With the cost of all paint types going up, spending a little more on a gun that atomizes better to give better results will pay for itself quickly. Think about the cost of materials to fix a problem as well as your unpaid time to fix it. As a DIY guy, I have struggled with a cheaper gun for base and clear having problems that take me hours to fix or strip and respray. It is frustrating to chase down bad results and fix them. After investing in good base and clear guns, my results improved drastically. I am not good enough to work a cheap gun to get good results, but I can spray a great gun to get good results.
Very enjoyable video Kandy Man, I like the way you go into great detail about everything you are doing as I'm one of those people you mentioned in your video, I've been spraying around 3 years now so I'm not really a beginner but it's a hobby for me doing it in a homemade booth in the corner of my workshop, I'm lucky enough to have my own paint scheme which is a huge help getting my colours mixed. Thanks for sharing you knowledge, experience and skills with us Kandy Man👏🙏👍John UK
Thank you Kandyman for the basics videos. Sometimes back to basics is where we need to look back especially on the getting the correct color and checking the chips before even attempt to paint. I saw alot painters skip this steps and eventually found out the color is way off. I hope to see you show us color tinting maybe in next video? That would be great as there aren't much videos on color basics tint.
I’ve noticed using Scan sealer I get gloss drop off in the clear coat when I drys compared to panels that I haven’t used scan sealer on but I think 🤔 that’s normal with that product
Helpful tip for I got that control coat and love and respect from Afghanistan ,and if you make one special video in detail about modelling and become clouding in silver and metallic step by step thank you candy man
Don't know if you have used it but I like using finish 1 fc 720 clear coat. It's good and budget friendly. Use fc 740 super brilliant for something more showy
Just recently found out about you thru paint society and this is the first video i sat and watched every second of. Im a young ppg painter myself, thank you for being giving all the advice you can and talking about almost every little step we painters have to do. One thing i struggle with now is color matches and just having to tint so much, how can i be more efficient in my shop trying to match, checking colors and doing spray outcards and not wasting so much time on that?
What I recommend is to spray your cards for the colors you think you are gonna have trouble with. Jobs earlier in the day, you can spray your cards, check colors, etc. That way once the car goes in, you're ready to go. You can work on it in between coats to get it dialed in. Make sure to write everything down to add to a library of each manufacturer. One other good way of doing it is to spray a spray out card for every chip you paint, that way you have a true color, and you'll have a library set up for you each time. You can use the camera to also get into the ballpark, but always do a spray out card and label it so you can use it again. Hope this helps.
Oh yeah. Can you cover psi, coats, drop coats, modifier etc with waterborne. Do you use din 4 cup or just percent? I have only done small parts with enviriobase and it came out great. Drop coat was super easy. Do you double control coat? Only certain metallics? Doing a respray soon. Thanks for everything kandy.
Nobody teaches one another in this industry. "This isnt a school" is what newbies where told in bodyshops. Kandyman and paint society spoil us viewers, some of us got the meat grinder. Panels look top notch.
Thanks for the video. Going back to basics on color matching, I typically have good success with matching color painting metal panels. However, when I use the same base paint and clear on plastic bumper it turns out a shade or two darker than a fender painted using exact same paint supplies. I mean fender and bumper painted on the same day using exact same materials. Can you or anyone else tell me what I am doing incorrectly and what needs to improve?
@@kandyman5315 Good to know. So in order to make it match better, do I need to apply a bit less (half a coat) of the base. I assume a clear coat won't need to be changed? Separate paint card for the bumper?
Kandy Man I love the way you present the job you are working on; always clear and concise. No BS. This was a great video. My question is do you use a flex agent on the bumpers? I was told to use one when I sprayed the bumper on my Miata years ago. I want to shoot the whole car now after I take out a few dings and such. If so, can I use it on the rest of the car too? Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
great video, one question, im never sure in your videos whether the parts that show you doing the spraying have been sped up for the benefit of the video or they're in real-time. For example at 13:00 is this 1x speed we are seeing and you are really moving that quickly with your gun? Or it has been sped up? thanks
hey candy man i buy paint already mixed i just add reducer and i have alot of trouble getting the color rigth since they give me a different type of color even when i try to blend it some times the color is too far off so even blending doesnt work i am working at home is there anything i can do to make it better. only happens in metallic colors the other color are fine
Hi kandy man your dead right was telling your mate or buddy Brian on Instagram and you tube got my bumper painted he used a,spectrometer takes pictures and the bumper is totally different colour from the car he used a computer to mix the paint solvent Mipa now the bumper has to be re painted and a blend he said on the wings 😮
@@kandyman5315 when my bumper mate has to be re painted with base coat paint and clear coat paint what's the best Da sander disks to use on the clear coat paint on the bumper in Grit i mean like 400 . 600. 800.
@@kandyman5315 so 600 mate to take the old clear coat paint off on the bumper will he have to prime or seal it again or just put the solvent base coat paint straight over
It's Sherwin Williams newest solvent line. Or basically debeers.. very good color match and coverage. Had one guy tell me he covered in 1 coat basically
Not bashing by any means. You are a great painter. But you failed to mention clean air in your air line. That makes a big difference . A lot of people that do it at there house don't have the they dryer a shop has . Can you do a video on a cheap way to do it
@@kandyman5315 great to here the the the 👍 I know if I buy 1500 Dollars with of material and spend time sanding and prepping don't want a crappy paint job
Hi, I have a question, after paint jop is finished, you can still touch up clearcoat (only clearcoat, not basecoat) in some local areas (when everything has dried).or do I have to do everything again sanding + base coat + clear coat...Another question is: can I let the 1K base coat dry for 1 day and then sand it with P1000 or P1200 and then spray clear coat over it? or drying time between base coat and clear coat should not be too long (for good adhesion of clearcoat ) .in some videos they say that I should not wait longer than 30 minutes otherwise the clear coat will not stick properly.but 30 minutes seems like a very short time to me thank you very much,,have a nice day

Absolutely correct
But even a good gun can't do wonders, if you are using the cheapest products you can find, I learned that the hard way.
Please do a tinting video.
Great video Kandy Man, those Exodus spray guns produce an amazing finish. Great knowledge and explanation. Thanks 👏👏
Glad to hear you enjoyed it

Great video! Thanks for explaining the control drop coat
@kandyman on a DV1 how many psi would you drop the pressure for the drop coat?
Great !
Your paint always turns out so beautiful, I don't understand how the drop coat doesn't lay down dry and grainy. Please explain if possible.
Awesome video! Can you please do one where you explain your exodus color coat setup and clear coat setup? Cheers
Check out the video before this one

Check your Instagram
"blend panels" simply panels that will receive only clear coat...dont "burn" the base coat during prep. correct?
Color and clear

Plastic is know for that .they say static can change the way the metallic lays

Just make sure your coats are the same position bumper how it sits on the car spray it with the the same pressure and distance
Im very curious about your breathing equipment. It does not seem to have a supply line of air. it looks self-contained. How does it work ?

Yes we do use flex. It's recommended for plastic parts in primers sealers and clears .not in the base it is water base so it is flexible.

Bring a piece of the car to the nearest paint store, such as a gas door so they can match it
Hi hru first time painting im scared i have wet sanded with 600grit do i always use a sealer and wat a good sealer i need to get

Can you use a seal coat to repaint a hood where the paint is peeling off the primer?
It's best to prime and sand that repair. Sometimes the sealer will show a ring around it
Thanks.@@kandyman5315
Do you tack in between base coats and before clear coat?
No just in beginning

Yes you can sand the base but recommend putting more base before clear especially on metallic colors. If not you will see sand scratches
