At last found an English guy on TH-cam to show me how to paint and nib and polish fed up with all the Australian American videos. Wish I found you 6 months ago when I started my project. Thanks bought the polisher and menzerna
Seconded. I'm in the trade myself but more Aeroplanes, HGV & industrial so don't get to do the finer stuff like this. Will like, Sub & watch more cos it's good to support a fellow painter & there's ALWAYS something to learn even after 21 years behind the gun 😊
I have a panther black Mk6.5 Ford Fiesta ST150 with some paint imperfections I want to fix and low and behold, you're demonstrating using literally my car. Bravo, sir.
This is the definitive guide. Using this info we can take a factory orange peel to flat gloss. So many vids on here that are close, but this one cuts to the chase (pun intended!). Thanks.
Enjoying your video's just started working on 65 fastback I do have exp. but it was 25 yrs back this is helping get me back up to speed. Thank You! and all you commenters have a great NEW YEAR!!!!
It really helps to see what is possible. Having become an Expat on a small Island supplies are limited, and we are still very much solvent based. I was in the Trade for decades but not on the repair side, so these tutorials and watching you work on projects helps to increase my confidence, and my Rav4 thanks you... :)
Tony you're a star!! Great skill to watch. Thanks. I've got a de-nibbing question. I work at home and do the best I can to clean before painting and keep the garage as dust free as possible. Of course, I often end up with a lot of nibs right across my clearcoat. Usually I denib more or less one at a time, but sometimes there's too many for that to be practical (like today with a hood). I'm wondering what your best approach would be based on what I have to hand. I have hand papers up to p7000; I have 1,2 and 3000 soft back disks, and dry paper disks up to 10k. BTW I use 1K Acrylic Lacquer all the way (it's much more convenient for a home system) so it's relatively soft for up to 30 days compared to 2K. What approach would you recommend? Hand sand all spots? Whole panel? Rotary or DA sand? What grit progression. I usually finish with range of Megiars compounds and polishes and scratch removers. I really want to avoid re-flowcoating.Thanks in advance.
Brilliant video as always, working from a home booth I used to get loads of these nibs but I wet the floor now and use an electro static gun on the panels, they don't attract the stuff in the air now
@@TonysRefinishingTV I have been painting for 3 years starting with my own salvage jobs and people just started bringing me stuff to do, I now do it 6 days a week and have full resprays coming through, just done a porsche and have a BMW 850i coming in two weeks, I tell you this because I am completely U Tube taught using your videos and the Gunman, I make notes and follow them implicitly, I absolutely love painting and dont want to come home at night
I’m glad they have helped mate the issue is there’s so much to explain in this industry it becomes hard to explain over comments on here sometimes that’s all where as videos like this are easier
@@TonysRefinishingTV Hi, thanks . You know, some cars have oil paint, which means they do not use clear coat . In my country, they use oil paint for cars, especially white. Isn't that right there? Best wishes for your health
I'm not a professional Paint restorer but do like to detail my cars but find it difficult to find proper buffing/polishing pads..the ones on eBay are rubbish...can you tell me what and where i need to buy them please..I have the machine.. great videos by the way...Regards Tony
Interesting vid Tony, with all the spots that are in my finish I will be needing this tutorial, I have a coalescing filter coming today, I'll let you know how it goes.
Hi bought the polisher and compound can you tell me where you get the medium to hard head from. Think you said it was called rupes. Also the soft foam pad is that a fine one. Thanks again
I have little pointy dots, I guess they are dust nibs or the clear coat dried before to hit the panel I only noticed it on the last coat. I got about four coats of clear. Will this work if it's literally everywhere all over the bumper. If so how long do I wait before I do this
Thanks a lot for sharing these vids mister and initial spray gun setup, PMP are local to me so picked up the Awata Blue Flash a couple of days ago and got a decent job on my first attempt (mentioned ya channel). It was leaps and bounds above the cheap Sealey Gold gun I'd used only a few days ago, wish I'd bought it sooner.
Great video mate, good job showing you don't need to plaster on the compound or polish to get a great result , admittedly I can't see the detail as much of the peel vs full polish , on my screen , I have crappy resolution on my tablet lol but still get the idea of how it's done
Really good DIY tutorial here Tony! Was trying to see the difference between the two halves outside but was totally distracted by what I think is a Jaguar E-Type in the background :D
aslong as its not getting grit say land on it mate then a damp cloths more than enough really to keep the surface clean mate thats all we really use if were in the workshop polishing or anything like that
this that i used here mate was just a felt squeegee they use for applying vinyl graphics mate there ideal for this sort of thing as there flexible enough to for to a panel but firm enough to nib out dirt
Another great video mate. Can I ask, can the cutting be done with a DA or does it need to be a rotary polisher in your opinion? I have a DA already so wondering if I need to get a rotary too? Cheers and great content and info again.
You can do it with a da mate but it takes some time to find the right pad and compound combination tbh I use a rotary to cut which you can pick up for £50-60 and a da to finish it’s much quicker and better to use both that way than one or the other
Hi! I saw that you always use the rotary polisher by placing the pad only on one side ... I also tried it and it seems that the polisher is more stable ... I wanted to ask you if it is better to use it like this or it would be better to place the pad flat on the surface to be polish ...?
technically flat is better but i find a slight and i mean slight angle just helps cutting speed , it can leave swirls on dark colours but then as long as you finish with a soft foam pad and medium cut / polish your good
theres still a huge amount of the pad touching mate it doesnt show great in a video but 3/4 of the pads still on the surface but it is more abrasive yes
@@TonysRefinishingTVhey tony what kind of light you recommend to see what im doing i work on body shop im learning but not a lot of light and is hard for me to see the paint defects and getting the sand mark out
At last found an English guy on TH-cam to show me how to paint and nib and polish fed up with all the Australian American videos. Wish I found you 6 months ago when I started my project. Thanks bought the polisher and menzerna

Your welcome mate and glad they help people like yourself
Great video Tony. You have a way of making things uncomplicated and clear. No pun intended. Thanks a lot these vids really help us garage painters.
Thankyou Patrick and that’s has always been my plan to make this in a way anyone can understand as everyone is at different levels
I learned a lot there, thanks. When I cut my clearcut, It was drying up on the panel into dust. Probably going too high a speed.
Glad it helped mick

I’d go for a p2000 all over followed by 3000 then compound with rotary polisher mate
No problem at all Garry glad it helped
Brilliant video as always, working from a home booth I used to get loads of these nibs but I wet the floor now and use an electro static gun on the panels, they don't attract the stuff in the air now
That’s great mate that you’ve managed to cut down on the dirt nibs and get cleaner jobs mate

That’s awesome buddy but take it from me mate as I learnt the hard way make sure you get Plenty of rest bud too it’ll help on a lot of ways
Thanks Tony. I have learnt a lot by watching this series as suggested by you after I asked too many questions in one of your videos.
I’m glad they have helped mate the issue is there’s so much to explain in this industry it becomes hard to explain over comments on here sometimes that’s all where as videos like this are easier
What type of pad are you using for the compounding stage? Is that wool? Where do you get it?
cool video what brand of polish did you use on that fender?. Larry Broad clearlake California
Good job as always mate it also shows just how much work goes into the job
Madness the work these take tbh
Thanks for sharing Tony great job
Question aren’t you removing the total peel from the left side of the panel? And leaving some on the right side?
Yeah mate but if you are doing things in an environment no suited for paint ie diy then you have no choice most of the time but to fully flat
There's no link for the rupes polishing pad?
Great video again,what would you use to polish motorcycle fairings? Would a machine be too heavy? Thanks.
You can use a machine or you could use a mini air polisher
that was perfect . Thankful . I have a question . Do you have to do the same for oil paint?
We don’t use oil paint so I wouldn’t know I’m afraid
@@TonysRefinishingTV Hi, thanks . You know, some cars have oil paint, which means they do not use clear coat . In my country, they use oil paint for cars, especially white. Isn't that right there? Best wishes for your health
No it’s not the same here
Brilliant set of videos - thank you x
thanks Tony, very interesting, any recommendations for the sanding blocks?
Your welcome James hope it was helpfull and a good double density block is easy to find I think it’s a powertec one I use
Great work mate , would you mind sharing the pads you used and compound please
I use the rupes pads mate there 180 man
I'm not a professional Paint restorer but do like to detail my cars but find it difficult to find proper buffing/polishing pads..the ones on eBay are rubbish...can you tell me what and where i need to buy them please..I have the machine.. great videos by the way...Regards Tony
Hiya mate search on eBay for rupes polishing pads there what I use the yellow ones
Interesting vid Tony, with all the spots that are in my finish I will be needing this tutorial, I have a coalescing filter coming today, I'll let you know how it goes.
hey john yes let me know how you get on buddy keep me updated
Awesomeness as always Tony ... Very professionally executed brother ✌️
Thanks Bruce I try my best for you guys
Hi bought the polisher and compound can you tell me where you get the medium to hard head from. Think you said it was called rupes. Also the soft foam pad is that a fine one. Thanks again
try pmp mate and or ebay
Polishing at that angle will deform pad fast.Great video Tony
This pads done numerous repaint polishes already mate they last a long time as they are good quality pads
@@TonysRefinishingTV i can see cone like shape on your pads
after polishing 4-5 resprays though any pad would mate although most pads would already be completely dead by this point
Nice video bro..nice tips from you
Your welcome thanks for watching buddy

Good job Tony,keep on the fantastic work amd uploads. Davut
Thanks Davut
Excellent video once again Tony, so informative and thank you for the links you provided just ordered from pmp.... 😊😊

Awesome to hear matey and glad you got on well with it practice makes perfect
Cheers Mate ! Dead handy these vids these mate !! Thanks !!
Your welcome mate

lol thnaks man and yeah it shows up on tv or computer but i doubt it will on tablet or mobile tbh
can you show how to mix water based paints
Really good DIY tutorial here Tony! Was trying to see the difference between the two halves outside but was totally distracted by what I think is a Jaguar E-Type in the background :D
Thanks fella and haha yes it was mate
thank you simple and original easy to follow 👍👍
Your welcome
excelllent video Tony , exactly what i needed to see .
hope it helps simon
Love the video very informative well explained thank you Tony
Thanks fella great to see you here again
also use menzerna products and they are very good products
Good stuff Tony ,thank you!
My pleasure!!
Hi tony can u spray metallic paint with a LVLP gun
Yes mate
great vid i always thought u needed keep pad wet when buffing
These days mate most compounds have a social liquid base so the more you buff the more they break down to become more liquid
@@TonysRefinishingTV ive got some g3 and going too 3000s mine will this be ok dry pad
Your best with g3 premium or there new advanced I think it is mate both are there advanced liquid compounds the older
G3 is trash
Another good video :)
Between polishing stages , for diy with dirtier areas to work in , do you think it’s worth tacking off ?
personally mate id recommend a damp cloth fella if im honest just to keep the surface clean
Sound mate . I suppose dust that small wouldn’t scratch anyway .
aslong as its not getting grit say land on it mate then a damp cloths more than enough really to keep the surface clean mate thats all we really use if were in the workshop polishing or anything like that
Hi mate what kind of blocks do you use and where can you get them. Thanks
this that i used here mate was just a felt squeegee they use for applying vinyl graphics mate there ideal for this sort of thing as there flexible enough to for to a panel but firm enough to nib out dirt

good job Tony keep video's coming😀
thankyou kamil
A fella can't go wrong with Menzerna and Rupes ...

Tony's Refinishing Is it dangerous to work with the corner if the cut is larger? you risk damaging the paint?
theres still a huge amount of the pad touching mate it doesnt show great in a video but 3/4 of the pads still on the surface but it is more abrasive yes
Thanks great video !
No problem thanks for watching
Brilliant video
thanks fella
Top stuff Tone 👍
Thanks fella hope it helps
