Yeah I've been messing with epoxy and it really is a challenge to get anything totally clean. There's always some spec of dust floating around. I was almost surprised to see that's an issue in a professional environment, but I have thought about a clean room and how hard that is to keep dust free. Especially for painting it's even harder with all the dust, very well done for sure.
Even from factory it wouldn't look that good. Overall amazing result and video. Love all tips and tricks along way. Just satisfying to watch and learn each time. 😁👍
I love the fact that you are passing your knowledge on for free, but it seems like a significant portion of this video was nothing but you pushing products. Kinda makes me wonder why people bother to pay for TH-cam premium when the person doing the video is just as bad at pushing products as the platform
I wouldn't paint anyone's car cheap either... I spent a lot of money putting my system together, & my time is valuable... No money, no paint... want it done for material cost? Then buy all the stuff & do it yourself...want to rent my equipment for basically nothing so you can destroy my set up, not fix it & then complain about cheap, shoddy equipment? Get lost... I'm retired, so I quote high & cash only... either it'll make them go somewhere else & I can spend my time working on my own stuff, or I'll get paid fairly & it'll be worth doing... when you don't need the money, they can't take advantage of you...
Oh yeah... it's like a disease here... somebody sees you doing good, they feel obligated to try to fk it up for you...& act like they're doing you a favor...Lol!
It always gets me when I get people that think I paint cars for 100-500$ 🤣🤣🤣🤣 People really don't have a clue what it actually takes. You displayed exactly why paint Jobs aren't 500-1000 anymore!

Hey buddy Thank you so much for all the information I really appreciate it you’re the kind of man that only comes once in a lifetime Keep up the good work!!! Many thanks brother
I wish i knew what a quality paint job should cost, but the range of quotes I've gotten for a respray in the same original color is all over the place with no rhyme or reason. Theres no rust, no or minimal dings or dents, and i get ridiculous quotes of $10k to $20k. I make it explicitly clear that im not trying to get some sort of show-quality paint job too. I feel like these are all "I don't want to paint your car" quotes.
I PAY all of my friends to paint their cars. Because every time they see how I painted their car, they shake their fist at me and say, "You'll pay for this, buddy!" Cripes, I'm so bad that I can't even paint the town red.
I always do a cross coat by actually turning the fan nozzle not tilting the gun. I sprayed business jets and certain areas have to be smooth within .003-.005” inch in front of the static ports for accuracy. Cross coats are the only way to achieve that without block sanding or buffing. On cars I still use that technique to prevent zebra striping and when I sprayed houses it was super important to eliminate zebra stripes and get the correct wet mil thickness for warranty coverage and UV durability here in the South

Hey Brian, back in March I painted a car silver metallic and cleared it with Acme Finish 1 FC720 and FH612 medium hardener. No issues until today when I spilled some gas while pumping and it bubbled up the clear and paint right below the fill hole on the quarter panel. Did I do something wrong? Not enough curing time? Do you have any videos that address this kind of issue? Thanks in advance.
Which is better cheaper a-lot of customer week days? Or expensive but less customer? Cheaper guy earning 80k per week in 20 cars While the expensive guy 3 cars 80k in a week
The cellphone camera is not doing the paint job any justice. Maybe with the 500K subscribers you could justify getting a better quality camera to record these videos.
Having worked for several shops with crap equipment, calculating paint to the gram not being allowed to prime and block properly not to mention being poisoned daily im DONE Screw your car not worth it
That's why I went to Mexico to have my impala 64 as to get it done because is way cheaper thn USA money better work better quality of work and cheap and the guys in Mexico they move fast
I've seen a lot of paintjobs that were half assed, painted wheel wells and fender liner, painted condenser, overspray on the chassis on pickup trucks, taped window trims, side mirrors, and door handles. Like they never heard of back masking, foam tape and trim tape with the plastic edge. Cringe.
Sorry friend, but I hate silver color, what ever. To my eyes, there are two colors that car should never be painted, is silver and white. They are ugly as hell. No matter how much you polish it, it will never show, it a waist of time. However, this is not real the typical silver. It look more like lite grey. See you on the next video
I am just curious to know the price. I myself the lucky one that all of my cars were brand new and doesn't need a paint job. For me 8K just don't justify for a complete paint job because I would pay that 8k towards to another new car and call it a day. Oh well, that's just me.@@DJV94022
Would you paint a candy base coat the same way you did this job? I want to experiment with a candy red and black and a silver metallic two tone on my old Ford truck.
Brian much appreciate your videos! I don’t have the expensive equipment but I watch your videos take my time and I paint in my garage at home, I’ve won multiple 1st place awards at car shows with my charger!
A coworker asked me how much for dent repair plus repaint. His eyes bucked when I told him the cheapest I would go is about 2-2500 for a simole scuff & shoot with lower tier paint. He then says he wants to change the car color. His tone worsened when I told him about $4000 because of the work involved, and that's still cheap. He claimed he could get it done cheaper elsewhere. Good for him, as I would rather not touch anything of his at this point because he doesn't respect the time, labor, and material costs involved. Not to mention, he wants it done in a fast manner. Nope, nope, nope.. I'm not a shop and work a full-time job alongside him. What am I supposed to do... endure staying up all night and go to work for days, for pennies???
That's a fair price around me. $2500-3k for respray and about 5k for color change. My friend got both his and his wifes Mk4 Supras painted for under 10K. Hers was a color change and his was a factory silver reapray. When I see people post 10k resprays it boggles my mind.
@alpha2turbo I see shop owners claim the 10k resprays all the time. I don't agree with it. That's just crazy, but I also don't agree with 500-1k full respray, as the coworker suggested. There's too much invested in the prep & supplies alone. He claimed he's gotten it in the past and even got the job done in a day or two, so I suggested that he return to wherever he's gotten such deals. Willing to bet it won't happen.
@@bosshawg7427 People sometimes have unrealistic expectations. They want SEMA paint work for a bare minimum price. Rock bottom at Maaco I think is bout 500.00. If you advise that route people get offended lol.
@@PaintSociety that just leads me to more questions lol that’s really cool your a teacher. Why did you take up painting? Are you the only painter at your job? I’d love to know more.
silver is really hard i remember when we painted my 66 Mustang GT drop top how much prep and time it took but the end results were concours level perfect. prep and taking your time really is key. I see so many bad silver paint jobs on the roads and it drives me nuts seeing all the tiger stripping and mismatch with panels due to bad technique..
Hi Brian, i think it would be useful for many people to make a video where you explain how to mask the car with the plastic sheet.I know that it looks easy to do while watching your videos, but probably it's not.. thanks!
I wouldn’t over reduce the slow to help slow down the dry time.. it will reduce the color coverage of the base to much. You can put your first two coats on and then over reduce it a little for your final drop coat but if you don’t normally spray that way I’m not sure it’s a method for a do it yourselfer because you don’t want to cause other problems for yourself. I would have them order the extra slow or just spray it with what they have
@@bodyshopsolutions695 yes i usually spray that way. however since i’m spraying in an open garage some really hot summer days i will start to get sand piling and grittyness.
@@albertchavez2693 that can vary so much depending on what the owner wants and what the vehicle needs to get there. There is no given number.

So that silver metallic is what i have on my f 150 and its not even as great looking as your paint job, the shop that did my truck didn't do a great job on blocking UGH :(, man I wish you painted mine :)
I used to paint in a spray booth that leaked water from the roof, it was a struggle in rainy days. What I would have given for your set up, slick work. Even Earl Scheib had a better booth with no ups and no extras at $99.95 😂😂
The only silver car I ever liked was a little shitbox small car, what made it stand out is the guy had silver tint put in the windows which matched the shade of the silver almost exactly. Looked Boss! Old guy that worked my cars showed me how to degrease an engine. spray oit down with degreaser in a stonechip gun so it foames over nice. leave it for ten minutes, then come in with the pressure washer... of course My cars are 30 and 48 years old, so much less electronics to avoid.
Great video Silvers and also Charcoals can always be tricky. Definitely the prep for silvers them metallics will find the smallest scratch to lay in. Last week did 4 silvers in a row though for sure I pissed the paint Gods off Lol. The only place was the hoods that gave me problems in the past. First pass horizontal second vertical then orientation coat. Always slow reducer a must. That’s what I found works for me on a complete. I’ve learned spray it don’t play with it just because it’s Silver. Can’t be dusting here dusting there thinking you see something you don’t. Just spray it like you say it’s only paint. So you like the Sikkens system Noble been treating me pretty good just got there Valorem system put in my shop a couple months ago. Best sealer I’ve sprayed lays down flat. Camera is also pretty good. Only problem with Noble there metallics are always to course. Always have make adjustments on formulas. Sprayed there Imperium same problem. You have that problem with Sikkens? But once again great video. Can always learn keep an open mind that’s how I feel about this Industry.
The obvious issue is labor costs. Very few cars are worth investing $20k in a paint job. But if you love your car, and you’re going to keep it for a long time, spend the money.
I have a question I’m using a high gloss clear 4:1 with a slow hardener and I’ve adjuster my air down up down and every time I am spraying dry the clear is not laying even any tips to try and help me resolve this issue ? I’m using a sata 4000 thanks in advance 🙏
I have a vehicle that I want to paint flat (non metallic) light sky blue. It'd be easier for me to paint it panel by panel, will that work for a non metallic paint? Also, I was planning to do it two weekends; instead of one to save on vacation time. Will it still come out looking good/ok, or should i realy just eat the vacation time and do it all in one go?
I get alot of old heads with classics always asking me how much to paint an old school car and i always quote them above 5k and they change there minds damn cheap bums 😂😂😂
I really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for educating those who don’t know that overall paint jobs are not easy or cheap it adds up on too many little tasks I’ll never paint a whole car again for less than 5k. I can’t do half fast job. Your paint job speaks for you.
Hi Brian, Been watch your video's for awhile. I'm just starting to prep my silver 68 mustang for a full repaint. I only use email for the most part and would love to ask a couple questions about prep and paint. Is there a way to send you the small list of questions other then using the comments to talk back and forth. Not sure if there is a email address that I can use. Love your video's and I would make my questions quick. Just need to check a few items. Thanks very much for any time you have.
Hey bud good job I'm a painter aswell I just painted a fairlane zc all in one go with another painter need 2 for big jobs lol I painted it with gunmetal grey from new subaru colour met pearl and dam it come out good used cromax cromma clear absolutely impressive clear coat 20:18
These kinds of results should never come cheap unless you're doing it for the wife or for your mom. I watched the video again because I remembered so much going on here. A customer who cares about having their car all one color after it's been recently repaired are rare and for the most part aren't afraid to spend the money. It would have been great to record the customer do a walk around,seeing the expression on his/her face. I'm sure the owner is more than pleased with the final results. Great video.
I restore tractors and getting in all the nooks n crannies can be a b but getting it clean is hard too some have 50 years of dirt and grease on them is important also

Some recommend doing the drop coat or coats crossed in direction to help enhance uniformity. Have you tried that? Might be tricky on the roof though.
I always do a cross coat by actually turning the fan nozzle not tilting the gun. I sprayed business jets and certain areas have to be smooth within .003-.005” inch in front of the static ports for accuracy. Cross coats are the only way to achieve that without block sanding or buffing. On cars I still use that technique to prevent zebra striping and when I sprayed houses it was super important to eliminate zebra stripes and get the correct wet mil thickness for warranty coverage and UV durability here in the South

I used to paint in a spray booth that leaked water from the roof, it was a struggle in rainy days. What I would have given for your set up, slick work. Even Earl Scheib had a better booth with no ups and no extras at $99.95 😂😂
The only silver car I ever liked was a little shitbox small car, what made it stand out is the guy had silver tint put in the windows which matched the shade of the silver almost exactly. Looked Boss! Old guy that worked my cars showed me how to degrease an engine. spray oit down with degreaser in a stonechip gun so it foames over nice. leave it for ten minutes, then come in with the pressure washer... of course My cars are 30 and 48 years old, so much less electronics to avoid.
Great video Silvers and also Charcoals can always be tricky. Definitely the prep for silvers them metallics will find the smallest scratch to lay in. Last week did 4 silvers in a row though for sure I pissed the paint Gods off Lol. The only place was the hoods that gave me problems in the past. First pass horizontal second vertical then orientation coat. Always slow reducer a must. That’s what I found works for me on a complete. I’ve learned spray it don’t play with it just because it’s Silver. Can’t be dusting here dusting there thinking you see something you don’t. Just spray it like you say it’s only paint. So you like the Sikkens system Noble been treating me pretty good just got there Valorem system put in my shop a couple months ago. Best sealer I’ve sprayed lays down flat. Camera is also pretty good. Only problem with Noble there metallics are always to course. Always have make adjustments on formulas. Sprayed there Imperium same problem. You have that problem with Sikkens? But once again great video. Can always learn keep an open mind that’s how I feel about this Industry.
What city are you located in.
The obvious issue is labor costs. Very few cars are worth investing $20k in a paint job. But if you love your car, and you’re going to keep it for a long time, spend the money.
MUCH LOVE BRIAN!!!!!! YOU ROCK!
Awesome paintjob!! Awesome car 😎 Done a full hit on a blue one on my channel, Honda integra Type r dc5. we call it in uk 👍
Who is paying the big bucks for this work........most people are broke ................. is this an insurance Job ? thanks in advance Jay.
What is the sealer thing really?
I have a question I’m using a high gloss clear 4:1 with a slow hardener and I’ve adjuster my air down up down and every time I am spraying dry the clear is not laying even any tips to try and help me resolve this issue ? I’m using a sata 4000 thanks in advance 🙏
492k of us know how difficult that was. Well done sir.
The real question is did you wash Levi's car after you watered the grass😅
Thumbed
Spectacular job , now it looks like it was recently purchased in the dealer 👍🏿 😀 👌🏼 👏
I have a vehicle that I want to paint flat (non metallic) light sky blue. It'd be easier for me to paint it panel by panel, will that work for a non metallic paint? Also, I was planning to do it two weekends; instead of one to save on vacation time. Will it still come out looking good/ok, or should i realy just eat the vacation time and do it all in one go?
I get alot of old heads with classics always asking me how much to paint an old school car and i always quote them above 5k and they change there minds damn cheap bums 😂😂😂
When will you start advertising for keeps hair products 😂😂😂 it's only a matter of time
Nice. My Integra is silver and the advice given is top notch. I will use it when I start on my project. Thanks again.
I really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for educating those who don’t know that overall paint jobs are not easy or cheap it adds up on too many little tasks I’ll never paint a whole car again for less than 5k. I can’t do half fast job. Your paint job speaks for you.
So a silver metallic can't be sprayed in 60 to 65 ° with medium reducer?
You've learned Brian--I haven't.. 😆 And they still complain!
I have the exact same car in the exact same color: Satin Silver Metalic, and need a paint job myself.
Been watching for years now! I love seeing the Acuras
Amazing work. You have halp me out a lot on my painting. Keep up the awesome videos
Hi Brian, Been watch your video's for awhile. I'm just starting to prep my silver 68 mustang for a full repaint. I only use email for the most part and would love to ask a couple questions about prep and paint. Is there a way to send you the small list of questions other then using the comments to talk back and forth. Not sure if there is a email address that I can use. Love your video's and I would make my questions quick. Just need to check a few items. Thanks very much for any time you have.
Hit me up on IG. Paint.society
I signed up to your facebook group so that might work. Thanks much@@PaintSociety
Hey bud good job I'm a painter aswell I just painted a fairlane zc all in one go with another painter need 2 for big jobs lol I painted it with gunmetal grey from new subaru colour met pearl and dam it come out good used cromax cromma clear absolutely impressive clear coat 20:18
These kinds of results should never come cheap unless you're doing it for the wife or for your mom. I watched the video again because I remembered so much going on here. A customer who cares about having their car all one color after it's been recently repaired are rare and for the most part aren't afraid to spend the money. It would have been great to record the customer do a walk around,seeing the expression on his/her face. I'm sure the owner is more than pleased with the final results. Great video.
I restore tractors and getting in all the nooks n crannies can be a b but getting it clean is hard too some have 50 years of dirt and grease on them is important also
try having someone come at you for a respray and cut/polish for under 2k
All comes down to Prep first preparation is a must before anything you start from start to finish love your work Brian.
i wish my old e39 silver wagon got that treatment.... looks amazing.
As a new house painter for 20+ year's, prep is key.........
