Hi there! First thanks a bunch for the video. I'm planning to paint my faded trunk over the weekend. wonder if a can of both base and clear are enough?? Thanks
so i have a small convertible its RED, which one do i have to buy? or what? if i want Blue???? and after you do the last step, do you have to like polish it with Compound?
Dude I just found your channel. love your how to videos, straight to the point. All car repair videos should be like this, no face reveals, no telling me about your family/day/pets, no talking to the camera, no bullshit, just show me the car. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Just a quick comment for those who have not yet gone through the school of hard knocks. THIS IS NOT A QUICK AND SKILLESS JOB. You really have to follow every step in order to get good results, otherwise you get crap. Do not try to dry sand your clear coat off either --it will leave deep scratches. If you don't like the way it turned out, don't panic! Use 2000 grit sandpaper to wet sand, after you have let your clearcoat dry at least a day. Than use some compound with a buffer to really shine it up nice. You can save your paint job this way.
@@nzmarco depending how your base coat look. If you notice a lot of runs, dust or imperfections you can do light sanding using fine grit. Clean it with a safe cleaning agent and use a tack rag to ensure no dust left behind before clearing.
Agreed 1,000%. This is not a skilless endeavor. TH-cam videos are great for learning but at times I think they oversimplify things. Some intentionally others not intentionally. I don't believe the producer of this video was intentionally trying to mislead people. I wish I had his skill
@@nzmarco yes, I feel like a step with skipped. I feel like they should have sounded defender after painting before clearcoat that’s just my opinion I could be wrong look like it would’ve turned out better if it was sanded before the clear.
Incredible! I wanted to sell my car to a dealership, but the clear coat peel looks so bad. There is no way they were gonna give me the price quoted. I followed your instructions to the letter. I spent $100 total. That included getting the paint code off the side of the door and getting the base paint ordered. Very smart to do that. It came out great. I wish I could’ve uploaded before and after pictures. Ended up getting the full price quoted for the car after that! Thank you thank you
This 100% works, I used different paint tho, keep it waxed every few months and use car covers during the scorching summertime and it will last you years, im going on 3 years now and it still looks as if I did it yesterday... This video is underrated!
Do you know how to get specific colors in a spray can like that? I’m looking for black, for a 2002 Honda accord. Is that a generic enough color/car that I can use the spray cans from the auto parts store? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Tip, get a small bucket and put warm soapy water in it. Get a sponge to keep the sanding area wet. Reduces friction and you end up with a better job of sanding.
I just spent $70 in this bad economy to repair an entire right front fender panel. You videos have given me the instructions and confidence to tackle the job. Thank you!!!
I did this to a 22 year old Toyota pickup truck,figures I had nothing to lose. I was freaking amazed how good it turned out!...my advice to anybody who is thinking about doing this is just get over the fear of screwing s omthing up and just take your time and do it!...there are plenty of videos out there to follow although this one is very good!...I think you'll be amazed!
john crawford John afew years back I paint my uncle Thunderbird 70's red color base coat with top coat white pearl. It turned out very PINK. I must have let the red paint dry more time. My uncle gave away the car to my aunt...
Painted a car one time years ago, will never try that again! But paint repair? That's something I have done, and just like you said. Don't be scared of messing it up, just try it! You'll be amazed (if you get it right)
Sooo I've 'inherited' 3 cars that need this so badly. Thank you for this, I may be broke but I'm proud of what I do have and like to take care of my stuff. You are awesome.
If you are on a budget, then this is a good way to do it. If you don't have any time constraints you can even get a paintshop perfect result by letting the base coat dry a few days and then lightly smooth sand it with really high grit and later do the same to the clear coat with an extra step of polishing the clear coat. You can get a mirror finish with some extra time and elbow grease.
I was going to ask about that. I assumed you would need to wet sand the base coat and the first clear coat with longer time between each, so thanks for clarifying. I’m assuming also that most orange peel would be removed with a wet sand. Any issues spraying 2K clear over acrylic base coat?
@@JB-qw2jk I have only ever used 2K clear on 2K paint or plain old enamel rattle can paint. I know many ppl use water based paints and then 2K clear them. It is popular with custom motorcycle helmets
Hello, is the base coat just standard base coat or do you have to get your matching paint color? if so, can i just order online or where can i buy it in USA
Yeah panel shops rely on $500 cars coming in for repairs that exceed their price tag, RIP panel shops Side note, this is a temporary touch up and won't last very long and is only useful for flipping a cheap car
Yeah right! Until you do this and realize there is a huge step he missed, orange peal! Not to mention, that was just a fender! 75% of people dont have the time to can spray paint a whole car let alone the time it takes to sand by hand!!
People tend to get a little hysterical about paint finish on older automobiles, this video is a great example of how a really quite presentable finish can be a achieved affordably & with a small amount of effort & work space available. No, this is not professional quality, but it is really amazingly good for spray cans & gives the car a new lease of life for a few years. Well done to you on sharing your skills on this as getting a cars paint professionally restored is almost beyond most of us financially now. And bonus is doing a section at a time is much easier than tackling the whole car at once.
@@Mad4Motors_ Nice job! I have been working on my 1989 Mazda B2200... Funny thing is I was T-boned in an accident in 2002, the passenger door and front panel were damaged... so the door was replaced and panel painted... Well that is where most of the problems are!!! My door has rust on it, while the rest of my 30 year old truck is perfect, and I mean perfect!!! Thank you, Isabelle on Canada's West Coast.
Been a casual detailer for years, never seen anyone do a diy clearcoat repair. Excellent work man, it looks great. Wish I would have known about this a few cars back. The attitude then was 'clearcoat failure? you need a new paint job!'
Still a new paint job actually which is the only way to fix it but a bit more affordable which is perfect for a car that doesn't warrant taking to it to a shop.
I was thinking the same, I bought a car about 6 months ago, and the previous owner had ignored some stone chips and maybe used a pressure washer on it, and the paint is peeling (meh the car was cheap) and I was thinking I would have to pay for a complete respray. Now I've seen this video, I can probably give it a go myself for a very small fraction of the cost.
My toxic trait is buying all the supplies thinking I'll just do it myself and then throwing them out 5 years later after everything is dried up and ruined.

Just the video I was looking for. Straight to the point, instead of making a long video with ads. I have some peeling on my car roof I want to repair correctly. I already had to fix some small, rusted spots by sanding them down and using touchup paint to seal the repair. It has kept water out for at least a year but is definitely a band aid fix.
Thank you for all your clear consise videos and fast forwarding through the sanding bits...brilliant!!

Thanks for actually telling me what I needed to know to get the job done without dragging it out. I looked at 10 videos before I found yours that just got to the point, simply. Thank You
I own a body shop lol and everytime somebody ask "is there anyway i can get it cheaper, my response is always the same....just do it yourself" that's how you save the most money on any job😎
@@lismsthebenchandthebooth2230 exactly! Every one of my clients that asks this I point them to TH-cam. There's not a thing out there you can't learn from youtube. Basically all you're doing is paying me so you don't have to do it.
Sand paper, tape, paper, canned spray paint, canned clear coat. What was cost? How many coats? Was there chemical reaction with factory paint/primer? Did the paint match? Of all colors only black is universal! But fade? I'm not in anyway in auto body. But I've seen many cheap paint jobs. This is just another gimmick! If you want to try. Try on a model car. If it doesn't work, at least it was cheaper than a real one!
Best paint/body repair channel on TH-cam by a long shot. Mad4Motors have every topic covered so far that related to my cars damage... lets just hope I can do it right!
A few tips.. - Once sanding is complete, PUT ON GLOVES. Your hands carry many oils, and washing them won't fix this. Touching the panel with your hands will transfer oils and compromise your work. - Clean panel with wax & grease remover on a clean lint free towel. Be sure to get all of the panel edges. Open adjacent panels (hood, door) to get to the edges if needed. - Mask off your area (if required), clean the panel again, then tack it. - Start your spraying in the "hard to reach" areas, such as the edge of the fender that's next to the hood, the edge by the door, the edge by the headlight, and the underside of the fender (wheelwell arch). Your normal back and forth spray pattern will most likely miss these areas. If the clear doesn't "envelope" the entire panel, and falls short on one edge, guess where it's going to peel first? Just some constructive tips, otherwise you did a good job. Judging by the fact that it is a 10+ year old Hyundai, you just wanted it to look better, which you definitely achieved.
Well, once you have sanded, there is no need to touch the panel. I'm sure the dude knows you tips, but the fact he painted it on the car the way he did suggests he just wants a quick and easy job. He should get a few years out of it, since the 2k is pretty tough.
Great points, I know very little about painting. I scratched up my firebird using too much pressure on a hard rubber fender, got lighter sand paper and went over it. But this method seems great, sounds like it will work, well done. Subscribed.
Thank you! My car is starting to look rough and I wasn't sure what was wrong until someone mentioned it might be the clear coat coming off. Definitely going to try this when I can.
Was looking for this exact tutorial as my 99 Tercel is peeling badly on the roof. Thanks for the clear, simple instructions. Going to watch your video on the hood area now.
I've got the exact same car with the exact same problem! This looks amazing, great job. Something I've been thinking about doing for a while, I just don't know how much life the thing has left in it.
@@SwayPromo rubbed down with very very fine grit sandpaper and water. It smooths things off and flattens the orange peel effect without removing too much of the clearcoat. Then when polished with a buffer it will shine again
I’m very pleased to have come across this video, I have clear coat issues on 90% of my vehicle small areas only luckily, however, I will need to be doing the whole car .video has given me the confidence to buy the materials myself. base coat clear coat masking wet and dry sandpaper the whole lot I still save money. thank you so much.👍
That looks amazing man. I cant believe the results without wetsanding in stages after clear coating. Most other videos recommend alot of stages with sanding, then buffing with compound and lastly waxing. Yours look almost as shiny without anything.
I'd say it has been polished after it dried out. There are some imperfections vissible right prior masking tape removal and then the surface is litle bit smoother without those few bits at the end of the video. It has been polished off. Good job regardless
Quite amazing results and very reassuring so thanks for the instructional video. Prepping well obviously takes some time but the return for that effort is appears to be well worth it. I have a ‘95 Miata with custom pain that was horribly expensive and doesn’t come in spray cans. Hopefully I will be able to bypass the paint coat step and still get a acceptable end result.
I really enjoyed the short and simple video. This guy didn't waste no time with all the unnecessary talking and bs. Obviously if your pain is bad you going to go by the base coat. If your clear coat is messed up and obviously you know that you have to go by the clear coat. This video actually inspired me to start working on my classic car one panel at a time.
Did you ever paint your car after watching this video? I paint cars for a living and I can only imagine the aggravation a person will go through after watching this video. Hopefully it went well for ya.
note : to get the best results from spray can paint - heat the can ( safely ) - until the can is heat soaked through to about 100* f 40-50*c this will help the paint propellants - it will thin the paint droplets and cause it lay nicely preventing orange peel appearance. still a nice job for a spray can.
Thank you for posting this video. It was extremely informative and your instructions where easy to follow along with. It’s amazing to me that you where able to get the results you got using spray cans. Very impressive. I have this very same problem with my HHR SS. A shop in my area gave me a quote of 5k just to prep and spray the passenger fender and door. After watching your video I’m definitely going to give it a try. So again thank you for taking the time to make this video and explain how this repair is done. Thank you
Thanks for the video. I can't afford to get my old truck repaired professionally, so I am going to try this myself it's the last truck I will ever own being I have a terminal illness but this should be good enough for me.
Basecoat always looks like that when its wet. As long as it looks right when its dry your ok. If you see orange peel or even worse fish eyes or crow feet then you have to start over because you have contamination under the clear and will have to sand it out and then try again. Also make sure to use wax and grease remover before spraying anything to help avoid those problems in the first place.
Awesome job! Very easy to understand the way you explained and demonstrated the process. I like the way you condensed the whole thing bit kept everything needed in a very good editor fashion. Thanks for sharing!
It’s funny how I just purchase a Hyundai Santa Fe and it needs clear coat repair, so I look up videos and you’re working on a Hyundai Santa Fe! Wow! Great video, much appreciated!
Great job.I am having this issue with my motorcycle tank.This kind of damage is very common with Honda's here across the pond. Now hyundai's pretty much have the paint peeling off completely.
Awesome video. Quick, efficient great "to the point" how to video! What amazes me is how you can put clear over sanded rubbed out gray back to black! Before and after certainly looks outstanding.
Wow, great job! The car looks amazing where you touched up. I have a small patch of clearcoat that peeled somehow on my F30 front bumper thats needs to be done. If only I can have the guts to do what I just watched from you especially the sanding process. Just don't want to screw it up and make it looking worse!
Use a high grit, like 800, so you will not damage the surface, and if the surface is not smooth then try to go lower and more aggressive grit like 600 or less. Make sure you use water while sanding
Good job. short and to the point. Ive got a football size peel on the hood of my older Kia Soul, it's baking in the Florida sun here. I used to fix my own vehicles and repaint and clear coat, just with cans, always came out fine. You reminded me that it's time to get back on the stick . Thanks. Subscribed.
I think your Video on Clear Coat repair is one the best ive seen on You-Tube. Your straight to the point and the job was trully helpful , thanks a bunch ! 👍
@@ghostzzz3988 I painted it last summer and it didn't look as good as Mad4Motor's 😂 lol but it did give our 20 year old vehicle a facelift. I fixed an area on the hood. It was really hard to get a good angle and probably would have come out better if I could have painted the entire hood. Its slightly noticeable, but I just wash and wax it regularly and its not unsightly. I'd suggest anyone trying this to buy good quality spray paint and take the extra time to protect surfaces you don't want painted, even practice first. I had some overspray of clear coat and it's still a little rough there. But all in all, until I can have it done professionally I'm not mad at it.
Just subscribed to your channel. Very informative, straight, and to point. I'm restoring my truck, and it has a lot of the problems that you show how to fix. I've saved a few videos and will definitely be using your knowledge to fix the issues. Thank you, very much.
He's not going to do that when the clear coat is fresh obviously, you need to wait for at least a week before you can do that. He probably done that afterwards :)
So quick update. I gathered materials for a rattle can job. I did find more clear coat damage all around my truck, sadly I think I will need a full body paint job. I havent taken it in yet to any shop, only looking around for prices to see what is most cost effective in my situation.
You know how to explain it short and simple with amazing results! Could you also polish/compound it on regular basis? Or will you polish away the paint, because it's to thin? Greetz from Holland!
You make this $#-+ look easy but perfect man. Inspires me to want to take some small risks with my own car. Nice work. Love it and thanks for the lessons.

@@lismsthebenchandthebooth2230 exactly! Every one of my clients that asks this I point them to TH-cam. There's not a thing out there you can't learn from youtube. Basically all you're doing is paying me so you don't have to do it.
@@krazykozey2259 yup i agree...its the block sanding process that usually brings them back like "how much did you want to do this again"😂😂
Sand paper, tape, paper, canned spray paint, canned clear coat. What was cost? How many coats? Was there chemical reaction with factory paint/primer? Did the paint match? Of all colors only black is universal! But fade? I'm not in anyway in auto body. But I've seen many cheap paint jobs. This is just another gimmick! If you want to try. Try on a model car. If it doesn't work, at least it was cheaper than a real one!
Best paint/body repair channel on TH-cam by a long shot. Mad4Motors have every topic covered so far that related to my cars damage... lets just hope I can do it right!
Very direct video with no goofy music. Nice!
Yes sir, thanks 🙏
Why do TH-camrs always have to add stupid music especially to videos of how to do things. Go Hollywood, go home.
A few tips..
- Once sanding is complete, PUT ON GLOVES. Your hands carry many oils, and washing them won't fix this. Touching the panel with your hands will transfer oils and compromise your work.
- Clean panel with wax & grease remover on a clean lint free towel. Be sure to get all of the panel edges. Open adjacent panels (hood, door) to get to the edges if needed.
- Mask off your area (if required), clean the panel again, then tack it.
- Start your spraying in the "hard to reach" areas, such as the edge of the fender that's next to the hood, the edge by the door, the edge by the headlight, and the underside of the fender (wheelwell arch). Your normal back and forth spray pattern will most likely miss these areas. If the clear doesn't "envelope" the entire panel, and falls short on one edge, guess where it's going to peel first?
Just some constructive tips, otherwise you did a good job. Judging by the fact that it is a 10+ year old Hyundai, you just wanted it to look better, which you definitely achieved.

They're also good for storing household documents, photos, and birthday cards.
Stay tuned for next week, when we talk about cardboard boxes.
@@buddyclem7328 didn't know
Good tips thanks.
Well, once you have sanded, there is no need to touch the panel.
I'm sure the dude knows you tips, but the fact he painted it on the car the way he did suggests he just wants a quick and easy job.
He should get a few years out of it, since the 2k is pretty tough.
Great points, I know very little about painting. I scratched up my firebird using too much pressure on a hard rubber fender, got lighter sand paper and went over it. But this method seems great, sounds like it will work, well done. Subscribed.
Watching this for my own girl! 86! What about you!
did you ever end up doing it? and if so how did it turn out?
Fantastic video. Straight to the point without missing any critical steps. Thank you!
I know I am 2 years late to the party but wow this is some amazing do-it-yourself work
Amazing bro. My car has the same clear coat damage... I'll most likely get carried away and repaint the entire car.
you and me both I am doing this on my BMW 99 5 series...and I am a female... lady, I must say....lololol..Tell me how did your come out?
@@IBKNW we're you able to do it on your vehicle? How were the results?

Thank you! My car is starting to look rough and I wasn't sure what was wrong until someone mentioned it might be the clear coat coming off. Definitely going to try this when I can.
Was looking for this exact tutorial as my 99 Tercel is peeling badly on the roof. Thanks for the clear, simple instructions. Going to watch your video on the hood area now.
thinking of my roof on a 2002 svt.. how'd it turn out ?
I've got the exact same car with the exact same problem! This looks amazing, great job. Something I've been thinking about doing for a while, I just don't know how much life the thing has left in it.
Now you have to paint entire body 😂😂
This is exactly what I needed to know how to do for my daughters car. Straight and to the point. Love it!!
Why can't everyone just do videos like this. No bull crap, no foul language just right to the point and an excellent tutorial.
Thank you 👍
@@Mad4Motors_ +1 There’s no need to hear everyone’s life story of why they’re doing it. Good job man.
Great results! I wasn't expecting a finish like that with a spray can. Good work!
A few more coats of clear and then a good wet sand with a high-speed polish and that paint would look like glass. Good job!
Would this take away the orange peel?
Definitely needs the sanding and polish to get rid of the orange peel and trash in the paint.
How do you do a wet sand and high speed polish?
@@SwayPromo rubbed down with very very fine grit sandpaper and water. It smooths things off and flattens the orange peel effect without removing too much of the clearcoat. Then when polished with a buffer it will shine again
TheBlaggert thank you
I’m very pleased to have come across this video, I have clear coat issues on 90% of my vehicle small areas only luckily, however, I will need to be doing the whole car .video has given me the confidence to buy the materials myself. base coat clear coat masking wet and dry sandpaper the whole lot I still save money. thank you so much.👍
did you do the job? iam willing to do on my car .I have also clear coat issue
That looks amazing man. I cant believe the results without wetsanding in stages after clear coating. Most other videos recommend alot of stages with sanding, then buffing with compound and lastly waxing. Yours look almost as shiny without anything.
I'd say it has been polished after it dried out. There are some imperfections vissible right prior masking tape removal and then the surface is litle bit smoother without those few bits at the end of the video. It has been polished off. Good job regardless
I'd say this is great for an older car or a car that isn't worth enough to spend the money on a good paint job
What? I was just getting ready to do my Rolls Royce...
You think I shouldn't then?
Abelis lmaoo *TH-cam suggestions* "guy paints rolls Royce with spay paint gone bad"
Abelis 😂😂😂😂😂 i feel bad for laughing
Eric why was that not a good paint repair.
aeroflopper i was going to do this on my benz tho
Quite amazing results and very reassuring so thanks for the instructional video. Prepping well obviously takes some time but the return for that effort is appears to be well worth it. I have a ‘95 Miata with custom pain that was horribly expensive and doesn’t come in spray cans. Hopefully I will be able to bypass the paint coat step and still get a acceptable end result.
Same here.😔
Well, did you succeed?
I really enjoyed the short and simple video. This guy didn't waste no time with all the unnecessary talking and bs.
Obviously if your pain is bad you going to go by the base coat. If your clear coat is messed up and obviously you know that you have to go by the clear coat.
This video actually inspired me to start working on my classic car one panel at a time.
He made it so nice and shiny you can see the man recording what a legend 💯🐐
The worst part of this is now you have to respray the rest of your car 😬 👍🏻 awesome job man thanks for the tips
Thank you for saving me thousands of dollars...on my way to the store
Did you ever paint your car after watching this video? I paint cars for a living and I can only imagine the aggravation a person will go through after watching this video. Hopefully it went well for ya.
did you ever end up doing it? and if so how did it turn out?
note : to get the best results from spray can paint - heat the can ( safely ) - until the can is heat soaked through to about 100* f 40-50*c this will help the paint propellants - it will thin the paint droplets and cause it lay nicely preventing orange peel appearance. still a nice job for a spray can.
Heat the can safely by putting it in a bucket of hot but not boiling water.
Heat the can safely by microwaving it for 30 seconds
@@gaara10122 safe. :D
2 to 3 min in the microwave would have better results.
yeah - good luck with that microwave idea.
Outstanding!
Today I learnt something, getting over the fear of botching it up, thankyou.
Fantastic!! Just what I was looking for. Thanks for making this so simple and straightforward.
Did you do it!?
This is dope! My 2006 scion tc got beat by the sun. Ordered all the stuff. My son is fixing it up. She looks brand new.
This is the best video on TH-cam on paint a car.
Thank you for posting this video. It was extremely informative and your instructions where easy to follow along with. It’s amazing to me that you where able to get the results you got using spray cans. Very impressive. I have this very same problem with my HHR SS. A shop in my area gave me a quote of 5k just to prep and spray the passenger fender and door. After watching your video I’m definitely going to give it a try. So again thank you for taking the time to make this video and explain how this repair is done. Thank you
How did it go?
@@ericklopezgraciano2962Fr lol (my door is peeling) 😞
Thanks for the video. I can't afford to get my old truck repaired professionally, so I am going to try this myself it's the last truck I will ever own being I have a terminal illness but this should be good enough for me.
Sorry to hear about your battle with the illness. Good to see that you are still moving forward with a strong, positive attitude! God bless you Sir!
Get to know christ before my friend!
Shockingly good results! Thank you for demonstrating that doing the job at home with good knowledge can be achieved and yield excellent results.
Haha i was hella skeptical.... but dude fuckin crushed it with rattle cans!! Haha well done brah
This is exactly what I plan to do on peeling clear coat on my pillars. Glad to see someone demonstrate it so well. Thanks.
Any luck?

@@ArcadiaVibe Have you tried this yet, Im looking at doing it for mine
Amazing! Brilliant video, results, pacing, camera work. A joy to watch and the content is spot on. More please!
I don’t know what I enjoyed more, the paint job or your accent! ❤️
I was a little worried at first when you put the base color on because of that orange peel, but it turned out really awesome. Nice work!
The clear will help hide that. As long as the clear has no orange peal. You see the top shiny layer.
The base coat will lay down
Yea. The base coat is going to put a thin coat over everything, and because gravity happens, the small divots even out.
Plus if you buff and polish it it'll really really help
Basecoat always looks like that when its wet. As long as it looks right when its dry your ok. If you see orange peel or even worse fish eyes or crow feet then you have to start over because you have contamination under the clear and will have to sand it out and then try again. Also make sure to use wax and grease remover before spraying anything to help avoid those problems in the first place.
Awesome job! Very easy to understand the way you explained and demonstrated the process. I like the way you condensed the whole thing bit kept everything needed in a very good editor fashion. Thanks for sharing!
It’s funny how I just purchase a Hyundai Santa Fe and it needs clear coat repair, so I look up videos and you’re working on a Hyundai Santa Fe! Wow!
Great video, much appreciated!

Great job.I am having this issue with my motorcycle tank.This kind of damage is very common with Honda's here across the pond. Now hyundai's pretty much have the paint peeling off completely.
Wow! Absolutely amazing end result.. and just taught me a new skill. Thanks heaps man!!
Awesome video. Quick, efficient great "to the point" how to video!
What amazes me is how you can put clear over sanded rubbed out gray back to black! Before and after certainly looks outstanding.
This worked out amazingly!! Been dreading paying for a new paint job because of the clear coat. Thank you so much for sharing this video!
ok heres the thing..simple straightforward, minimal talking, no music. top man
Dang nice job, turned out flawless
Wow, great job! The car looks amazing where you touched up. I have a small patch of clearcoat that peeled somehow on my F30 front bumper thats needs to be done. If only I can have the guts to do what I just watched from you especially the sanding process. Just don't want to screw it up and make it looking worse!
Use a high grit, like 800, so you will not damage the surface, and if the surface is not smooth then try to go lower and more aggressive grit like 600 or less. Make sure you use water while sanding
All you need is some good paint, some knowledge and some talent. Good job!
Good job. short and to the point. Ive got a football size peel on the hood of my older Kia Soul, it's baking in the Florida sun here. I used to fix my own vehicles and repaint and clear coat, just with cans, always came out fine. You reminded me that it's time to get back on the stick . Thanks. Subscribed.

Very well presented! I've watched several videos and this really gave me the confidence needed to fix the paint on my truck.
How did it go
How'd it go?
@@ghostzzz3988 I painted it last summer and it didn't look as good as Mad4Motor's 😂 lol but it did give our 20 year old vehicle a facelift. I fixed an area on the hood. It was really hard to get a good angle and probably would have come out better if I could have painted the entire hood. Its slightly noticeable, but I just wash and wax it regularly and its not unsightly. I'd suggest anyone trying this to buy good quality spray paint and take the extra time to protect surfaces you don't want painted, even practice first. I had some overspray of clear coat and it's still a little rough there. But all in all, until I can have it done professionally I'm not mad at it.
@@mimig5843 you could just sand the overspray and polish it to fix that
Impressive! Concise, informative, methodical. Thank you for sharing the material and tools used. Cheers!
Thank you for the nice comments 👍
Just subscribed to your channel. Very informative, straight, and to point. I'm restoring my truck, and it has a lot of the problems that you show how to fix. I've saved a few videos and will definitely be using your knowledge to fix the issues. Thank you, very much.
Great to here you are fixing it yourself. If you need any help at all send me a dm 👍
Fantastic results!! Well done, I am also attempting this fix on old corolla. Do you guys suggest a polish after clear coat is dry?
This gives me ASMR and im loving it ✨😌✨ great job as always 👌
Was that just water in the water bottle during sanding??
Yes just water for the wetsand
Add dishwashing soap helps with wet sanding
Very light orange peel, great job for sure!!
He could get rid of that by wet sanding the clear coat 1 more time and then polishing it :)
He's not going to do that when the clear coat is fresh obviously, you need to wait for at least a week before you can do that. He probably done that afterwards :)

Forget the body shop. I’m going on a journey to fix my baby girl Tacoma myself right now.
Update?
So....? Results ....?
Its in the shop isn't it?
So quick update. I gathered materials for a rattle can job. I did find more clear coat damage all around my truck, sadly I think I will need a full body paint job. I havent taken it in yet to any shop, only looking around for prices to see what is most cost effective in my situation.
Luckily my dad works in a body shop so a paint job is almost free
Thankyou, given me the confidence to do a good job!🤙
Confidence is good, but experience comes from own errors in process.
You know how to explain it short and simple with amazing results! Could you also polish/compound it on regular basis? Or will you polish away the paint, because it's to thin?
Greetz from Holland!
Excellent. Probably the best video I’ve seen for just such a repair. Awesome. Thank You.
Thank you! This is something I can do.
Your video is short and sweet!
Would I be right in saying the orange peel is because of how close/heavy he sprayed the clear coat?
