This is the best channel I have found for a beginner to learn from! In the middle of repairing a 2000 Honda. This is my first time doing this kind of work. What I like is that you are "no non-sense" and get right to the point. You also use beginner level spray guns and other tools and you show they can work well. You also don't use a paint booth (like all home jobbers) and show how to deal with the dirt and fibers that we all have to deal with. Good Job!
I have a ‘15 Colorado that needs the roof top and hood repainted, and a canopy color-change. So shopping for materials and ran across your vid. Really great info here. I learned to paint in the mid-70’s back when lacquer was the norm. Centari was a favorite for years, but everything is now base/clear. I have never seen the 80% overlap, so that’s a new one. I tended to apply more paint per pass with less overlap, and still risked runs and sags. This is really great info and your finish looks fantastic. Thanks!
Thank you for all of the informational videos and yes definitely a video about correcting paint flaws like dust particles and lint would be most appreciated.
I took ROP body and fender in high school then worked in a body shop for a few months as a kid, as a cabinet maker spraying conversion varnish with an airless was second nature. Now I just bought a jeep Cherokee that could use some fresh paint, my body work days were 35 years ago, wondering if I can still spray a car ha ha ha.!!!
I've been restoring a table saw for a couple years now and this past weekend finally got to spraying the table saw base. I did primer and 3 top coats. Never used an HPLV sprayer before, but overall I'm satisfied with the result. However, there are some areas that do look a little dusty, such as at the edges, top and bottom. I'm debating putting a fourth at coat on just to establish a smoother finish overall. It would be worth it if the result is good, but what do you think? I know it's personal preference, but I've put a lot of time into this project so if one more coat with good application and settings would take it up a notch, I'm all for it. I can post a picture on my community page of what I'm talking about, if that would help anyone offer advice (no, I'm not soliciting traffic and views). Appreciate any feedback or tips. Thanks so much!
@@GarageNoise Already did primer, and 3 coats of top coat. It's a table saw and the paint is an alkyd enamel, so there won't be any clear on it. I think 80% laid down good, just a couple nibs and some sand piling on the rest. Not horrible either, but still there on my baby. I think I found your video looking up about doing a light sanding before I attempt a fourth coat. Although I don't know how well the enamel will sand since it's got a different hardness than the automotive paint. And thanks so much for replying!
I’ve been in it for 8 years as a prepper. I’ve been dabbling into spraying. I’m putting it on to wet. No runs. But with colors like Hondas Nh747m the way u apply it goes on too dark even tho I match the color fine and mix it up.
Thanks for sharing your skills with us Chris there is some very useful info here which will help me with my basecoat, mine used to go on quite dry and never felt smooth but a few weeks ago I started trying slow reducer (I used to use fast) in my base which has made a big difference as it's now nice a smooth which also helps my clearcoat finish👍John UK
I learned my lesson on using the right temp reducer the hard way, in 90° temp on a silver hood that I sprayed 3 time and I just couldn't get it smooth. I was so flippin frustrated! I flooded that hood with base and it felt like 180 grit sandpaper. Switched to slow reducer an it came out silky smooth. Appreciate the comment and support!
Hi recently sprayed a bonnet had some tiny pinholes in the clear coat showing down to the sealer paint has not adhered properly what is cause .Thanks great video's. 18:0918:09
Another excellent video Chris and it is so nice that you get down to business with no crap background music edited in and we can hear the spray gun working. When spraying clear with the Sagola did you have any of your portable exhaust fans turned on? as you did not seem to getting much overspray fog It is so refreshing to see excellent work can be produced in an open workshop without an expensive spray booth and nominal dust (if not any) landing in the paint
Thank's! appreciate all the kind words and support. So yeah it was a nice sunny day so I was able to kick a door open and had a fan exhausting out the fumes.
My Speedo kote bright white dosn't cover very well even after sealing bondo and bare metel with speed kote sealer. Is there a way to make it cover better. Using cheap gun 1.4.
came out beautifully. I would like to see a video on dealing with problems as they arise. I'm a DIY and teaching myself painting. I'm getting better but I still run across issues while painting and some of them stump me
Wondering, I been told to paint panel in same position it is on vehicle, like the fender I was told not to lay flat but position it like on vehicle thank you
On white or a solid color I find it makes no difference. On metallics is where you want the same paint orientation. It's best to hang the parts on those but a good orientation can still be achieved spraying it flat as well. Appreciate your comment and support brother!
So what kind of paint do you usually use for cars . I'm learning here gonna try spray me own car . A spray shop gave me toyota 040 white 2k paint. He said I don't have to use clear coat on it but I would like to put clear coat on it.
I am have issue with dust I clean clean but I still have a lot of dust. I’m not sure what I supposed to do to get a clean job. I see you doing very good job with out paint booth I would like to know how I do good job without dust
Hey Chris love the channel and your clearcut way of explaining. spraying in cold temps 50-60 degrees and using fast reducers and activators. Is that temp too cold and how long should I wait between coats for both base and clear and how long between final base coat and first clear
You don't need more that two. You could apply 3 but you need more flash time between coats 2 and 3. If you put more coats on it creates more orange peel
Hey brother recently started doing weekend work at a car yard, I usually paint in a booth and now I’m painting in like a man made booth with no heat or extraction basically just a box but been getting so much dust what do you think will be best way to control dust in my clear coat
It is always a pleasure to watch your informative videos. Let's suppose that the compressor is in keeping with air need of a HVLP spray gun. To spray a metallic base, which gun should be used, HLVP or LVLP?
I think an hvlp produces a slightly better finish for clear but it will also produce more over spray and use more materials. So it really just depends on your situation and needs. Appreciate your comment and support!
So can you touch up clear instead of reapplying the whole truck. I seen someone would wipe it down with something it would remove a lot of overspray . I’m having a hard time getting the results I want with my own paint both it’s hard to be humble
Any recommendations for sources for budget friendly online paint suppliers for urethane 2 part single stage color coats, factory color scheme? I've been using Martin Senour from my local Napa store for about 20 years as a do it yourself/hobbyist but everything is getting to be in the $350 or above range for a quart of color for dent repairs. The colors do match very well.
Can i add universal clear coat to a base coat to make touch up? Then I want to color sand and buff it to fill a scratch. how would you recommend? Lacquer is illegal in calif and now i'm seeing UV clear being cured by a uv light in seconds
I've done it and it will work. You'll get better results if you touch it up with base and then touch it up with clear after and then wet sand and buff it
@@GarageNoise I've been trying to decide on a higher end gun. summit racing has the pro lite with 1.2,1.3, and 1.4 needles with te10 and te20 caps for $630. I'm trying to do slick paint work for restoration and the pro lite has been the one I've been eyeing until you said this one shoots a flat clear. Decisions? Help?
@@FE428Power If your talking about the Sagola 3300 gto you can't go wrong. I can't imagine the pro lite is much better. When you get into these qualities guns there's not a huge difference. I believe the Sagola is a bit cheaper as well. I have sprayed with the pro lite and it's a great gun. I've always been a Devilbiss fan. I have two Devilbiss plus guns. If you've been dreamin about the pro lite and get the Sagola you'll always wonder about the pro lite🤣 You know what I'm sayin?
What needs to be done to spray base but come back months later? The roof and bottom of my truck are painted in single stage white. I’d like to flat sand them and clear all of it together. Will just a scuff give me a good bond between my blue base or should I sand with some 800?
I have to wet sand between primer base and between clears because they all grabs the microfiber towel like it's Velcro, nobody mentions. I have to do this in between every primer base and clear or base runs and i'm using premium rattle paint as their clear works fabulous. Anyway back to the base coats; Velcro again. I have 5 primer 5 base two or three touch ups wet 2-3000 more between those touch up coats more wet to smooth then wipe dry. I am now at the final base to do the entire panel door one more time wet sanding the entire door 3000 before clear coat one. Done this 4 times on a 8" x 30" corner cover because rustoleum clear came out water faucet thin, destroyed the door with runs overlapping 25% at best at 6" away @ 75 degrees sunny the 1st several coats. Why is it you and or many other here spray consecutively 1-2 primers 1-2 base 1 maybe two clear, in your vids like do nothing in between show the mirror image after compounded buffed and polished cleaned and waxed like really? Half the time you're overlapping at 90 100% two three times at 1 - 3 inches away. Not rattle but really?
Hi Chris, thanks for the brilliant videos. Just a question, What kind of paint do you use for Base? do you use standard basecoat or 1 or 2k basecoat? out of the three which do you prefer to use with 2k clear?
I use the nason xl which is a urethane enamel. Not a true 2k base coat cause it has no hardner. My feeling is for durability basecoat doesn't matter as much as the clearcoat, that's what protects the paint. Others may disagree and I'm sure there's exceptions but it's worked out well for me.
I used Nason brand for my clear coat, waited about 24 hours before wet sanding. I used an aggressive 1000 grit paper and i literally could not remove enough material off. I though it would be soft since I didn’t allow a lot of time to dry so I actually started with a 1500 grit with medium to hard pressure, but hardly could remove any excess clear off. Should I wait another day or two and try wet sanding with 800?
Is it really rough? With heavy orange peel? Nason is good clear. Be careful using 800 you could sand thru that clear how many coat of clear did you apply?
It’s smooth. Hardly any orange peel. The reason why I tired sanding it is because I had a drop of Gorilla glue drip onto the panel. I was gluing the Plastic bumper trim and the glue sagged down to the painted bumper. I couldn’t get rid of the glue only so I decided to wet sand and buff. I applied only 2 full wet coats of clear. Yes, it’s a damn good clear coat.
Not so much the Fender and doors, unless your cutting in the inside of those doors and fenders, then I Typically cut everything in first. And then put those panels on the vehicle. Now the hood. I like to spray that off the vehicle, especially a truck, because it's a lot easier to spray off the vehicle than it is on the vehicle. But really, It's all about what's most comfortable to you. You can paint those parts off the vehicle as long as you're painting is consistent and the same number of coats and you're spraying them at the same time.
@@GarageNoise thank you, very good points. I will do as you suggest paint on the truck so the paint tends to blend better from panel to panel. Thanks for your time and help. I am a newbie at this paint thing. Your vids are very helpful, and certainly appreciated.
This is made by Rong Peng It's actually the R830. The R802 is a good gun too It's the sata clone. They also make the R500 and a great Touch up gun R100
I am have my clear coat to blush... It appears that I'm putting it on either too heavy or my conditions are not ideal. Now that I have a lot of blushing, what is the best way to get rid of it?
HI Chris. Excellent video. Thank you! I've been following more closely as I'm about to attempt laying down base/clear for the first time. I'm pretty much done with primer and ready to start with my A610 that I've seen you use. I only have a small compressor so I'm limited to an LVLP gun. Just curious if you found the finish much better with the Sagola vs the A610? I've been thinking maybe I should use a different gun for clear but my options are a bit limited due to the compressor. In previous videos you seemed to get great results with the A610/R500. Just having last minute doubts. Thanks!
There's a slight difference, for me it really doesn't matter which gun I use. I wouldn't worry about getting another gun. follow the steps I share do some test panels and you should have no problem getting a great finish out of that gun.
After you spray base, can you scuff it with 600 or 800 before clear coat,is that a thing do you have to ? Been doing single stage paint, my first base coat, clear coat, but I have cleared it before. Does base coat blend better, let's say I do my top first
Add a pearl to normal clear coat. This guy has several videos messing with pearls and different pigments ua-cam.com/video/53R57afnoaI/v-deo.htmlsi=iWrMde6CTvbRxht7
Not on white or black or a lot of colors. Mostly I use a color blender or wet bed on difficult metallic colors like gold or silver. The other times you want to use it is in extremely hot temps it's very helpful then, to allow those metallic paints to lay in a color blender. It won't hurt to use it on everything if it makes you feel more comfortable in blending, but not necessary. Good question, I appreciate your comment and support!
You don't necessarily need a full face Mask that covers your eyes. But here are 2 face masks. I've used both of these. They both work well. One will cover your eyes it Doesn't it last quite as long as the 3M tho. amzn.to/4cUR4W8 amzn.to/3Wg2Mn7

Hey Chris love the channel and your clearcut way of explaining. spraying in cold temps 50-60 degrees and using fast reducers and activators. Is that temp too cold and how long should I wait between coats for both base and clear and how long between final base coat and first clear
How much time should I give between the base and clear? Should the base be completely dry or should it still have some tack? Thanks!
15 minutes depending on temp. Should be dry to the touch
Your videos are brilliant, I wish you could teach me to paint
👍
Great job Chris! I was just wondering if you were still using the GTO, and here it is!!
Don't use it enough but I love the low overspray of the r500
What size tip do you use for both? Great video, thanks!
Nice paint
Thank you so much 😀
Great job man
Thanks brother!
Is it good to put more coats of clear so wet sanding won’t go through to base coat?
You don't need more that two. You could apply 3 but you need more flash time between coats 2 and 3.
If you put more coats on it creates more orange peel
another great video ...

I wish i have that beutiful gun..but im working for it. Saving some money

Do you spray paint into to the door seams? It looks like you there was no internal masking to prevent over spray inside the jams.

You don't want to let basecoat sit for a month before you clear. Typically you have a 24hr window. Sand with 800 before topcoat

Done this 4 times on a 8" x 30" corner cover because rustoleum clear came out water faucet thin, destroyed the door with runs overlapping 25% at best at 6" away @ 75 degrees sunny the 1st several coats. Why is it you and or many other here spray consecutively 1-2 primers 1-2 base 1 maybe two clear, in your vids like do nothing in between show the mirror image after compounded buffed and polished cleaned and waxed like really? Half the time you're overlapping at 90 100% two three times at 1 - 3 inches away. Not rattle but really?
Hi Chris, thanks for the brilliant videos. Just a question, What kind of paint do you use for Base? do you use standard basecoat or 1 or 2k basecoat? out of the three which do you prefer to use with 2k clear?
I use the nason xl which is a urethane enamel. Not a true 2k base coat cause it has no hardner. My feeling is for durability basecoat doesn't matter as much as the clearcoat, that's what protects the paint. Others may disagree and I'm sure there's exceptions but it's worked out well for me.
What size nozzle for base, colorless?
1.3
I used Nason brand for my clear coat, waited about 24 hours before wet sanding. I used an aggressive 1000 grit paper and i literally could not remove enough material off. I though it would be soft since I didn’t allow a lot of time to dry so I actually started with a 1500 grit with medium to hard pressure, but hardly could remove any excess clear off. Should I wait another day or two and try wet sanding with 800?
Is it really rough? With heavy orange peel? Nason is good clear. Be careful using 800 you could sand thru that clear how many coat of clear did you apply?
It’s smooth. Hardly any orange peel. The reason why I tired sanding it is because I had a drop of Gorilla glue drip onto the panel. I was gluing the Plastic bumper trim and the glue sagged down to the painted bumper. I couldn’t get rid of the glue only so I decided to wet sand and buff.
I applied only 2 full wet coats of clear. Yes, it’s a damn good clear coat.
@@richardjeun ok so, your trying to remove the glue. That is a tough one.
Quick question, if you had the vehicle completely disassembled would you paint doors, fenders, hood off the vehicle?
Not so much the Fender and doors, unless your cutting in the inside of those doors and fenders, then I Typically cut everything in first. And then put those panels on the vehicle. Now the hood. I like to spray that off the vehicle, especially a truck, because it's a lot easier to spray off the vehicle than it is on the vehicle. But really, It's all about what's most comfortable to you. You can paint those parts off the vehicle as long as you're painting is consistent and the same number of coats and you're spraying them at the same time.
@@GarageNoise thank you, very good points. I will do as you suggest paint on the truck so the paint tends to blend better from panel to panel. Thanks for your time and help. I am a newbie at this paint thing. Your vids are very helpful, and certainly appreciated.

Gun is a Ronpeng 802. This Chinese company makes several decent quality spray guns including the popular R500.
This is made by Rong Peng It's actually the R830. The R802 is a good gun too It's the sata clone. They also make the R500 and a great Touch up gun R100
Yep, I commented on the wrong video 😂. I was watching the video about the Sata clone just before this one.
Would definitely like a viedo where you fix things
@@anthonybrady3927 I've got many video where I fix things. Check out the channel and subscribe!
Nicely done
Thanks!
How long after applying primer sealer should I go in for base coat? I’m using the Upol 4:1 high build line
About 10-15 minutes in 70°
I am have my clear coat to blush... It appears that I'm putting it on either too heavy or my conditions are not ideal. Now that I have a lot of blushing, what is the best way to get rid of it?
Garage noise Do you teach people or classes people can take from you am in California please reply thanks
Just on the old UA-cam.
What is the name of that red part on the pistol?
The ball on the end of the gun is a water trap.
HI Chris. Excellent video. Thank you! I've been following more closely as I'm about to attempt laying down base/clear for the first time. I'm pretty much done with primer and ready to start with my A610 that I've seen you use. I only have a small compressor so I'm limited to an LVLP gun. Just curious if you found the finish much better with the Sagola vs the A610? I've been thinking maybe I should use a different gun for clear but my options are a bit limited due to the compressor. In previous videos you seemed to get great results with the A610/R500. Just having last minute doubts. Thanks!
There's a slight difference, for me it really doesn't matter which gun I use. I wouldn't worry about getting another gun. follow the steps I share do some test panels and you should have no problem getting a great finish out of that gun.
@@GarageNoise Thanks!
I didn’t understand what a drop coat is. You mentioned that w/ the Silverado white truck. I appreciate all that you do to explain videos
Drop coat is a light coat to to make the blend transition look seamless.
What scratch did it have to apply base coat ?
600-800
After you spray base, can you scuff it with 600 or 800 before clear coat,is that a thing do you have to ? Been doing single stage paint, my first base coat, clear coat, but I have cleared it before. Does base coat blend better, let's say I do my top first
You can sand with 6-800 just to remove dust and then you must add another coat of base.
Could the clear be sprayed onto the base several days after the base coat was applied ( acrylic paint)
No usually there's a 24hr window to apply clear. Check your paint TDS
is there a link to the dust coat?
🤔
@@GarageNoise in the beginning of the chisel you suggested using a dust coat, is that a product to buy?
@@bo-jf7nj sorry, no that's just a light coat of base coat paint.
Does nason XL make a good pearl without the yellow tent? I'm trying to find a reasonable price white pearl that's good
Add a pearl to normal clear coat. This guy has several videos messing with pearls and different pigments ua-cam.com/video/53R57afnoaI/v-deo.htmlsi=iWrMde6CTvbRxht7
Good job.
Thanks!
Thanks

Can I spray clear with a R500?
Absolutely
Excellent
Can i set my mini gun to 2.5 to 3 turn out
Start with 1.5 on a mini gun. See how that works bump it up if you need more.
So there is really no need for blending agents?
Not on white or black or a lot of colors. Mostly I use a color blender or wet bed on difficult metallic colors like gold or silver. The other times you want to use it is in extremely hot temps it's very helpful then, to allow those metallic paints to lay in a color blender. It won't hurt to use it on everything if it makes you feel more comfortable in blending, but not necessary. Good question, I appreciate your comment and support!
Hi can you please tell me what mask I need for 2 pack need full face for your eyes thank you.
You don't necessarily need a full face Mask that covers your eyes. But here are 2 face masks. I've used both of these. They both work well. One will cover your eyes it Doesn't it last quite as long as the 3M tho.
