Every painter needs this info. Great video 🤝
Thanks SWC - I appreciate the support - have a good weekend :)
jerry thats exactly how my grandpa and my dad did it,tried and true.jerry you are the best. god bless my friend.
God bless you too my friend - always good to hear positive comments - thanks :)
Your videos keep saving me from loosing my #^*% when things don’t go perfectly. Thanks again!
You're welcome my friend - thanks for watching and enjoy the weekend :)
Its like a mirror Jerry ! Icing on the cake ! I mean after all the hard bodywork and priming and painting, buffing in the end is the big joy of bodyman.
You're right - I always enjoy washing and detailing the car afterwards - seems real easy - wo worries of messing something up 👍
Nice video! That's a really handy tip using the razor blade. I remember those little 'nib' files mounted on the small wooden blocks like those sanding blocks you used. The ones I've seen were mostly made in England or Germany, but I think they're all over. Eastwood used to sell them a long time ago.
Great work!
“Don’t you ever stop making videos “
Thanks YV - I'll probably make them for a while yet :)
When I lived in the hood, there was a Jamaican dude in the back that rented a small garage and did paint jobs for the neighborhood.
Actually my landlord waa my xlose buddy, and we would hang out back there.
Well, one day albert the painter musta been blind while spraying clear on a ram pickup because there must have been about 20 runs down the bed side ,like 6" long. 😂
Thays when i mentioned " i saw this razor blade trick, youve got nothing to lose albert"
We scraped for a couple hours ,he wet sanded a litrle and in the end it came out pretty good.
Freaks people out to mention taking a razor to it but it works great!
That's a great story Mr H. Always interesting to hear stories from peoples' lives. Love it - thanks :)
The razor blade trick really works good and can keep from having to redo a panel. Putting masking tape on the corners of the blade can help to avoid scratching into the clear coat. Have a good weekend
Thanks for the tip Greg - always good to hear from you my friend. You have a good weekend too :)
I had to mute during the razor blade scraping.. with my speakers that was as bad as a chalk board lol. Great video
I was wondering if someone would be annoyed by that 👍😊
Excellent video! I sprayed my hot rod last summer and had several runs in the single stage enamel. Now I know how to fix them. Thank you.
You're welcome 😊
Thank You for your video
It looks very simmer to the way I did it 40 years ago on enamel paint mostly different names on products and wet sanding. That was the last I painted any cars and I was in my 20’s.
That's exactly how my boss did it 40 years ago - you're right same process different product names :)
I enjoy watching your videos
Friend of mine is a detailer and what he uses as a wax and swirl remover is Arco corn starch he says that it is much cheaper than wax and 1 box will probably do 12 car's or more
Interesting... thanks for the tip Tim :)
A lot less mess doing it this way👍 perfect Finnish,👍
I like the razor technique, I always used a dirt nib file to knock down runs, great video Jerry!
I'll have to give one of those a try one time - thanks for checking it out UPK - hope all is well :)
@@LakesideAutobody all is well Jerry, enjoy your weekend!
Thank you again Jerry. Have a great weekend!
👍😊
Great tips as always - thanks Jerry! I learn every time I watch your videos. Getting ready to touch up my 56 - hopefully won’t need this but chances are I will!
There's always something that needs attention - that's just part of liking cars I guess :)
Please keep these great how to videos coming.
👍🛠😊
Well done Jerry!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Great tips.
Thanks Bluesman - always good to hear from you :)
Thank you for another great video. I really love this channel
I appreciate that my friend - you're welcome :)
Great video as always Jerry, have a good weekend my friend 👍
Thanks PSG - you too. It's already too hot down here :)
@@LakesideAutobody Wow ! Coming along out here
Nice job. I go between using a blade ad a denib file depending on the run. As usual, you make it look easy.
Have a great weekend, Jerry
I never used a denib file. What's the disadvantage to one of those?
None really. They're a bit expensive for what they are but they work really well
Nice little video looks great keep up the good work
Thanks 👍 - have a good weekend Brad :)
Great video and job brother! 👏👏👏😊
Thanks Ryan :)
Great video
Love the channel, a lot of great tips. What DA and dust extraction system did you use here?
All tools and materials are listed in the description. No dust ext. sys. used but a good one to think about is this one - th-cam.com/video/DjFTeKwrRmI/w-d-xo.html
Great job, i must try the 800 i always 1000, 2000
My dad used 600 then buffed and he worked at a dealership. That was the lacquer days though so maybe lacquer was softer and easier to buff after sanding.
Thanks for the video!
👍😊
Great work, runs and sags are a pain in the butt, especially as you can't really charge for your labour time spent fixing them, I've reduced the risk by only opening my fluid tip by two full turns and thankfully I'm still getting a good finish but I accept that system may not suit everyone
👍🛠😊
Good to know there is going to be a lot of this in my future. I have an off topic paint question I just bought a project truck and it has many touch ups done with spray cans do I need to sand all of this off before doing a base coat clear coat or will primer sealer or epoxy primer handle it?
Well... I guess the best answer is "it should" but... if it is in really good condition and the guy who did it, used the correct procedures then you DA sand and prime right over it. Just check it out really well. If the paint is not peeling, chipping, etc., you could probably get away with priming over :)
Thank you for your time.
@@davehowland5270 You're welcome :)
How long after spraying the clear until I can start repairing the runs?
Thanks for all the great videos it has helped me a ton.
The next day if a hardener/activator was used correctly :)
Here's an improvement to the razor blade method taken from cabinetmaking. Take the razor blade and chuck it into a vise, then take a round shafted screwdriver and push over the edge of the blade in one direction with the round rod making a burr. This is how cabinet scrapers are sharpened. If you want to get a visual idea of what I'm talking about look up on TH-cam sharpening a cabinet scraper. This tool will now cut much faster than just the standard single edge razor blade alone and takes only 30 seconds to make. It's much faster and works great.
So you will use it in only one direction now right?
@@LakesideAutobody Correct. You want the burr in the direction of travel to scrape off the run. I also put a small bend into the razor blade so that the center of the blade is the first part to hit the run and to prevent the edges of the blade from digging in. When my best friend opened a bodyshop business I made several of these for him and put about a 1/4" of tape on each side/edge of the blades. I told him I was giving him "training wheels." I picked this trick up from Kevin Tetz who made the Paintucation Videos. As you get more comfortable with the scraper blades you can eliminate the "training wheels."
@@satamanschmidt3428 I've heard of using the training wheels - never tried it though. I'll keep this in mind and give it try next time I get a run - which won't be long probably🥴 Thanks my friend - have a good week :)
Soooo I finish the paint and clear 2 weeks ago I started wet sanding with 1000 and on the tape edge it turned very white. I am not sure if I will have to refinish that area or the whole job I stopped to wait in your advise. I still have to use 2000 and buff . It’s shiny pearl white 🤷♂️
Wonderful video. I was certain that the last step was going to be applying a clear coat finish. Little do I know. I notice you used a lambs wool pad initially. Do you feel this is always a better alternative than the foam versions that Harbor Freight sells? Can you wash the lambs wool and reuse it? Kind Regards. Craig
The one I use is old. You can keep using them over and over - just run a screw driver over the pad while the buffer is running after the compound and polish dries. They make a pad cleaner like with little star wheels but an old screw driver works just as well. I think I show it in one of my buffing videos :)
@@LakesideAutobody Thank you so much. Craig
What sander was that you sanded with the 1200 grit ? Seems to be attached to a vacuum. As always great work
Here's a video on it - th-cam.com/video/UkHEiVPZXY8/w-d-xo.html
Open the door like you did say you can get all the compound spatter on the interior
Don't spatter the compound :) With practice you'll find it's possible.
You have skills 🫵💪🏻
I have got very good at that as I paint pretty runny lately...lol
There's a fine line between orange peel and runs - rather be on the orange peel side then lightly wet sand and buff :)
@LakesideAutobody the paint I bought would not dry I finally put a fast reducer in it and solved the problem. Restoration Shop brand single stage urethane 4 to1..needs to be 4 to 1 to 1 with fast thinner then it works as it should...just incase you decide to try it...thanks
@@chucktripp5722 Thanks - I have used that exact paint before but in the summer and it dried pretty well but it was about 75-80 degrees out. Thanks for the information Chuck - I 'll keep that in mind if I use it in colder temps - have a good weekend :)
@LakesideAutobody it was 85 here and took 1hr and 15min to tack up lol
@@chucktripp5722 Wow! Interesting....maybe high humidity? Not sure why it took so long to dry. Good you found the cure though :)
When taking out a run from an Acrylic enamel paint job - how long after painting should you wait to do this process?
If using a hardener you can carefully do it the next day. Wait 2-3 days to be really safe. If no hardener I'd wait a week or so just to make sure :)
Good video Jerry. You know there’s two sides of a razor blade. One side cuts one side scrapes without gouging.
Really.... How do you know which is which?
If you look at it close you can see one side is flat. The other side is cut on an angle.Try using it like your taking pin stripes off of decals. Switch sides you’ll feel the difference.
@@ginoconti-wl8hx OK - cool... - thanks for the information - have a good weekend Gino 🛠🌤😊
Granted heat gun or eraser wheel for pin strips or decals. But sometimes the old razor blade does the trick. You’ll see the difference one side slides along the clear one side wants to gouge it. Try it out.
@@ginoconti-wl8hx Thanks - got a lot of negative comments (see vid) on what you are talking about but you're right sometimes the razor blade does the trick - th-cam.com/video/CuvAJbSARNU/w-d-xo.html
Are you going to detail the inside
Yes - these little focuses are very nice cars - this one has heated leather seats and steering wheel! Good gas mileage too 😊
its funny how people think you just spray a perfect finish....Its all before and after you paint were the work is.
The best body man / painter is the person who is very good at fixing stuf that goes wrong - 'cause it will 🥴 Thanks for stopping by Mike 😊
Here's a tip. DONT GET RUNS!! I haven't ran anything in years,lol. I do leave the clear hanging on for dear life,but it never runs.
I'm willing to bet you get runs 👍🛠😊
How bad is it putting the slip on rocker panels on a 2011 equinox
I've never used the slip ons but I'm sure it's got to be pretty straight forward - probably a video on it somewhere :)
How soon after painting single stage can/should you fix a run?
As soon and you can sand it w/o smearing it. Really.... as soon as your wet sand paper can start sanding it. Probably 10-15 minutes on a warm day :)
@@LakesideAutobody damn, I painted Thursday night. Will I still be able to correct?
Nib and cut! Buffen ain't easy! Thanks
You're welcome Bill :)
