Thanks the video. I was trained on axalta products, but started a new job that sprays solvent. Axalta has such a specific application method (wet on wet), so its definitely been an adjustment. Gonna be tackling my first blend job this week, so this video is a lifesaver lol
Awesome video buddy and thanks 🙏 for all those tips I really appreciate it keep up the good work I really enjoyed that video much love ❤️ enjoy your Sunday mate 👍👍👌👌🙏💯💯
I have used the Speedokote color blender to blend when it is still wet and had excellent results also. I was using a ready to spray base coat so I'm not sure how it would react with a reduced base coat when applied on the wet blender though. Thanks for another great video Chris!
New gun seems to be working well👍I use a lot of Speedokote products and the color blender is a decent price. I like the SMR 42 /2 to 1 clear they have. Makes 6 sprayable quarts for 159.00. I like it so much i'm going to use it on nearly every job. At about $28 a quart, it's easy enuf for me to budget into small jobs or entire car. Dries a bit slow, so I ordered the fast kit this time. I'm guessing you are using the new gun on some jobs before posting a video or review. Well, back to the garage. Job isn't going to finish itself...
Video on the new gun is coming next sunday! I have some speedcoat clear that I haven't had the opportunity to use but looking forward to sharing the experience. Appreciate the support brother!
@@GarageNoise yes sir definitely, and yeah it is , ive seen those aerosol can blenders before , but i hesitate due to fisheyes , But i do have a question , how would you paint with a heater during cold weather if your not in a paint booth , and would the heater also cause fisheyes even tho you use fisheye eleminator? I ask because i ran into that today , tho it was below 30
@@low3.657 I use a diesel heater. I will vent fumes out but leave the heater on when I spray , but this can be dangerous because of the open flame. It's a bullet style heater so the fumes don't reach the flame so I don't have a problem. Sometimes I shut it off during clearcoat. Also Infra red heaters are great for heating up panels before you paint.
@@GarageNoise yea so i do the same during basecoat, i keep it on , and shut it off during clear , the only thing i can think of is using the same used up tackcloth or too much water in the air system , even though it has a harbor frieght water catcher , i use a craftsman heater inside the booth
You don’t have too, if your prime work is finished in 600 plus, sealer is not needed, provided you didn’t break thru the prime and expose bare metal or bodywork.
Just did a small spot repair on a quarter panel using color matched spray. The blend came out terrible. When you mention tiger stripping and modelling, is that the same as a halo effect? I get that a wet bed is suppose to smooth the surface so the metallic flakes land flat. Just not sure of the differences between the three mentioned. Great videos as usual.
Thanks for the tips !. Just wondering what spray gun you used during this video ?. I have approximately 30 years in the industry . Just started using Speedy coat products because of the cost of materials. Have been very satisfied with them. Keep the tips and videos coming !. Thank you again !.
Thank's James! It's a new gun that I will reveal in next Sunday's video. Here's a clue it's manufactured by Rongpeng and sold by Vevor but it's not the R500. Appreciate the comment and support brother!
I have a question about what grit sandpaper for prepping the original clear for this repair. I have the same situation on an older Silverado we repaired the rusted wheel wells and are getting ready to blend into the rest of the box. Thank you!
Sand the blend area with 600 or 800 I use 600 but if it's a high metallic 800 would be a better less aggressive scatch. Appreciate the comment and support!
Here's a video I made on that topic. I do get trash, but these are the things I do to help minimize it. Appreciate the comment and support! th-cam.com/video/SJgy3y0wIdU/w-d-xo.html
Hey brother, question for you. When you get a pint or quart of OEM paint, can you use it without any reducers or additives of any kind or do I need to add anything to it? Thank you man!
@@GarageNoise Hello sir. When applying basecoat, it is not smooth finish and looks like a dry spray. Sometimes it also has textures. I have my fan wide open and 2 turns for the fluid around 25 psi. For clearcoat, 2.5 turn for the fluid and fan wide open with 30 psi. Anything you can suggest to have a better result? I was also using medium reducer from eastwood but planning to get slower reducer. I am also using Finish 1 Clearcoat Fc720 w/ medium hardener. Thank you so much for your time.
If you get tiger stripe make sure you fan has a good spray. Lower your air pressure depending on the gun 20-25 psi you also might need to bump up your fluid a small amount .
For a long time, I never used clear base. Or wet bed or anything of that nature, but I found it's very difficult in hot temperatures. So you're always better off to use a clear base coat, especially when you're spraying in the heat of the summer and especially when you spray high metallic finishes, it just makes it so much easier to get as a consistent metallic finish.
@@GarageNoise thanks so much 🙏 , I really like the channel , please don't stop posting , it's really a big help to me and my small repair business. Much love from sunny southern Africa
I still do what I like about isopropyl alcohol is I can use it over anything including bodyfiller before primer. Prep solvent I don't like using over filler or sanded plastic cause it soaks in.
finally someone explained what clear base is. Very nice clear explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video.. right to the point without alot of nonsense
Glad you liked it!

Tell us more about that new spray gun
Next sunday brother! Here's a clue manufactured by Rongpeng but it's not the R500
My work spraying metallics got a lot better once i switched to the Devilbiss DV1-B basecoat gun.
I'm sure that's an excellent gun
Do you blend/ soften the the sealer edge while it is still wet or after flash time of sealer?
Nice video very informative
Thank's brother!
Bro, I'm subscribed from my tv's account. Your videos always has some learning involved. Great job 👏🏾
Thanks brother!
I’ve never painted,gotta lay light blue metallic on hood and roof,should I use the color blend on entire area before base,both are fully primed
Awesome refinish as always man , great work , i am definitely going to start using the color binder , looks like it helped a ton , thanks !
I didn't alway use it but do now on most all metallics. It's just good insurance at the very least. Appreciate the comment and support brother!

So this is basically “blending additive”?
Hey brother, question for you. When you get a pint or quart of OEM paint, can you use it without any reducers or additives of any kind or do I need to add anything to it? Thank you man!
Paint needs to be reduced. Most suppliers will reduce it for you if you ask for it or you can reduce it yourself
Im still struggling a little bit with my eastwood lt100 sir. What settings would you recommend for basecoat and clear coat? Thank you in advance!
What exactly are you struggling with? Is it a flat finsh? Too much peel or dry spray and what settings are you spraying with now?
@@GarageNoise Hello sir. When applying basecoat, it is not smooth finish and looks like a dry spray. Sometimes it also has textures. I have my fan wide open and 2 turns for the fluid around 25 psi. For clearcoat, 2.5 turn for the fluid and fan wide open with 30 psi. Anything you can suggest to have a better result? I was also using medium reducer from eastwood but planning to get slower reducer. I am also using Finish 1 Clearcoat Fc720 w/ medium hardener. Thank you so much for your time.
Try to reduce your basecoat a little bit more. Make sure gun is clean. & spray nice wet even coats around 25psi. Good luck. @jmsxmedia1364
What air pressure you recommend I'm having issues with tiger stripes on fenders I'm painting could I change directions when I'm spraying
If you get tiger stripe make sure you fan has a good spray. Lower your air pressure depending on the gun 20-25 psi you also might need to bump up your fluid a small amount .
@Garage Noise I was using the eastwood lt100 for the base recommended setting you would try on it?
@@2koolforyou88 fan wide open , psi I like about 24 for base fluid 2.5 -3 turns out from closed.
@@GarageNoise appreciate it
Did you sand the other door and fender b4 you used binder
Yes, blend panels were sanded with 600. Appreciate your comment and support!
@GarageNoise if I don't have any blender to use how do I use the reducer
@@terryhall5811 the reducer is used in th paint and blender. DON'T use it by itself to blend base coat. Is that what your asking?
@@GarageNoise I used reducer to blend my clear cause I didn't have any blender.
@@terryhall5811 ok, yes I do that as well sometimes.
Great brother ❤️ what is your contry?
United States, appreciate the support!
Great Video as always! Was wondering if you replied to emails? I have a couple questions about a project that I want to start
Yes, garagenoise247@gmail.com
@@GarageNoise thanks so much!
Do you need activator for this blender?
No, you can reduce it 10 %
@@GarageNoise 👍
What clear coat did you use?

Is it possible to not use blending clear base
For a long time, I never used clear base. Or wet bed or anything of that nature, but I found it's very difficult in hot temperatures.

😢 No Blend video
🤔I've got a few different blend video's.
Is American blending different to Australian blending, if not, i'll be damned if i can see what you blending, you painting the whole side of a car.
Better if they didn't pre reduce it, huge difference between 50° and 100°f, that's asking a little too much of a universal product.
They have stuff that is not premixed. I also use it as intercoat. Works great.
I'd see a doctor about that Bed Wetting! 🙀
I know right, we're you looking for bed wetting issues a got this video. Lol
How come you don't use prepsolvent. I used it for years with no problem but I see you use alcohol. Why alcohol
I still do what I like about isopropyl alcohol is I can use it over anything including bodyfiller before primer. Prep solvent I don't like using over filler or sanded plastic cause it soaks in.
@@GarageNoise do you find 70% alcohol provides the same results, as a substitution for wax and grease remover? I’ve never seen a body guy using it.
