There are some posts on the web showing their superior work and how easy it is but they have those top of the line booths and other equipment that are not available to the average garage like yours! Their conditions are second to none and never show issues that need corrections so the learning curve for novices is almost none! Two thumbs to you for showing your problems and the ones average people will have to contend with along with their corrections! 👍👍
Yes it's hilarious how they flex "look at me no dust in the paint " Yea and you needed a 300,000$ booth to do it 😂😂😂😂😂 I can get the same finish in my little china blow up 1000$ booth with a tiny bit of de-nib and buff afterwards.
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 don't forget most small shops are with 1 or 2 people working in it not having body men then the prep station where they pressure wash and prepare for paint then the painters helper who assists the painter before the actual spraying! That's why when you charge "X" for a paint job their price is 3 to 4 times as much as yours! Large shops = many employees = high payroll = $$$$$$$ Most of those shops are doing insurance jobs no out of pocket cash from owner insurance pays pretty good!
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 I don't know if your familiar with "The Gunman" however he always produced videos from high profile shops talking about perfect work and of course perfect conditions booth mixing rack high priced guns you name it! Now his videos are from his little garage at his house and his tone has changed! Doesn't need to be perfect, "good enough" for this job, doesn't need to be beautiful, we can sand out those imperfections, they'll have some high spots but that's ok! EVERY EXCUSE NOW NOT IN PRIMO CONDITIONS! How the worm has turned!
Prep sol is supposed to help bring dust particles that are buried within their own scratches by making them swell and get pressed up and out. Air of course works well, as well as a rinse, then several hours of dust settling plus lots of air movement with incoming air filtered to remove small birds, squirrels, pollen, gnats, squitos, dog hair, grass, hot glue strings, lint, human hair, long hair, short hair, fuzz balls, cob webs, fishing line,
Definitely very helpful happened twice to me on all over paint jobs but I’m glad you gave me that word of encouragement cause I have driven myself crazy over some past jobs because they was not perfect
Good work. When this happens to me I just sand the clear then shoot clear right over it since the base is locked under the trashed clear. Whatever works best for you is the key 👍🏻
Brother that's a beautiful finish. I've been in the auto body business 30 years and most of that time I've been painting the cars myself. You get some great results out of that little shop, perhaps even somewhat better than I'm getting out of my downdraft booth. Keep up the good work.👍
Excellent repair vehicle, I just had this happen to a full body paint job, talk about a nightmare! I was right with you ready to quit painting for life. 😂 This was an excellent inspirational video to keep us motivated!
Loved it,,,, always said if ya get it wrong best thing is ya can sand it and start again,,,, mind you I'm not a tradesman so I don't do 20,000 paint jobs for customers
I have a question that I cannot find the answer to. So my Uncle just painted his Road Runner with a royal blue single stage that he says has the clearcoat already premixed into the single stage. So with that being said, I never really polished and corrected this type of paint. He has sand marks on the doors still and they didn’t buff out. How the hell do I cut, buff, polish this paint? It is a damn headache to work with! Lol. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys. Great video too!
Good save👍 That would have made me @$&!#! For a minute, but gotta get right back to it and get it done! Got some new Speedo-products in this week for my "rusted Jimmy job" Got bag of glazing putty, the clear sealer lockdown product, and some SMR 42. LONG way from being ready for clear, but really looking forward to trying it out👍 Would you recommend 3 coats if i'm going to wet sand and buff it?
Big Mac Marco! We're glad to see you truckin! Tyvm👍 Can you PLEASE ask Speedokote, in our behalf, To NOT discontinue their aerosol BLENDER???!!! We mobile techs are hurting really bad w/o it😫 PLEASE 🙏
Of all the various Speedokote clears, which clear will give me the longest window to cut and buff with? I barely have enough time to paint my car in-between work on the weekend, so I need a clear that will allow me weeks or more to go back and color sand when I have time.
Man I started a crazy regimen before a paint job and it seems to work. First vacuum every single thing you can reach on the floor or accumulated anywhere. Then use compressed air and/or yard blower to get every single piece of dust in your environment airborne, with fans back and front directing dust out and filtered air in. Then do that again. Let dust settle, vacuum again, blow again, let the fans blow for hours. Keep humidity very low and temp moderate cause using a misting sprayer I barely moisten anywhere dust might be, the plastic masking itself away from the paint, wall, ceiling, other masking, the floor under the vehicle, nooks and crannies, but very, very little, as you don’t want a rush of humidity, but if you start with 30% ish, no worries, and of course keep the infrared heat going while moistening things. If you see water running it’s too much. If you don’t see any running it’s too little. Get it? Keep air moving across paint surface, most important is a sucking side, and less blowing side concentrated on the panels. I use a fresh washed flannel fitted sheet around the back door, half open, held with bungees and spacer, and box fans frame, screwed and taped off so all income air has to come through the sheet. Better than nothing. Outwards fans need no filters. Crap WILL get through every crack and sooner or later by the fifth attempt after sanding so many times you’ve lost track, you’ll get most of the cracks and gaps sealed. I use an old radiator electric fan form a Mercury Milan hooked to a battery as a downdraft fan pulling overspray away from the panels. When I’m doing a side I put it facing down level with th rockers. Works just like a down draft, looks like an overspray waterfall getting pulled through that fan, that much less overspray, and pulls virtually none of the product going directly to the panel. Proper humidity, air flow, air temp, Ames for quick flash times, amd less exposure to dust. I regularly air spray the dust off of base coat before clear coat and it’s a lot of very fine normal dust but it all goes away cause the surface is dry so quickly yet flows out still, best if both worlds. Last bumper I did black got zero nibs, had one tiny gnat fly in, snagged it with a pitchfork, covered it with Ned t coat of clear, gone! Now, how do I bleed one corner of an otherwise glass black hood? Somehow overspray got from the passenger side application onto the already finished hood. Damn. Tried wet sanding it, touched primer. Damn, Gotta respray hoping to not need full hood respray. Oh well. Don’t know how that happened as obsesssed as I am, still made crucial mistake. Seriously don’t know how got got there, but it did.
I was working in a collision shop in the 90’s, we got a paint standards reference book from Mercedes Benz. They claimed that one dust spec every square foot was acceptable providing that you sand the nibs and polish.
You think that looks bad? Try painting a fender outside under trees with a spray can! If mine came out like yours id have been ecstatic.. needless to say i was wet sanding for hours to get it presentable. Great seeing how you fix mistakes.. i learn a ton from your vids. Thanks!
Anyone who has spent enough time in any booth will have problems happen from time to time. I’ve gotten my best paint jobs out of home made cross drafts booths verses the $300k spraybake down drafts in the dealerships I sprayed in. Go figure..lol 🤷 Nice job, love the colour!

Wow,that clear made that color shine,let me ask u this,what clear do u recommend that will take a beating from texas summer heat? Im fixing to paint my car and im was lost on what clear i should choose
Man, put one box fan on either side of wherever you are not, sucking overspray away before it can land dry. But nice. What do I know? I know it works. My only issue now is runs, and I think I’m beating that, jinx.

A professional is not labeled that don't make any mistakes. A professional knows what to do incase there's is a mistake
Correct
Great fix!

Smr42 is designed for restoration work like what you have expressed
Quick question on that battery powered sander. When sanding the car how long did one battery charge last? Thats the bower from harbor freight right?
Yea bauer, the 3 amp battery can last up to one full hour. 25-40 min for heavy sanding
I’d love to see how you do door jams and engine bays I wish you were in Florida
