Novice painter with a cheap gun and had my air regulator just quit on me. No air. Final perfect heavy wet coat of clear and the air stopped leaving me dripping all over the hood. Nearly gave me a heart attack before I knew you can just sand them out. Appreciate it!
Yeah I've had that happen to me also, Once I learned how to cut and buff its alot less stressful. You've got it under control now!! Thanks for watching!!!
I used to go from 800 through to 3000 but the customers never really appreciated the efforts I put in. Now I just 1500,2000 and buff. Little cheesy but good enough for a showable driver. Unless they want a show car finish and are willing to pay for my time.
Yeah I have alot of customers like that also, the guy with this camaro wants it top notch, best customer I've ever had lol, thanks for watching!!!
Great job, thanks for sharing the details on your technique and going to so much effort producing such an informative video/demo.
Thank you for watching!!!!!
I LOVE the look after flow coating. I always do a final wash/scuff with dawn and grey scuff pad. Leaves it’s super clean and smooth. Awesome job sir. That walcom is a beast!
Thank you, ill have to try that, I love that walcom gun for sure!!!
@@ACDesignsGarage try a small spot and u will see the difference. Works well for me
@@juanmata2433 yeah ill try that, thanks for sharing 👍
That looks wonderful! Nice work!
Thank you very much!!!!!
I love those wheels 😍 I need some for mine 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 all jokes aside man she's beautiful 😍
Hahaha thanks we made them from 3/4" plywood, there real handy!!!!
Muy buen trabajo siempre le sigo desd venezuela
Thank you very much, and thanks for watching!!!!
Cam I have some tips, when I wet sand i do it until it looks good but when I buff it shows like scratches and was wondering if I just pressed down to hard when I wet sand or was it not enough water? Any tips or taughts..... I'm still new to this kind of work 😅
No problem, ill give you a couple of things that causes scratches. 1 when you first start sanding and sand off a piece of trash and it gets under the paper it can cause that so listen for that, 2 pressing to hard on the sand paper, always let the paper do the work. 3 dont jump up to fast on your grit, I usually start at 1000.then go to 1500 then 2000 then 2500 finally 3000 then buff. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions!!!!!!
@ACDesignsGarage thank you, that gives me a clearer understanding.
Awesome work bro. Did u use the software block on the entire car? I'm planning on using the same block but dry with k grit.
Mostly I use the dura block and it works pretty good. I use the super soft blocks on edges and corners, if you want use a hard block on the flat areas to help keep it flat. Hope this helps, I usually have a whole stack of blocks on my work table lol
I wonder how much better it would be if you turn the pressure up on your gun more for less orange pill and slow reducer
It probably would I just like to put a little more material on there for cutting and buffing
Care to record the stripe layout and application?
Yes we will, it will probably be a couple of weeks, im gonna lay out the stripe and spray the last coats of clear, make sure you subscribe so you'll know when it comes out!!!
How many hours do you think you have in cut ,buff and polish work? trying to gauge for when I do mine thx
I usually start at 1000 on a block to get it flat. The camaro took about 18 to 20 hours cutting from 1000 grit to 3000 grit. Then probably 15 to 20 hours buffing. Alot depends on how slick it lays down.
@@ACDesignsGarage thanks so much
@@mikeallen3646hope it helped your very welcome!!
How long do you leave it before flo coating
Usually a couple of days to make sure it has gassed off, then start wet sand blocking.
What's up with the plywood wheels?
Just to roll it around in the shop so we don't mess up the new wheels.
How long did it take to block the whole car? Did you do the bodywork or just the paint?
It took around 8 hours to block. We built the car from the ground up, roof skin, quaters ,floor pans, minitubs, everything but the VIN# lol. Look back at my channel I have several videos on it. Im gonna put together a play list on it.
I just add all them to the 1968 camaro playlist if you want to check them out!!!!
@@ACDesignsGarage I will definitely watch the playlist when you have it ready.
@@roadtested9009 Thank you, its up now on my channel under the playlist 1968 camaro, there are about 12 videos
How much clear was on here prior to wet sanding ?
I usually put down 3 to 4 medium wet coats, so I have enough to cut down with out cutting through!!!
@@ACDesignsGarage so if I’ve only got 2 down … I won’t be able to sand completely smooth is that ok ? To reapply more clear? I’m not sure what type of finish I’m looking to get too .. and don’t wanna scree it up
