Excellent work! Your gun work has the three most important components: 1) consistent speed each coat; 2) consistent distance each pass; 3) consistent atomization at the tip. I promise you folks, it’s not as easy as he makes it look! Great job, Bro!
How long in between every coat? Is the nozzle setting the same on every coat with the same psi? A when does the light mist c control coat go on ,is it the colour just before the clear?
it's a repair not a complete through paint job per say, cause he didn't sand till he hit bare metal some of you didn't notice that he only sanded to the level that was bad he didn't have to sand till bare metal, for those in the know.
To all experts having a stroke over the not using a sealer , relax , there is nothing incorrect with his process . Could he have used a sealer , yes , would it make for a better repair ? Probably not . He had a good sanding process , and that panel he had prepared after sanding will take that base coat perfectly . He had excellent coverage with the base and enough coats to cover . Spraying base and clear he had a very good technique ! Well done and I'm sure it will wear just as good or much better than the factory junk they so very cheaply Spray these cars today with .
Thank You a lot of people don't understand the concept on where and when sealer, primer is needed I have several videos explaining how it's done I have been doing a custom painting for 30yr and never had problems people that are not painters are quick to talk without knowing anything Thanks for understanding and God Bless
Completely agree, no need for primer as there was no bare metal that I could see. As a painter, it's too hard to explain stuff to people that have very little idea of what goes into the job. Nice work mate! 🇦🇺
It looks fantastic, no doubt about it. The quick dry tool is quite amazing too. One thing that would've been nice to see is the final stage where you light sand the clear coat then buff it to give it that factory finish look. Other than that, a great video.
Sooo much better and easier than the "professional" videos that require hours of sanding and resanding. You do a TERRIFIC job while also being efficient with time. Finished product looks AMAZING!!
Badass job man! I used to work in a boat/yacht paint shop in the marine industry and this is the best video I’ve seen so far on the proper steps and technique on a paint job. Sometimes I miss making things look so pretty. I really want to paint my old 98 Silverado but I don’t have the money or space to do it.
Excellent job. I have to do this to the hood and roof of a Peugeot 406 Coupe here in Australia. Thought I'd have to re-prime but can see it's not really neccessary. I haven't painted for 20 years - cellulose back then. Nice spray gun! Thanks mate 👍
Spray from you to the middle then walk to the other side and spray from the middle to you. You never want to give it anytime at all to dry from the first stroke or you'll see a dry strip in the middle. It's a timing technique when it comes to chemistry.
Everything looks easy when you know what you are doing. And everything is very difficult when you do not know what you are doing. Great results as shown are all about the time and efforts that went into the prep sanding work
@4:02 Don't force dry paint with air. You will dry the surface making it harder for the lower coats to release their solvent. That can lead to more runs or solvent bubbles being trapped. Solvent bubbles look like soda bubbles
actually that all depends on if you are painting with all one in paints that are like spray cans since they have multiple things not just paint in it but also some clear in it and hardener but paint alone with a really good gun and the right pro guy to do it you wont have that issue.
@@macgyver15147 your almost right on the money, the only difference is that cold air is okay, it's just don't ever dry it with a heat gun then all those side effects occurs.
Great finish !! Your Kosmosky Robot Skills are on point...shame you didn't take all the way off & resealed the hood. When clear starts to let go,the remaining clear will eventually let go as well.
when u stop and starts it pulses the pressure and makes the mettalics puddle., just dont stop mid panel and release trigger, or end of panel keep trigger pulled the whole time,
Your technique is spot on,equipment is good,shop is ehhh,but please for the love of god protect yourself,your skin is an organ,we love your work.there is so much I want to learn from you.respect yourself we allready respect you
Based on the facility and job at hand, this was excellent work. Primer sealer is excellent for uniformity. However, since this was a dark color, it worked out fine. Nice technique with the paint gun. Above average skill level here.
Thank you for this video. It was concise and informative. I have to do this to my son's Volvo. Your video has given me the confidence to try it. I've never painted a car but this video showed me that maybe I don't have to be so nervous. Thanks
Sir you are a professional and anyone that can do the job that well in FLIP FLOPS gets extra Kudos. Truth be told I am trying to repaint a vending machine I own and I can never get a good clear coat. Will be trying the shop line product at 6:55 👍
I would have hit that with some two pack primer and blocked it out but still you did a nice job and the pay isn’t always justified to do all that. I can tell you have professional level skill but are slightly limited by your air. It’s testament to your skill level that you have adapted your spray style for lower air power but higher overspray/lower material transfer because it’s a garage and not a dedicated downdraft booth. You’d probably do incredible work with out having to worry about clouds of clear etc. Most guys spraying diy aren’t doing waterborne color or spraying clear at 30 psi, it’s a single stage at lower pressure, easier to manage in a tight space.
Wow really like the turnout. I have clear coat coming off my 09 Honda Civic. Been looking for a how to video on how to paint sand cars thanks for posting
Hey how did it turn out? I have an 07 with clear coat fading and I am deciding to either leave it alone, paint the really bad parts or get it plastidipped
great way to fix clear coat without stripping and priming like other videos i watched ,i have a 20-year-old ford van with clear coat damage on the hood and i will be using your method with spray cans, thank you
I`m a 70 year old lady that loves to see how you work with an air gun. I have a 2002 P T Cruiser and the clear coat peeled up in spots on the top so you can peel it right up. My car has a paint job that came from the factory with a dull finish to it and not a shine to it but l would like to know if l bought a gloss clear coat can i sand down the dull clear coat and put a shine on her instead . l subscribed and rung the bell .
@@PHARRAWAY I did the same thing and kept watching. Just wondering if its possible to do it with the hood still on the truck? Great job. I don't have the setup like you do. Compressor but no gun, and other items. Help?
@@knined46901 Hi brother yes it's possible to do it with the hood on, and about the gun, you don't need an expensive gun Harbor fright sells one for $9 and it will do the same job.
@@PHARRAWAY What are the supplies needed to really get started? I want to give it a go and restore the clear coat on my hood. There are a few spots where I need to put filler I guess. any suggestions
It is possible to make a good living just painting faded car paint, then selling on, easy, $1000 investment and start making cash, excellent work. Thanks for posting.
You know, this makes me feel good because I just bought the same air compressor to repaint / repair faded peeling clear coat on a GMC - the same body style GMC you're working on in this video. Guess I got the right hardware!
@@jeffburger3686 That's what zx6dood is saying.....this guy is not "repairing a clear coat" he's sanding down and then REPAINTING the whole hood. And I'd HIGHLY recommend using a primer sealer before shooting the color on....it insures a smooth paint application with no "pin holes" showing up in the paint or other crap going on.
Nice job. Amazing that there are so many genius' that make comments but don't have any videos. I'm in the market for a new compressor. I'm not going to do much painting, but I want to have the ability. What size/brand compressor are you using. Thanks for posting.
Even several coats of paint are translucent, not opaque. The different colors of the basecoat and clearcoat will show through under certain viewing angles. This is why you need a uniform color before the new basecoat / topcoat. You need a primer / sealer.
There ARE other ways to "fix" peeling clear but this is how not to half ass it. The hood looks like it has plenty of material to start so no need to go ham on the primer. Im sold on that gun tho. Its nothing if you dont know the right settings and you made that thing lay down silky smooth. Nice job!
good job, I’d recommend wet sanding1500-2000 grit to smooth the clear coat out then compound it,clay bar, polish,and finally a wax to really make it perfect and protected.
Primer seals the open edges and should have been done first. this is a back yard job or a mobile repairman. DON'T follow this advice. Prime first seal the edges of OEM paint .
First thing that ran through my mind when I saw him doing it. Even so, it still looks dramatically better than what it was. He deserves credit for that.
@benz merc nah, just needed the hood to be sanded smooth and primed/sealed and sanded again before the base. not sure why he didn't prime it all first as it is a pretty simple step considering how good of a job he did painting and clear coating.
That problem here is not that the "paint has faded" as much as the clear coat is failing. It's peeling and flaking away thus exposing the base coat underneath..
I used to fix this by sanding with 220 then applying three coats of 2 k primer surfacer then wet sanding it with 400 grit then painting it.Yesterday I saw this video and decided to sand it with 220 then 320 finishing it off with 400.all dry sanding. The only thing I did different is I applied one medium wet coat of sealer.Just amazed at the time and material I saved.Been doing it the old way for over 20 yrs.😲😲😲😲
Cheapest way to repair a hood, but I’m sure there’s no warranty on that product. 6 months or less before paint dulls out. That’s the earl scheib old school style painting.
After 2 year in global warming... my roof stil looks better than most cars ...fjord blue with 2k clear coat from mipa ,waxed 2x a year and nothing happend , same for the wheel arch i did 3 years ago..stil deep and rich. Neighbour is jealous , what else do you want. Great video's on how to do it like a pro you got.
If you don't rip all that clear cot off it's going to peel again, 2K has a short tin life and after it has been opened i dice the tin after a few weeks. Trust me!
@@rosswoolley2854 i rather trust my roof. Besides that the 2k clear i have in a can with bottle neck is stil good after this time on a shelf...it activates if you use the activator/hardener. Beond that its not even like paint..hence 2K. The activator can go bad..but that is not the clear coat. Trust me..some ppl have clear coat stored 5 years...stil they paint cars without problems..besides buying some activator.
@@barrybeunhaas3336 Ok, The cars that i paint are just mine. The only ones that have flaked were from old tins, and would flake after a few years. I only use Dulux 2k. The shop recommended not to keep it once opened. I was amazed how good the fresh paint lasted, i left a car up the back yard under a tree for over 6 years, had to sell it and it cleaned up like it was new just amazed me. Thanks for your reply :)
I would assume time and money, sounds like a coat of primer sealer is ideal but depends on how long you want the paint job to last and how much time/money you want to spend on the fix
I would have sanded off all of the clear. It will bleed back. And yes, seal it all for coverage and preventing chipping. But maybe the truck is not to nice.
@@gigel99324 when painters refer to sealer it's basically a non sanding primer that can be painted on after 30 mins. Primers or high solid primers are generally used to shape or blocksand a repair over bondo and its also a good substrate to paint over
so you were able to level surface without spraying hi build primer on those spots where you have primer showing????? maybe it would not have hurt to spray those areas and then block sand first...
Third coat of clear was the speed I would have imagined for the first coat. I am still learning... that being said, why was your first coat clear passes same speed as the base and your third coat slower? Glad I found your channel, great video!
Had not noticed that LOL but I usually do the same speed for the base and clear only the last coat slower so that I can make sure that I will not get any dry spots. Thank You for subscribing tomorrow or Sunday I'm going to upload a candy paint job stay tune.
@@PHARRAWAY If I got the time to watch I will. Thanks for the quick reply! I thought for sure with the age of the video and amount of comments mine would go unnoticed.
@@PHARRAWAY That is a great quality and there are many on here that were that way in the beginning but I know once you get to a certain amount of video content it is nearly impossible and will not un-subscribe if one day you are blowin up with ton's of comments, I will think "good for him, he doin his thing."
I think your skill level makes it look easy therefore I’m gonna leave it for a professional excellent job also,love your video mate from Perth Western Australia
Nice video. How long did u wait between the base coats before applying the next coat? Then, how long did u wait after the last base coat was shot before you started to shoot the first clear coat? Then how long did u wait between clear coat shots?
I'm sitting here 3am, just going thru wishful thinking, your job looks very nice, if you lived in Houston, im sure I would trust you to do a great job, thanks mijo for sharing
@@PHARRAWAY oh my not far at all, how long would it take to fix my paint issues, how can I find out the cost as well, I feel you are trust worthy, or do you know anyone fair and trust worthy in Houston?
Why the paint you lay really wet didn't pick the old paint with out sealer-primer? Every time I tried same thing, picked the old paint, now I never paint faded panel without primer it first, that is why I'm surprised, it didn't happen on your hood. Great job 👍
During that last clear coat, I got nervous. Looked like you were moving very slow and I thought it might run. It turned out excellent. You also have the same compressor as me. HUSKY :)
@@hunkydude322 why would you go to bare metal to repaint?unless you have rust problems, you don't go to bare metal,this is not a repair is a paint job of a hood
Question. My hood has the clear pealing also. But if you look closely you can see cracks also. Can i do what you did in this video?or do I have to strip the entire hood down to the metal? Thanks ..
Great job. I'm a novice at this and I'm about to sand clear coat off my 2005 santa fe. My question is. I see that you use different psi for paint and clear. How is that determined?
Its all personal preferance. Sometimes I bump the pressure up for clear just to help break it up. If i up the pressure, i back off the panel a little more.
great video, ive painting for number of years etc.... and never have used sealer i went to vocational school for this trade, but to be honest iam thnking of seriously using on some chrome parts of this modern siverado, i can honestly see why this sealer would be used on chrome, but like i said i did work on my own cars and just skipped the sealer part, but anyways great video as always from the rusty state of michigan.
I recently just got into painting due to a disability that keeps me home. I been thinking about starting a business and I like what you have going on. Any advice or suuggestions that could set me up for success?
I think he is the only sprayer I've seen that doesn't flick his wrist when he comes to the end of the panel. I know your not supposed to do it but everybody does.
I usually let it dry for 15 min between coats and no the paint does not need to dry 100% if it does you will need to scuff it down to add the next coat so not recommended to dry 100%
Nicely done... I have a 99 Suburban where the clear on the roof is failing- I going to use Dupli-Color rattle cans and clear coat over the front driver/passenger and truck bed liner from the front of the roof rack back... Wish me luck! :)
I am a DIY hack and it would be nice to see how long the paint lasts in the sun as without a primer how long will it be before all that new paint starts to lift and you are back to square one. The job of primer is to give the base coat something to adhere to. A professional painter friend told me it's all about the preparation.
Great job carnal looks AMAZING don't ever let these negative gente get to you...or as one of my greatest mentors Les Brown says that his great mentor taught him is don't EVER let someone's opinion of you become your REALITY!!! Keep up the great n amazing work!!!
Excellent work! Your gun work has the three most important components: 1) consistent speed each coat; 2) consistent distance each pass; 3) consistent atomization at the tip. I promise you folks, it’s not as easy as he makes it look!

If you don't rip all that clear cot off it's going to peel again, 2K has a short tin life and after it has been opened i dice the tin after a few weeks. Trust me!
@@rosswoolley2854 i rather trust my roof. Besides that the 2k clear i have in a can with bottle neck is stil good after this time on a shelf...it activates if you use the activator/hardener. Beond that its not even like paint..hence 2K. The activator can go bad..but that is not the clear coat. Trust me..some ppl have clear coat stored 5 years...stil they paint cars without problems..besides buying some activator.
@@barrybeunhaas3336 Ok, The cars that i paint are just mine. The only ones that have flaked were from old tins, and would flake after a few years. I only use Dulux 2k. The shop recommended not to keep it once opened.
I was amazed how good the fresh paint lasted, i left a car up the back yard under a tree for over 6 years, had to sell it and it cleaned up like it was new just amazed me. Thanks for your reply :)
Absolutely fantastic job mate great video love watching geniuses at work ,blessed .
Ooooh, I love it, I have a 2006 GMC and the hood looks... well just like this. Props man.
Question - why no primer before respraying the base color?
That's my question to🤔
I think the primer is showing when he sanded
I would assume time and money, sounds like a coat of primer sealer is ideal but depends on how long you want the paint job to last and how much time/money you want to spend on the fix
I've been trying to learn a bit on how to do this and this is easily the best video I'v seen. Thanks!!!!
Its best to seal first .Those edges kick up and you have an atlas on your hood.
I would have sanded off all of the clear. It will bleed back. And yes, seal it all for coverage and preventing chipping. But maybe the truck is not to nice.
what does "seal" mean?
@@gigel99324 I'm assuming they mean a primer coat first, then base colour, then clearcoat.
@@gigel99324 when painters refer to sealer it's basically a non sanding primer that can be painted on after 30 mins. Primers or high solid primers are generally used to shape or blocksand a repair over bondo and its also a good substrate to paint over
This dude just knocked this paint job out of the park no sweat. This is why we pay professionals lmao
so you were able to level surface without spraying hi build primer on those spots where you have primer showing????? maybe it would not have hurt to spray those areas and then block sand first...
I have the same color Yukon and the clear coat has peeled in numerous spots. I’ve been thinking about trying to do it myself. Nice video!
I would definitely prime and sand that before applying topcoat
MAYBE SOME SEALER TOO
@benz merc no, I wouldnt remove all the base. Just sand it and feather it out good. But I would have at the minimum put sealer before base.
I like the result. The two things that are concerns when painiting a panel off the vehicle are color and texture, and here it looks like new.
came out nice color match out perfect
Wish you lived in Austin Texas , I’d have you paint my truck !
Not too far brother bring it down
Third coat of clear was the speed I would have imagined for the first coat. I am still learning... that being said, why was your first coat clear passes same speed as the base and your third coat slower? Glad I found your channel, great video!
Had not noticed that LOL but I usually do the same speed for the base and clear only the last coat slower so that I can make sure that I will not get any dry spots. Thank You for subscribing tomorrow or Sunday I'm going to upload a candy paint job stay tune.
@@PHARRAWAY If I got the time to watch I will. Thanks for the quick reply! I thought for sure with the age of the video and amount of comments mine would go unnoticed.
@@anthonysilva5015 Thank you brother I try to reply to everyone
@@PHARRAWAY That is a great quality and there are many on here that were that way in the beginning but I know once you get to a certain amount of video content it is nearly impossible and will not un-subscribe if one day you are blowin up with ton's of comments, I will think "good for him, he doin his thing."
@@anthonysilva5015 Thank you
Dam dude u have magic hands..nice job.....
Thank You brother
I think your skill level makes it look easy therefore I’m gonna leave it for a professional excellent job also,love your video mate from Perth Western Australia
Thank you brother
Nice video. How long did u wait between the base coats before applying the next coat? Then, how long did u wait after the last base coat was shot before you started to shoot the first clear coat? Then how long did u wait between clear coat shots?
Thank You brother I waited 15 min between coats on everything 15min between base and 15 between clear
I'm sitting here 3am, just going thru wishful thinking, your job looks very nice, if you lived in Houston, im sure I would trust you to do a great job, thanks mijo for sharing
Thank You but I live south of San Antonio
@@PHARRAWAY oh my not far at all, how long would it take to fix my paint issues, how can I find out the cost as well, I feel you are trust worthy, or do you know anyone fair and trust worthy in Houston?
@@anamarin6475 I think it's far it's in the RGV city of Pharr
almost seems to me that you did not repair the peeling coat, but removed it and than spray-painted the hood again.
Yes I did that is the only way to repair damaged clear coat
Perhaps you are referring to a blend repair of the clearcoat. That never works out well and is mucho more noticeable. He fixeeed it the best way.
@@anonimous2451 no I was not. It was a joke because he called the video "Repair"and not respraying hood and respraying the clear coat
@@Ruud1911 Alrighty then. Was giving you the benefit of the doubt. Whatever.
Why the paint you lay really wet didn't pick the old paint with out sealer-primer? Every time I tried same thing, picked the old paint, now I never paint faded panel without primer it first, that is why I'm surprised, it didn't happen on your hood. Great job 👍
Very nice job...laid down excellent
SprayWayCustoms you ever finish that box Chevy
During that last clear coat, I got nervous. Looked like you were moving very slow and I thought it might run. It turned out excellent. You also have the same compressor as me. HUSKY :)
LOL not at all the last coat was applied a bit heaver
"How to repair clearcoat" , or you could just repeat this process over entire vehicle, and I think that's called a "paint job"
in a way yes, but i don't know if you noticed but he didn't sand till he hit metal he stopped at the primer stage.
@@hunkydude322 that’s still a paint job lol u don’t have to hit metal to be considered a paint job
@@randyrasmussen8031 still he didn't have to go to bare metal so what's your point
@@hunkydude322 are u special lol my point is literally stated but I’ll make it easy “ it’s a paint job not a repair”
@@hunkydude322 why would you go to bare metal to repaint?unless you have rust problems, you don't go to bare metal,this is not a repair is a paint job of a hood
Where did you get the small desiccant air/dryer filter and the paint dryer?
you can find it on ebay
@@PHARRAWAY Thanks.
Have you never heard of sealer so that you don't have dark and light spots?
i think they make different color sealers for thoese that don't know.
Question. My hood has the clear pealing also. But if you look closely you can see cracks also. Can i do what you did in this video?or do I have to strip the entire hood down to the metal? Thanks ..
it's best if you strip the hood for that
PHARRAWAY Thanks.
Is that a Mexican spray booth?
No. Puerto Rican. 😅😅😅
Thanks brother I learned so much from you and i have one thing to tell you do the edges first then do the open areas
hama Chanel Thank You will do
So satisfying to watch. How much did you charge for this fix?
You can email me at pharrawaypaint@gmail.com
Se mira que pintan demasiado bien esas pistolas con mucha potencia que boquilla usa en ellas amigo..
Es de boquilla 1.3
Gracias primo
Great job. I'm a novice at this and I'm about to sand clear coat off my 2005 santa fe. My question is. I see that you use different psi for paint and clear. How is that determined?
Its all personal preferance. Sometimes I bump the pressure up for clear just to help break it up. If i up the pressure, i back off the panel a little more.
So many people complaining about the video title. He fixed the clear coat by repainting the car and putting a new clear coat on.
Yes that is the only way to fix that kind of clear coat damage
I’m not a painter, but can you tell me why on your clear, you laid it a lot slower after the first coat? Great job...looks awesome! Sub added.
the first coat was for adhesion after that you need to go slower for the shine and thickness
great video, ive painting for number of years etc.... and never have used sealer i went to vocational school for this trade, but to be honest iam thnking of seriously using on some chrome parts of this modern siverado, i can honestly see why this sealer would be used on chrome, but like i said i did work on my own cars and just skipped the sealer part, but anyways great video as always from the rusty state of michigan.
I recently just got into painting due to a disability that keeps me home. I been thinking about starting a business and I like what you have going on. Any advice or suuggestions that could set me up for success?
Hi brother nice, well hope that your neighbors good with you and have your area clean I have some videos showing that and you will do good
Nice work no useless chatter just information. Very good
The biggest challenge I see is matching the newly done hood to the vehicle that is not getting repainted
I think he is the only sprayer I've seen that doesn't flick his wrist when he comes to the end of the panel. I know your not supposed to do it but everybody does.
I do it lol.
I have a question, paint has to be dry 100 percent between coats? I think paint doesn't dry in 10 minutes between coats.
I usually let it dry for 15 min between coats and no the paint does not need to dry 100% if it does you will need to scuff it down to add the next coat so not recommended to dry 100%
@@PHARRAWAY what about between clear coats?
@@Oliverkousha It's the same 15min between coats it just needs to be tacky not dry
@@PHARRAWAY thank you for your help.👍
@@Oliverkousha any time brother
Lovely job done , plain and simple video on how to covered all you need to know.
Glad it was helpful!
wow i have a 2003 gmc yukon that needs a paint job lol wow awesome work
Thank You brother
@@PHARRAWAY you r welcome sir keep the videos coming
Nice job what gun did you use?
Walcom carbonio 360
Never stop in the middle of a stroke ..lol..during painting or sex
Nicely done... I have a 99 Suburban where the clear on the roof is failing- I going to use Dupli-Color rattle cans and clear coat over the front driver/passenger and truck bed liner from the front of the roof rack back... Wish me luck! :)
You will do good brother
Luck
The area should have had a sealer sprayed over it. Rookie repair that will show up in time
What's the you sealer you talked of?
I am a DIY hack and it would be nice to see how long the paint lasts in the sun as without a primer how long will it be before all that new paint starts to lift and you are back to square one. The job of primer is to give the base coat something to adhere to. A professional painter friend told me it's all about the preparation.
I like this video, you go straight to the point.
Great job carnal looks AMAZING don't ever let these negative gente get to you...or as one of my greatest mentors Les Brown says that his great mentor taught him is don't EVER let someone's opinion of you become your REALITY!!! Keep up the great n amazing work!!!
Thanks brother
