Brian, Props to you. As a DIY'er I have often struggled with the concept of blending. This video made it truly understandable for the first time! You are not only an excellent artist with paint -- you are also an exceptional teacher. Thank you.
Just out of curiosity, have you ever blended with aerosol? I’m a DIY’er too and i dont know if i can even do a lot of the steps with cans.
dude i cant even tell you how HELPFUL this video is.
A lot of channels dont even cover this chip/blending topic and its something i have to do everytime i paint. im really glad i found this channel
So glad to hear this !
@@PaintSociety nice vid! Brian, why you didn't blend the bumper? and another question: what happened to the door? have you sanded it with 600-800 as the hood, but just did't show in the video?
@@BubiGTR we don’t get paid to blend the bumper and he’s 600/800 on the door
@@PaintSociety would you have to add the extra slow reducer to your base coat to blend out the edge if you dont have clear base to work with
@@BubiGTR stop asking for so much for too little, you want it perfect PAY MORE
You are the ChrisFix of automotive painting!🤙👌👏💪
Chris fix is great but some of his techniques aren’t the best repairs but works for at home
Paint Society Indeed, but what I wanted to say is that you explain everything with such detail as him, I watch every video you post and I love them! Keep up the good work man💪
I would be lying if I said I didn’t use some of his editing style.
Very informative.
My drivers door has to go in to be painted and was told blending on the rear door and front quarter panel will be needed. Now I got a good idea about the process. Thanks.
top video I am your big fan from the Balkans, I am also an amateur in this business and I study with every video
I did a respray on my rear bumper then watched your videos and then re done it, safe to say it looks better now 😅 videos are decent keep it up 👍
I’ve been looking at blending videos all friggin day. This is the one I’m going with.
Something i would like to see you cover is what happens when a car is damaged and its has had ceramic coating applied. love you channel ,so informative .
The blend did help. Difference in colors are still very visible. Now the front door is different from the back and really off on the bumper typically bumpers are different shade all because plastic. The the sun light hit the car at end is bright once it get real light it’s be more visible. For a D.I.Y would be acceptable.
I definitely imagine the final results even before the video ends , you are awesome Brian I am jealous
Been watching all your videos, I've never painted before but hope to try soon. Thanks for posting links to the products you use, that helps a lot!
You do it all, prep and paint.
I love the pre-clearing the panel idea. Makes so much sense.
The 600 grit also removes the factory orange peel creating the same result as a flow coat. New clear will have its own peel.
Nice! Great explanation of each of the steps and why they are necessary! I can't believe how many different shades there are of the same exact paint code! Thanks for taking the time to shoot and edit this video so that it's something everyone can learn from.
Welcome Fred!!
Dude great job man! Thanks for all the knowledge you hook us up with bro I really gotta look into that scuff stuff
You're videos got the best music bro keep it up
A true master at work!
Thank you Brian injoyed watching the video very informative stay safe
Just fantastic buddy. The owner will be happy.
Thanks Brian... Feeling much more confident now that I know better than to try blending to a tape line lol... Thx
Hey Brian , great video and love your work . Thanks for your videos and all the info . Be well and stay safe !
I think one of the best bits of info and instruction you give in your vids is which grits to use and when for sanding, I believe it's one of the fatal mistakes novice painters make is using too course grit thinking it cuts quicker, not realising it also leaves deeper scoring to fill.
Muy buen trabajo. Felicidades.
Nice job like usual. 👍💪💪
Learning never stops!
What a good lesson.really enjoyed it today.thank you.Brian.
Thank you thank you thank you, for continuing to improve each video and show us all the tips. Next time I’m in the booth I’m going to try to use the blending agent between coats , to my mentor it’s taboo to use in between coats
The clear base is absolute life saver ! Where have you been all my life 🤣✌
Nice video, thanks for all the knowledge! 😊 I hope you get millions of views!
You do a great job, pretty clear explanation I hope would be younger to apply all the new learning, just and old retired painter but I still living this job
A very well done and professional video and paint blend..
Great painting skills and educating ability!......Thank you!
Imagine this guy's custom creation. Just mesmerizing
Hell the insurance companies in my area fight all day long about no blending. Nothing but BS. They would only pay to do the door, not the hood.... It sucks. But great video Sir!!
Another quality video!👏🏼Keep up the great work Brian 🙌🏼😎
Thanks!
We need someone like you in the UK
Really helpful videos man, thanks and keep it up. I paint cars but l'm a student still.
I wached your videos from Mexico
This is my favorite youtube chanel for learn how to paint 👍
Just another quality video!!! 🙏🏼
Good job as always. Its interesting how you lay down an initial base of clear base but then go over it again before color, and between color coats. If I spray a wetbed, its just one coat and thats it. And even though a wetbed is good practice, i hardly ever do one. I just do first coat of color 100%, 2nd coat 50% color 50% clear base, 3rd coat, 25% color 75% clear base and dust it on for metallic uniformity. Using ppg bases and dbc500 intercoat clear base.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for showing me how it's done
nice work..
great color!
Your videos are the best hands down.
That’s a damn good job bro! Awesome blend and great technique. When I have chips on a blend I use a ez-dabber and do some touch ups before clearing. Just so it don’t look so bad.
I have done that before and the chips on a metallic always show up darker when touched up. Dries me insane
Excellent step by step tutorial .THANKS
Excellent video as always. I would really be interested in a video on how you repair rock chips, and other blemishes, short of repainting the entire hood or bumper.
You’ll need to repaint the whole panel
Thanks much for the “Detail”. Learned a lot!
Brian this is a fantastic video, very well explained and covered a lot of the questions I had in my mind ..... Thank you 👍
I've had this problem aswell. In my case case I sprayed a light grey sealer underneath a dark grey metallic. Same situation as urs where mine painted pannels turned lighter than the rest of the car. I blended and another tip I got was to use the same color but with a darker sealer. And its was a really good match. So I guess in ur case a darker color sealer would have been good and u wouldn't have had to do a second time.
Love your channel man!
Expert level infinity ❤️
Excellent explaining & camera work Brian 🙏🙏
Thanks for the video, super interesting.
Another outstanding video, you are more professional than a lot of the teachers at most technical institutes that people can learn autobody and paint. The way you explain these steps is simply way to easy. I have a good friend that does custom painting there in Penbroke Pines. He was in need for someone to clear coat the artwork that he paints on motorcycles mainly. I wonder if you would be interested on doing something like that.
Maybe if I had my own shop! Thanks for the comment!
Smashed it again man
Nice job
Great video Brian like to see how good blending happens and you’re absolutely correct I did a BMW and there was six different whites for it it mattered where the car was painted where the paint came from and what country the car was painted . Great work great video great descriptions and detail 😊
That water tip thanks Brian🙏💯🤙
AkzoNobel should support your channel, it’s way more educative than the videos that they upload. Excellent job, thank you for your work I’ve learned a lot!
Appreciate it. Big brands don’t have much social media outlets.
Really a professional job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Beautiful job, love your channel
Like always love this show and like always from San Antonio tx always smashing my like botton kaboooooooooooooom
Nice job and nice lesson
Amazing video!! Very well explained!!
I never used blending agent and I always struggled with silvers will start now
have any videos on painting door jambs? assuming its very similar to the rest of the car just curious on any tips.
Not sure how long it took to film this, but your buddy in the background certainly never broke a sweat
Mario is a great guy. Hard worker. Enjoying his lunch break outside
An extremely helpful video would be how to prep rounded panels( like vw beetle and the like) how to keep that nice curve with no flat spots, and how to trigger off and keep even hang without developing runs. Cos it's those old classic rounded panel works that are the trickiest to make look perfect.
Question: strictly about blending agent, not color. when you do the blending agent on the first time you completely cover the adjacent panels. When you are doing the wet bed with the agent, do you go to the opposite edge with it or stop in the middle.
Nice👍👍👍
Thanks. Great tutorial
I always have trouble finding ways to blend the post from the fender. Can you make a short clip or something about how you personally do it?
Thank You Teacher.
Hey Brian, silly question, could you tell us more about why you paint/don't paint the bumper on the car? Wouldn't the blend be more seamless if the new paint extended to as much edges as possible? Love your videos!
In order to warrantee the bumper and to get paint on all edges even the bottom it must be taken off and disassembled. The bumper was painted with the same exact paint that we used on the car and matches just fine
Damn B 👍👍👍
I wondered how blending was done to match pain. I guess it's just not a simple as it's made out to be.
Another outstanding job for sure.
You mentioned the use of only the Devilbiss gun on one part of the process, is that just your personal preference and can other guns be used to get the same results.
Thanks, learning lots !!!
I think he was talking about the pressure on the gun. If you have another gun you might need more pressure. I think around 20~23psi for metallics is fine
All guns can do similar. I just prefer the dv1
Top job✌✌✌✌👏👏👏👏
What is a good brand for the clear basecoat?
Great video. I know you did the sail panel for free, but check to make sure your paint manufacture covers that blend like that on the sail panel. That can screw your warranty from them. I know Ppg doesn’t cover it. That’s what I paint by the way.
I wished more shops would do more metal work vs just buying new parts. That old fender could be repaired with a good metal work. I mean this would give more bill labour to the work and the owner would keep an original fender
Question what if you need to do a panel and you are using paint cans? What are the steps? What would you use as the blending agent??
Body work is an art. Justifies the price for a real pro
Hi Brian. Is the DV1 your using the HVLP plus air cap or HVLP one. When you say 15 psi is that reading in the gun digital gauge or on gun inlet. Think DV1 reads pressure slightly differently on the gauge. Thanks for helping and learning loads from you video’s. 👍👍
What exactly is clear base? Is there a different name that it's sold under? Is it also called "Intercoat Clear"?
I'm hoping to paint a bumper tomorrow! First time doing car paint work and I've found your videos to be immensely valuable! Thank you for the great content! I may or may not do some blending on the fenders/hood. Haven't decided but your videos definitely have me more confident in doing that.
So to keep a wet coat, you only use the blending addative in the area youre blending to and not putting the addative on all of it right?
Is blending mixing two colors of wet paint before you spray? Or spraying with light coverage so that the original color shows through to varying degrees, creating a color intermediate between the old color and the new?
After your first blend coat did you then reapply the wet bed over the panels an the base you just shot ,or just in the area we're the blend would be
Another great video and agree with every word and technique you have showed.i just wish when you tell a customer you have to blend and they look and say why can’t you just paint the one panel 😳 I’ve just painted a frt end on a new bmw mineral white 3 stage and had to do 12 sprayout cards to blend new bumper and bonnet into wings etc sone customers don’t know how long waterbase spray outs can take :) great video buddy
Just explain to them it’s like touching Up the paint in your house in the middle of the wall and expect it to match.
Or when there's that chip on the opposite edge of the panel and the customer says, "Can't you just paint that too," like it's that easy and all paint matches to perfection lol!
While paint is in the gun. Right lol
me and a buddy decided were gonna setup a diy paint booth and try to paint our cars in it. is there a gun(s) you would recommend for like a one time diy project for a couple cars.
I need my camaro worked on,,
Voss Chevrolet in centerville (the dealership) messed it all up paintwork
Brian... I'm having a little difficulty understanding what exactly sealer is... Could you tell me what it is, and add some links as to what you are using for a "sealer"??
We use colorbuild sealer but you can use any sealer within your paint system.
Mp235 will work
also called a primer... in europe. i was wondering too ; )
What PSI should I use when painting with Harbor Freight Hvlp spray gun the one with the regulator that comes with it was 29 when I got it it is purple color.
@ paint society I’ve got a question for you. Burnt orange with a light pearl on it. Has 3 small chips on a fender. Easy repair or just repaint the panel?
Hi Please can you help me. I have built my self a spray booth at home. It is 5m x 5m. Please can you tell me what size extractor fan a d I take fan I will need and what is the best way to build the filter boxes to get the best effect. Many thanks Paul Strooh
Great tips thx
So I can use a heavily reduced basecoat for my wetbed?
How did you get 4 different shades did you play with the toners to get the right match because I have to do a blend on my car an I don't have a mixing bank I'm just going to the paint store with color code.
I’m confused. I’ve heard so many different things and even witnessed for myself so many different things with how clearcoat can make or break a paint job. I’ve heard that whatever your panel looks wet, is how it will look after clear coat. I’ve heard and witnessed that clear coat will not “cover” mistakes or “hide” scratches and that the panel will only looks as good after clear as it did before clear. But here you scuffed/sanded the whole hood as an extended blend zone, especially seeing as how it’s one panel and a hood at that, I get it, but you basically scuffed with high grit, then only applied clear coat? And it came out looking great? As an experiment awhile back, I was painting a hood for my Dodge Magnum in its factory Brilliant Black Pearl. I got some runs and used a razor blade to cut those out, and scuffed around the area, and to get it to feather, it ended up being the front quarter of the hood, a sizable area. I had no more black paint, and since the whole thing was an experiment, and at the time was using SprayMax2KGlamour, I just scuffed it a bit finer, went for uniformity, and sprayed the clear over the whole hood, acting like nothing was wrong and the whole hood was just fine, nothing to see here, folks. To my amazement, the scuffed area looked exactly the same as the area that had a nice glossy wet color coat. I thought it was a fluke or an illusion, but a week later it still looked great. So why do we even try so hard for a glossy color coat at all if the clear will just make almost any grit of scuff glossy? What am I missing? Is it just acceptable if the area is in excellent shape, and maybe not cured? Oops, this Acura hood was way past cured. Hmm. What’s the score? If you can clear over scuffed color coat and still get the desired result, then why do we put so much effort into a glossy color coat? I also understand that a scuffed surface will “grab” the clear a.it better, and seeing as how the clear is the finish’s first line of defense against the environment, applying to a surface with deeper grit will help with longevity. But then we paint all the time over 800-1000 grit with clear with no concern of it peeling. What gives?
@Paint Society quick question Brian, why did you paint the fender including with clear before putting on the car? I think to have closer grade of substrate, but also to use less base coat at the time of blending so as to help avoid runs?
Do they always sand when they blend ? U had a bumper replaced and they blended the quarter panels wasn’t too happy about it does that mean they sanded the crap out of it ???
Can you please do a blend without a basecoat thanks
Brian, I really could use your expertise. I just ordered all House of Kolors sealer, paint, and clear. I had a supposed pro painter paint the car. I had him stop when I saw the sealer. Its patchy, uneven, has sweat bubbles from him sweating on the car, and its tiger stripped. Needless to say, the car is back home. Hes fired. Question is, do I need to wet sand his flaws, and redo the sealer, or can i some how get around reordering my h.o.k sealer, which we both know isnt cheap. Please respond and give me some help. Ive spent 2 yrs working on this car, all to have some hack with good reviews mess it up. Please man, I want this right.
Scuff stuff I used it in school I now use Ajax powder original
Very good job! By the way, let's pretend that in 1 year the fender has to be replaced due to a minor accident: is it possible to replace and repaint just the fender, knowing the exact formula of the paint, or, due to UV rays altering the color, you have to blend the paint in the adjacent panels again?
