Couple tips from a painter here. ●Flick that gun out to the side at the beginning and end of each paint stroke to avoid the harsh stop start spots in between panels ●Slower and more overlap than you think you'll need on the flat surfaces, hood roof decklid etc ●Using a guide coat when sanding the primer will help you get it all the way smooth by highlighting spots that haven been fully sanded. I've seen much worse first paint jobs. Reds like that are difficult to get full coverage with and not to mention single stage with metallics is a challenge even for better painters. You should feel pretty good about that👍
25 year old guy here, seeing a highschooler do this for their first time, making mistakes and learning, jumping in confidently, and getting results that good that can be paint corrected to be even better gives me a hell of a confidence boost to finally do the same to my car, so many other videos jump from 0-100 with show quality finishes even on "beginner" videos, complete sensory overload, Fantastic video dude, You've inspired me, keep it up and your going places in life!
Great job. Looks 100 times better. I painted a car for the first time back in college. Full of orange peel and other imperfections, but I learned a lot from the experience.
Things to fix for the next time: -Dust free environment -Blending the paint from panel to panel -Sand ALL of the scratches out before you paint anything -Don't finish with an orbital sander, finish by hand with a block -always hand sand "side to side", NEVER "forward and backward" (This avoids making finger-sized/spaced sanding grooves) -Maybe back away slightly when you spray -Don't spray panels separately if you are doing metal flake/pearl/candy/etc... (the product will lay down differently from panel to panel) -Yes, hold the gun perfectly perpendicular to your surface
Wet sand the car and polish it with a rough compound and I guarantee you that paint will pop a lot more. Either way great job for your first time painting! Painting is difficult to master, and the only way to really get good at it is to just do it over and over again.
For a first attempt thats an awesome result, Not many people get it that good on a first attempt, especially on an entire car. Nice work and props to you for giving it a go! Look forward to more videos.
You did good. Cool thing is you will look back at this 20 years from now and see how much youve progressed. Like you said, gotta start somewhere. I too will be doing this soon also.
Good effort man, while it may not have turned out amazing, it's still a ton better than before and you have also gained a heap of experience for next time. Really good job for giving it a go, can't say I know of many others who would try to do it themselves let alone a highschooler, you'll do heaps better next time.
First car I painted was my 78' BMW. Did it in two stage paint. I used quality components and I had many runs and orange peel, but after wet sanding and polishing it was amazing! In my opinion single stage is much harder to paint than two stage. Good job and great attitude.
Lots of respect to you for taking on this project. Don't listen to the haters. Plenty of videos on wet sanding and buffing to hone it in. Also, take a look at Autobody for a career option. I've been in it for many years now and wake up every morning excited to get to work.
You know the secret that makes paintjobs look good? 90-95% of the job is sanding sanding sanding. If you sand it down and polish that, it will look 100x better! Repainting a car is basically like polishing a turd, at first it will look like orange peel, but after a good sanding and polish, you will be blown away with the results.
honestly, props for tackling such a big project with no experience and then being brave enough to post it on the internet for strangers to tear apart. as a beginner myself I can’t really offer much advice but I feel like a lighter color would’ve been more forgiving coverage/streak-wise. also plasti dipping the emblems before painting would’ve made those look a lot cleaner afterwards. good luck on your next project!
Unbelievable you did a really nice job being the first time that’s something I always wanted to do that and after seeing you I’m so motivated and excited to do mine
1.Put sheets of toilet paper over ya mask filter, keeps em goin longer! 2. Orange peel is usually low pressure related, if its peely straight from the get go, turn your pressure up, like 35 psi+, if its ok then goes peely, your compressor is probably losing pressure, so youll need to slow down. 3. If it aint right, paint it white! 😂
Good Job! I did my first at home paint job last year, and it turned out pretty similar. I ended up doing a cut and buff, and it worked wonders, highly recommend
Now, to complete the paint Job, you should sand all the paint again for micro correction, 1200 sand paper should be perfect, after that, you have to polish all the paint in 2 steps, the first will be agressive, with a cut compound whit a wool beret, the second step you will use a finishing compound with a foam beret
I repainted my Mk 1 Golf with 2k, sanded it down by hand with 1200 grit.. then used a polisher (with a sheep cloth attachment) then burnt (melted) the paint on the roof as I was also still learning. Note for myself.. never use it at very high speed.. With a bit of patience and moderate speed trying not to cause too much friction and water based polish a par car down and polishe it came out very nice.. also.. not to mention it was painted white.. maybe the best color not showing blemishes etc easily 😊. Good luck. Otherwise your paint job made a huge difference.. well done.
@@dominykas6165 from 800+ its always wet sand, and dont put a lot of pressure when sanding, also dont stay in the same area for too long or you maybe taking all the paint out
I tried rattle-canning some of my car. The fender came out well but I realized that I was going to have to step up my game if I wanted to have professional-ish results. Now I'm inspired. Thanks!
Great video fella. I love your attitude and I actually really liked the streaks! I'm a self taught painter about a year on from my first attempt. You will start to develop your own style and really get into the gun settings. If you can afford it, buy a good gun. You'll know where your money went when you use it. I made a dryer for my compressor too. Never stop learning!
Shocked to see you don’t have hundreds of thousands of views, got a new sub. Your content quality is immaculate, stay consistent and you will certainly see success.
Fist time i painted single stage was about the same outcome as yours. You learn as you go. I have since painted dozens of cars, and I can assure you that i still have some cars come out like my first. Single stage paint is sometimes a crap shoot.
Like other have said wet sand with 1500 or 1200 grit until smooth and no reflections are left when dry, then a do 1500 if you did 1200 first and finish with 2000 grit followed by compound and polish. It will end up looking like a mirror!
@@pb6839 true I did this with spray can only and 99% of my paint ended up looking like a mirror but in one fender I over sanded the clear since it had a tiny dent and went to the base coat, have to be very careful not to over sand raised bumps.
@@pb6839 oh my bad I misunderstood; I think it should work as the orange peel is caused by uneven surface on the paint, as long as it ends up smooth it will look fine, but over sanding is way more of an issue.
looks good! props for the honest camera work too - so many yt vids hide the imperfections, but this is honestly the outcome every first diy panel & paint has.
You probably went a little to heavy on the first coat that’s why you got lots of streaks and runs. Don’t be so close and also try to be a little faster with the hand motions. Try to paint with your elbow at a 90° and paint with the Wrist, not with your hole body and arm, for me thats the thing that helped me paint better
I will give you credit despite the mistakes and spots. You tried it and did it for an experience and just to make it look better than it did before. Which it does look better than before, even if there’s some errors. My recommendation to you, would be don’t try to paint anymore lol. Try wrapping instead, way more forgiving and easier tbh.
Hey man just putting this here to help you out as much as possible. Primer should be finished at 180-220 before spraying and not the 100-120 grit because as material dries it'll shrink and possibly expose aggressive sanding marks, additionally you have to remember primer is never going to lay down flat because it's meant to be sanded a primer sealer is what you would use if you don't want to but it does not offer the same build properties and if you don't lay it flat the rest of the paint job will look bad. For the single stage process I'm not sure what you finished sanding at but I've used the dimension line a few times and it's recommended you finish at 400. Mixing was good BUT never go all out and mix the entire gallon at one time because the paint has a pot life and if weather was very hot you'd be screwed with product drying while not in use. The stripes you got are common in beginners don't fret too much but that's mainly the issue of holding the gun at improper angles and not having a consistent overlap. Keep up the work we all start somewhere, i know there's quite a few comments saying to sand and buff and you can do that but only if the single stage did not contain metallic or pearl
Dude, that's sick 🔥🔥. I had a green '96 Camry as my first car, and I loved that thing. Sadly, I didn’t have the resources to completely repaint it, but I did the hood black, and repainted the roof and trunk the original color. Other than that, I installed an 8-ball shift knob, put an aftermarket exhaust on, cold air intake, interior and exterior underglow lights, clear front turn signal markers, and probably more I'm forgetting. Good work, and keep it up 👍
Your fan was a bit too small on the gun, and think your compressor may have been struggling to keep up a bit. But can tell you the best way to learn is what youre doing right now. Give it a good wet sand after its fully cured, start 1000 grit and work your way up 1000-1500-2000 and then a full buff and wax and it will look 100 times better
That paint acted more like a candy, pretty tough paint color to work with on a first try. But I’m sure you learned a lot and hopefully do the Supra soon
My friend wants me to single stage his car, and professional pages made me feel like I shouldn’t even try it. Just way too intense. This page just gave me the inspiration to do it. Already have 4 years of detailing professionally under my belt. How hard could painting really be??? (I know it’s hard but I mean damn look at this job. It looks great)
not to bad for ya first time next time maybe try to get a bigger air compressor so you have a consent air flow and just doing some test panels to get a good feel for the gun and get the settings set up best
I mean, the car was not in great shape before, so now it's not in great shape still, only shiny ER! Good job And good luck. More prep on the body, and then more sanding after the primer, and as another comment said, after the job sand and polish, but then again I've never painted anything
open the fan up on spraygun turn the psi up more too, move faster also walk the length of the car, also theres something called control coat to avoid the tiger stripes on the hood and roof
Key to spraying single stage is to turn down the material on the gun. Its tricky to spray as a first timer because its easy to run it. Youre tiger striping besause of a combination of the amount of material coming out of the nozzle and inconsistant overlap technique and fan pattern
polish it. it will look 100times better
Yeah Have you tried Polish on your car or wax ceramic nano which is better? Thanks
@@grupposoleblufranto7971 they are diffrent things the ceramic coat is like wearing gloves for your paint and polish gets the paint level so removing scratches etc
Thanks for your clarification @@kaisercontrolsyou3636
@grupposoleblufranto7971 you only use ceramic coating after polishing. It is a semi permanent option so it will leave the paint looking bad
You can't polish a fresh painted service my man
Couple tips from a painter here.

I painted a car for the first time back in college. Full of orange peel and other imperfections, but I learned a lot from the experience.
Things to fix for the next time:
-Dust free environment
-Blending the paint from panel to panel
-Sand ALL of the scratches out before you paint anything
-Don't finish with an orbital sander, finish by hand with a block
-always hand sand "side to side", NEVER "forward and backward" (This avoids making finger-sized/spaced sanding grooves)
-Maybe back away slightly when you spray
-Don't spray panels separately if you are doing metal flake/pearl/candy/etc... (the product will lay down differently from panel to panel)
-Yes, hold the gun perfectly perpendicular to your surface
Dont give up. Always enjoy any project with your dad. My dad and I had so many projects

love this, a tip, tack cloth after the first coat and wet the ground with water before spraying so that dust doesn’t fly up from the spraying
