    Also only use 2K clear on your gas tank, otherwise you will get a nasty surprise if you ever spill gas on it with regular clear, it will just melt. 2K is a must.

    • @dongotti6802
      @dongotti6802 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      What if you use the 1k one that’s the same protection like the 2k but it’s just 1k ?

      @@dongotti6802 Nono! If you want to use it for something that's going to have gas near it, don't use 1k "It won't do" 1k and 2k stands for 1 component and 2 component clear coat. Meaning one has a hardening component and clear coat (2k) while 1k just have clear coat. 1k works for stuff that you're going to have inside or something that doesn't need to be durable. Also note as he stated in the video, 2k spay cans have a time period when you can use it before it has hardened IN the can.

    • @836dmar
      @836dmar ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Sellers who claim a 1k paint that offers the “same” protection as 2k or catalyzed paint is marketing/lying to reach the masses. There are those who think there must be a money saving hack hidden by the greedy paint companies BUT wise people learn from others mistakes.

    • @bruceski1923
      @bruceski1923 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So 2k for gas tank and 1k for everything else should be fine right?

    I really appreciate how you tell us WHAT GRIT you are using every time and how much time you are waiting between coats of either puddy or paint. You would be surprised to see how many videos they are sloppy about this, and we end up not knowing what the heck they did. Thank you.

    I'm working on my first bike build and I've been studying painting and I have to say your video is by far the best and most detailed explanation of how to do it right that I've seen. Most people won't realize how much time it takes to set up and shoot all the different angles, review the footage and edit the videos. So thank you! As a newbie it's incredibly helpful and although I'm sure I'll make plenty of mistakes along the way, this video is a perfect step by step guide for me to tackle one of the more challenging parts to a bike build. Kudos man! 👍✌

    Thank you for the excellent video! I'm 69 and build high performance motorcycles, also repair and restore. However, I can't paint worth a shit. I really enjoyed your video and hope I can repeat what you have shown all of us. My present mess is a 1976 Yamaha RD400. I just fired up the motor with an auxiliary gas tank and it's going to be a drag bike. So hopefully I can paint the fiberglass body kit and not be embarrassed. As most of us know, it's the motor that takes you over the finish line, but it's just not the same when you have a shity paint job! Again, thank you for your video. Maybe an old dog can learn new tricks. 🤬

  • @ticosandoval
    @ticosandoval 3 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Nice Tutorial. Pretty much summed up the process I do with rattle can paint projects... the only difference is I tend to lay down the clear as soon as it flashes for a good chemical bond. However, if I'm doing graphics or stripes or any multi-color projects (where you have to tape off and paint various colors in stages) often the first colors of paint has already cured so you shouldn't really apply the clear right away...in those cases, I do a final wet sand (1200 grit) before I use 2K clear over the whole project. Comes out great!

    Hi Taylor, you should get a stopper rubber, in my day we used stopper over sanded bondo, it stopped the paint from sinking into the bondo and being able to see the repair. The stopper rubber was/is a great bit of kit, did i mention that i was a time served paint sprayer, now retired. I always finished the sanding down with 800, and always applied 3 coats at a time , 3 times, sanding down after every 3 coats. I miss spraying bikes and cars, I really loved doing it, and the end result was amazing for me. I had a great teacher/journey man. And like you said.......the secret is in the preparation!!! Great video Taylor. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧🎄

    Everything was pretty good budget paint job BUT spot putty is definitely not made to be used in that way. Just a heads up for anyone attempting this. You need to use a proper 2 part glaze or body filler for low spots or waves. Keep the spot putty for chips or tiny scratches and that’s about it

    ps - I liked how you explained how to find color codes as well. Smart.

    Tip, hang the gas tank to the ceiling (garage opener) by the tank rear mounting hole so dust and overspray won’t kick up. The paint can that you used and 2k nozzle can be turned to spray in a horizontal fan to spray the gas tank in an up and down motion when it is hung. 2K clear is self leveling, lay it on medium to wet and only wait 8min in between coats. A little runs will heal itself after an hour.

I might be getting ambitious for my first time...I'm trying to do a stock style paint job on 1964 Triumph 650 tank.
