I remember watching your older spraycan videos many years ago because i was painting my civics hood. This brings back memories!
I've done this job before, here's what I did differently:
1. I took the hood off. It was easier to just remove the hood than to mask the entire vehicle. YMMV, it largely depends on how many things you need to disconnect from the hood, and how heavy it is (my Ranger has an aluminum hood so I only had to deal with bulk; a steel hood is more likely a two-man job). Taking the hood off also gives you the opportunity to hang it and paint on a vertical surface instead of a horizontal one. With spray cans, this is better.
2. I wet-sanded with 2000 grit between base and clear coat applications to help reduce orange peel.
3. I spent on my primer and clear coat with 2k supplies but went cheap on the color, because it was black. If you have a tougher color, a body shop supply store is a good choice, but quality is more important on your primer and clear than it is on your color.
Please see CHOPS GARAGE ...TALKING RUBBISH BUT ACTUALLY WORKED......I found it in the bin
How long did you wait after base coating to wet sand 2000 grit?
2000 GRITS TO FINE YOUR PAINT WILL PEEL OFF OVER TIME ITS GOT NOTHING TO STICK TO.
@rodobrien3488 I think he said in between the base and the clear? Not between primer and base?
good for flat colours but metallic colours should be painted orientated to their position on the vehicle.
I am a subscriber from way back. One of the things you have done from the beginning is you don't edit out all the bloopers or your mistakes. It makes so much more "real" so when we screw up we don't feel bad. Thanks for another very practical and actually doable fix. PS That looks like Fallbrook
Fallbrook…San Diego? Lol I live in Jeffery’s Ranch [76 and Melrose…aka Home Depot / the new high school.
…small world :]
Absolutely makes it a more enjoyable and pertinent video!
These car companies should be paying for this.
As a former detailer, we saw this constantly. People honestly should start holding these companies accountable, online. The clear coat quality, is unacceptable.
Not even keeping it waxed, will stop it.
Standing next to a GMC and says we are cutting corners because its a FORD...lol I love it
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂04
He says it's an 04 truck
I was recently watching where a denim polishing/buffing pad takes out the orange peel well. Great detail, thanks for sharing!
There's a lazier/easier way - get some laquer & varnish remover spray - they do it in aerosols.. spray it on the clearcoat, let it work, use a plastic scraper to scrape off the old clear. Wash the panel down well, use a grey scotchbrite pad to lightly scuff the original base & provide a key... spray on fresh clearcoat.. Go have a beer. :-)
That’s the correct way to the job retired auto body technician
But if it has bondo or putty, does it mess it up like paint remover does?
@@tonyt160 No.
Love this tip. Going to store the information in my commodore 64. I say that cause my memory sucks, not to a say anything bad about your approach. I truly am going to save that information/write it down!
Great to see you're back regularly posting. I flip cars and get some good insights from your content. Thanks for your work.
Awesome! Thank you!
Turned out great! It be nice to see a video on the wet sand and polish of that hood!
Coming soon!
@@myRatchets okay, I heard you :)
@@myRatchets Would more coats have eliminated the striping in the base? Or is this just an issue with the rattle can?
Lol 19:43 over spray dusting hell out of yellow corvette.
For those final words of dying industry and qualifiers, ya deserve the like. That, and the video was rather informative.
Your always here for us DIY guys! Thanks.
Thanks for watching Wyatt.
The problem with doing large areas with those spray cans is not that the paint is bad. Its catalyzed paint, its fine. The issue is the small amount of paint it delivers. It puts such a thin coat its hard to get it to flow and level out. You can never it it on right enough to buff either
Hey nice video and thanks for making it real. As a novice, understanding all the steps you brought up are very helpful. Thanks for a great video
Never thought someone could make clearcoat repair soooo hilarious!
Lol
This was super good! I appreciate the tutorial. You covered a good bit of stuff commonly missed when learning this process.
You never want to do continuously spray with an aerosol can......take long pauses between passes. The chemical propellant inside of the can needs to build-up pressure
I enjoy his work lesson and commentary. Kinda like a smart version of AL from "Married with Children" .
Did paint jobs in the past on my Honda's. Nice to see your tutorial, very good. For this goes the more you do this job the better you get. Just take the first step, dare to do it.
I am a 40+ year combination collision repair shop owner. I got quite a chuckle when you started sanding with 600 on that hood. I have people come in wanting work like that performed. I won't do it. I'm glad there are guys like you to show them how to patch up their paint. Because, when the remaining clear that you covered up finishes coming off, it will take all that material you sprayed over it with it. That's why I say it's a patch job. You covered the problem. You didn't fix the problem. But it does look better than it did, to some folks. To me, it's more of a mess than it was. Lol. But your methods are fairly solid. With the exception of not stripping all the old clear and base down to the undercoats, or bare metal. You primed it 2 times, you could have stripped it and done it correctly with another hour of sanding in the beginning. I'll watch more of your content and try to be nice. Lol.
You’re an arrogant greedy body shop owner who rips people off especially through insurance companies. Some people can’t afford 5k for a partial paint job. Leave the guy alone. Chuckle DsNutz😊
So basically a good sand job solves everything he did wrong?
@@kingboy19971 almost everything. protecting the bare metal with an etching primer is useful for allowing it to set for a time before finishing the surface prep work. Using a filler and/ or a high build primer to fill any imperfections in the metal from the sanding/ stripping or hail, golf balls, etc is important. Sanding the final primer with 600 to 800 grit prior to applying the base color is important for a smooth uniform color. Keeping the surface clean of dirt and contaminants up to the point of clear coat application will help with the final shine and appearance. Its hard to get a good finish with a spray can, on a large surface, with no control of the thinner used in the color and clear. Spray can material is normally formulated to dry fast. Fast is not great for color and clear. Matched to the ambient air temperature and surface temperature is preferred. There's more, but these are the high points. IMHO the video is good basic info. The clear he feathered and primed, colored, and clear coated over will fail, taking his material with it. The other thing, stripping the panel to bare metal will allow the applied material to dry, shrink, and cure uniformly. Priming over old substrates will show up as rings in the new paint job in a short time. Long term the old material will fail, recreating the original problem.
but for a car that is 30 years old, and getting a professional job costs more than the car is worth? maybe this approach is reasonable… 🤷🏻♂️
@@davidmorton8170of course. That's the best that truck is gonna get. Of course there are better ways to do it. This is the internet. It always gonna get some "expert" that would do this or that. Or would charge this much because they are gods gift to whatever. Lmaoooo. Imagine sanding that old ass hood down to bare metal. Whoever suggested that is out of their mind.
That actually looks pretty decent considering it was done with basic supplies. Not sure about how it looks in person, but on screen it looks like no repair was made. ❤
This video came in perfect timing! Thank you, looks great.
I still remember that f150 u sprayed down back in the day 💯🙌 good memories !! Glad your back ❤️
I always enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Looks far more better than damage clear paint. Excellent job.
Good job bro. I'm also a recovered alcoholic and addict, I actually worked for maco paint and body when I was still actually using. So everything you said was true, lmao. Thanks again and please make some instructional videos please
Lol
I noticed u spoke about Macco in the "past tense",so hopefully🤞🏼you didn't lose that job due to having an addiction?
I remember watching your older vid painting the hood of your truck when I was attempting to fill in a peeling paint spot on my Crown Vic's roof. I'm back here preparing to redo the whole roof now several years later as more has peeled away. You can't stop that mid 2000s Ford paint from peeling😮💨
Yep. My ford pickup pretty much has no clear coat left on any horizontal surfaces. Sun ate it all apparently.
Same on my 2005 Grand Marquis, the roof panel over the rear window even has rust, and the center back edge of the trunk lid. I live in the desert, the rust surprised me. 😕
Strangely, the hood is still okay . . .
Love the comments at the end😆
you always do a great job breaking things down.
Great technique, looks great for paint out of a rattle can. We did a similar project on our channel a few weeks ago on our front bumper, it came out pretty nice for a rattle can. Keep up the great work.
Looks great!
Keep it going!! Appreciate the honest results and your devastatingly cynical humor! We need an avocado update !! :)
This is a great tutorial! Thanks, subbed up!
You upload this after i butchered painting my bumper. Thanks 😅
nice to see ya back mate! hoping for more early to mid 2000's worked on to keep em on the road.
about factory coded paint #, I have an older car and had the factory color mixed. I was repairing/painting a square foot or so of damage on a door. The problem I ran into was the cars color, "beach sand", faded over time, 20 years or so even with cleaning and regular waxing. The result was that the "original" factory paint code color that was prepared was much darker than what the color of the car now was. I went back to the store and the color was diluted. This was done 3 times and the final result was still noticeably different. Even if the entire door panel was painted you would notice the color difference between the rear door and the rest of the car. This might not be a problem with darker colors though.
A great job, very knowledgeable about your bodywork and the materials , keep making videos.
Glad to see you are enjoying your new shop
Great video!!!
Great video bro !!
Thanks for your time and advice...
Great job detailing the different steps and talking about why each is needed. Was hoping to hear what the total cost of materials ended up being (maybe I missed it) and the ballpark for a body shop to do the job. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge
Wow, a lot more work than I figured to get a passable DIY job - 4 coats of paint and 5 coats of clearcoat!
Thanks for the instructions, though. I especially liked your "career advice" at 23:20, haha!
Thank you for the tips.very Amazing
Good to see you back. Content and humor never disappoint. Thanks!
Thanks the only painting tutorials that is simple and thorough with explanation
Great video and tips. I think looks pretty good.
Am I the only one who caught him saying that this is an old Ford truck @ 0:22? lol, anyway looks great man and thanks for sharing.
04’ LOL
Not old ford
he also said "we'll cross that bitch when we get there." --and that's my new slogan.
Hey there Mr R&W, and fellow San Diegan -- good luck with the storm, hope there's no damage to your shop or orchard!
I love your channel. you have a good sense of humor
This was an informative video.
My 2006 Toyota Tundra had some serious paint ugly problems on the hood and the roof ascribed to age and exposure, I’m sure. A friend tried to repair the paint but that attempt failed miserably. If I had seen your video I might have tried your method. Instead just more than $2,000 later, a body shop did a beautiful job. But it’s a 2006 and I could have saved a boatload doing it your way. Great video!
I HAVE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!! So great to see you uploading again. Your videos inspired me and got me through some hard times. I started working on cars after watching you years ago.
Good for you HK, idol hands can be the devil’s playground. Keep busy👍
Be clean. Great advice for life.
Awesome video thanks!!!
This video came in clutch !!!!
I'm a body man of 30 yrs, every car that entered my shop for paint is washed with a 2% bleach solution to eliminate fish eye and other problems.
what is fish eye "problem" on a car? hever heard that description
Wow. That's a great tip.
I LOVE IT !!! The old man I worked for in my first body shop told me. You paint with your body, not your arm .
Yes I would love to see what it looks like after a wet sand
Thank you from KSA.
Great video.i am about to do my Toyota Camry 2000 bonnet with rattle cans.i am a bit nervous about doing it.but after seeing your video it has given me a lot off confidence great job thank you
How did it turn out?
Turned out great after seeing your video thanks
Looks great
To really smarten up that GMC, you should run a painting class and have the students do the roof. 🙂
Instantly gave you a Thumbs-Up for the name of your channel. Great content too.
Great video sir. I've done this several times with a little less work..same results. Turns out just right. More affordable than professional work too
I miss you homie.
Ditto
He just posted a video, what do you mean?
Me too.
Same here! Best DIY videos for car enthusiasts hands down
@@vortecmacs5j 0:22 jh
You did a great Job explaining and showing how to do a partial repaint job Thanks for your information and time to do the video
Great job for spray cans. Please show us after you've done the final wet sanding and polish.... thanks.
Good to see you back.. let's get it going
Nice. I've done a similar DIY painting in the past. For the paint color, I highly recommend asking the employee on the available paint lines that they can mix for your color. Some lines are garbage. I would stay away from PPG Omni line because it sprays VERY thin, so you waste more time with extra layers. Since it's thin, I could barely finish painting half a fender with it. You only get about 4 oz of paint in a 16oz can, so the rest is just the gas propellant. I had better experience with Metalux paint line. I still haven't found a method to use the 2k clear without getting massive orange peal.
Dude I caught your comedy , Awsome , laughed so hard I had to rewind ! Thanks Bro !
I love rattle can 2k jobs and I went looking for it and my favorite mechanic made a video about it after being missing for years
Awesome vid wooo looks like a ton of work
It wasn't that bad, just a lot of waiting in between the work.
A long time subscriber, l always enjoy your videos 👍👍👍
Great video! Can you do and show for when the base paint is all cracked up and the clear is all gone. Cause i would hate to have to strip it all down? Any info would be very appreciated.
Thanks Terry
Great stuff and always! Can you do a video of fixing rust around the windshield?
Yeah…replace the car.
I am simply amazed at the quality of your workmanship on this hood. Great 👍 job!
Great video. I plan on doing this to my 02 Silverado's roof with the white Turbo Rustoleum with a 2K clear coat. Do you plan on doing the roof on this one?
Quitters are wise.
I enjoy your vids.
Very good. I like your videos. Great tips. I have been working with an orbiting polisher. Each time I seem to improve. Thanks.
Love this video bro....Practical and REAL. Great Post got a sub.
Very nice work.
Do you have experience with replacing seat covers and interior work???
Nice work
I cant wait to see how this turns out after the wet sanding.
Looks great to me, cool video
Thank you! Cheers!
Classic ending!
Bravo!
This is why body shops charge so much. This was the quick and dirty method and it still took a pretty good amount of time and effort.
Great stuff
I appreciate your stuff ups mate. Keeping it real.👍
Great job
Great info
Looks fantastic
A 2k base coat mix is $52 per can. Laquer based primer dried a couple of days usually doesn’t interfere with most base coats.
Pretty good, thank you.
We'll call you Two Can Sam ;) (It's from an old cereal commercial.)
Good job buddy, well done you😁👍
Ty for the knowledge. I have to do a hood on pops car, in similar condition as yours.
Always a good day when RandW posts! 👍🧂
Great job ima try to paint my truck ! I si have a question what would you do different if anything if I wanted to change the color of the truck?
Subscribed! Man, I learned a lot from this video. Thanks!
I have to do the plastic bumpers on my Mercedes W220. Any advice? Thanks for your videos!
Great video! You mentioned that it's important for your base coat, primer and clear coat to be compatible...I don't see a link to the brand/type base coat compatible with the primer/clear coat you used. Do you know which brands/types of color match base coat I need to snag?
Excellent video !! 👍
Good stuff. Ending was funny
