Thank you so much. very clear explanation. This helped me a lot. !
You welcome brother! Appreciate the support!
Thanks for sharing your work with us. You and some of the other TH-cam painters have really helped me with my project car. I’ve been painting the car little by little. One panel at a time lol. Still learning.
Awesome to hear! I appreciate the feedback! Share pics of your project at garagenoise247@gmail.com
Great tuition, gonna have a go myself on a Copart car I have in the garage, bought on a whim. Couldn't do it without video's like yours. Many Thanks
Right on!
Great information, enjoyed watching.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the support!
Snap on spray painter gun's and blue point are really good
Good stuff, thank you!
Excellent concise instruction, I'm getting ready to paint my 97 Trans Am with a budget Eastward gun. I'm going to binge watch your videos first.
Awesome! You can do it!
great video thanks
👍
Great video Thanks.saved
Best video I've seen on how to blend in paint. usually its a whole panel but that sometimes is not practical. Thanks Awesome job. I,m gonna give it a go using your great tips.
Awesome! I appreciate that. I typically do this type of blend but like you said sometimes it's the best solution for a situation. Appreciate the comment and support!
Gorgeous
Nice and to the point. Excellent tips for us DIY guys
Thanks 👍
Watching this is pure genius, what are pro. Thank you for the great tips.
You're very welcome!
Love the video! Great info! Keep up the good work!
Thanks brother! Appreciate the comment!
Hi Chris, another great video, i am doing my neighbours bumper next week so this has come a great time
Perfect! Appreciate the support
Looking good
Nice teaching
Thanks a lot
Amazing process, a couple of questions however. Why didn't you need to sand the clear coat down above the damage (on the natural body line)? You sanded the rest of the panel, but in this section you sprayed the base coat and the clear coat over un-sanded clear coat. You also scuffed the clear on the bottom left panel (from the damage), and blended that into the rest of the panel - but was there a reason you didn't do this on the right side of the damage? (You instead sanded and resprayed that whole bumper). I'm new to this, but it felt like you used 3 different techniques - one above damage, one to the left of damage, and one to the right of damage, to achieve the same or similar results.
Very good technique and a clean looking finish. Nice work.
Thank's for the comment Jon! Appreciate the support for the channel!
Appreciate your skill and expertise. Great work!
My pleasure! I appreciate the support!
Absolutely brilliant video, doing a similar repair and got this video as a go to.

Thanks Chris, now i can do my own project at home 💪
Your welcome! Appreciate the comment and support!
Nice 👍🏽
Thank you sir. Good info.
Very welcome!
Came out great. Im looking into fixing under paint rust in a corner of my roof and a bird etching on the hood of my car thats deep into clear/paint. If anyone has some tips i would appreciate some feedback. Its a 11 subaru outback.
I had a 1980 Corvette. At that time they used lacquer and I used to do some repairs. I have a new Infiniti in Graphite Shadow. In one week I damaged the front and rear bumper. Bad luck I guess. I’ve never worked with metallic paint or clear coat before but I’ll give it a shot. I learned a lot from your video thank you and please keep them coming.
LD
You can do it, not that tough and clearcoat is forgiving . Be sure to check out my other videos. I would use a wet bed /color blender
Awesome
👊
excellent explination, i
Many thanks!
Great video 👏
👍
Good job!!
Thanks!
Your sure doing a lot of work for such a little space on the rear bumper.
👍
You are amazing 💯
Thank you 🙌
Good video.
Thanks!
Great
Good job on what can turn into a cluster fck real quick. I’ve never used the blending agent, curious if it has a tendency to get cloudy after time. I always over reduce my clear with lacquer thinner after clearing and burn my edges. It blends good but usually dies back over time. Also, I usually dust my base on really dry…more air than fluid. Helps to keep original clear coat from wrinkling.
Good tips! A lot of different ways to do it. The blends will fail over time. Appreciate the comment and support!
Amazing work and video ! You mentioned this is also doable with spray cans ! I would love to see you do more videos using spray cans ! Some of us don’t have spray guns and compressors to paint I’m sure you understand, anyways just a though have a great weekend buddy !!
I've got one coming up soon! Thank's for the support
Dope vid! you just earned a new sub!!
Thank's! Welcome to the channel!
Excellent tips- you make it look easy! I'm repairing damage to a motorcycle carbon fibre cover that needs clearing just on the repair and not the entire piece, so I needed to understand how to do this and your vid helped. Is it possible or adviseable to mask off area, spray the clear, and then try to blend hard mask line w/ 1000- 1500?
Stay away from a hard mask line. Appreciate the support!
Lifesaver here!!!
Thank's brother!
EXCELLENT VIDEO,I was hoping you were going to use the type of blending clear that you put right in the gravity cup! Not dissapointented at all though . I always wondered if you should 1500 grit well beyond the blend to then come back with my high speed buff and 3m polishing compund and a foam pad..., you did answer all that for me thanks!!
Appreciate brother! Thank's for the comment and supporting the channel!
Love it Chris, thanks tons! One question, clearing over the back up sensor is ok I guess hey? I never know if I should try to protect it or not.
Yes ,it's ok they are cleared from factory
Great job and thank you for your time and help. Question..can you use a slow reducer to blend in the clear if you don't have blenz in?
Yes, reducer works just as well but don't put in on heavy
Hey, Chris. Talk about a well-timed video! I've watched it three times already. I burned through a door edge wet sanding, and I need to repaint and blend it in to the rest of the door.
I really dig that you're using the LT100, too. I'm using a Kobalt Quiet Tech 26-Gallon Compressor, and the LT100 is the perfect gun for that setup.
Also:
If you're looking for video ideas, I'd vote for one about how to paint door jambs without taking the doors off. 👍
Thank's for the comment Jeremy! Yeah really enjoying the lt100 . The fact that it works well with your small compressor is good information.
Good video ! I was wondering would you try showing a repair with aerosol
For viewers that don't have a compressors or paint guns. I will have a video on it soon.
Is that no 9 like fade out thinners?
I get that there's a market for this kind of work ie DIY guys and used cars but I hate when shops do this to my car. You always see that blend in a year or so no buffing that away. And it will peel around that chrome you taped up it can't be scuffed all the way down in there. Good stuff to learn though.
Agreed. This is a terrible repair especially considering it’s not hard or much more expensive to clear the entire bumper (the correct way.
@@jq8792 oke so we don’t need to repaint th whole bumper? only re-clear the whole bumper in this situation?
@@thomaswahahauw560 yes sir. Blend the repair area then clear the entire bumper.
Maybe customer wanted it done as cheep as possible
These bumper covers are so easy to remove it seems like it’s more of a pain to go through all the blending and creative masking than to just do the whole cover. Yes, paint is expensive, but add up that plastic used to cover the ENTIRE car plus the foam, the tape, the time, etc, versus only taping off the chrome and the scuff panel(in black, also deceptively easy to remove and replace, and removes any chances of the other commenter’s remark about the edges peeling. Indeed, if ANYTHING can grab an edge, it will, and subsequent attempts at sanding and buffing will undoubtedly find those edges and weaken their strength. Splitting hairs? You betcha I am, cause that’s the difference for longevity. Another person’s car? You may or may not care. Your own or family or friend’s car, you care. In 6 months or a year, do you really wanna hear even the most kind request to “touch up” your previous “fix”. I am knee deep into preventing just that as we speak on my mom’s car. I know her and know myself. If I see it. She will see it. If I are, she will care. Period. I can see the future, and if I don’t get it just right to MY standards, I’ll be doing again. I have painted parts of this SUV so many times I lost count. The hood, going into the teens. The passenger side I finally got so good it does t even need a cut-n-buff! Finally satisfied, as a cut-n-buff is how I got here in the first place, having burned through parts where I had put down so many coats of paint and clear I figured it would never get through. Wrong. In fact the OEM paint getting burned through was what led me here. I turned an average scratch and chip fix into a mostly full respray, all except the roof, where there was no rust, no dents, no dings, just chips and scratches, some pretty deep, and the blends just were not cutting it, pun intended. The finish I got on this last attempt, the passenger side, is so good I’m about to redo the drivers side. I definitely got myself into a hell of a bind but I’m forcing myself to learn something I once took for granted. Now, I understand why it could cost $10,000 for an OEM type repaint. Even though tons of hours have been spent on trial and error, the learning curve has been steep, but worth it, but I’m well into nearly 1,000 hours on this thing. Again, this last attempt has made the journey worth it. I still have a hard time looking at it and going, “damn, I did that!” An attempted run repair on the otherwise glass-like rear bumper cover brought me here, and watching this made me decide NOT to spot blend, but just respray it. The ends must justify the means. Always.
U definitely know your stuff 👍 though most paint manufacturers say to use light grit sandpaper like 3000 on end of blends . Only recently did find out the gray sotchbrite is key to good blends. I know blends are not recommended or warranted by paint manufacturers is very good skill to have especially sectioning of rocker panel and pillars
Agreed good skill to have but only use it as last resort and with customers consent. Appreciate the support!
You can also back polish the blend zone with rubbing compound with a pad then clear right up to that area then immediately use upol #9 until the blend zone turn clear and most importantly dry the blender with low air on your gun you not need to buff nothing, saves a lot of time
Ty
👍👊
When removing the masking , do you remove it once its fully cured , or 20 mins after or right away ? Thanks for the awesome videos and tips I appreciate it man
Not right away, about 20 minutes is good.
With the wet bed/clear base I’ve seen a few videos on it, but do you apply your base immediately after that clear base while still wet, or do you allow it to begin flashing?
Jarrett, I feel like either way works well . If I'm sprayin a silver or gold I try to apply the color while the clear base is wet. Appreciate the support brother!
I just tried this and I got some overspray beyond my sanded area that will scrape off with my nail. If I get all the extra loose clear off, how do I avoid the hard edge up to the point where it actually sticks? Will the upol #9 work even on the dry/semi cured clear edge? Hope that makes sense.
Upol #9 won't work after dry. It alway good to give yourself more prepared are for the blend cause you can always buff it after its cured.
If you were using the cans would you still use the clear before putting on the paint . If so would you use the same clear for after aswell as before ?
What I put on before paint is clear base coat, not clear coat. Some other names are color blender or wet bed. It's not completely necessary on a small job.
Cracking job 👏 chis well explained as usual so Chris a blending coate it's just a clear coat what you put on first
No, that is clear basecoat. Basically paint with no color. I havs a few videos on the topic if want to understand it better.
@@GarageNoise in the video you showed a can of spray max 2k clear with a color paint can but it wasn’t for the car. You said it can also be done using the cans right, so my question is, would it be better to spray the 2k clear over my primed quarter panel repair area and than proceed to shoot the metallic colour right after onto the 2k clear as you say it helps the metallics lay better. Or would I be better of to spray my colour first which is a black metallic sapphire bmw 475 and than proceed to clear it with the 2k and use the spray max spot blender to feather new to old clear coat ? Your professional opinion means a lot. Your a great teacher !!! 🙏🙏🙏
@@aimized1460 no don't spray base over wet 2k clear that will create a problem.
@@aimized1460 ok, you getting 2k clear coat confused with clear base coat . Clear base coat is what helps blend metallics. 2k clear coat is a top coat only. Here is a video that will help.
@@aimized1460 watch this th-cam.com/video/6TLp-YP2hfY/w-d-xo.html
I use aerosal from Microfinish on my repairs. Curious about whether my Ingersoll Rand 2hp 20 gallon needs an air dryer for an occasional paint job. And what gun to order if I decide to step it up. Do guns have a filter on them I see the regulator.
I add a inline water trap. Cheap insurance
@@GarageNoise I have that for my air tools. Thx
👏👏👏
👍
thanks for showing how to clear coat blend. looks like i need a blender can before i proceed with my clear coat blend. Can we see few month later results? is clear coat blend still good? I noticed you put down wet bed, What is that? does that help clear coat blend?
You can just use reducer to wash in the blend it works well too. You don't have to use clear base but it helps metallics lay down. Check out this video for how to use aclear base.
th-cam.com/video/6TLp-YP2hfY/w-d-xo.html
Are you suggesting that we could use the 2k aerosol clear coat (or other type of aerosol clear coats) to use as a wet bed? I thought there was a difference between a clear base and a cleat coat. Nice video!
No don't use Aerosol clearcoat as a wet bed. Clear basecoat is what you want to use some call it a color blender. Speedcoat make a color blender that works well. Appreciate the comment and support!
Hi, so is the technique of blending paint or clear coat having a loose mask of paper so the paint or clear coat can sneak underneath mask? When you sprayed the clear coat, was there a noticeable difference in finishes on that bumper?
This is exactly what I am attempting, and could use the advice. Thanks
Follow the video but the idea of the paper is so you don't have a hard line of clear and yes so a little clear sneaks under there then spray over the blend with the upol #9 or a little bit of straight reducer will help it to melt in. Then a light buff away from the blend. There shouldn't be a difference in the finish othe than the blend area should only be slightly duller. Hope this helps appreciate the support!
Usually what is the durability for blending lines to last ? Do also do them on panels that are normally facing the sun ? Thanks for the advise
It's hard to say but they will fail eventually. What I mean by fail is you'll be able to see them. The blends will last if it's not getting direct sunlight . Appreciate the comment and support!
what happens when the blender is applied heavy and you get runs? it burned through for me and it still shows =(
Nice video as always Chris!
did the fc710 loss gloss a bit Compared to the fc720? Still torn between those 2.. I like the dust free time of the fc710 since I don’t have a garage 😬 just temporary setup with plastic sheeting 😅
I've used the fc710 a few times now. I will bwe doing a review but I love it! If your not doing an overall paint job I would definitely use the fc 710 I painted it in 95° heat and it flowed out beautifully no dieback held it's gloss perfectly. I haven't had the chance to cut and buff it tho so i can't speak on that.
@@GarageNoise wow nice! Can’t wait for the review then 😁 pretty much sold on the fc710 my repair will be rust on lower front fender and I need to blend on the front door so pretty much perfect for that job! Thanks again ☺️
Sure there is a time and place for this it's called saving time and materials for a car that's going to get damaged again any way. Its a soccer mom car
For sure!
Excellent information as always. I've got a few small spots on my silver metallic truck that I would like to fix without re-painting the entire truck.. Your video-and the information within, will absolutely help me accomplish that.
Right on! Happy to help. Appreciate your comment and support!
Can you use a reducer instead of a blending agent
For the clear blend yes. Light coverage tho appreciate the support!
Do you have a video on how to blend single stage ?
No I don't sorry.
i tried spot repairing an issue on my front bumper at the top where it meets the hood. When I sprayed the clear coat I hadn't seen this video yet so now I can see where the edge of the clearcoat I sprayed is and where the factory clear coat is as well. How would I redo this repair so you can't see the edge of the new clearcoat I sprayed? I'm concerned if I spray new clearcoat over this again that it's still going to show the edge of the clearcoat I just sprayed.
If you dont want any blend line it's best to clear the full bumper but if you don't want to do that you need to wet sand it down a larger area past the current blend add basecoat and then clear . Washbthe blend line in with reducer and finally buff making sure to buff away from the blend
Quick question...if you were planning to polish the entire car after fixing that area, would you still tape off the entire car?
Yes, clearcoat overspray will cover everything in an enclosed space.
Oreillys Can mix you up a can of custom paint in spray can?? 😮
Chris, i am using Kleenstrip Prep all as my Wax and grease remover then i wipe with alcohol and see some minor fish eye. Can you tell me what Waz grease remover you use please.?
Kleenstip is what I use. Luis we're you the one I was talking to about solvent pops ? Are you using clean rags?
Show how to repair newly painted panel with color and clear. Also keep area small. I'd love to see that. That keeps us from refinishing entire panel.
That's a video that is on my list to do. Appreciate the comment and support!
I'm body tech at a high-end shop 45 yrs experience. Spent the first 20 as painter. I'm not about to retire but have recently been doing combo in home shop. I still enjoy paint work but cost of material sucks the fun out of it. I just wanted to see if I could still do quality paint work at home , thanks for your videos looking forward to spot repair on fresh panel.
i am curious about how the blend of basecoat occurs. Won't the new atomized basecoat boundary still be visible of the left because of difference in color and faint overspray etc. ? I understand that color blending with clear coat is less of an issue and sanding afterwards will improve the blend of clear.
The basecoat blen is less likely to be visible than the clear blend as lon as the color is a close enough color match.
@@GarageNoise I will have to try it next time. I wonder why they don''t make or use a blending solvent for basecoat like they have for clearcoat.
@@rcarioca check out my videos on wet bed, clear basecoat that is what is typically used for blending difficult basecoat like silvers or other metallics.
What kind of paint gun are you using that requires 30psi at the inlet? That's insane. I never go more than 10 at the inlet.
Great video Chris I do love these smart repair job's well explained now the spray gun you was using was a 2 cfm what cfm was your compressor I am interested in getting a compressor what cfm do you recommend for a 2 or 3 cfm spray gun also how dose it spray with a 2 cfm is it more controlled thank you for this video would not mine seeing another smart repair video
The gun I'm using requires 4.25 cfm to operate consistently. Viewers have said they use this gun with a 25 gal compressor from harbor freight. I haven't been able to test this gun with a small compressor but plan to. Get the largest cfm compressor that you can afford. Mine produces 16-17 cfm's. Thank's for watching!
Summitracing LVLP says 3-4cfm but its pretty much the same gun as LT100. I have both and the aircap are the same. I use a 20 gal Husky quiet compressor.
Hello I can get hold of a 50 liter with 2 hsp 9cfm do you think I won't be ok with this compresaer to run a lvlp
@@husky1239 I think it would run this gun for sure.
Thanks for that so I would be ok I mean 50 liters I like 10 gallons 20 gallons would be 90 liters I suppose if the hsp is 2.5 it would be good
Great video. How much a job like this will cost
Not a client's vehicle but I would think around $300.00
how long do these touch up paints last? (Will they flake?)
No they won't flake but what happens is the sun starts to damage the blend and eventually you'll see the blend line it's not terribly bad but just not perfect.
How long would you say this kind of repair lasts before failing?
Hard to say this being that it's down low and away from the sun probably years.
For my bike, the clerk gave me the 1K instead the 2K. It's for my rear fender. Big scratch. Am I be ok with the 1K?
I would use 2k , you can use 1k takes longer to cure and sometimes it can react to basecoat or old paint. If you use the 1k apply it with light coats. Of course you want to sand out the scratch first.
@@GarageNoise thanks
For something small like this I would just scuff up the reaming bumper prime and paint, I hate the blending
I do too. I don't recommend it but point of the video is to demo how to do it. Appreciate the comment and!
Why did you sand the right side of the bumper with 800 grit but the left side with a gray scuff pad that has a higher grit (1000-1500)? Why not use the gray scuff pad for the entire job?
On the right side I want a better a deeper scratch for adhesion. On the left I used the lighter scuff pad because It's where I blended the clear . I wanted to easily be able to buff the blend line. Appreciate your comment and support!
how long will the blend last?
No way to tell it will fail at some point.
I am spot painting my door on my truck. The original paint is single stage. I sprayed primer, paint, and clear, my question is how do I blend the clear into the existing paint? Will blending spray eat away the single stage paint? That’s the part I’m having trouble with is blending the clear into the rest of the door
Ok, can I ask why you don't want to clear the complete door? I know it's additional work and materials but you'll get a much better repair that will last much longer. With that being said you can blend the clear to a solid color single stage paint. Your orig paint needs to be sanded with 1500 in the blend area and the buffed out after it's cured. If you have a metallic color wet sanding the single stage will remove paint and affect the appearance of the color. Your much better off blending color then clearing complete panel.
@@GarageNoise I only repainted a part of it. Thinking about it, it will probably be a lot easier to just sand the door and clear the whole thing. I’m just worried that it will stick out from the rest of the truck being that the paint is single stage. The spot I did looks good the paint blends in but I had a little bit of trouble with the clear, some of it blended and some of it had to hard of a line. Mind you I have the slightest clue when it comes to painting. My truck started to peel and the dealership won’t fix it. I figured it would be an easy fix, boy was I mistaken. I’m going to try and blend it but if it doesn’t work then I’m going to clear the whole thing
@@GarageNoise and it’s the Toyota super white paint. Super thin. I sanded down one of the clear coat lines with 2000 grit and I started taking paint off the original side.
