Thank you for sharing! Especially the body filler technique and the fact that you shared your knowledge of sand paper grit size by doubling it at each stage. Love it! Thanks you!
I use a NIB file, or use a single edge razor blade and wrap a bit of tape around each side leaving only a small spot in the middle of the blade exposed.
This is a great video for novice painters. I had my Jeep painted my a so called pro and I have so many runs in my paint and now its up to me to fix it. I appreciate you kind sir.
I can tell when the seasons change. In the summer I have to hammer it on. 110 degrees with 90 percent humidity. When it starts cooling off I'll start getting runs. Have to dial it back and go to smaller tips. When its really cold 40 50 it'll look OK then when you make it back around for the next pass 20 30 mins later it start running. Take it easy in the winter and do a thin tack coat. And I'll use a heating pad to heat the paint and hardners on
Hello, I learned a lot about this videos. Its great how you explaine things about spray painting. In the past i made a lot of mistakes, but now thanks to the videos i feel more confident in painting stuff on my car. A great channel, Big thanks from germany
Great tip and video! I didn't know that I'm almost finish collision repair school at Lincoln tech and you just showed me something I haven't learn! Thanks keep on teaching!
Well thank you so much for explaining this properly, i had major runs on one side because that side of my trunk lit had been sitting in the sun,so today i spend a couple of hours applying putty and sanding it down with 320 wet,and it's almost entirely gone,just need to finish off tomorrow with the 320 untill it's completely flat and then starting to work my way up in sandpaper to remove the scratches and then safe some money to buy a polisher and some buffing compound.So big thanks again, it's my very first paint job at home and the results are quite amazing,i'm doing all this with a lvlp gun, and i can highly advise this type of gun for anyone starting out.👍✌️👉
While the clear is wet, lay a piece of tape on the run, run your finger over the tape where the run is then pull the tape off, wait for the clear to flash some. Put some more clear on then the next day all you have to do is cut it a little and buff. Good as new 👌
Forgot about residue on the substrate. Sometimes it's inevitable. Humidity plays a big part in runs as well. I'm spraying right now at work. Industrial painting, no "paint bay" or climate/humidity control in oily greasing beams of steel. It happens.
What about fixing a run from paint ,not clear coat! I tried to fix it with 1500 sand paper and polishing afterwards but the colour fade into a darker patchy shade.
Ever considered using a small hand held drill with a detail sanding tip. Something like a Dremel. Seems that this might be a faster way to remove dried runs.
if i am using the sandpaper wrapped around wooden mixing stick method, what sandpaper grit should i use? i was thinking about using 1000 or 1500 or 2000 but i have no idea. Should i use multiple grits? also if i then re clear the panel, will i have to sand the whole panel or that is not necessary
probalbly late but i got runs on the primer, just to wet sand it a little? also when putting decals on a motorcyle fuel tank, , is it better to put them on the metallic paint or a layer of clear or two, then let it dry and then put two more layers of clear over the decals?
Thanks I watch the video, But was hoping someone had a video showing a hood masked off in several area showing how a poorly set up gun ie fan pattern effect orange peel with the combination of psi from a low 26 psi to know higher psi which eliminates the orange peel... I keep hearing clear coat should be sprayed at 29 psi with HVLP, I like to know what psi should be use with HVLP gun. Can you make a video with different psi setting ie 26, 29, 35, 40, 50 psi masked off on a test panel and show the effect of low and high psi
I repainted my car about a month ago now and I've got some runs in it and dirt so now I need a wet sand it and buff it. Any advice on what grit to use on the runs?
hey, got an issue, after i got my car back from the paint shop, there had been some white flaky stuff inbetween the door jams. Wiping off with water does not remove it any help for this?
My situation is that I hand painted several rock chip about 3-5 milliliters big and I had the touch up paint go pass the chip area about 3-5 millimeters more because of using a wrong size of a brush. I was trying to sand it with 3000 grid and its not coming out. Its already flat by wet sanding, but its darker than the original paint. It looks like a round dark spot and its not going anywhere. How can I fix it. Thanks
Tungsten blocks have come along way bro...not just your standard square ones anymore. I swear by them. especially the cheaper CRS brand ones. Those and a razor blade with the corners taped up are my go to methods. Cheers mate. Edit. I do understand you are making these videos for peeps who may just have basic tools. But tungsten is the bomb.
Hi can you tell me how do I get runs out of single stage colourthane top coat, I painted a hard lid for my sons ute and a few runs down the curved sides 😩
How long do you have to wait for the clear coat to dry before you can begin to remove the run? I’ve read that a week to fully cure and harden, then also I’ve read that clear coat is not like paint and it can be fully cured and hardened in 20 minutes?
I have runs in my paintjob but I believe they come from the paint itself. Can u use the same method to get them out? (And most likely will have to repaint it) or is their no way. I also have "fish eye" and "orange peel" problems
Paint runs probably isn't the paint. You could be over thinning it. But the paint can't run unless to much product is applied. Fish eye is because the surface is contaminated with oils or silicones or something. Use wax and grease remover and wipe down the piece before primer or if no primer before painting. You'd be surprised how much dirt is on something that looks clean. That will help with a smooth finish as well. Use a paint strainer and filter your paint. Orange peel is to much pressure not enough paint. To much air pressure in general or to much paint not enough pressure. And to far away from the panel. Good rule of thumb is 7 inches back 7 inch fan. Thumb and pinky like youd making using them as a fake phone and use that distance from you to the panel and that distance as the size of your fan. Your first coat. Spray a light tack coat. It can be semi transparent. You want to give the first medium wet coat something to bite to. 5 to 10 mins is enough time in the summer. 15 to 20 in cooler months between coats. And if your using a spray gun. Add a little thinner to your paint. It'll help it flow and gloss. You don't need as much in summer as the paint thins from heat. But always add a little bit. Horizonsl panels use 50-60 percent over lap. Flat panels 75-80 percent overlap. Most hvlp guns use about 2 bar 29psi some more or less depending on my factors. Some guns run on 18 or 22 psi. Lvlp guns. I've seen some hvlp guns that were actually lvlp guns
@@treavoncooper3799 no problem next go around you'll be in better position. Feel free to ask me any questions if I can help I will. Or if you need a decent gun without breaking the bank. The harbor freight purple gun I see so many use isn't even qualified to be a primer gun. The 827 series it's modeled after is horrible.
I send my car to change color.. unfortunately they done a terrible job. There is a few sport running paint. The best part is they said ofcoz we not gonna get the same Color as we choose. Such a terrible experience.
When americans mention grit, do they mean CAMI grit like documented here ? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandpaper#Grit_size_table So its actually 320G is close to P400 and P500 paper ?
Thank you for sharing! Especially the body filler technique and the fact that you shared your knowledge of sand paper grit size by doubling it at each stage. Love it! Thanks you!
I use a NIB file, or use a single edge razor blade and wrap a bit of tape around each side leaving only a small spot in the middle of the blade exposed.
Thanks you for this tip, I restore vintage furniture, and tried this and it worked great
I PUT MASKING TAPE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE RUN THEN SHAVE IT WITH A SINGLE EDGE BLADE. AND USE THE 3M WET SANDING BLOCK KIT
This is a great video for novice painters. I had my Jeep painted my a so called pro and I have so many runs in my paint and now its up to me to fix it. I appreciate you kind sir.
I don't often get a run in my paint but if I do I use a hair dryer to push the run to the egde and get rid of it that way ;-)
temperature can also affect whether you get runs or not since paint doesnt dry in the cold as fast
Correct, and I’d hope any painter would know that >.
I can tell when the seasons change. In the summer I have to hammer it on. 110 degrees with 90 percent humidity. When it starts cooling off I'll start getting runs.

Hello,
I learned a lot about this videos. Its great how you explaine things about spray painting. In the past i made a lot of mistakes, but now thanks to the videos i feel more confident in painting stuff on my car. A great channel, Big thanks from germany
don't spray paint if it's too windy..
If you can't wait get closer to the panel but move quickly with it. Much easier to do this with a spray gun then can.
That’s why I searched for this video😅😂
i had forgotten how good your tutorials are...
excellant demo, very clever, patience a must when doing this, most helpful
This is very helpful even for spraying small items.
Paint guru has many solutions for the dread paint run! I will try them out to solve my dread paint run. Thank you sir!
Great tip and video! I didn't know that I'm almost finish collision repair school at Lincoln tech and you just showed me something I haven't learn! Thanks keep on teaching!
excellent video mate....definitely the sanding gets the job done perfect. thanks for making this video so detail...keep it up mate

What about fixing a run from paint ,not clear coat! I tried to fix it with 1500 sand paper and polishing afterwards but the colour fade into a darker patchy shade.
I think base coat is matte so if you havent layer clear yet then just sand it to make it even and spray a coat of base again?
You sir have taught me a lot you are indeed a great teacher thank you so much
Ever considered using a small hand held drill with a detail sanding tip. Something like a Dremel. Seems that this might be a faster way to remove dried runs.
Very clever thanks! One question.. what's the benefit of using plastic filler?

Well Done Dave Great Video
What if the run is from the paint and not the clear coat
Mad Matt Drummer it’s hard to run basecoat, all you need to do is sand that run out then spray the area you sanded
You forgot one other way that i learned from Allkandy you can mark it with a magic marker as a guide coat.
I have a medium to small sized run I cant get the wave out doing this, I'm certain I did good body work any suggestion?
Hello i jist wanted to ask, can you paint it with clear coat after you sand it?
if i am using the sandpaper wrapped around wooden mixing stick method, what sandpaper grit should i use? i was thinking about using 1000 or 1500 or 2000 but i have no idea. Should i use multiple grits? also if i then re clear the panel, will i have to sand the whole panel or that is not necessary
Hello dear, Kindly tell me the types of polisher used in order
The video you painted the candy fender. What did you use to separate he colors. Some type of black tape maybe? I asked in that vid too.

You should make a video on a test hood showing how psi effects and reducer temp effects Orange peel

Thank you very very much for your videos, but pls buy a mic
I can hear him just fine
Did you mix the fine body filler with hardener and let it dry ? what kind of foam pad did you use?
I repainted my car about a month ago now and I've got some runs in it and dirt so now I need a wet sand it and buff it. Any advice on what grit to use on the runs?
Hi, will this also work when you have a run on the paint itself not clear coat? Nice vid by the way.
can you make a vídeo about how to polish? thanks
jose andres giron There's an old old old video they did on polishing
Great tutorial. Made a subscriber. Thank you.
sensei...thanks for the guide..help me alot
T Y I have a truck tailgate to do- 2 runs-- poor lighting & the mix- thanks again
Good video like the filler trick bit risky for me lol I use a mirka shark blade works treat on uhs and HS clear
Hi， is this paint run from clearcoat? what should I do if during the paint, I found the paint run before clearcoat process. Thanks
I sprayed a desk top and I can see the lines where I sprayed after 3 coats. It's drying funny or something. How can I fix it?
SPRAY MY TRUCK!!!!! LOL GREAT VIDEO BROTHER!!!
I like the fact that he had to TRY to get a run, the guy is so good that he had to deliberately engineer the run.
I'm so good, I can get a run with my eyes closed lol
How about a run in the paint...not clear coat
Excellent content, as always.
Thanks fer yer time.
hey, got an issue,
after i got my car back from the paint shop, there had been some white flaky stuff inbetween the door jams. Wiping off with water does not remove it
any help for this?
Flaky ? Is it ur clear?
@@franciscomunoz3333 that would be buffing compound
Use thinner, it will usually take out whatever is on in the panel
Ryan Williams he never replied so there's no telling if its sunburn or compound well hope it was compound lol
Awesome video ! What do you do if you get a run in your base coat ?
Jeff G let it dry. Then sand with 800g wet. Scuff the rest of the panel. Clean and apply more base coat
Thank you for answering my question so quickly and you're awesome and I love your channel .

Try 2000 then 3000 and buff as far as the color match touch up never matches perfectly

I was the king at getting runs, I found you can round off the corners of a new razor blade using some 600 wet/dry paper to scrape away runs
Hi can you tell me how do I get runs out of single stage colourthane top coat, I painted a hard lid for my sons ute and a few runs down the curved sides 😩
Billy Montgomery you can try sand them and buff them out but your better off sanding them out and re spraying the part.
how long after spraying the clear and get a run are you safe to apply the filler?
your a great guy, subscribed and very good videos i would love to learn how to spray paint like this
How long do you have to wait for the clear coat to dry before you can begin to remove the run? I’ve read that a week to fully cure and harden, then also I’ve read that clear coat is not like paint and it can be fully cured and hardened in 20 minutes?
You found the answer?
Put "pepto bismol" in your gun and spray to get rid of runs. 👍
Great job again! Nice vid!
What was the stuff that you used with the softer pad after the compound?
Foti Karatasakis swirl remover. That was Gelson T57 for dark colours. Great stuff.
customspraymods thanks. Great videos btw!
What compounds and pads do you use?
good video, thanks! istead of using bodyfiller you could use some masking tape as well to avoid sanding the area you dont want to sand right?
Matthieu Libeert that may work. Sometimes you may have more than one run but a whole line of runs. Using tape might take forever to mask.
Tape doesn't work well. Gums up the sand paper.
Great video wud u use body filler on any run or just small ones
3re koats kustoms anything even big ones.
Dont use regular body filler... too hard to sand. Use a 2 part glazing/body putty. Much less effort
I have runs in my paintjob but I believe they come from the paint itself. Can u use the same method to get them out? (And most likely will have to repaint it) or is their no way. I also have "fish eye" and "orange peel" problems

This may be a dumb question but are these processes the same for runs in your base coat?
lance baker no they are not. Just sand the basecoat till the run is out and spray more basecoat being sure to cover the sanded area.
may i ask if i going to use masking tape to tape around the run before start sanding the run，will they work as well as using filler？
MiChAeL 黄勤振 that can work but when you sand it the tape will go all funny.
customspraymods will wet sanding may no
cause the tape
to ruim it？
You can try it. But it also happens when wet sanding.
What if its small scratches.. When you accidentally stick something to the paint that you didnt mean to do it..? That causes small looking cuts?
Sweet Project Cars and ChrisFix cover that on their channel
I tried the crap load of clear and it made multiple runs. What could I do next
for sanding with filler do you have to wait until the paint is dry and cured?
Risk Romer yes I would imagine. Or your gonna have all sorts of problems.
a group of big runs in the basecoat can be fixed with 600-800 grit wet then compound? ?????
1986Caprice 5.0 sand not then spray the base again.

Thanks. I've painted for a while I just wanted to compare strategy. I also give you a SUB.
customspraymods great vid again and learnt lots as usual
Great job and very helpful!!!
i spray painted my car and theres runs in the base coat should i sand before applying clear coat
Bruce Le best sand then apply another 2 coats of base.
can anyone help me with a answer can you spray Clear over wet sanded base coat ? because when you wet sand the base coat it's looks dull
Robert Garcia you should spray another coat of base if you wet sand it. Then clear coat.
Thank you for these tips! Awesome!
Hey does this wrong on single stage metallic paint
While it is wet use masking tape sticky side touch lightly
Lol “sand without touching the area around the run” > sands the entire side of the panel. Lmao
Well you do have to fether it out, can't just sand one spot and polish it afterwards, it will leave a indentation
is it necessary to use bondo?
Wow good job bro
When americans mention grit, do they mean CAMI grit like documented here ? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandpaper#Grit_size_table
So its actually 320G is close to P400 and P500 paper ?
The filler and sand it down is a good method yet might take awhile .
Did stevie wonder paint these?
THANK YOU FOR THE TIPS.
When you need to sand the run off instead of using filler couldn’t you just use painters tape?
Strips on either side not over it
6:07 How is gravity your friend if it caused the runs in the first place :)@
RaytjeKn flip it over if you can.
I have the runs too but I have a suspicion that burrito from last night caused it.
Excellent 👍
