svaka čast majstore !
Amazing I'm going to paint my truck with tractor paint. And I am going to use the things I have learned here to make it look amazing.
For the record this guy doesn’t know how to use an orbital sander. NEVER use it at an angle!
For those wondering the difference FEPA and US CAMI, P1500 = 800 US CAMI and P2500 = 1500 CAMI.
Result is great. Less great is that you use dirty polishing pads when buffing, at least it seems so. What about holograms after polishing. 95% you have to finish with a DA polisher to remove these fine scratches (they leave some clouds on the paint).
Mate idk what they're doing but u can still see sanding scratches through their polishing, prob didn't clean sandpaper and rubbed dirt into it and go deeper scratches
Challenge: Do a shot of vodka every time you him say "OK"
By the end of the video, you will be Russian drunk... prove me wrong
Good vid but there are a few problems with this method and a few misinformations. First and foremost orange peel like that is caused by poor gun setup, not the right materials for the temperature or user error. If undergoing this procedure use at least 3 coats of clear or you will rub too much off and loose protection on your basecoat.
Secondly by doing this you will have glass like finish that doesnt match the strucrure of the rest of the paint and mostly looks awfull and repaired to everyone that knows anything about paintwork.
Thirdly as stated before this method usualy isnt used in bodyshops. The only thing we polish are local dirt nibs, the off the gun finish should look as good as the factory paint. We only do this on more expensive cars (bentleys, lamborghinis, etc - cars which are wetsended and polished from factory)
I understand this is diy, but probably better to perfect the painting strategy to only sand out dust nibs (yes it is possible at home). Thats why good bodywork is expensive it takes time to learn.
Anyways dont take this as me being a wiseguy just correcting some points you made in the video, and to tell you practice makes perfect.
Besides that very good content guys! Keep up the good work
thanks for that. the supplies used are a bit expensive for a small one-time-project (guitar). I tried using old polish compound from 1980 and it didn't do anything, the dull sanded spots are still visible, so I figured i should just apply another clear coat and live with the orange peel. any idea how i get that wax stuff off?
@@LassetUnsSpielen the only way to get it of is a silicone remover. You can get it at any paint supply store, clean it with it at least 3 times, sand the clear coat and clean again
@@timiracko6317 wow, damn, i thought i was almost finished. thank you
You said it best. And the orange peel was still there at the end.. so when you say you sand out dust nibs, you clear, sand, clear , sand , clear?
@@wallncuz3109 no when the nibs are sanded they are only polished. There will always be dust nibs no matter what. But the point is to only sand the nib and not flatten the sorrounding clearcoat so the structure stays the same
According to the house of Kolor ,and i completely agree with them, using more than 400 to 600 grid does not help for the new paint to stick to the old one !
So I’m curious. Does the car stay like this? Or do the compounds fade in a couple months?
How long after the clear is sprayed and dried do you have to wait?
You need to learn how to spray properly before you do anything else.
I think this is for people who have bought a vehicle with a bad spray job and are wanting advice on how to sort it out on the cheap.
sprayed y classic car and parts came out like this but its not clear coat its gloss paint 2 pak will this work for just the paint
Yes mate. 2k or direct gloss can be flatted and polished. It’s messy though because you’re colour will come off as you sand
Whoever painted that needs to get slapped and fired
not sure if I can fire myself.
Lololol🤣🤣🤣👊🏿👊🏿 can't fire yourself boss shyt💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿👑👑👑
Lol that’s what mine looks like after spray painting it.. at least I see that I am not completely shit out of luck
If you have a DA machine you can also folow up with 4k and 6k sanding discs on it and polishing will be allot easier.
I usually do 2,3,5 and finish with 8000 and makes life a whole lot easier for buffing.
@@calebforester418 not being a smart a** but you're spending way too much time & effort & that sounds like a lot of unnecessary clear is being removed. With the right compounds & buffers I never sand above 3000, a lot of times I dont even go that high. I use a 15mm throw DA with 5in disc. For heavy cut I would use 3M Perfect It #1 but it dusts way too much so I switched to V32 from Chemical Guys IF I need a super agressive cut. Just changing from heavy pad to orange or lighter will adjust to a med cut. Then I follow with "3D- ONE" on my Griots polisher (8mm throw) . The 3D-ONE is a hybrid compound that you can orange (or yellow) pad first then, use same compound on white or black pad & it finishes as a polish with a very nice shine. Most times the 3D-ONE with a yellow pad is more than enough for heavy/moderate correcting so I'll just go orange then white (All Hex Logic pads). U will save a lot of time & end up with the same quality finish . Hope that helps
@@stranger07.44 sorry I'm pretty new to this but, will my dual action polisher work to polish these types of scratches after sanding? And will I need a hard pad and strong compound?
@@thomas9434 a rotary is something you should avoid as a novice. The reason ppl use DA is it's a better finish & it's kinda idiot proof l. I've tried to burn paint with a da and but with the newer compounds, the quality is good enough that messing up is harder than it used to be. U can cut orange peel with a Da, a yellow pad + V32 from chemical guys but a wet sand would be faster then buff with a medium compound and an orange pad. And polish with a polishing compound and a black or red soft pad
@@stranger07.44 I've just sanded a bit down but there's a colour change that needs Sorted, going to hit it with the da, orange pad + farecla g4 pro and hopefully it blends ok, then try using a softer pad and my autoglym polish?
(Using these items since they're local to me)
What a great video 👍A question if I can.I have a old 1600E cortina that was resprayed 15 years ago with heavy orange peel do I use the same technique to remove or not.
Regards
Mark.
unless its 1 step paint...it should work the same
great video. this is what i need to do, i recently painted my truck with good products and had orange peel on it from the clear coat
I sprays my car a few days ago with 2k clear aerosol, and the result was total orange peel. I thoroughly sanded with 1500, followed by 2000, 2500, and 3000. I then buffed it with farecla G3 paste, and the result was a hazy and slightly shiny finish? I then resanded with the same paper grits as before, and improved the finish quite a lot, but it was a really long slog,cand the result still isn't as good as a paint shop,cany ideas what i might have got wrong?
That’s not good I can still see the sanding scratches looks clear in the shade go outside in the sun you’ll be disappointed
rigth, did you see how they avoided to show the paint under the sun, bro now it looks worse as the scratches are going to show even more than the orange peal now, still needs to finish with a DA and fine polish and new pad
Hahaha his assistant like to put waaaaaaaaaay to much product, dude would keep saying lite layer and then he would glob it on... was funny to watch
nice job man
Thank you..great video
Learn how not to spray and not get orange peel ? that would be my solution.
Exactly what I was thinking.
🙌🙌🙌
Great job
That painter should not paint again haha
thats what i thought 🤣🤣🤣
are the details in the description below?
Can I buff the paint after wet sanding with an orbital buffer? I have a Griots Garage random orbital buffer. Basically it does the same thing but it also moves side to side so you can't burn the paint and the buffer you have only goes in a circle.
So I have a large orbital waxing/polish machine, but the pad does not come off, you just slip something over it. Can I use this type of machine for a compound?, Or I have a Dewalt random orbital sander, would this machine work?
Please nobody machine polish like this!!!! I've never seen so much product wasted in my life
I'm glad I'm not the only one
Me too i ll be fired if my boss see me doing that. I Aldo wonder what the car is going to look after the first wash. All that compound is just hiding the real resault
They should use UA-cam to educate themselves 🤣 what a waste of time product and everything 🤦
Anything more than a fingernail size is unnecessary, you actually cause more swirl marks with to much polish, because the courseness of the compound is very abrasive.
Also I would love to see this after its first wash
I noticed when he was showing the 3M compounds and the buffer, he said "we ran out" so we're gonna use the Turtle Wax.
Well, if you wouldn't bathe the quarter panel in 3 cups of cutting compound you might still have some left, just saying.
Thank you for replying,I have a tin of paint which came with the car,it is ,Biloxi Cellulose Enamel.what do you think.
Regards
Mark.
Drinking game: take a shot everytime he says guys
Nevertheless it's a very good tutorial.
Level two: drink everytime he says OK
Nice 👍🏼
Efekt końcowy tragczny, mnóstwo rys po papierze ściernym. Polerowanie na totalnie niskim poziomie... Tak jak i samo lakierowanie. Masakra 😒
nice job
This guy sounds like that gay french driver from Talladega knights
You never ever want to cut and buff on a 1 layer clear paint job like this. That leaves no material to protect the paint. I always lay 3-5 coats of clear if I’m planning on cutting (2 coats if not cutting). He also said he used water/wax spray as a lubricant while buffing. You have to wait 60-90 days on fresh paint before using a sealant. Oh my there’s so much wrong in this demonstration.
I'm confused. Isn't a sealant a type of primer to cover any breakthroughs from prepping with with a fine grit of sandpaper like 600 grit? It seals it from having a side-effect of painting. They call it a wet-on-wet.
@@jq8792 did 2 layers of coat and still got paint off.. so mad lol
@@jq8792 Sun is dangerous
@@s.c.o.t.t.7743 not while the paint is curing. Pulling your car outside and inside heat cycles your paint and speeds up full cure. I learned that from some of the best painters around.
@@jq8792 Really, I haven't heard of that, thanks. When you spray do you wet the entire floor, walls and intake filters? Very handy to avoid dust flaws on the finish. I would like to know where you start spraying and where you stop from professional advice.
14 times said "guys" in 1 minute😅
Thank you for the simple guide video. Will redo my clear coat after watching this video.
Thanks I just had my car painted, n have a lot of orange peel thank you,,
hi,
I was wondering if the paint job was already clear coated or is this procedure prior to clear coating?
Yes this after clear coat
Great vid! Thank you so much! THIS WORKS!
Looks incredible. Great work!
Thank you sir......My car is pitch blk so I plant to use exact same steps in a couple days.
can you only fix it like that if its the clear coat that has orange peel ? or if color paint had orange peel as well can this be fixed like this too?
Can I do this a day or 2 after putting clear coat on
What if it looks like that but it doesn’t have a clear coat on it. Can I use the same method?
What does redlining a parked car and showing tips of tailpipes have to do with this video?
17.02..are you blind? There is DEFINITALLY orange peel there..the reflection is not smooth
dude that's just so bad to much product.... you put on thr wax.... with wax on clear coat you cant polish becousr wax in,invisible barier between pad and product for polish in this case 3M polish paste😂😂😂😂😂😂
Will this add horsepower to my 5.4?
I layed down 5 coats of clear coat
The more clear coat I put down, the less orange peel I had.
Car is so shiny i can see who is filming u..lol
Hi everyone I am a complete noob when it comes to painting cars so was hoping for someone to be able to answer a question of mine. I have a honda civic and wanting to change the colour from silver to black. If I buy some crap $80 paint sprayer from amazon I assume it will result in a orange peel. Would I be able to just repaint the whole car with that and then do this process afterwards? Would this work and how decent would it look? Thanks!
First of all i see on this video is wrong 2 finger nail compound is enough,and next time use a new polish pad even when you working in a black car ,please show the end results in direct sun light🤣🤣🤣
Is the process easier if the orange peel is in my clear coat? 3 layers was sprayed back to back without time in-between- im not sure, but i think i suppose to wait between layers but how long?
Every clear has different times in between coats, that's called , flash time.
My Aygo has it and I’ve just noticed. I couldn’t care less about the uneven light finish. Mine is along the bottom edge on either side. Can this make rust easier?
That’s probably stone chip coating rather than orange peel, it’s to protect it from road debris causing chips and rust, most cars have it these days.
Thanks guys, i need to do one whole side of my EP3 after bad a hedge scratch spray job from a previous owner!
Where are you from? Greece? Bulgaria? You have an interesting accent I’ve never heard something like it before.
I can lay down some serious orange peel. I am by NO means a professional. This video gives me hope that I can unfuck it. 👍
I plan to recoat over my existing clear coat on roof of my car. Its a 2014 car. Should I use 1500 grit or lower?
Where is clear spray ....u did sanding 1500 2500 3000 then cutting compound n polish n buff
That’s interesting the way you load the compounds onto the paint and then run the machine. Seems like an easy way to deal with the stuff
Was thinking the same. Never thought of that.
You guys are the best, you keep it simple and easy, never overdoing and overthinking things. Thanks for your practical videos
Pause / freeze the frame at exactly 10:29 - our friend has devil's horns! 😄😄
Wrong method they should prime the pad with compound and work it not paste the surface leaving it time to dry
Certain people in Bikini bottom have that underwater accent!
Can i use ultimate compound and polish as substitute for those 3 bottles?
Yes
Look in the light and the reflections, a lot of scratches from the sanding. This is not the way to do it.
I start detailing this year... i still learning... but i do it better than him.... with a 1/5 of the wast material
I just painted the side of my truck and it's not as shiny as I would like so this is going to help me, Thanks for the information
does this method work and on a plastic parts if i have orange peel ?
Yes as long as there is enough clear on the part.
Глава си давам от английския ти си личи че си българин! Но това Ок ок Ок след ссяка дума е малко натрапчиво неприятно иначе добра работа благодаря ще ми е полезно
If you're new, use a dual action polisher as you can easily burn through or create holograms
Problem with using a DA is you’ll be there a lot longer for something like this
@@bendude6748 not if you use the correct product and pad
@@RedlioNxTR You might get somewhere close but a rotary will cut faster
@@bendude6748 sure, that's why I'm saying if u are new..
@@RedlioNxTR yes good DA like my Flex forced rotation works a treat no need for rotary.
Damn you put way too much compound
Slippery slope. If you don't have a paint depth gauge done even try this, if it's repainted then your rolling the dice, if you done keep at least 2 mills of clear your paint will fade over time.
A paint depth gauge does not tell any body how much clearcoat is left on that panel, it tells you how much paint is on the whole panel from the clearcoat all the way to the substrate. So unless you know how much film build you have on your clearcoat, then a paint depth gauge is irrelevant.
@@nathancarruthers254 it's not irrelevant, it gives you an idea, typically on vehicles from the last 20 years you should never go below 3.8-5 depending on the starting number. For example my scion had an average of 4.2 starting and I know from experience that Toyota and most Japanese vehicles have thin layers I would never go below 3.8. It's a tool you use in conjunction with knowledge and experience. If a customer tells me I want every scratch out I explain to them basically your paint will fade much faster and I won't be liable for and damage.
@@dustin3700 yeah OK so youre right that it will tell you if a panel has had previous repair work, as long as you have the knowledge like you say. But when I say irrelevant I mean that because you literally only have the film build of the clearcoat to polish which should usually be around 30 to 40 microns depending on the type of clearcoat used the other 150 microns that the micrometer is reading doesn't mean a thing. I've seen so many people (especially traders) that come with a scratch that has clearly broken the clearcoat down to the base coat and say I've checked it there's 200 microns on there so it'll polish out. Well these guys need to throw their paint depth gauges in the bin because all we have to polish out before paint work is potentially 30 microns upwards. Even then it's a risk because if its anything over 90-110 microns it's probably been painted and then if that's the case, we don't know how much clearcoat has been applied previously and is it UHS, HS or MS. Has it been put on with a 1.2 1.3 or something else. Has the previous repair flatted it loads prior to polishing, did he get a run in that area and has already flatted it out so that area is already very thin. So many unknown variables when it comes to polishing factory or aftermarket paintwork that people don't consider and think because they own a micrometer, they can fix anything!
@@dustin3700 also you do right not taking any liability for faded or damaged paintwork
@@nathancarruthers254 True, paint correction is just a risky business in general especially on newer vehicles where you don't even have enough clear on most vehicles do even do a "heavy cut" those days are pretty much gone. The clear is just to thin and soft. I wonder how the new cars will look in 20 years. I think ceramic all in one polishes are the best route for the daily driver, takes almost nothing off, fills well and can last 6-12 months with maintenance.
sorry but it didn't happen because it looks like there are traces of 1500 sandpaper when you look closely, you should have put a paste with felt, the scratches will come back on the sponge
Shoulda started with 800 holy shit
How many days after painting should we remove orange peel
First off all , you have to tape the edges and around the lights ,second of all , 1500 is way too rough to use on clear coat , you should start with 2000 , then , 3000 , finally 5000 then buff it.
His work looks great, he apparently knows what he's doing!
lol why don’t you post a video showing how it’s actually done then . You’re all theory and no action .
Oh when he first started my bones were hurting listening to the dirt
I know you said terrible orange peel but the sound of turbo orange peel is even better.
I tried to do this but it didn’t come out I’m not sure if it’s because I used 2k clear coat when painting my car
Minutes more like hours!
Just use denim pad on DA with heavy cut compound. Saves alot of headache.
When I do research it says use 400 grit or 600 grit for cleat coat
Thanks for sharing really helpful!👍🏼
Thanks for the content. Really helped me after my touch up on the rear bumper showed a lot of orange peel.
Many thanks
So did you just sand and compound and polished or used clear coat as well ?
Dude, can i fix the hood wrinkle/ chemical reaction paint on the bonnet by buffing?
Wrinkling can only be fixed by a complete repaint
Drinking game.
Take a shot every time he says
"O.K." 🥳🤣
I passed out 3 minutes in.
I used 800 grit before basecoat now after clear coat and buffing I can see deep circular marks. Any idea what I done wrong?
Wet sanding is 1500-2000 800 is too hard
there is still orange peel just not as visible
Come over to New York State and wet sand mine
The link provided For the polisher isn’t the one used in the video can you please let me know what polisher and model you used thanks in advance
it's a Chicago Electric polisher from Harbor Freight (home brand)

How hard are you pressing?
What if u have a clear mix into the paint??
