- The Camaro is painted Gloss Black and in this episode Kevin Tetz teaches you how to color sand and buff your paint job to make it look perfect. You may think it looks good with fresh paint, but once you see it buffed, you'll see how great it can look. All on episode 15 of the web series Hands-On Cars.

He buffs the front and rear bumpers of his 1978 Z/28 Camaro, which have a lot of bends, curves and shapes - so you'll learn all the tricks you need to know to buff your car and make it look great. He starts by using Eastwood sand paper to remove imperfections in the clear. he then moves on to 3M Trizact Paper to remove any fine scratches caused by the sand paper. And remember not to sand those peaked edges - it's too easy to cut through your clear. Also, don't forget to soak your sand paper in water and soap to make it last. And keep your area wet when you're sanding.
KT uses the Eastwood Buffer Polisher that has a slow start and variable speed to buff the large areas. He then moves on to a small 3" Eastwood Buffer. He has multiple buffing pads for each - starting with a coarse wool pad and moving to a soft foam pad. He uses the Norton Liquid Ice System to buff it perfect.
Before the episode is over he visits the AACA Museum in Hershey Pennsylvania - Chocolate Town - to see the awesome display of antique Indian motorcycles. Some motorcycles are over 100 years old - including one with "skis" on each side for riding in the snow. Plus a "buckboard" type vehicle that was basically a go-cart and was considered street legal at the time.
Tetz has almost transformed his beat up 78 Z into a Pro-Touring Machine! Check out all the past episodes to see how he got to this point.
Kevin is definitely an Eastwood Guy. Are You?
i started painting back in early 80s when bodytechnique was different and when you painted a car it was acrlic enamel or enamel and once finished you were finished .... the finish was all in the painter and how he set his gun while painting and the pre prep of the paint before it went in the gun to ensue it was mixed right and would flash right ... base clear is easier but it has sprung a world of sanders relying on paper rather than technique for finish after all you are aplying the clear coat or the shinny finish over thinner with pigment ..technique counts so you dont go over and wetsand and color match .... and put the car together for finish paint all the under should be painted first then assemble then paint door jams then body all together .. ensures a all over fit and complete match of everything ..
Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss an episode! The camaro will soon be finished and the next episodes will cover wiring, lights, interior & drivetrain.
Kevin's an Eastwood Guy...Are You? - Eastwood - Since 1978.
its the power of acctually taking the time to sand down to 3000 grit
Love it , Good job.
pros @ work
Kevin's the best, I'm real glad you guys have put these videos up at this time. I've been doing body work, paint, and now at this stage, and all of the videos have come out at about the time I'm doing the work.
GREAT help, and EXCELLENT info... thanks!
I've learned so much about painting from the guys at EastWood thank you for the videos GREAT JOB
Thanks for all the tips. I plan on painting my 65 beetle. Wish me luck.
So should you always sand clearcoat.
I Appreciate the free experience. Thanks Kevin. Eastwood do the job right 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
16:01 that's a big dip in the urathane front clip......
Ooooooooô should have been filled with Eastwood contour premium body filler 😁
Yup!
These videos have taken 90% of the guess work out of everything ive done from the start on my Chevelle, my dream car since i was a single digit age, ive followed all the videos with as ive worked with huge success, thanks Eastwood ill be visiting your store in Alsip IL soon
What was the 90% guess work if you don't mind ? and what year chevelle ?
This guy teaching u as honest as he can... even when it come to common sense he still remind u about that... a very good job...
Subbed man I love every video I've seen you do thank you for guiding me on my journey of learning this beautiful trade
Great video! And I'll have to get they buffing kut from Eastwood!!
Bah!!! Kevin, where have you been all my life?! If I'd watched this first, I could have avoided like 20 mistakes! :(
Wow looks scary.
Thank you for all of your awesome work and videos.
Hopefully I'll get the courage to get this done. Lol
You can do it!
👍👍👍You are clearly a high grade professional. Never skip a step. Your work is amazing. Thanks for all the tips. 👍👍👍
I have zero luck with wet sanding and buffing. No matter what product I use or what pad and buffing compound I only end up with a hazy look at best. Tried wool pads, foam, different compounds and on and on. I'll buff a hood fifty times to no avail. I've watched a hundred videos and follow things to the tee . I've basically given up
Just want to say thank you for the great content.I know this video is old but damn, you go into so much detail that you could watch this 10 yrs from now and still get some good info.
Camel toe!!! :D
lmfao @ 24:10 "now here's a beauty, a 1906 Indian Camelback....not Cameltoe, Camelback"
Like your attention. Maybe next time the video on how to repair when a spider walks out of the engine compartment and walks Across the hood for 3 in before dieing there.
also how long before you wax?also how long do you wait before color sanding and buffing? thanks
lol "camel back, not camel toe" - kevin I love your thinkking hahaha I would hire you any day.
Nice job !! How many days did you wait for the clearcoat to cure before buffing ? Thanks
He didn't prime the pad though, only mistake I've seen
Keep up the great work and thanks heaps for the videos, so much better than the crappy Q&Ls you see on MTV, I actually get a lot out of them.
Shouldn’t you have spurred the wool pads first before using them ??
How many clear wet coats should you do on a multiple curvature piece like this as to not go through it to the base coat when cutting?
Wow, 2 bad puns back to back. This guy Dads...
tape your edges before buffing. It will save you.
Hey. Kevin. Ron here in Boston. was wondering can you recomand. anyone who can help me.with my Toyota truck 1987
Hey Joy... if you actually have an 87 Toyota in Boston that isn't already a coke can then please how can I help ..I'm just blown away you have an 87 Toyota truck ...
I love all of your videos makes me want to start on my car so bad.
First I've heard of this 3M Tizac thing; looks fantastic. I look forward to picking some up.
check out my latest video on my page. I go over the whole process.
What I hate the most is how I do exactly the same procedure with the cut and buff step and I end up with a bunch of scratches, new scratches that were not in the paint initially. I recently painted the roof of my vehicle in black. I waited a week for the paint to cure completely before sanding & buffing. I wet sand with 1000, 1500, 2000 grit and finished off with 3000 wet on a DA, came out looking amazing! I'm thinking, after I buff, the paint will look extraordinary. I used the 3M Rubbing Compound 05973 with a McGuire's maroon cutting foam pad. What a horrible mistake that was. I was left with a bunch of scratches. I wanted to blow up the car into pieces. The more I buffed, more scratches. I feel like re-clearing the whole damn roof again. Is it possible to fix the horrific disaster of scratches left after buffing using the Norton system?
16:03 you have a large dent in driver side headlight of the facia
Eenie Meenie Minie Moe...I wonder where my thumb will go
I always block wet sand, to prevent uneven pressure. Blocking helps to keep even pressure and keeps everything smooth. Which I know you mentioned don't use your hands to sand with out blocking.
Can you buff basecoat with no clear coat?
Question!!! So I bought the liquid ice 3 step buffing kit and I purchased the eastwood random orbital polisher. The only thing is it's a 5/16 not a 5/8 like the backing plate provided. So I purchased a 5/16 to 5/8 adapter for the backing plate. Is that ok to do or should I return it and get one with a 5/8 fitting?
Have a fancy car and go to show off and smash it.
Can you paint base over clear??
Kenneth Reinard yes. Just scuff it with a scotch bright pad.
question: I like that little air buffer setup...I have a 30 gallon 5 hp craftman air compressor will it be able to keep up using that unit..and what exactly is it? Just an angle grinder...excuse my ignorance I use mostly electric power tools..thanks
Where do I buy the liquid-Ice and pads from?

I just got done clear coating my car but I have areas that came out ruff should I wet sand & then reclear coat, buff &polish? Or just wetsand, buff & polish what I have? Thanks for your help & continue the awesome content!
What importance does the buffers speed setting play while working a surface? Does a high RPM of 1400 do anything that 600 will not tackle or is it all about saving time and being more efficient? Many thanks, you helped preserve my car!
6:12 Kevin do you recommend masking the edges off with tape or would that be to risky on a fresh paint job?
I was kind of surprised to see he didn't use a soft block instead of his hand and fingers.
This was informative and bad ass
All this on METAL, fiberglass.....
Also works exactly like this when trying to get a piano finish on a piece of furniture.
Excellent video as all of them are. In the previous one where you shot the base/color coat, you are saying that you don't need to color sand after that step? I assume if you create some texture/orange peel, then you would. I will be using Eastwood single stage urethane as the base fyi.
Great job explaining and providing professional experience. You must do stand up comedy on the side?
I have a Goldwing that has a one step paint and clear paint job, apparently that is how they do it now, would it be safe to sand and buff my paint considering that it was painted in this manner. again the paint and clear is done in one step.Thanks.
So very nice
One of the most enjoyable video to watch. Now i know what to look for while doing MY black car. Thanks.
Skip to 0:37 to skip the intro bs
Awesome video
Please for the love of paint jobs stop looking at the camera while you're sanding
what would you recommend for a brand new vehicle, as far as buffing? I recently purchased one and it has a lot of orange peel as well.
About to start pain work for the first time and these videos are fantastic. Period. Thank you for posting these!
good job kevin i think im going to start painting my motorcycle,,,,, thanks
guys a real jokster huh
Learning a lot watching Kevin's videos thanks Kevin great job
you should not use soap with the trizap paper, it will throw of the cutting ability
I'd use a soft sponge instead of relying strictly on my hand.
is eastwood products available in asia?like in the philippines?
I was mesmerized by the shine pulling through
Wait! Question!!
You mean to tell me, you used the same buffing compound, but different buffing pads.
Gee whiz I'm an idiot!! I was alway told to use different compounds with different pads, and if it was that easy , you have a costumer!!
John DZ when you're last sand is 3000 they don't need aggressive compound...he wet sanded to hell out of that car.I used to buff boats and the real badly oxidized ones I would sand with 600-then 1000 then hit with heavy duty compound and wool...then medium and wool... some I would then hit with foam and fine then wax...but again if I would have finished off with 3000 I would just use fine compound like Kevin did and switch pads...both methods are correct...
Do you guys do business/would you paint a car if it was sent to you?
Would it be beneficial to just buff and skip the sanding? Also, if there's a little dust stuck in the clear, what's the best way to correct that?
Thanks! (56 Chevy 210)
As you sand and then buff you are removing any imperfections, which is why you start with a more aggressive sand paper and work to finer. Each step removes the imperfections left by the previous sandpaper. Same with buffing. It should be the final step and remove everything else. Here's a 3 part series from Kevin Tetz on Clear Coat repair: th-cam.com/video/YxnaAFzvq2M/w-d-xo.html
Excellent tutorial, Kevin. Thanks!
… what is the square metal frame setup technically called, that he is using to hold the front clip with. It has wheels and appears to have the adjustable sections to enable connecting the front section to this frame setup. I see him using it holding doors, hoods, etc. . Where would on purchase one of these ?
You can check Eastwood for Auto Twirlers and Auto Carts. For some components, you may have to try a company that distributes to body and paint shops.
How do you handle spots where you might have sanded through the clear? Do you have to sand all the clear off and put another layer of base so that it has the same color and no sanded area or just sand all the clear or...?
Thanks for the video.
+amtpdb1 Generally, this is what we would suggest: Sand the panel with 800 grit and a grey scuff pad until there is no gloss. Spray the color / basecoat on the area where the clear was sanded-through. Finally, clear coat the entire panel.
hi I am Qaiser jaan from pakistan now italia I like your job End beutifull your shop
Thanks
Yas Master Yoda. Me two. Nu Yorke frum I am. Flori'dum now I em. Buff jobs I do like. Scraping teeth I do not .Fiff grayd I dropped out. AB3's End 12C's I donet lick.

Why doesnt eastwood ship to Eu?
You used to use a squirt bottle.

Jackie's a punk
Big indent on the top of bumper
really big and the whole bumper is wavy , hah
Kevs legit
how many days i have to wait to buff my car after i painted?
We generally suggest 3 days, but some people will do it sooner. Make sure you read all the info on the paint you're spraying.
+Eastwood Company thanks
when will ep 16 be up?
+THEuNkNoWnBeAsT34 3rd Saturday of each month...so the next episode will be September 19.
+Eastwood Company cool I've enjoyed watching this camaro transform
amazing finish on that car
Congratulations 🙏👍🎖🎖😱 excelente Job my friend 🇨🇴🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽
Why do you guys always put soap and use a bucket, You dont want soap it blocks the papers stops it being efficent trust me try it, also dont use a bucket use a pressure bottle so your not dumping crap your sanding back into the bucket.
Use warm water, let the paper soak for 30mins, use a pressure bottle
Hahahaha wtf, are you 12!! piss off back to touching yourself
Clearly another sheep
im 22 an learning to paint lol, look at your vids then his.. whos winning? stfu with your bum ass half ass videos
Hahaha right little boy, He has a flim crew I do my video's in between fliming.
You'll learn very fast there's more then one way to skin a cat, you clearly have no clue or understandment of products or process. When you have your own business endorsed by the biggest companies in this game and can build cars from nothing plus do all your own media then come back to me.
why would i come back to your broke ass, how you telling him ways to do shit lol, YOUR THE ONE WATCHING HIS videos clown take your own advice lol. you must need some help yourself (;
Broke ass broke ass hahahaha, look just cos daddy touched you dont take it out on others lmfao, and i didnt say come back to my video you fucking knobhead I said come back when you've taken your training wheels off cos your just a very little fish in a big pond trying to be a big boy over the net lmfao you've already lost at life
You should seriously think about wearing some type of eye protection when using high speed equipment like buffers.
DON’T FORGET TO PRIME YOUR BUFFING PADS!!!
wetsanding=making paint weaker...since your removing coats....not worth the risk down the line when you want that paint to last years
Even if your trying to smooth out the clear it is getter to use a DA sander especially with 3000 grit paper does a better job, and a lot faster ;)
