That is a fish eye from contamination. You can let it dry then sand the fish eye out and respray that area. Do a little mist first coat let it set and then go 2-3 heavier coats to get good coverage. Make sure to use a good wax and grease remover before you paint it. Also, tack it well before you paint it. You can also use fish eye eliminator in your paint mix to help eliminate those fish eyes. Make sure you don't have any moisture in your lines too! empty out your traps and compressor a day before painting and use a new filter on your gun before each full paint job! I do not know what hardware you re using but keep it all good and clean too wash out your guns with acetone and spray air thru them to clean them out good to make sure no solvents are polluting your paint. There are some solutions to try and check! Good luck!
Always strain your paint when pouring into your gun. Also, before you spray, wipe the whole car with wax and grease remover, this will help reduce/eliminate the fish eye effect (on your rear bumper) also using a tack cloth before spraying. Looks good though. God bless and stay well.
Rule of thumb on those single stage paints,is mix the paint with the stir stick,It should be three seconds for the stream of paint to break and start dripping .If it takes 5 seconds or more add more reducer till you get it at three seconds
Wax and grease remover and use a tact cloth also before spraying anything make sure your surface is free from anything ....or you'll have possibly many issues
Like everyone else said, they're fisheyes from contamination. You need to wipe down the car with wax/grease remover before spraying. The Majic tractor paint is just another oil-based synthetic enamel like Rustoleum, no different. You can use their reducer and hardener with Rustoleum with the same results.
Thanks for the Tractor Supply tip! The only things I would do different would be hand wash the car,wax and grease remover wipe down after washing and primer. Looks like a nice daily driver paint job that should help sell the car! Many of the other comments on here were good too! Well done!
Do you wet the floor of your shop real good before you paint? If you dont do that and wet peroidically between coats. It will stop lots of trash from getting into the paint also dust will settle in the water as well.
DUST! it was sprayed in an open enviroment. and you spent NO TIME in the prep work. The dark spots is paint contamination. Spend more time in prepping the car and that cheap paint will give you fantastic results. As for the orange peel the paint you used is notorious for that. Best way to fix that is a wet sand buff and polish.
Glad I found your video. For just sanding it down, washing it off and drying it, then spraying it...you came out with a really good finish on this. Like you said, you just wanted to get new paint on this. Learned from other experienced painters on here what little extra prep can be done to avoid those fish eyes and other small flaws. Now, you laid down three coats on this in the same day, right? I've looked at other brands of paint to use on an old truck of mine. They have a much quicker drying time. Majic recommends a cure time of 24 hours between coats. You proved you can shoot several coats in a day and come out with a good finish. Has a good shine and the orange peel isn't too bad. If desired, let it cure for a week or so, then wet sand a bit and buff it out. For a pretty good looking job, think I may go with this Majic brand. Nice video, man.
Not bad at all man. I'd look into speedokote products as well. They sell single stage urethane kits by the gallon for around $100. Everything that I've used from them has been awesome.
Man, that looks good. I'm good with a wrench, but I'm a walking catastrophe with a spray gun. I've used a few rattle cans (either mixed at my local auto body shop, or autozone if they have a can with the same paint code). I have an air-less spray gun kit, I use it for painting a house, or staining a lot of fence, I'm thinking about trying a car with it and some cheap buckets of paint. When I was a kid, I used to read (and day dream) while reading Car-Craft magazines, if those things still exist. I remember an article in which they painted a car with Wal-Mart house paint, and a roller. It looksed like crap, but after sanding, it looked awesome. I'm thinking about maybe trying Wally World paint (with my airless spray gun, not the roller) if I get a car that looks horrible. Anyways, for a cheap car... that's a d**n fine job.
John Davis Thanks man. Yes I have done rattle can growing up and I also tried rolling on house paint on a car lol. Came out decent after a good wetsand but the issue was it took days to completely dry lol this is much easier takes longer to sand and tape it up.
Great ideal using farm paint...those specs are usually just trash in the paint which is common when you don’t have a good paint booth. Turned out well considering you didn’t have primer or sealer on before paint.
the shine only last 3 to 6 months then it will start giving off red powder it is not uv stable and with out striping all the paint off it can never be sprayed with anything but oil based paint or it will wrinkle the better idea would be to go to a big box auto part store and get dupli-color paint shop paint at 30 a quart its cheap ant ready to spray. i did a caviler with 1 primer 2 base and 2clear so 5 cans so for 150 price now. i did mine 10 yrs ago when it was only 17.99 a quart paint was jet black and it still looks good till this day and there are 20 or more colors you can get.
As someone already pointed out, the spots you show is fish eyes. I am old school but there used to be an additive you can use called fish eye remover that can be mixed with the paint to prevent that. Otherwise you will need to make sure everything is sanded well so no original surface is shiny then wipe the entire car down with thinner and tack cloth everything down before starting to paint. But over all the job turned out nice for what was invested.
After you wash off the car use a tack rag to get off remaining dirt and dust and wipe it down with vm&p...gives me great results every time...great job though!!
The specks are probably either dust that fell on afterwards of contamination in paint. The little black dots are contamination underneath the paint, such as water or oils from your hands. Wipe down with wax and grease remover or isopropyl alcohol before, and use a tack cloth right before spraying or even a shop towel is better than nothing
I looked over the comments quick. The one thing that causes those spots is water in the air. You need a Inline filter to remove the water from the compressor or it puts those exact spots on the panels.
Few possible causes of those little imperfections... could be dirt that settled in paint when spraying, silicon/ wax contamination not prepping pannel correctly or water dropletts from spray gun
That stuff is very similar to Rustoleum. It’s oil based enamel. You can add the magic reducer and hardener to Rustoleum and get a similar result. Still good stuff. I’d use it.
I Would keep the door closed, wet the floor down like suggested to keep dust off, strain, and use new filter/water separator. And what no one else mentioned, it is a Saturn (plastic) u need flex agent so it dont spiderweb if u push on the panels. Same with bumpers.
The paint job looks good after you got through you after you sanded it you should have used Scott's bright pad to go around it and it with mineral spirits and then whenever you mixed your paint you should put fish eye emanator and you never had those spots come up good luck with it brother have a blessed day
Your 1st coat looked a little heavy. If that's the case it probably off gassed under the 2nd coat which would cause a lot of those spots. Also you painted it in an open shop instead of a paint booth. Dust and debris will fall on the paint from the ceiling especially when your compressor kicks on. The best way to correct the defects in the paint is to wet sand the entire car with 800 grit, then again with 1500 grit. Then compuond and polish. You should end up with a pretty decent finish.
if your painting inside get a fan with low speed to just blow away the over spray, it sort of just depends too if your just goin to do a fender or just a spot repair, don't know how much experience you have but you'll all this knowledge from experience, good luck.
Hi I'm a painter with 20years experience what your seeing is one of 2 things it's either dirt floating in the air from u painting with the door open or it's fish eye witch is caused by any type of oils or grease even just from ur hand or anywhere really but you just have to prep a little better that's all with to car down with either purple power or AwSoMe or any kind of degreaser and it should come out great after that Hope this helps
I not a expert but always use wax and grease remover. And use a moisture filter at the gun. Some of it looks like water from you compressor. Drain water out before painting.
It might be silicone contamination, keep away any product with silicone in it from a car. It might have been in the polish from years before. And it comes out of the coat when you send it. Then you spread it and it smears in. If you wash the car after sanding it remains there and opens up your paint when applying... Just clean it very well BEFORE sanding. 2 times and after that degrease it. Then you can sand it. And repeat the cleaning from before.
Not a bad job though. I was going to explain what it was but AICS USA said it well. I also seen that you didn't mist down your floor also. I would have mist the floor to keep any dust from flying up into the paint as you spray too. Keep up the good work though.
The specs could be water im the air hose, anything opening up could be contamination, good to clean the car with wax and grease removal, then sand, wash car and clean with lint free rag and alcohol prior to painting
The specs are likely from debris in your gun or paint. Use a filtered funnel. Could also be a contaminate from sanding the car that didn't come off. I've also had that happen where droplets of oil was suspect, and metallic paint can do it also when painting at cold temps. I most cases priming the whole car would solve this but then it wouldn't be a cheap paint paint job.
It’s just debris and dirt from the garage or wherever you painted. Paint booths are completely sealed to prevent all that. Try wet sanding and compound it should come out.
That's a saturn they got plastic fenders and quarter panels I think , plastic will get static it will pull in the dust for that and bumpers u need a static gun or static wips looks good
Those little dots are not contamination. It is solvent pop. It comes from when you don't wait long enough between coats. Because the paint doesn't dry enough before laying the next coat. The solvent that evaporates has nowhere to go because you put the next coat on too quick so it pushes it's way through the coat above it. Causing a small crater
The specks and fish eyes are likely water in your air lines. You did good not using Rustoleum, and i do like the that brand of tractor paint, but you should know for about $25 more you could have gotten actual automotive paint. Go to Ebay and search "red car paint kit". You should find one gallon acrylic enamel paint kits that come with a gallon of paint, hardener and reducer for around $100. The tractor paint will start to fade pretty quickly, whereas automotive acrylic enamel will last many years. Just make sure it's acrylic enamel and not synthetic enamel. Cuz synthetic enamel is basically the same as tractor paint you used. Another option is to go with a Urethane paint kit. They'll run you about an extra $20 over the acrylic enamel, but it's even better paint.
Those spots look like maybe contamination thats definetly a fish eye you have to degrease the car with just simple degreaser and tack be fore spraying. It looks great man really nice gloss.
thank god someone is standing up for majic... i hope you left a reveiw. everyone says that cheap crap paint it's industrial strength. wish you would have splerged and got a blue mix it 4:1 with red to make a sweet purple. then you could add $60 get a clear and mix 25g Blue Green Purple Superflash Chameleon Paint $30 on amazon mix it first coat with clear then 2 more coats over it without the chameleon. then it would be worth a lot to most anyone.. the fish eyes is silicon it's in about everything for cleaning cars someone buildings down can spray it and cause it is can also stay on there for many years lol. you use a solvent to get rid of it i forget which it is.. before your tack cloth. the others was air bubbles trying to get out. i think you poke them and put paint the paint in the hole to seal it up. it might go all the way to the bottom which is bad if opened. always water your floor. keeps dust down. when it flies it will hit the floor and get stuck. you also want to let it dry to the touch between coats so it doesn't shrink and crack later 6- 8 months and want it 3 mill or less thick per coat.
You should've filled & Primed it before painting it. You were not to see the little holes. You can also restore the Headlamps by sanding and clear coating. It was going to look as good as new
AICS is dead on about wax and grease remover also what you should do is spray a coat of primer sealer on first to cover better and because of all the spots you broke through the original paint and buy some disposable moisture filters that screw on the bottom of the gun.. Nice job
or just stay away from those plastic cars stay with your reg metal cars, heck even your regulars cars now a days have a enough plasitcs to make your head scratch.
I bave a chevy silverado 04 2 doors short bed and im planing on body match the fender flares .. The truck is VICTOY RED. And i can paint it my self . do you think this paint match the victory red of gm ? Cause in the video looks very similar .or anybody that already donde that same job ?? Nice work sir
Looks good! Do you have water traps on both your compressor and gun? Moisture in the lines can cause those little round spots. The other blotchy blemishes...maybe oil, grease, sweat, bare metal, etc...
@@dreamdealer8702 ON ANY BASIC PAINT JOB...WIPE THE WHOLE CAR DOWN WITH A DEGRESOR..THEN EITHER ROLL OR SPRAY PRIMER OVER YOUR BARE METAL SPOTS...I ALWAYS DO A REAL LIGHT COAT ..THEN ANOTHER LT COST"..THEN YOU SPRAY 3 COSTS OF WHAT EVER COLOR YOUR PUTTING ON THE CAR...I NEVER PUT CLEAR OVER THESE PAINTS...OIL BASED PAINT..IS GLOSSY ENOUGH"..THEY JUST TAKE TIME TO DRY...LET THE PAINT DRY FOR 2 TO 3WKS BEFORE YOU WASH IT...CAR WASH = PRESSURE ..LET IT SIT TO DRY" OR PUT WAX ON IT..."
Yeah..... and maaco gave me estimate of $3500.00 to paint my mom's old van!!!! I must look dumber than I really am! Thanks for posting this. Guess I'll be doing the work myself.
That’s paint only calls for one medium wet coat. That’s probably where some of the spots are coming from. Some looks like dust nibs and the spot where it opened up is possibly from contamination from not getting cleaned 100% , it looks good though for how cheap that paint is, I spray it sometimes
Looks like grease stains next time use M600 the fish eyes wet sand polish and you will be good if you want to remove orange peel wet sand polish or just polish always strain your paint too 👍🏻
those things caused by the water in the compressor u should dry your compressor before painting or use those things that sotop water to get throw ur gun
Make sure you use an actual cleaning substance like wax and grease remover I was only only a soap was as well and kept getting a lot of those until I used wax and grease remover
To get rid of the specs you need to do better prep...after washing the car use mineral spirits other prep alcohol then wipe down with the tac cloth then paint
Those fish eyes that opened up if u put sealer on it ,it would not do that they might happen in the sealer but after that u won't get them , unless there is a oil drop on there ,if there was a oil drop it would fish eye all the way through, some times if I don't know what is on the surface I. Will put fish eye reducer but it's never really needed if u do I clean job
@@dreamdealer8702 it's cool my dad painted way back in the day if u ran out of that stuff just wash with dawn real good let dry then get a damp clean rag with alcohol and peroxide in it the wipe and let dry and then paint
Blow it off wipe it down with Windex and then alcohol and it shouldnt fish eye. Prime raw spots first with Wal-Mart automotive primer then sand first and you shouldn't have black bleed thru. Keeps it cheap and comes out better. Also you can 600 wet sand and meguires polish with a buffer with a smooth foam pad to put a showroom finish on it
Those spots are fisheye. Wax & degrease first before paint. Tack cloth. Then fisheye eliminator mixed in your paint, (one cap, not much),,,, & your fisheye problems will be gone.
just make sure your body work or even when just sanding the old finish that every is clean after words and just also noticed you said that you weren't sure on the ratio mixes that may have something to do with it too, if there's no directions on the mixing ratios your just playing it by ear may have alot to with it too, sometimes for wanting to say a few dollars you wind up spending more, hey just my cents, you learn from trial and error good luck.
Those are fish eye from not removing dirt before paint or something you left behind in the body and didn't remove and of course their is gonna be tons and tons of orange peel someone who wants to spend some time a 30 dollar bottle of polish and a a microfiber towel I can buff that out by hand with out sanding and make it look way better in about 2 hours do it all the te to single stage paint jobs ppl do at home and hire me my company to buff it out we use machines but just depends on howany coats and type of paint they used if we use machine or not
90% preparation and 10% execution. You can shoot on 320 but.. should use compressed air and spray floors and walls, wet floor, wax and grease remover, tac cloth, inline filter to keep moisture out of your gun, wipe down hoses, create ground to eliminate any static, almost always gonna have some trash so gonna be some work afterwards, always filter paint. Again 90% preparation.
To bad you didn’t seal it. Ive painted cars in the past that have already been painted before and your taking a chance. Some times you’ll have a bad reaction, (a lot of lifting etc.) and I’ve seen it to where it looks like you sprayed Aircraft Paint Stripper on it. Boy was it a mess! But not to bad, Considering.
Cheap blue Walmart windshield wash fluid is the best diy budget wax and grease remover. Learned that as a secret from a ppg rep.
Could you elaborate on what you mean? I tried googling what you said but nobody else seems to be talking about it
@@XTheJenovaProjectX use it to prep just before paint. Wipe it down.

thank god someone is standing up for majic... i hope you left a reveiw. everyone says that cheap crap paint it's industrial strength. wish you would have splerged and got a blue mix it 4:1 with red to make a sweet purple. then you could add $60 get a clear and mix 25g Blue Green Purple Superflash Chameleon Paint $30 on amazon mix it first coat with clear then 2 more coats over it without the chameleon. then it would be worth a lot to most anyone.. the fish eyes is silicon it's in about everything for cleaning cars someone buildings down can spray it and cause it is can also stay on there for many years lol. you use a solvent to get rid of it i forget which it is.. before your tack cloth. the others was air bubbles trying to get out. i think you poke them and put paint the paint in the hole to seal it up. it might go all the way to the bottom which is bad if opened. always water your floor. keeps dust down. when it flies it will hit the floor and get stuck. you also want to let it dry to the touch between coats so it doesn't shrink and crack later 6- 8 months and want it 3 mill or less thick per coat.
What size compressor do you have to paint great job keep it up
Fish eyes. Sandable and buffable.
You should've filled & Primed it before painting it. You were not to see the little holes. You can also restore the Headlamps by sanding and clear coating. It was going to look as good as new
AICS is dead on about wax and grease remover also what you should do is spray a coat of primer sealer on first to cover better and because of all the spots you broke through the original paint and buy some disposable moisture filters that screw on the bottom of the gun.. Nice job
or just stay away from those plastic cars stay with your reg metal cars, heck even your regulars cars now a days have a enough plasitcs to make your head scratch.
I bave a chevy silverado 04 2 doors short bed and im planing on body match the fender flares .. The truck is VICTOY RED. And i can paint it my self . do you think this paint match the victory red of gm ? Cause in the video looks very similar .or anybody that already donde that same job ?? Nice work sir
This looks amazing I’m planing to do this to my 350z when do you add the hardener
Looks good!
Do you have water traps on both your compressor and gun? Moisture in the lines can cause those little round spots. The other blotchy blemishes...maybe oil, grease, sweat, bare metal, etc...
Jeff Augg I have 2 filters. One that came with the gun. And an extra one close to the air compressor
@@dreamdealer8702 ON ANY BASIC PAINT JOB...WIPE THE WHOLE CAR DOWN WITH A DEGRESOR..THEN EITHER ROLL OR SPRAY PRIMER OVER YOUR BARE METAL SPOTS...I ALWAYS DO A REAL LIGHT COAT ..THEN ANOTHER LT COST"..THEN YOU SPRAY 3 COSTS OF WHAT EVER COLOR YOUR PUTTING ON THE CAR...I NEVER PUT CLEAR OVER THESE PAINTS...OIL BASED PAINT..IS GLOSSY ENOUGH"..THEY JUST TAKE TIME TO DRY...LET THE PAINT DRY FOR 2 TO 3WKS BEFORE YOU WASH IT...CAR WASH = PRESSURE ..LET IT SIT TO DRY" OR PUT WAX ON IT..."
Those spots you pointed out or called fish eyes it's what happens when you don't clean it well enough
Those spots are contaminants. Since its single stage you can sand them down and re spray
$100 paint job and it looks pretty dang good im impressed for the price lol hope you got your $1800 out of it
Great video, as always!
Yeah..... and maaco gave me estimate of $3500.00 to paint my mom's old van!!!! I must look dumber than I really am! Thanks for posting this. Guess I'll be doing the work myself.
I aint mad, looks pretty darn good to me
Came out great!!!!
Randizle Peregoy thanks man
That’s paint only calls for one medium wet coat. That’s probably where some of the spots are coming from. Some looks like dust nibs and the spot where it opened up is possibly from contamination from not getting cleaned 100% , it looks good though for how cheap that paint is, I spray it sometimes
Jeter Wigginton yea it’s super cheap. I have more than half the gallon left
Yeah that paint does go a long way lol
Looks good it shines good
Looks great
How much hardener and reducer did u put on paint i didnt catch that or what ratio
I can’t remember but it’s on the gallon
those little spots are dirt nibs and how you get them off you sand them down and then buff and wax
Looks like grease stains next time use M600 the fish eyes wet sand polish and you will be good if you want to remove orange peel wet sand polish or just polish always strain your paint too 👍🏻
Great job!
those things caused by the water in the compressor
u should dry your compressor before painting
or use those things that sotop water to get throw ur gun
Definitely need to work on my saturn
Make sure you use an actual cleaning substance like wax and grease remover I was only only a soap was as well and kept getting a lot of those until I used wax and grease remover
To get rid of the specs you need to do better prep...after washing the car use mineral spirits other prep alcohol then wipe down with the tac cloth then paint
Are you running a filter off your air compressor the specs could be water droplets in your paint
Yes sir but they are cheap and probably don’t work good anymore
Looks good though
Those fish eyes that opened up if u put sealer on it ,it would not do that they might happen in the sealer but after that u won't get them , unless there is a oil drop on there ,if there was a oil drop it would fish eye all the way through, some times if I don't know what is on the surface I. Will put fish eye reducer but it's never really needed if u do I clean job
happy days thanks man. I ran out of wax and grease remover so I didn’t really clean it up to good
@@dreamdealer8702 it's cool my dad painted way back in the day if u ran out of that stuff just wash with dawn real good let dry then get a damp clean rag with alcohol and peroxide in it the wipe and let dry and then paint
I'm a little late to the video but it is contamination. Oil, water etc... something. You can sand it out and repaint it.
Blow it off wipe it down with Windex and then alcohol and it shouldnt fish eye. Prime raw spots first with Wal-Mart automotive primer then sand first and you shouldn't have black bleed thru. Keeps it cheap and comes out better. Also you can 600 wet sand and meguires polish with a buffer with a smooth foam pad to put a showroom finish on it
Those spots are fisheye. Wax & degrease first before paint. Tack cloth. Then fisheye eliminator mixed in your paint, (one cap, not much),,,, & your fisheye problems will be gone.
This car looks brand new
Very cool car shame I can't get one here in nz.
Did you wipe the car down with wax and grease remover?
Nice! What compressor did you use??
just make sure your body work or even when just sanding the old finish that every is clean after words and just also noticed you said that you weren't sure on the ratio mixes that may have something to do with it too, if there's no directions on the mixing ratios your just playing it by ear may have alot to with it too, sometimes for wanting to say a few dollars you wind up spending more, hey just my cents, you learn from trial and error good luck.
Those are fish eye from not removing dirt before paint or something you left behind in the body and didn't remove and of course their is gonna be tons and tons of orange peel someone who wants to spend some time a 30 dollar bottle of polish and a a microfiber towel I can buff that out by hand with out sanding and make it look way better in about 2 hours do it all the te to single stage paint jobs ppl do at home and hire me my company to buff it out we use machines but just depends on howany coats and type of paint they used if we use machine or not
90% preparation and 10% execution. You can shoot on 320 but.. should use compressed air and spray floors and walls, wet floor, wax and grease remover, tac cloth, inline filter to keep moisture out of your gun, wipe down hoses, create ground to eliminate any static, almost always gonna have some trash so gonna be some work afterwards, always filter paint. Again 90% preparation.
To bad you didn’t seal it. Ive painted cars in the past that have already been painted before and your taking a chance. Some times you’ll have a bad reaction, (a lot of lifting etc.) and I’ve seen it to where it looks like you sprayed Aircraft Paint Stripper on it. Boy was it a mess! But not to bad, Considering.
Ratio is 8 :1 there are 2 pints to the quart 4 quarts to the gallon so 1 pint to gallon is 8:1
Good job
That is called fish eye u got a little oil there your line they have an additive called fish eye just a drop or 2 per coat will stop that
Is it fish eye or solvent poping
Looks really good, how did it hold up so far?
Raymond Garcia just made new video. Better than expected
