Perfect results Gabe. Undetectable repair, that's the sign of a Craftsman. Thanks for another great video tip. Take care.
Thank you so much ! You are too kind !
Great tips Gabe...thanks for sharing
A question... iknow your doing waterborn base..but the the clearcoat..also water base..or is tha solvent base clear?
Clear is solvent not water yup
Those colad sensors are awesome they sent me some to demo and I loved them
Did u use 5000 were the middle of the bumper is we're the bag was... And was that a soft pad or hard on the polisher
Yes soft
What is a blow-in and why is it called that? I googled it and nothing relevant came up.
Blow in, small repair, smart repair, spot repair, all it is is just doing a small repair without painting the whole panel
Excellent job. I try to keep it. All in my mind.
Interesting the last bit at the end, I'm no professional but I'm finding with lighter color (satin silver) that it look okay at first, then different light, or after few days look more and more like shit.
What's up Gabriel ? Hey have you ever tried painting summit White wa 8624 it's way off I painted the whole rear .. what should I do
With ppg evirobase is a good match. I would tell you to get the right variant and repaint brother
@@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS used a nason xl ok thanks a lot great video like always
Superb video, thanks for taking the time to make it.
Hey bro does the spot blender have some clear in there cuz i see the method is to bind everything together
I have no clue what's in there dude! 🤣
Man that's a great tip.👌👏👏 Thanks I was having problems with my blends but I will try it your way. Thanks a lot.👍
Much love I am glad it helps!
Gabe...see u are useing static gun more and more ....i have been useing it for the last 6 months...wow what a diff..in the clean work
Thanks !!!! Yes it's great !!
Very good job! Tnx for the info! Finally some clear and simple explanations :)
Thank you !
Saim my job
Do you spray the new clear coat over the old clear and then spray blender or do you leave a gap and then spray it.
Basically is the spot blender just a thinner that blends or is it a lacquer too? :)
Great video😊
This is not good paint and clear
My suggestion is used 218 black paint kaizen company and clear paint baking clear paint on kaizen company and you look awesome shining
Man you really motivate me, thank you so much for an awsome tutorial. Very good tips for beginner painters like me. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
Woohooo I'm glad !!!!!🤪
Hi doing Gabriel 1 question what kind of blower gun are you using in this video? God bless you brother.
Hey brother ! Motivatedpainters.com my fav blower !
I tried some of that spray blender in a can just recently, I wish I had found it earlier now. Makes things easy. Nice work as usual by the way
Ahaha awesome !!! It works very very well ! Enjoy !
I've used the Sherwin Williams BS12 - URE-BLEND® Clearcoat Blender spray can stuff. Worked very well. Noticed "Jimmo" on Refinish Network using once.
@@RPMX4 so u use the blend instead of a 2k clear can?
@@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS why did u not spray the blender across the whole area? U stayed away from the place u based coated and clear coated
@@waynewilliams5802 I think blender is put on where the new clear coat ends. If you didn't use blender, and just stoped the clear coat in the spot, then there would be a a line, or some dry overspray that wouldn't stick, or you could see where the new clear ended. Blender melts the old clear coat, into the new coat you just sprayed.
No blender needed on the blow in of the base coat because it got 2 full coats of clear, going straight to the end of the panal.
Thank you very many! I needed just this. Lets see if I can one wheel bike myself through this with spray can paints and my through draft tent tunnel
how do blends done in this manner hold up to time and weather ? do they eventually oxidize and profile on the edge ?
Cool sensor covers. Didn't know about those. Thanks!!
me either. i was told by the body man at my work that does all the bmws that bmw bumpers couldnt be repainted more than once because of those sensors not working with to much millage of paint.those covers totally fix that problem.you ever hear that gabe. i know you work at a bmw dealership.
nice job brother i learn more from your vedio and full support to your channel
Thanks for the video! Very helpful, God bless!
I'm gonna pass this video to our polisher, maybe he will stop burning cars daily.
What is the durability on blending vs painting the entire panel , I work on high end vehicles but i am afraid on those car returning in a couple of years , thank you for greet video
Hi Gabriel! Amazing work and awesome content. How long do you wait after spraying the clear to apply the blender? And how many coats of clear do you apply when doing a blow in? Do you just one coat?
Two coats of clear and right away the blender
Thank you teacher!
Beautiful job man. Nice!
Thank you !
amazing dude. I tell you what, I've just been working this trade for a little over 2 years now, prepping full time & learning to spray & getting in the booth more often now this year. I learn something new from you every single video I watch. I've never heard of a blow-in before & I'm amazed how well that turned out lol. thanks for doing what you do man!
Haha your welcome ! 😘
Nice work. Thanks
why do you add the colad sensors sticker why not just paint over?
It's matted
Does the spot blender cover the 5000 grit scratches?
Great video looks real good. My blends were never consistent ??
Does only the blender go in the 5000 area or does clearcoat go in the 5000 area and then blender over the top of it?
What would you recommend the best way to quick fix a very small area with polishing burn through? Would that blending spray can help fix this? Thanks.
Honestly if it on a bumper you could do a small repair but if is on another panel you should sand prime base the spot and clear the rest of the panel
where to buy spray 1k max bland?? are you seller??
I m painter Toyota dihatsu
When you say 5000 that is referring to 5000 grit sandpaper correct? 5000 on the far right side over to the left where your non clear coated side is you're about to clear coat. So when you add clear coat there will be a little that dont get touched because your 5000 grit sandpaper section is that wall between where your clear coat is and where clear coat isnt and the blender will tie it all together?
Yes sir
Can the clear coat be durable with this method compare to just sanding and reapplying 2 medium clear coat?
I don't recommend on top panels
Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I keep another gun with slow reducer and just blend with that ... I use it B4 paint and blend into it and B4 and after for clear ...
Of it works for you it works lots of people do it like that and it's also cheaper! I just got used to the 1k spray max blender and it works amazing for me
Great video Gabe 👍🏽nice singing on instagram 😃
That spray max blend seems to be pretty nice the axalta one is pretty iffy. I prefer using the blender in the gallon 👌🏻
marshpaint89 in PPG we have blender in a gallon as well, when I use the blender in a gallon the spot doesn’t even need to be polished
I love spray maxx. Great spot blender
Have you tried using One choice uniform clear blender in a aerosol?
I do not like it at all
Hi Gabe. I am new to your channel. Love the content and the way you explain the process. Looking forward to your upcoming videos. Lawrence from Heathrow London.
Thank you so much brother!!!!
DAMMMM you got a lift built in to the booth! That's awesome, sure it comes in handy. That's nicest booth ive ever seen. Im building my Mobile paint and body business at the moment. What do you think you would charge for a used car lot to do a small repair and spot in like in this video? $175 is where Im at now roughly.
Awesome yes probably
I thought you guys were located in the US
That’s one hell of a paint booth. Never seen one with a lift, is that custom?
Thanks man!! It's a German made called wolf
Why did he not spray the blender across the whole area?
Great job
Very good job Gabriel!!! When you use devilbiss hvlp for basecoat how many bar spray?
I use the tekna basecoat at 18 psi
Such an amazing channel brotha.👍🏼👍🏼 what’s been your experience on how long those blow outs last? My pop and I were thinking of offering spot painting, but we live in a small town and I worry about it not holding up very long? I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Hey brother i honestly have never had one come back!! I think when done this way it last !
Like how you give your teammate credit and appreciation, rare nowadays. I use SprayMax 2K clear but I had no idea that they had blending clear, nice! We used to use a few slow reducer coats to melt in clear blends, but your technique is much easier. 😊👍🏻
Awesome!🤗
I assume you use the same method an any part of the car you want to blend eg.blending top half of a panel to the bottom half?
I only do anything like this on bumpers
So much to learn from you.. Sir... Thank you... For taking the time to make such a detailed video for people like me especially.. Thank God bless
Thanks so much!!!! Hope I help!
I have been searching for the right sanding grit 'formula' for blending the clear on a blow-in. THANK YOU!!! Beautiful results....
Can't emphasize the importance of using the grits to your advantage in your prep. Amazing job
Thanks souch man !!
Hello. I was just wondering what brand/model hood you have for oxygen? Thanks.
Sata visión
💪🏽How long did you wait before adding the spot blender on the Clear?
Hey gabe I was wondering what would happen if you happened to get some dust in you clear coat while doing a blend job. Would you be able to wetsand the clearcoat and the blender and then polish it or would it peel back were you wet sanded your blender?
It all depends how much you put on it. But you will probably burn through
Hey man love your videos. Where can I order those sensor covers I do allot of BMWs. Great videos btw Ive been using standox blender in my sata and it works great, but I just ordered the same blender ur using it comes in next week Im curious how it turns out.
Awesome! You should be able to get them from colad
un eleva-car dentro de la cabina de pintura ..me parece fantástico...buen trabajo felicitaciones.
Gracias !!
How do u know when it gets reacted up
Really clean prep work. Nice job on the clear pattern
Nice job
If im putting multiple coats of clear, when do I add the blender?
You can do a little before you clear then at the end
You are a very good illustrator! Keep doing the good job
Thank you 🤗
I miss painting
Awesome job my friend 👍👏👏👏👌👌👌
Thank you!!!!!😍🤙🙏🙌
You don’t need to blend black
Excellent
Hey Gabe, do you think 3000 would work for the blender?
Yes sir
Whats the technique to blend in the middle portion of the bumper , where it was masked off?
I don't want to shoot the clear to thick and create and edge or border.. When I try to " fade " it in , the clear looks matte.
Thanks
Prep prep prep is all in the prep give yourself lots of room mask as open as you can so that you can give yourself lots of room to blend the clear
Gabriel Merino
Maybe there is massive difference between the spray can clear and the clear in a can.
Even at the transition point of the blending , when the clear dries , within that boundary it’s rough and matte.
I don’t think that’s prep ; maybe it’s the quality of the clear ?
Would you wet sand this over the counter clear ?
Could be quality yeah. I would be nervous to try to wetsand can clear. Maybe lightly sadn and reclesr
Gabriel Merino
Sounds good ,
Thanks for the reply and insight.
Very informative video, Gabriel. Thank you. You always get pro results.
I'm going to try similar fix, but clear coat and blend scare me. :D If it looks ok from 3 feet away, I'll be happy.
Sorry to be off topic but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Santino Gordon Instablaster :)
@Fox Harold I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Fox Harold it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass!
@Santino Gordon glad I could help xD
Nice. Will the 1k yellow in the sun eventually?
Not that I have noticed! I have been using it for year now
Hey what a coincidence I needed to see this it’s very helpful and great timing of this video being posted. I have to do a blow in today from a burn through I did yesterday trying to remove a small tap line from overspray that went further under my soft edge than I had planned on! I took you’re advice and just went out there and just started spraying for my first time with a spray gun and ended up respraying the front bumper and side view mirror only twice but resprayed the hood and two front fenders 4 times and ended up learning so much especially cause I had my girlfriend record me so I could go back and watch each coat to see what I was doing that needed to be changed and it helped so much! I tiger striped the hood the first two times spraying a silver metallic for first time probably didn’t help but the I realized I was not holding gun at a 90 degree angle when spraying the hood and I fixed it on third spray and wayla no more tiger stripes but I went tacked the side fender and then went to tack the hood and smeared the paint cause t wasn’t dry haha so that’s why I had to respray a 4th time but I’m thankful because I got a lot of practice! Thanks for all you’re knowledge and help!
Thanks so much !!!!!! Yes we learn so much from mistakes !!!! Glad you are getting better !!!
From Portugal my friend , keep working like that ,love your work and your tips, all the best for you .
Thank youuuuuu!!!!!!!!😁
Nice job
How long do you wait for the paint to dry before buffing the blended area?
Should wait couple of hours at least after bake
👍👍👍
Nice job my quistion is if you was to use a eg 2000 grit and then you sprayed the blender it would run am I correct?
Now you sprayed the blender on a 5000 gritt and you sprayed alot on and it didn't run I havnt tried that yet nice tip Gabriel thank you for the video
Just found your channel great content. Thanks
Thank you!!
Hey I was recently put in a spot repair position... so I'm limited to what they use but I was hoping to get some more detailed tips and tricks for a pro ( no one there really knows much)... I can give more detail on brands and stuff if you dont mind reaching out. Thank you and I really enjoyed the video
Let's say you to use a sealer and couple coats of base..will you do it any differently? Thanks.
Yeah just give yourself more room
@@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS
Will do, and thank you sir for your time and your attention
Motovpainter,,Is the ws400 still number#1 for clear or sagola for clear.?
Both are great!!!!😍
MOTIVATED PAINTERS thanks for reply..
Is the walcom now your favorite clear gun over the beloved iwata
Yupperssss!!
MOTIVATED PAINTERS need to demo that Walcom has it being real hard to find a gun to beat that Iwata
Iwata iwata.....
Great Tip my man Gabe! Those sensor covers are the shizzz
Im gonna say your favorite word now. That looks NICE! 😋
Hahahahaha!!! YYEESSS!!!!!!! NICCEEEE!!!😍
Very nice
Good tip bro
nice tip on blending clear thanks gabe love the sensor sticker
Thank you !!!
Thx for a teaching greeting from Poland 😎
Thanks for watching!!!
Great video! I tried to do something like this but where I sprayed my blender crinkled up the older original paint. But I had sanded that area with 1500 since clear was landing in that area....but I see you only used 5000 where your blender hit. Do you think the 1500 is why it crinkled up the paint?
Nice tip and as always brilliant work!
Thank you so much !!!!!😍
👌
Do you wet sand the 5000 grit?
Yes
Beautiful job Gabe. Well explained and great result!! 👍
Thank you !!
Hope you didn't get clear on the bottom part of the tire ;)
hi gabe, I have bmw 1 series with a small burn through near the corner of the rear bumper. can your video be followed to sort out the problem. so I would wet sand the area with 800 grit, 1000 grit ( repair area), 5000 grit for blending area
Absolutely
MOTIVATED PAINTERS you da man. 👍
@@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS Hey Gabe, it says on the technical data sheet for the spray max spot blender to sand repair area between 2000 and 4000 grit, what made you decide to go with 1000 grit in the repair area? Also what made you go 800 -1000-5000 instead of 5000- 1000-5000? Why 800 on one side of the old paint and 5000 on the other side of the old paint?? Thanks
Nice video champ,ty
Thank you!
