Brian and all who are watching this. Please take more precautions when applying these chemicals. Ones skin is extremely porous, wear gloves when applying anything.. even the scuff.. Paint suit.. etc as well as using a mask. had a auto paint friend who "got used to it" and died of cancer at 42yo. read the labels.... this is all nasty stuff..
4:00 For those confused; he's saying "mould", not "mold." A mould is a form that plastic in its liquid form is poured into so that it takes the shape of the mould when it hardens.
@@PaintSociety Hi, sorry to bug you, but I can't seem to find any distributor of that anti-static cleaner and AkzoNobel's site doesn't seem to sell it direct either. The whole situation sikkens me (🤪). Do you happen to know where to buy that gosh darn thing?
Nice, im in college for auto collision repair and refining and practiced pating some bumper covers the other day, I had trouble getting in the fog light holes and deeper holes but i think i did alright, im exited to keep learning
I am trying to paint my motorbike helmet, and worrying about, trying to work out the design while the music at the end was amp Ing up and getting really in the mood of where I was going… he says “don’t stress about it so much it’s just paint” honestly, this could not have been more perfect. Thank you so much.
Great vid, I just did this a couple months ago for the first time and it was a fun learning experience. Not a new bumper, repaired a crack and repainted a peeling old bumper that was painted by a local body shop and had Doritos-sized paint sections falling off (that shop went out of business, wonder why?). I made some noob mistakes but did use aerosol adhesion promoter and overall it came out looking pretty good for a first attempt...after I redid the 'noob mistakes' section anyway. I used 2k urethane primer, base, and 2K urethane clear, fingers crossed it holds up. Getting the old paint off was annoying but Smart Strip paint remover and a Ryobi pressure washer removed most of it.
Your videos are so educational, inspiring and fun to watch. As an owner of 3 older bmws (1991 850i/6speed, 2000 M5 and 97 540i sport/6speed) they have Zero rust but the 850i has some paint fade on top of rear bumper and the 540i roof has some paint oxidation which I may attempt to repaint . the 540i’s value hasnt appreciated like the 850i so no harm there in trying especially afterwatching some of you’re videos. Some of the real world scenarios that you post (rattle can paint job, cheap spray gun tests etc) makes people feel confident enough and removes the intimidation of painting their car on a budget.
You haven’t lived until you’ve had to redo one that flaked off! Good point on not over scuffing it especially with a metallic. Even with all the proper steps they are still nerve wracking!
I just wet sand lightly with a grey pad and 2 light coats of adhesion promoter and never have a problem,,, only time I ever did was cleaning it with anything but tack cloth
What if you had to repair some minor scratches (refinishing an OEM bumper w/ original paint)? Any special primer you'd recommend to remain flexible? Same question about the filler (specific recommendations)? I'm not talking major repair (tears, hot staples, plastic welding). Just some minor rash that goes through clear coat/paint, maybe a tiny bit into the raw plastic but not deep. Basically refinishing a 'take off' from a solid donor car. Thanks, as always, for your fantastic videos!!
Thing about plastics is that some people whom I know think its the same as prepping a metal panel, bonnet, door, roof etc when it's very different. The plastic of the car needs a plastic primer, adhesion promoter, sealer etc and I've used just a grey scotch pad. Didn't use scuff paste and it did turn out ok.
Nice video. Seeing all the steps, I understand why it's expensive getting these items painted. I stopped by my Chrysler dealership to get pricing for painting a couple plastic molded 24"x 13" x 2" hood scoops. It's my first estimate, but I was given $200 excluding installation for both. I'm curious what other shops will charge. I was going to use Mopar paint in rattle cans, but after watching your video. The prep may be my downfall. Thanks again for your video.
I'm in the same boat. These pros throw some reducer on their primer and poof they got sealer. I got the SEM flexible primer surfacer can to try. Says it seals, but it's not a two part 🤔 not sure if I'm gonna use this and go for it, or add an epoxy primer 2k... But it's also not an expensive car... 🤔
Thanks alot Brian ! Great stuff here. I see that you suggested 1.4 nozzle for primer and 1.3 for clear coat. What size nozzle should be used on Base? 1.3?
Thanks for another great video! I have learned so much from you over the last year. Love your colabs with bodevision as well. Keep up the amazing work man!
This is the video I needed. Was planning on repainting my rear bumper. I’m not an expert but I knew I needed some type of flex agent. Easy to understand, straight forward 💯
Love watching your videos, I’ve learned a lot from watching you. One question I had, after the clear has dried on a plastic bumper, do you need to cut and buff it with compound and polish or is that only needed on metal parts? Thanks for the vids and keep up the good work!
It’s a little late but maybe can help others, depends on product and/or how the clear lands. If you have obvious runs or fisheyes, you may have to wet sand and what not. I am no professional, but have had pretty good success in multiple projects. Like you I have learned a lot especially from Brian. It is an art, and with a little knowledge, you can polish the biggest turd out there.
My daughter received a pink helmet for christmas I am using this video so I can paint something over the pink for her as she is not a huge fan of the colour. Thanks for the tips.
Hey Brian, great video! My only questions is the 902 plastic cleaner. If I’m using the bulldog Abrasive prep and clean that states it removes “release agents” do I still need the 902 Plastic cleaner to release mould agents ? I guess I’m going to find out in 2 days when I paint my First plastic bumper! Lol but thanks for the great vids, I’ll be able to buy my GTR soon because of you! Lol
Hello Brian, great video. I bought a after market bumper that supposedly has primer i want to remove it and start fresh. How would i remove it the correct way?
Do you think that you could accomplish the same surface prep with a really fine glass bean sand blaster? I want to paint a piece of plastic that has a crap ton of texture, nooks and crannies. I'm sure that trying to get in there with a scotch bright pad would be next to impossible.
Hey Brian, so the only problem I run into is after spraying the adhesive promoter and I go straight into spraying my sealer/primer it always comes out rough and I end up having to sand it with 600 and 800. Any tips on laying the sealer/primer down smoother so I can go straight into base coat and not have to sand primer ? Thank you again!
That's like measure twice and cut ones. Problem is that up here in NYC, Insurance companies don't want to pay for the time and materials needed to do this. So, most shops take shortcuts and in the long run, it doesn't hold up. By the time that happens, the customer doesn't remember who did the work. lol Great video, Brian...😎
Thanks again Brian for putting together high quality instructional videos for professional painting. How would you fix up a road rash covered PTM plastic bumper. I was thinking of using plastic epoxy (same stuff you used on the corvette trunk lid) to fill holes then adhesion promote the areas that the bare plastic are showing. Then seal and paint as usual?
Thank you for your videos. I order a bumper from Kies Motorsport. It’s supposed to be an OEM bumper and they said it comes pre-primed. Should I still use adhesion promoter?
If the bumper needs to be sanded but it’s 85% bare plastic, Do you still recommend adhesion promoter? Before primer Also, base and clear don’t need a flex additive?
I have a bumoer that needs to be repainted. it has some areas that are scuffed which I will need to use body filler for that. I am going to have to use cans for everything except of course for the body filler. After using the body filler do i just spray the adheasion promoter on that area or do i still need to spray it on the areas that I just scuffed the clearcoat as well, so that whole area? Then for the sanded areas I would use a primer filler to fill in any sanding scratches correct? after this step do I still to spray a sealer on top of that as well before painting? if so can you please.provide a link for sealer in a spray can as well? Thank you. P.s if there is anything that I am missing or you would do instead please let me know. Thank you!👍
0:49 Shows 4 fingers :) Love you man! P.S.: yes aftermarket raw bumpers are a nightmare. I had to use a pressure washer to get my first finish off...SMH
I’m doing rain guards, and a spoiler kit on the bottom of my car. I was told, use a maroon scuff pad, clean with a grease and oil remover, then wipe down with an alcohol? Then add my plastic adhesive, prime, then paint. Does that sound ok to you? Thanks. I bought the spoiler kit off EBay, and it comes shiny, hence the scuff pad. After painting, I’m adding a 2k clear with the bladder in the bottom of the can.
What process does one need to go through to just repaint a bumper cover that was already painted from the factory? Other that fixing any scratches and sanding down , is it necessary to still put an adhesion promoter and or sealer on the already factory painted bumper before base and clear?
Love the channel, it is quickly becoming my favorite. You always go into detail and thats what I'm looking for in the vids I watch. Another Excellent video!
Hey Brian, if your bumper cover already has paint on it can you just scuff it and then spray adhesion promoter and then seal it before basecoat clearcoat?
Great video as always. What light do you have attached to the DV-1B in the video? I always pick up something new no matter how many times I rewatch a video.
Nice! Thanks for sharing! I'm currently setting up to paint new bare plastic. However I can't find any black or dark primer sealer. Can I use sandable primer over the adhesion promoter instead? If so do I have to sand the primer before Base coat? ( Base coat is black.) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again
If you only have gray sealer or even white you can get away with spraying that and then 3 coats of black base. If you're going to spray primer you would have to wait for it to dry and then scuff the entire bumper again, then paint it
i know this is an old video but back in the early 2000 i was looking to paint a front bumper for a silverado i had & i was trying to do it myself. what still pisses me off till this day is that every response i got from multiple resources back then was that i couldn’t paint plastic because it would peel off eventually. it confused me because vehicles have a lot of plastic parts from factory & it’s painted just as good as the steel panels & to have these people tell me it couldn’t be done. i wish i would of known what i know now.
So you add flex agent to your sealer and clear coat too? What about the base coat? I've been under the impression that flex was hardly used any more since all these 2K coatings remained so flexible. What about hi build primers then?
Hi, i used an adhesion promoter on my raw plastic bumper, and then sealed it, but after the sealer started to dry, the sealer cracked, a bunch of lil crack lines appeared, what caused that and how can i fix it?
Hi Brian , thanks for this video, I've been following your videos for a month and now I'm painting my aftermarket bumper. The problem right now is finding the scuff stuff, is it possible to replace it with another product or do you have any ideas or alternatives for that, thanks again.
Thanks for all the awesome tips and tricks. Is there a certain way in general that u mix the paint or apply it differently to bumpers than on the body to avoid the colour difference on the metal and the plastic. I noticed i get different colours out of the same mix on my bumpers and the body in 2k and basecoat paint jobs. And is there a way the get a closer match even if u do only the bumper
I bought a spy racing quad that has been left out in the sun, the varnish is rough and the color has faded, so I will be stripping all the panels off and repainting them. Have you done one before please? will you do one before me? Thnks
Great channel and learning alot!! Question; I am painting a new grill and glares. I sanded thru a spot on the primer and missed it until I had a coat of finish paint on it. If subsequent coats don't cover the bb sized spot, can I use a tiny paint brush and dab on adhesion promoter then coat the spot with paint or will that mess up my finish?
Quick question Brian I’m working on a front bumper I sccuffed it all down with 320 then repaired the damages and primed em and sanded with 320 then went back over with 400 grit but I never put adhesion promotor on before the primer would I be okay to just spray a coat of adhesion promotor over it and then paint and clear ?
I have some pretty deep scratches and holes/scrapes, do i add primer then adhesion promoter then paint? Or adhesion first, then primer, then adhesion again, then paint?
Have a question? I have learned so much from watching your videos. My husband and I are painting a club car ds we purchased a couple months ago. We decided on The Rustolium 2 X Acrylic Enamel. We started with the front end. It dried so fast applying it. We used Deep blue. Their primer dried to fast also. No I'm wondering about the clear I bought. Can I use a different brand or? On top of the Rustolium? please any help will be well appreciated!
trims and bumper of my car are made by plastic and done with 2 layer of bumper coater , is it ok to apply clear coat on the top? if so, how long should i wait for paint done before applying clear coat? thanks
You ever tried the Master Pro 44 Series high performance hvlp spray gun saw it on Amazon today. If I end up painting a vehicle again in future I wouldn't use my old spray gun had that 29.99 spray gun from Harbor Freight but the paint I used didn't seem like high grade paint I used when I used it I rather use single stage in the future. I know about the Black Widow HTE spray gun but this spray gun on Amazon is cheaper and the one for 189.96 comes with more fluid tips you can use but I don't know how good it is compared to a Black Widow though. It probably better than the one I got now though.
Brian and all who are watching this. Please take more precautions when applying these chemicals. Ones skin is extremely porous, wear gloves when applying anything.. even the scuff..

After scuffing, I usually use nautical epoxy primer. It helps with chipping in motorcycle fairings and mudguards.

If subsequent coats don't cover the bb sized spot, can I use a tiny paint brush and dab on adhesion promoter then coat the spot with paint or will that mess up my finish?
Quick question Brian I’m working on a front bumper I sccuffed it all down with 320 then repaired the damages and primed em and sanded with 320 then went back over with 400 grit but I never put adhesion promotor on before the primer would I be okay to just spray a coat of adhesion promotor over it and then paint and clear ?
I have some pretty deep scratches and holes/scrapes, do i add primer then adhesion promoter then paint? Or adhesion first, then primer, then adhesion again, then paint?
Have a question? I have learned so much from watching your videos. My husband and I are painting a club car ds we purchased a couple months ago. We decided on The Rustolium 2 X Acrylic Enamel. We started with the front end. It dried so fast applying it. We used Deep blue. Their primer dried to fast also. No I'm wondering about the clear I bought. Can I use a different brand or? On top of the Rustolium? please any help will be well appreciated!
trims and bumper of my car are made by plastic and done with 2 layer of bumper coater , is it ok to apply clear coat on the top? if so, how long should i wait for paint done before applying clear coat? thanks
You ever tried the Master Pro 44 Series high performance hvlp spray gun saw it on Amazon today. If I end up painting a vehicle again in future I wouldn't use my old spray gun had that 29.99 spray gun from Harbor Freight but the paint I used didn't seem like high grade paint I used when I used it I rather use single stage in the future. I know about the Black Widow HTE spray gun but this spray gun on Amazon is cheaper and the one for 189.96 comes with more fluid tips you can use but I don't know how good it is compared to a Black Widow though. It probably better than the one I got now though.
Hey man so the adhesion promoter is the under coat so to speak? Cheers
