Hey guys just incase people really want to use this as a guide, here are some tips. **Always apply primer surfacer before and after spray putty. Wait 10 minutes between all coats. **Also a plastic primer is needed for bare plastic and etch primer for bare metal. **The primer needs to dry overnight before sanding and for metallic colours finish with 800g **Leaving the base overnight is not really the best thing to do. Spraying the clear within 30min of applying the base is the best, the pores of the base coat are still open and ready for the clear. The clear can possibly peel and have poor adhesion otherwise. Wouldn't want all that work to go to waste. **The clear from a can needs to dry overnight then sanded with 1200g and buffed with compound to get the correct gloss. Getting people keen on spraying their own car is awesome good video. Cheers
Why dont you upload videos anymore??????
Finding time is hard these days. Been working on one for a while.
I did this colour match paint job to my car using your videos as a guide. it came out great, especially your info on sand paper grits and different primers. thanks mate
I miss your videos too. I'm subscribed to your channel also. Great work you do there!
sand the clear with 1200 wet or dry? Also a fan of your videos too!
I'm more amazed by the mix-it-yourself spray paint station than the paint job. We don't have anything like this where I live.
Same here that thing was so cool
it's not usually mix-it yourself, usually it's the supercheap staff that do it for you (I think they were let at it for the video)
Lukas I just did this bro lol
Jet black 2 and i used the toyota black with 4 cans of clear looks the same to me no one can tell the difference just take your time
Adrian Maxwell I was thinking the same.
I'm so glad that after 5 years, only the common scenery changed and not the spirit of the show, thank you for everything you guys have done for us all, loving your show past present and future!
I love these old episodes so much. I'm happy they'll always be here to look back on.
People always complain about orange peels when painting with spray cans but if you do it the proper way and polish it like they did, it is in fact possible to achieve the same finish as professionnal paintjob.
Yeah man we were really impressed. And looked way better than our Honda Civic which we painted outside in the wind! Next video out we begin our 11 second build - YES!!
BSM Prod also because the paint shrinks when it dries
Mighty Car Mods Maaaaaaaaad!!
any paint gets that orange peel effect it's just people who use professional tools will do a professional job and smooth it out
+Jaronce Clavet Its been a year and all but to clear up this misconception you cannot just polish out orange peel, you mus wet-sand then polish to remove orange peel (:
Still watching these tutorials years later thanks boys for the quality and helpful content, Legend!!!!
Never seen a DIY color match booth in a supply store here in the states... *mad jelly*
I feel your pain never seen it either but hope it makes its way over here.Duplicolor would be out of business
Most paint places can color match paint and put it into a spray can for you. The NAPA near me does, and so does a local paint place.
David Fresne
The local parts shops actually just have duplicolor "match" paint. Which never actually matches the paint 100%. The NAPA by my place doesnt have this paint match tech, and the paint shops just paint.
go7roo7 Yeah, my NAPA must be weird then. The paint shop I go to has supplies for house paint, as well as auto paint. I would try talking to the local body shops and see where they get their paint from.
David Fresne
I have man, most of them say they just order it online, but again those shops have spray guns for their paint. I have searched to see the prices and most are pretty good, till you add the shipping.
I've watched you guys for many years... if not from the start, and can't believe how cute you two looked this long ago!😂 But more surprisingly, I'm blown away by how good this content still is, all these years later. Great job lads!
Good to see my framed drawing of the blue turd still lives on in Marty's Garage.
I'm doing my first paint project using this video as my guide. Sanding and 3 coats of primer was yesterday. I just went and got the color and clearcoat. I've been nervous about doing this. Thanks a ton for this vid and others.
I just sprayed the color, not perfect but not too bad either. The clearcoat recommends 48 hrs before buffing. Here in the USA, DupliColor products are the way to go.
well, that was impressive. Don't think I have ever seen a rattle can job look good before.
it's not hard.
+Aaron Cubitt Isn't that what She said though?
Chad Bremer people who do it themselves usually don’t know anything about paint theory or the techniques behind spraying, that’s why. I’ve done a year of autobody school and get awesome rattle-can results lol
@@roddydykes7053 how bout the theory of not using rattle cans if you don't want a shit quality finish
Just did a touch up of my car over the last few days, using this as a guide, car is now sold at the price I wanted and the new owner impressed with the condition of the 15 yo car!
15:44 "you rub rub rub until it looks wet" "and then you put your hands in it and its like gooey" LOL!
While I'm here for the car builds and tips I'm mainly here for the comedy these dude are hilarious. Been a fan for 5 years.
NEVER SEEN AN AUTOSHOP WHERE CUSTOMERS MIX THEIR OWN PAINT
Some let you mix if there buys but they supervise you
They most certainly do not allow customers to mix their own paint, the area is locked and only specially trained staff are allowed to do it, I’m assuming the bloke who did works or use to work there
Some of the O'Reillys in the states have that but they stand behind you and watch you
Just to let you know, its all because of you guys that i started looking for a Turbo Outback (Liberty) and has lead me to my new car. so thank you guys very much i needed a daily for school and you guys helped me greatly
If MCM had a tv show id watch every episode. Hell, I'd pay for the weird Aussie channel just to watch it.
I want it to be a TV show too. However if they were a TV show everything they did would be regulated and wouldn't be the same.
Thanks for the inspiration guys. I watched this earlier this afternoon and am now waiting on the tenth coat to dry on my pearl white y34 m45 and its already looking amazing, I cant wait to see how it turns out after clearcoat tomorrow.
Watching this in 2016 - R.I.P Gramps :(
This version of Gramps still lives. Gramps version 2 was the one that died
+zekthebassist true i forgot lol
zekthebassist Super gramps is not dead
Super gramps is now finished...legitimately finished.
What an amazing transformation it was.
They should do a best of Super Gramps video one day. It's life from start to finish.
@@Madogen Finished, what are you on about. It's a project car it's never finished 😂😂
Guys I got so far and was disappointed with my results, then I watched. You proved that where I was at was doin fine and gave me the confidence to follow through and finish what I'd started. I did a coat of clear after the base then left over night..Hopefully in line with CSM's recommend I might just pull it off! I only wish humanity would pull together in the way folks do on TH-cam! We might actually last a day without gunfire...

11:05 Swimwear new shock wave for summer
Well we did it!!! My son and I who both have little or no experience in such matters attacked the sun beaten bonnet of my 2004 Mercedes. Yes we fu&ked up a bit, but in some parts it looks amazing. No matter what it is infinitely better looking than it was three days ago and we have yet to polish/buff it. Thanks Marty & MOOG and SuperCheap Auto (Australia). The Paint was mixed to perfection.
"You rub rub rub rub till it's wet. Because then you'll be happy" 😂😭
I work at Super Cheap Auto in Perth, Western Australia.
We play this, and your 3M wrap video on our TVs around the store.
Customers love it and it boosts out profit on 3M Wraps and Paints,
Good job guys, love it:D
I like how they wore a respirator but no eye protection.
Emil Enkvist Hell, I always paint naked. If you're not naked, you're doing wrong.
***** Emil Enkvist It's not about cancer, it's about the possibility of going blind.
Colton you are a fucking spastic
Colton Blumhagen you dont know what you are talking about
I think it says right on the can: "AIM AWAY FROM FACE". Sounds legit.
This is awesome. I have rattle cans to paint my bumper that i have had for over a 1year. Now I feel a lot more confident about doing it after watching this video. Thanks MCM!
6:58 these guys are ahead of their time
This couldn't have been more timely, I'm starting this job in like 18 hours. Thanks alot
Man i wish we had a Paint store like that in the USA Dam that SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
Its not even a paint store, its just the paint section :P
Neil Chand Now your just rubbing it in
mattmopar440 Had to man, saw the opportunity and took it. On the other hand I wish I lived in USA, too many restrictions and mod laws here
I bet you don't. Everything compared to the US costs a fortune!
well your internet alone makes me want to stay in the US LOL where getting 1G Google internet by 2016
Thank you Marty and MOOG for this video and others. Just bought an aftermarket factory-style unpainted spoiler for my wife's '14 impreza and this video helped a ton!
"It's pretty ugly. Of course it is because Marty bought it..."
Wait a minute... I'm sure it was Moog that bought this car - for Marty.
I was thinking the same thing...
And it's a joke SMH
Hey fellas, I have watched every video you have made and I love what you guys do, I have watched a few videos of yours for guidance on my car.The push start button, tacho and others but recently I watched this video on spray can paint, after watching it I felt ballsy enough to try it myself and it actually worked out great.I appreciate the time you guys take to make these videos, keep it up guys love you work.
4:53 THE HEADLINE ON THE NEWSPAPER THO!!!!
Priceless. I wonder if they put that page there intentionally..
I was wondering whether anybody else noticed it! Just offhandedly chucked on a car to receive paint - 'Villagers rounded up and massacred' - holy shit.
My Name is Not Skrillex w
lmao
wot
JUST IN TIME. Been stripping paint off my EG hatch and was going to get paint in a few days! Thanks MCM!
Im new to this so let me recap:
Step 1 clean car
Step 2 buy stuff - matched paint code color, sand paper, spray bog to fill spots, masking tape, newspapers, waxing grease removal, garbage bags, respirator, primer, filler primer, base coat/clear coat, buffing coat/polisher.
Step 3: wax grease removal your car, mask everything off, put bags on tires.
Step 4: sand down car, apply primer. Do about for coats. Sand it back so it's smooth. Apply a filler primer. Check with hand for smoothness.
Step 5: spray base coat over primer slowly. Once base coat is applied wait 12 hours then add your clear coat.
Step 6: once clear coat drys apply a buffer/polisher.
Is this the correct way to do it? Please help lol
MARTY & MOOG PLEASE NOTICE!!!!
I'd love so much to see a 5th gen Toyota Celica on the show! Also, a tutorial on making a custom intake system using a K&N Pod filter?
Thanks guys LOVE YOUR WORK!!
I used to own a Holden Commodore VS but you two MAAAD guys are what brought me into the MAAAD JDM scene! I now own a 1992 Toyota Celica SX :)
Thanks guys
I feel like its been like year since last episode :)
Hey guys, I repainted my fading roof with rattle cans and it looks maaaddd!! Thanks for the video. You guys are awesome.
Surprised they didn’t mention around 4:35 the reason it’s better to remove the panels, if you’re doing a full job, is to get better coverage on the edges of the panels, and run less risk of it peeling from those edges in the future
Also both Marty and Moog have some major mistakes with their spray technique, Marty was too close and fanning it, and Moog was just whipping his arm back and forth lol. Supposed to keep the nozzle exactly parallel to the surface you’re painting, and move about a foot per second, little bit faster or slower depending the thickness of coat you’re on.
Still a fun watch, there aren’t more entertaining car guys on the entire planet
*Edit:* the techniques got way better over the course of the video lol
First time watching you guys. Just have to say that you guys personality and creativity makes your videos funny and interesting!
It only gets better from here lol
My boyfriend said he would do this for me, but it's been a while...I'm just going to do it myself! :P Thanks for the easy, and well made tutorial. (Coming from someone who fears any type of self car fix) Wish me luck- I'm doing it today!~
Update: It's finished and waiting for a test drive. Thanks for the great tutorial. It's not perfect, but it looks pretty damn close.
thanks guys fr all your mods, i got my licence 2 weeks ago and im rolling around perth in a sweet Nissan r33 Skyline turbo, it has the ipad dash, turbo, vinyal wrap, its awesome even tho i do get picked up by cops everyday for safety checks, thanks alot guys
I tried painting my car yesterday and it looks like poop.
lmfaoooo
Probably because you did a lazy job in the prep.
Tugboatpb it's not an easy thing to do it has allot of technique to it. if your using a compressor fill the hopper with whole milk and practice on cardboard. goodluck
I did as well 😂🤦♂️. I'm gonna go get an electric sander that was my problem.
I've watched this a few times since it came out, I am always surprised how well that came out
The thing about rattlecans is, the run out of paint thing usually happens before the good coverage thing.
then you have to go get more.
And then you have screwed up bits where you ran out.
And then you have to sand more.
And then you have to waste more paint.
And then you run out again.
And before you know it, that 20 dollar rattlecan job has 200 dollars of body filler and primer and paint and clear on it, and still looks half-assed.
Oh, and then the wind picks up and you get a crap finish, waste a bunch of paint, and you get overspray all over your car.
And after a while your crappy rattlecan paint fades in and matches your car for like a week, and then it keeps fading....
Just buy more than one can
I dont know why but I like these episodes much more. Hey and if ya'll have not joined the forums you better get there!!
onamonapia. that's not what a wizz sounds like.
these guys are comedic geniuses.
+xXAUSTYNN 11Xx onamonapia is the name of a song by rio the rapper it's on sound cloud search it up fam lol
Good to have yous back lads.
So I got a replacement fender from a junkyard and it's a different color, I have to sand it, apply coats of primer and then spray the color matched paint right? Or can I just spray the paint after sanding?
nah its got to be primed
Rad video,once this stupid "winter" thing we have in Canada is over I've got two cars to put up for sale. This video plus your video about restoring rims is going to help me get the maximum value out of these mid 90's relics, and that's saying a lot because I used to drive one of them through the bush trails back home.
5:30 should always cover the rest of car with old sheets. zero overspray. get them cheap at a local thrift shop.
so good to see MCM back to its DIY roots
I wish I had the balls to do this to my 04 STI. I'm going to practice on the front splitters first haha.
this episode brought back the old good mcm days
how much did all that cost?
at my body shop we would charge around 800 bucks to paint those 2 things. the results here came out pretty good. i would suggest doing yourself if you're paying for it or if it's a cheaper car...anything over $20K would go professional or if insurance is paying.
How long should I let each coat of primer sit for?
Alex McClure ? I thought it was at least 9?
+Alex McClure Lol :D
this video is so upbeat, but the "Villagers rounded up and massacred" at 4:50 really kills the mood lmfao
I made my own paint booth with 2 pop up tents and lots of plastic sheeting
Aldi gazebos for the win
I am happy for seeing you again with your crazy grate DIY .
Not that i do not like the other tips of videos but this ones makes me come back in time to the time i start watching you :D
bigg hug from Portugal
11 sec turbo s2000
Making everyone watch you watching paint dry. Magic.
:( I dont like that they arnt gona be tuning up the wagon...
we will be!
D= YOU'RE CONFUSING ME!
Russell Robinson thats what the whole gramps project is them tuning it and making it a drag car, theyre just not touching it in this video
Creedford I posted that before they kicked off the main phase of gramps
Russell Robinson yea i figured that like immediately after i posted that
It's amazing looking at that car and knowing what it later becomes.
I was kinda looking forward to 11 second Gramps... I'm pretty sure you're just gonna turbo the S2000 to make it an 11 second car. Imho, that would be lame as fuck because it wouldn't be a sleeper at all, which is the whole appeal of the idea. I hope I'm wrong and youre not doing the S2000 for the 11 second build.
EDIT: Thank god they still did a Legacy :p
Has always been Gramps for the 11sec build. look up 'Marty's New Car' to see what they start out with..
HJZ75driver Look at the video you just commented on and watch it till the end, geez... They say they won't be doing Gramps for their build.
Have a look at Moog's face...he's not serious. Unless the X4 Sirion is going 11seconds...that'd be something different.
lol
TheDiscoPotato Guess I was wrong lmao :P
I put off painting the door on my Grand Prix waiting for this video to come. Now I can get to work!
if that sander was from outer space it would be an electric space wizzer..... eh? :D eh???
Also helps to warm the cans in some hot water to bring them up to a warmer temp if its a chilly day, and it makes the paint more likely to mix in the can.
How much did a can of that matched paint cost? There are no such stores here by Miami at all! That Autostore looks like out of this world!
I think it's somewhere around the $35 dollar mark, and the primer was probably $20.
Bulgdoom Yoooo did you find it yet? I just went to Advanced Auto Parts and they had my paint for my mkiv GLI. (Tornado-Red) I'm about to paint my front lip and side-skirts. It was around $30 for a can of paint, clear coat, and sand paper. I'm in Miami too lol
TheDesoulateEntity Didn't know they did it, I've actually wanted to match paint for a boat and airplane. Still, theres a lot less paint options than their store, and no such custom machines.
Bulgdoom I used automotivetouchup com for my car, around $30 for a can and it matched perfectly on a 10 year old car. They obviously don't cater to boats and planes but if you can find a paint code from a car with the color you want then I would highly suggest giving them a try. They sell just about any size you could want also.
Bulgdoom Super cheap auto is the store they went to in Australia and to be honest it's not that great. Any paint shop with a colour spectrometer can match paint for you. Just take off something like your gas flap (fuel lid) and they use a device that can determine the colour by analysing the light.
Any good paint store should be able to do this for you. Good luck, even I'm surprised by the result of what they achieved with rattle cans.
Just used tutorial to prep, paint and clearcoat my civic bumper.
Thanks MCM.
6:19 - IIVIIVII ??
"chopped!"
Great job guys the car looks so much better and it was fun watching you do it.
11 second s2000?!
It would be easier, a lot less weight
*****
They posted a 4 second video on their facebook. You can see s2000's brake mastercylinder, behind the turbo they got for gramps. So they did turbo Honda.
Really well done, impressed, we don't have these spray can mixers to auto match in the USA, or at least over by me.
4:50
"Villagers rounded up and massacred"
its really amazing how good these guys are with rattle cans. serious talent.
marty should be the next brian o'connor
supa hot fire who's Moog gonna be? Han?
+supa hot fire
no.
*repeats "cans", points @ chest yo*
this still makes me supprised how good it loooks
fed up of school, fed up of bullying for liking cars. come here I'm better
Sam Jaggard just wait till theyll pretend theyve always liked cars ;)
Come to my school
Who bullies somebody for liking cars? Lmao
Sam Jaggard Bullied for liking cars??? Wtf is going on in schools nowadays?
Chris Watson It's all those chemicals they're putting in the water!
not only are you boys cute but you just made my finishing my paint job that much more calmer and easier I'm going to follow all your directions and if I remember I'll send you pictures
Why did this just get recommended to me?
Keep the vids coming, its been a lifetime since your last one. :)
Rubbing things to make them wet...
excellent taping with the newspapers , i always did it like this but you gotta watch for those little holes punched out on the one side of the newspapers
keep rubbin it till its glistening wet. WTF ahahaha ^O^
good to hear moog still says one to many sentences. great video as always guys
V II V II V II. Haha
CHOPPED!
Holy crap! That color match system is badass!
its about time MCM!!
If your feeling a tad lazy or in a hurry , sand , spray , coat. in that order so the rust is exposed and buy a quality brand of paint that you trust (that doesnt crack or peel) rustoleum has always worked well for me along with kryon as far as brands go. when I really get into the piece I'm painting ill sand , spray with rust reformer so any miniscule holes get filled , lightly sand that. spray primer , main color and clear coat . when I'm goin all out fun light one color and nother light coat of another color to "mix" on the top of the first paint coat for added lines or to bring out the second color (I'm american so sorry for my spelling of how you'd spell colour) then plenty of clear coat so scratches wont show as easily and can be filled later with a turtle wax clear coat filled pen if it gets a scratched white color :)
+benson420710 You sir, should just stop trying to paint things. If the steps listed above are processes you actually perform to paint things made of steel... just put the Rustoleum down.
The odds of ending up with a mismatch between the fender-door/hood is pretty high if your not blending out your color. Following this process using 2-part aerosol cans (contain a hardener) would greatly improve the quality and durability.
Wow great work guys I have been looking into doing this on my bumpers and you guys just happen to have a video on it awsome! now I just have to wait until spring lol
i missed you guys
hey guys..do you remember in which episode was the ''turn around like a robot' dance? i would love to see all the episodes again to find it but i don't have that much time..
greetings from greece!
This helped me so much on painting practically anything.
i didn't expect that to look so good, well played
I know this is a real old video, but woooooooooooo this is sick!!!
Moog is full of surprises
Awe I love you guys! I've had a rough day and watching your video, like always made me feel a lot better. So thank you so much! Please keep up the awesome content, really do love your videos.
Loved this episode, definitely going to give this a shot on my 96' Celica, which has a poor paintjob! thanks!
