I am 67 years old and learning how to spray. First off you are a wonderful painter as you have a steady hand and great vision. But the reason I wrote this message is to commend you on how well you explain what you are doing. You have taught this old dog some new tricks and I am very pleased with my progress. Just wanted to thank you.
Toyota looking like new money now King 👑 I don’t get a chance to spray single stage much but when I do I enjoy it. We all get runs man, that’s just part of the field 👍🏾
Man same thing happens to me on them single stages. Even the best of us get them dam runs. Salute for even showing the errors. I do the same thing in my channel show the good the bad and the ugly. the fast hardener and medium reducer should have been fine. I do that combo as well. Sometimes what I'll do is mix up all my paint and at a few drops of accelerator then let the paint sit for about 15 minutes so it starts to kick. On smaller cars like that one of course. Man I got a big ass run to wet sand out Monday when I get to work 😒🤦🏽♂️🥺 good job king keep em rolling 💪🏼
I thought about letting it sit for a little bit to kick in but I was ready to get this one done bro but I definitely have learned that when I rush something is bound to go wrong 😂 appreciate you checking out the video bro 💪🏾
I'm not sure if you've answered this or not, but how do you set the r500 up for single stage? I see you spray it at 26psi, I'm curious about fan, and fluid settings. I just got the a610 after watching your videos, and can't wait to try it out. Thank you for these videos.
I actually show my pressure in the video and my compressor size is a 21 gallon that I have showed in other videos, also I sprayed with a 1.3 tip, I appreciate you checking out the video 💯
Unlike base and clear coats your first coat being a tack coat on single stage should have little overlay. Once the tack coat flashed off then go to a heavier overlay. Even still, your doing a great job!
The white looks good on this car. I know you got the skills and everybody gets runs but I still like to do a dry run on the car I'm working on. Just so i know where i wanna go next and where my wierd angles come in. Like that back spoiler. Under the headlights to. Still came out nice. Be blessed
im about to start buying a compressor and gun for my first spray job... doing up an old Landcruiser over here in Australia.. everyone keeps telling me i cant do it without buying a 12 CFM/300LPM or higher compressor what sort of specs should I go for in a smaller compressor? would a 50L 12CFM 200LPM compressor work? thanks for your videos mate it gives me hope!
If you know what spray gun you’re going with it’s best to have a compressor that can deliver the required cfm of the spray gun so that you get consistency in your air flow
using the cheap HF purple gun with a 20 gallon 200psi compressor do you think I can get an ok paintjob done single stage? I am painting a small car (datsun 510) how much of the car do you think I will be able to spray before compressor has to catch up? Thanks for your awesome content.
That gun requires 6 cfm to function properly so if your compressor can’t handle that just take your time and allow the compressor to catch up and you’ll still be able to get a great job💯 I appreciate you checking out the videos 🙏🏽
Chief or 49er ? you got the same Shop Line products that i use Bro, even that damn air compressor sound like mine . you had the gun too close ,it gives you runs .me too .lol
When you say “small compressor” aside from a 30 gallon tank what’s your take on a oil-less vs conventional oiled pump? Would you recommend one over the other? Much thanks!
I have used both and if I had to choose I probably would go oil-less because of no oil and a little quieter, hope that helps and I appreciate you checking out the video!
You put the first coat on too wet you need to have a cover coat in medium giving enough time between 1st and 2nd coat for the paint to have something to stick to! After two coats for leveling you can add some reducer and do multiple misting costs for leveling! You also need to have a plan in painting you were a little helder skelder!
toyota paint code 040 how do we know which cars is is single stage ?? we must ask paint supplier seller store??? also i do have A610 & they so hard to remove nozzle 1.3mm come with it, it's like super glue they glued the nozzle 1.3mm into the gun, so what is difference of this R500 & A610 ??? i can see R500 LVLP come pre-nozzle kit 1.3mm ONLy but the A610 does come with 2 difference nozzle which ready have but man can't open to clean up the nozzle cuz is so tight & almost damage the gun trying open it, i have many gun here good brand made from taiwan and good quality spary guns, but i like to buy spray fair pries with good reported spray gun made for collection 😀, so before decide buy this gun i would like to know
@@thanhnguyen4908 best way to know if something is single stage is to sand the paint with a fine grit, if color shows on the sand paper it’s single stage and if not it’s base clear. The difference between the R500 and A610 is mainly the body of the spray gun but both spray about the same which is good quality in my opinion so if you decide to get yourself one you won’t be disappointed!
@@lesliwells5433 I get it locally, I don’t know of a website that you can order from but you could look it up through PPG online and possibly find something there
One thing I learned over the years is to do the top sections first like roof , bonnet and trunk by painting each full panel before moving onto another panel and then I do the sides. Setting up the gun is very important for fan , paintflow and air pressure regulation and using a good water trap regulator as well as a water moisture and regulator right at my gun. I found 30 to 40 psi is good pressure to paint just about anything , from Raptor liner , stone chip and base or clear coats and always get great results. I also wet the floor to minimise dust. Great video
Be very careful for too much reducer also don't spray to close , a good 8" is just goooood. Moving speed and paint flow as well as pressure is all factors playing a part for a bad paint job. Some different types of paint can also play a part.
Dude, you spray with both hands? Dang that's talent right there sir! Hope you find a chance to spray a red single stage or black one day soon (non-metallic) of course.
Love these videos - this may have been a $700 car. Super tiring to hear folks say you need a $2000 compressor, $800 gun, and $3000 of PPG paint on projects like this. Auto paint hobby is full of elitist snobbery. This looks great and probably triples the value of the vehicle. Really appreciate your content.
Thank you.... I'm getting ready to spray my old 1990 Chevy Z71.. std can... short bed step side... WILL ONE GALLON BE ENOUGH??? counting on your EXPERIENCE .. T I A
That would depend on the product you go with and the mixing ratio as well as how well the product covers, it’s possible that a gallon may work for you but you may need more depending on what you’re doing
Man..i don't know how you do it.. i got a r500 and trying to paint single stage, either it comes out too dry and orange peels or if i try to get it wet enough to be smooth i get insane runs... making me nuts
@@UndergroundPaintKing Just annoyed.. soo much prep work and blah :) I tried more less material.. and running 20-25 psi.. i might need to practice some
I show the psi at the beginning of spraying the car and here is a video on how I set my compressor up to be able to spray, I appreciate you watching the videos! th-cam.com/video/G0CYIwbSmGo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PYqSn4vY5F6idnX_
Think of it like spraying clear on a cold day !!! spray 1st coat and check your paper to see how tacky it is before shooting your 2nd round (temperature can be your friend or enemy ) you got this don't sweat it
So glad you showed this. Since I don't have a garage. I'm thinking about shooting my car one panel at a time. I know it'll take forever and I'll use more materials. But I'll probably be shooting outside with a small compressor. I figured if I do it one panel at a time I can take my time and make sure each panel is straight and clean. Then spray 2-3 coats of single stage white on Saturday. By Sunday I can get it ready to go back to work Monday. It's gonna take a few months. But it's better than rushing and messing something up. After it's all done, if it needs it, I can sand it and put another coat on the whole car. But if I take my time I shouldn't need to
One panel at a time works fine with unicolour paint. That's how i do it too, because i have no paint booth and, making a huge mess and a big cloud for all neighbours to watch, the landlord will throw me out. And because i don't paint enough to get routine. Avoid this technique with metallic. The flakes tend to look different each time you spray. With metallic better do one side at a time, according to body lines. Edit: i see, you don't have metallic anyhow. Simple glossy white is great for diy. Glossy black not so much 😆
I enjoy you being honest ! Helps for beginners to understand that mistakes going to be happening and not to be afraid to deal with them . They are part of the process . I would also say it’s more easy to fix runs than to cut and buff the whole car because of orange peal . Your gloss was spot on !
The issue with using a small compressor is that the air gets way to hot and the paint dries to fast and by the end you start getting defects in the paint laying down
I haven’t had that issue yet and I’ve done quite a few paint jobs with my small compressor, and a few here on the channel but I appreciate the info, it may help someone else.
@@UndergroundPaintKing I’m gonna paint a Freightliner tractor white single stage in a couple of days. Do you think it would be entertaining if I used my two pancake compressors and the R500? I’ll use my water extraction contraption, so I don’t have to worry about water in the air…
@@UndergroundPaintKing I got both w/hoses & Couplers for $230. Combined they put out 8CFM @ 40PSI. I’ll run the R500 at 35PSI for acrylic enamel, so it should be nonstop…😉
wow you managed a whole car in one go with a small compressor, didnt know that was possible. How big is your compressor in this video? Mine is 50litres (11 gallon) so hoping that's enough. Thanks for the vid!
My compressor is a 21 gallon compressor and depending on what you’re spraying you would be able to do it with your compressor, you mainly want a compressor that will be capable of handling the paint gun
The Spray it R500 and AeroPro A610 LVLP guns are not big booth fogging material hogs lol like the HVLP guns There is one trade off i can live with which is the fan width. What i paint a narrower fan width actually works better for me plus not nearly as much overspray with LVLP. I am curious as to how many times you had to reload the hopper for one complete coat? #upk
I’m shooting my Silverado soon if I need to put my money where my mouth is. Not a problem. I’m using single stage urethane dealer replacement paint from the paint store in laguna Niguel socal. I’m spraying in my drive way I guesss Been fixing 8 spots a luisvill slugger batt found the body about twelve years ago when u used my truck at work repoing …. Only time used personal truck and had drama. Anyhow. Peace
Great job as usual I have been told to not try single stage for your first paint job.Will single stage hold up to UV rays .I will definitely b watching for more single stage.Thanks
Great work, Sir! I have a question for you.. Can both a Volkswagen LA7W Standox solvent base (+60% of acrylic thinner) and the next 2K anti-scratch clear coat (mixing ratio: 2:1+10% of acrylic thinner) be sprayed with a H-2000 mini gun having a 0.5 mm tip? Or is it required a bigger tip? I have to do only a little spot repair. Thanks a lot!
Wow, you had some issues with the runs. Did you have Taco Bell for lunch? 🤣😁 On a serious note, perhaps you should have sprayed a light "1st coat" to give the 2nd coat something to "bite" onto for less runs.
😂😂😂 I stay away from Taco Bell at all cost 🙅🏾♂️ that could have been my issue and I’ll try that next time I spray some single stage, appreciate you checking out the video Joseph!
Love the Videos UPK, wanted to pick your brain on painting an auction purchased crown vic that has white doors and front and back is black. I want to paint it a solid black color, would you suggest single stage or BC/CC. How would you tackle such a difference in colors on the body panels. Should I prime the white with tinted primer and then spray the whole car black? What are your thoughts....
I honestly think either way, bc/cc or single stage would work great for what you want to do and if you simply have to sand the panels with no bodywork you could possibly paint the whole vehicle without having to prime or seal anything but it just depends on the condition of the vehicle. If it’s a simple sand and paint I probably would paint the white doors first and get good coverage on them then continue with the rest of the body until I have good coverage. Hope that helps Denis!
No reducer my rear end hieny haus. You are super heavy handed. U laid down a lot of material. Few runs is getting away with murder. I know because I to tend to put more then under coating lol. But yes 2st pass no reason to go heavy. Single stage is fun and easy. U go light to medium then let it kick for ten min start to get ready to light to medium pass. Wait 20 min ish give final and usually last round. I do 4 layer I call it with single and it’s got some depth dog. Give it a try u will be suprised what u can do with a single stage mix. Doesn’t have to be applied ine pass fyi as many as u feel to ur liking. It’s gonna cure in same time all as one thick surface so do ur thing but yeah good job meng.
About to spray my 02 Mustang GT. Ive been a little afraid to mess it up but i appreciate the videos. Factory color is E9 which i believe is metallic or pearl-ish...
1st car i painted was with Omni single stage on a 70 VW Bus... with an under powered compressor, had orange peelnfor days... i color sanded it for 2 days but it came out like glass when i was done, i learned a lot about shrinking metal too when doing sharp dents
"why are my hands so ashy?" LOL brother.. you painted without gloves 🤣 Great video! Thanks for helping my concerns of using single stage with the LVLP!
White is fine. But other colors just don't hold up in shine after a year or two in hot sun. And don't mix bends of hardened, reducer etc with paint. Use all the same brand. This can make the paint job last much longer
Back my stage days we use to cover primer spots first then 1 medium coat and the last coat was heavy as possible would come out great no buffing at all you did a great job on this thanks for posting
UPK I really enjoy your videos and learn and you are one funny man and I mean that in a sincere way of course. Hey, you got to have some fun too right! You did not get upset with those runs and I would be crying and saying, well you know!! Probably a mixture of things causing them. Update on my R500/A610. Went through customs and it's in LA.
Thanks I appreciate that Danno and it’s really not worth doing if you’re not having fun doing it, whatever it is in life that you’re doing! I’m glad to hear that you are getting closer to having your spray gun which will be when the fun starts when you get to do your painting 💪🏾
Nice job bro. I can’t wait to paint my car I have to wait till the summer. Here in Washington it too cold. Do you have the website you buy your paint from.
Thanks I appreciate you Rafael and I get my paint locally but you can check with SPEEDOKOTE, a lot of people talk about it and use it and hopefully that weather will break for you soon 💯
best way i found from doing garden paint jobs is to either do it when its hot out or in a heated garage of if you're doing one area heat with a heat gun before hand or what i do is dont go so wet , put lots of coats on and sand and buff later or mist the first coat then go heavier each coat
Can someone please show me the link to the adapter and kit for the disposable paint system to fit the A610 or the HF Spectrum adapter and kit for the A610 please.
@UndergroundPaintKing yeah I went on HF app and found it all. Thanks my brother. This 2007 Silverado extended cab going to look awesome in High Gloss Single Stage Nardo Grey. 👌
I have heard that you should put on a "tack coat" first. Very thin without covering the color below, then wait 15 minutes and put on the first cote. What method did you use?
King another great video. Thank you so much sir for doing this for us. questions I have 1. Is single stage easier to do for beginner or or 2 stage (base and clear)? 2. Why do you want to do single stage vs 2 stage? 3. Do you think for classic car single stage is better ? 4. Does single stage last as long as 2 stage? Maybe if you can do a video explaining advantage and disadvantage of each?
It depends on what you plan on spraying honestly, solid color single stage can be easy for a beginner but metallic single stage can be difficult but with base clear it can be a little more forgiving with different techniques when it comes to spraying metallic. For a lot of people, I believe cost plays a big factor in choosing single stage over base clear and when single stage is done right it has a great finish. I honestly can’t say that single stage is better for classic cars, I think that’s really determined by what kind of finished product you’re looking for. If both are done right and kept up with, and maintained I believe they both will last for a long time. I hope that was helpful and I’ll try to to do a video on this subject Borna Nel
@@HumbertoSosa-ss1mj normally whatever the recommended window time is from the manufacturer is, you want to stick with that depending on what catalyst you’re using but if you go past that window, then you would have to cut the color to add more coats
Depending on how your gun flows out the paint and compressor specifically weather temperature humidity all plays a part Typically I use a slow to very slow reducer out of a 1.3 hte gun The gun settings also play a part 2 bars cfm material wide open till hits trigger full fan open First coat med wet Let the reducer flow the paint while it dries Next coat medium heavy Last coat if needed before it dries still semi wet throw a fast wet coat that's it
I like both and use them for different reasons so I don’t really like one over the other, one I use for small compressor use and the other for big compressor use
it's funny, usually when you pull the trigger on your paint gun, your air compressor comes on 3 seconds later, but not today, i seen in another comment you said your regulator might be acting up. car still looks pretty good, and no orange peel
Thanks Ed I appreciate you checking out the video and I’ve changed my regulator so I’m gonna see if that helps, I think the reducer helped it flow out nice!
I love your videos! You have taught me a lot. I run two 20-gallon compressors connected together. Do you use a fan for air circulation? Whatever you use, it seems to work great! I don't see a lot of overspray in the air.

Do you reduce all your single stage ? I have a rp500 and everything I spray I keep getting heavy orange peel

Sounds like your issue might be distance and speed and possibly might need to turn down your fluid knob if you’re putting on too much material
@@UndergroundPaintKing Just annoyed.. soo much prep work and blah :) I tried more less material.. and running 20-25 psi.. i might need to practice some
what psi you set your gun to and psi on compressor?
I show the psi at the beginning of spraying the car and here is a video on how I set my compressor up to be able to spray, I appreciate you watching the videos!

Here is that video Ted

Dude sounds just like ice cube!😂 Good job tho bro
😂😂😂 I keep being told that! Appreciate you checking out the video!
What makes it the clear coat is it the hardner that u add to it
It’s already mixed in and the activator makes it harden up
How small was the compressor that you used?
My compressor is 21 gallons David
How much labor does a job like that cost me?
How much would it cost you to do the work yourself?
Using both hands! That's why your the paint king!
Thanks Gomer I appreciate that 💯🙏🏽
Think of it like spraying clear on a cold day !!! spray 1st coat and check your paper to see how tacky it is before shooting your 2nd round (temperature can be your friend or enemy ) you got this don't sweat it
Thanks for that tip I’ll definitely keep it in mind when I spray some metallic 💯
Can you spray clear coat over single stage
Yes you can, it’s not something that I do personally but I have seen others do it
So glad you showed this. Since I don't have a garage. I'm thinking about shooting my car one panel at a time. I know it'll take forever and I'll use more materials. But I'll probably be shooting outside with a small compressor. I figured if I do it one panel at a time I can take my time and make sure each panel is straight and clean. Then spray 2-3 coats of single stage white on Saturday. By Sunday I can get it ready to go back to work Monday. It's gonna take a few months. But it's better than rushing and messing something up. After it's all done, if it needs it, I can sand it and put another coat on the whole car. But if I take my time I shouldn't need to
You have a good plan and it should work well for you!
One panel at a time works fine with unicolour paint.
That's how i do it too, because i have no paint booth and, making a huge mess and a big cloud for all neighbours to watch, the landlord will throw me out.
And because i don't paint enough to get routine.
Avoid this technique with metallic. The flakes tend to look different each time you spray.
With metallic better do one side at a time, according to body lines.
Edit: i see, you don't have metallic anyhow. Simple glossy white is great for diy. Glossy black not so much 😆
how is this gun work with gloss paint ???
It works great for base coat clear coat!
what size rip did we use on single stage paint ?
I used a 1.3 tip
What kind of gun is that also the tip size
It is the SprayIT R500 and the tip is a 1.3 tip
I enjoy you being honest ! Helps for beginners to understand that mistakes going to be happening and not to be afraid to deal with them . They are part of the process . I would also say it’s more easy to fix runs than to cut and buff the whole car because of orange peal . Your gloss was spot on !
Thanks M-511, I appreciate you and you’re right that the mistakes are part of the process and knowing how to fix the mistakes are just as important!
The issue with using a small compressor is that the air gets way to hot and the paint dries to fast and by the end you start getting defects in the paint laying down
I haven’t had that issue yet and I’ve done quite a few paint jobs with my small compressor, and a few here on the channel but I appreciate the info, it may help someone else.
Runs! WTH!! Did you let Bondo Billy paint that!🤣🤣
😂😂😂 it was all me running that paint lol
@@UndergroundPaintKing I’m gonna paint a Freightliner tractor white single stage in a couple of days. Do you think it would be entertaining if I used my two pancake compressors and the R500? I’ll use my water extraction contraption, so I don’t have to worry about water in the air…
@@OldBondoBilly that would be good content, I started with a pancake compressor back in 99!
@@UndergroundPaintKing I got both w/hoses & Couplers for $230. Combined they put out 8CFM @ 40PSI. I’ll run the R500 at 35PSI for acrylic enamel, so it should be nonstop…😉
@@OldBondoBilly nice!
What size tip did you use for this ?
I used a 1.3 tip
What size air compresor. Did u use you was saying you used a 120v compreser?
My compressor is a 21 gallon central pneumatic that I got from harbor freight years ago
That s the kind I got thanks brother paint job looks good
@@jeantaylor6785 thanks, I appreciate you checking out the video 💯
maybe try a 2 stage paint job ?
You could try a 2 stage paint
wow you managed a whole car in one go with a small compressor, didnt know that was possible. How big is your compressor in this video? Mine is 50litres (11 gallon) so hoping that's enough. Thanks for the vid!
My compressor is a 21 gallon compressor and depending on what you’re spraying you would be able to do it with your compressor, you mainly want a compressor that will be capable of handling the paint gun
Some videos made me feel like it's wrong to paint while the compressor is pumping...guess they were wrong!! Paint turned out great.
Thanks MattesGarage, you can definitely do it and I appreciate you checking out the video 💯
Work slowly and do everything possible to control the moisture from small air compressors...moisture control is the key factor.
Thanks I appreciate the advice Rick!
Sounds like ice cube
😂😂😂 I keep hearing that!
The Spray it R500 and AeroPro A610 LVLP guns are not big booth fogging material hogs lol like the HVLP guns
There is one trade off i can live with which is the fan width.
What i paint a narrower fan width actually works better for me plus not nearly as much overspray with LVLP.
I am curious as to how many times you had to reload the hopper for one complete coat?
#upk
I honestly can’t remember but if I had to guess I would say maybe 4-6 times between 2 coats
I’m shooting my Silverado soon if I need to put my money where my mouth is. Not a problem. I’m using single stage urethane dealer replacement paint from the paint store in laguna Niguel socal. I’m spraying in my drive way I guesss Been fixing 8 spots a luisvill slugger batt found the body about twelve years ago when u used my truck at work repoing …. Only time used personal truck and had drama. Anyhow. Peace
Sucks that happened to your truck but I’m sure you’re gonna have it back right 💯💪🏾
Good job 👍🏻
What was the pressure you used?
Thanks I appreciate you watching the video and I believe I put the pressure at the beginning of me starting to spray the car🙏🏽
Great job as usual I have been told to not try single stage for your first paint job.Will single stage hold up to UV rays
.I will definitely b watching for more single stage.Thanks
Depending on where you are you may want to spray clear over the single stage. I think metallic single stage can be harder but still doable
Great work, Sir! I have a question for you.. Can both a Volkswagen LA7W Standox solvent base (+60% of acrylic thinner) and the next 2K anti-scratch clear coat (mixing ratio: 2:1+10% of acrylic thinner) be sprayed with a H-2000 mini gun having a 0.5 mm tip? Or is it required a bigger tip? I have to do only a little spot repair. Thanks a lot!
Thanks Massimo I appreciate you and your mini gun should be able to do the spot repair for you
Wow, you had some issues with the runs. Did you have Taco Bell for lunch?
🤣😁
On a serious note, perhaps you should have sprayed a light "1st coat" to give the 2nd coat something to "bite" onto for less runs.
😂😂😂 I stay away from Taco Bell at all cost 🙅🏾♂️ that could have been my issue and I’ll try that next time I spray some single stage, appreciate you checking out the video Joseph!
Love the Videos UPK, wanted to pick your brain on painting an auction purchased crown vic that has white doors and front and back is black. I want to paint it a solid black color, would you suggest single stage or BC/CC. How would you tackle such a difference in colors on the body panels. Should I prime the white with tinted primer and then spray the whole car black? What are your thoughts....
I honestly think either way, bc/cc or single stage would work great for what you want to do and if you simply have to sand the panels with no bodywork you could possibly paint the whole vehicle without having to prime or seal anything but it just depends on the condition of the vehicle. If it’s a simple sand and paint I probably would paint the white doors first and get good coverage on them then continue with the rest of the body until I have good coverage. Hope that helps Denis!
I finally learned what a single stage paint is. Thank you
You’re welcome Robert, I’m glad the video was helpful!
No reducer my rear end hieny haus. You are super heavy handed. U laid down a lot of material. Few runs is getting away with murder. I know because I to tend to put more then under coating lol. But yes 2st pass no reason to go heavy. Single stage is fun and easy. U go light to medium then let it kick for ten min start to get ready to light to medium pass. Wait 20 min ish give final and usually last round. I do 4 layer I call it with single and it’s got some depth dog. Give it a try u will be suprised what u can do with a single stage mix. Doesn’t have to be applied ine pass fyi as many as u feel to ur liking. It’s gonna cure in same time all as one thick surface so do ur thing but yeah good job meng.
Thanks I appreciate you checking out the video and giving me those tips!
About to spray my 02 Mustang GT. Ive been a little afraid to mess it up but i appreciate the videos. Factory color is E9 which i believe is metallic or pearl-ish...
You got this 💯 good luck to you 💪🏾
1st car i painted was with Omni single stage on a 70 VW Bus... with an under powered compressor, had orange peelnfor days... i color sanded it for 2 days but it came out like glass when i was done, i learned a lot about shrinking metal too when doing sharp dents
Nice 💯 sounds like it was a fun project
"why are my hands so ashy?"
LOL brother.. you painted without gloves 🤣
Great video! Thanks for helping my concerns of using single stage with the LVLP!
😂 appreciate you checking out the video and I’m glad it was helpful 💯
Enjoyed the video! You keep saying "small" compressor. How many gallons is yours?
Thanks I appreciate you and my compressor is 21 gallons
White is fine. But other colors just don't hold up in shine after a year or two in hot sun. And don't mix bends of hardened, reducer etc with paint. Use all the same brand. This can make the paint job last much longer
Thanks for the tips, I personally don’t mix brands but I’m sure that’ll help someone that sees your comment
Back my stage days we use to cover primer spots first then 1 medium coat and the last coat was heavy as possible would come out great no buffing at all you did a great job on this thanks for posting
And we ran the paint often cause single stage takes longer to dry and its heavier
I knew it was a possibility of me running that paint but I’ve never been scared of runs 😂 thanks Joe I really appreciate you checking out the video!
2012 Camry here in single stage white from the factory looking to have re-sprayed. Where are you located?
I’m in Michigan
UPK I really enjoy your videos and learn and you are one funny man and I mean that in a sincere way of course. Hey, you got to have some fun too right! You did not get upset with those runs and I would be crying and saying, well you know!! Probably a mixture of things causing them.
Update on my R500/A610. Went through customs and it's in LA.
Thanks I appreciate that Danno and it’s really not worth doing if you’re not having fun doing it, whatever it is in life that you’re doing! I’m glad to hear that you are getting closer to having your spray gun which will be when the fun starts when you get to do your painting 💪🏾

Nice job bro. I can’t wait to paint my car I have to wait till the summer. Here in Washington it too cold. Do you have the website you buy your paint from.
Thanks I appreciate you Rafael and I get my paint locally but you can check with SPEEDOKOTE, a lot of people talk about it and use it and hopefully that weather will break for you soon 💯
best way i found from doing garden paint jobs is to either do it when its hot out or in a heated garage of if you're doing one area heat with a heat gun before hand or what i do is dont go so wet , put lots of coats on and sand and buff later or mist the first coat then go heavier each coat
Thanks for those tips Sam💯💪🏾
your talking is good my friend...your thorough and its how you teach other...talking and showing...thats what makes you great to watch...
Thank you Lito I appreciate you 🙏🏽💯
4 white , 1 gloss and 1 hardener ?
Yes, The mix ratio is 4:1 but it’s 4 parts paint and and 1 part hardener and you can add 1 part reducer to get the paint to flow out if you want
OK .
Looks good enough to me! I’m looking at painting my old Dodge pickup with a single stage. You showed me that it can look good too! Thanks!

@@JustAGuy781 you’re welcome 💯
I have heard that you should put on a "tack coat" first. Very thin without covering the color below, then wait 15 minutes and put on the first cote. What method did you use?
You can do a tack coat which does help but I went straight to laying paint
King another great video. Thank you so much sir for doing this for us.
questions I have
1. Is single stage easier to do for beginner or or 2 stage (base and clear)?
2. Why do you want to do single stage vs 2 stage?
3. Do you think for classic car single stage is better ?
4. Does single stage last as long as 2 stage?
Maybe if you can do a video explaining advantage and disadvantage of each?
It depends on what you plan on spraying honestly, solid color single stage can be easy for a beginner but metallic single stage can be difficult but with base clear it can be a little more forgiving with different techniques when it comes to spraying metallic.
For a lot of people, I believe cost plays a big factor in choosing single stage over base clear and when single stage is done right it has a great finish.
I honestly can’t say that single stage is better for classic cars, I think that’s really determined by what kind of finished product you’re looking for.
If both are done right and kept up with, and maintained I believe they both will last for a long time.
I hope that was helpful and I’ll try to to do a video on this subject Borna Nel
Thanks for the video. I'm going to be painting a railroad speeder soon and im brand new to paint guns. Probably going to be using the PPG 7-line
You’re welcome and I’m glad the video was helpful, good luck on your project 💯
My brother on single stage paint can I add another coat within 24 hour or do I need to cuff it again before adding another coat ?
@@HumbertoSosa-ss1mj normally whatever the recommended window time is from the manufacturer is, you want to stick with that depending on what catalyst you’re using but if you go past that window, then you would have to cut the color to add more coats
@@UndergroundPaintKing am using kirker single stage paint ?
@@HumbertoSosa-ss1mj I would check with kirker and see what they recommend, you might be able to find a Data sheet on the product you’re using
@UndergroundPaintKing just don't look as shine I wonder if I cut and buff the gloss look better what do you think champ
@@HumbertoSosa-ss1mj you can always try a section to cut and buff and see if that gives you the results you’re looking for
Depending on how your gun flows out the paint and compressor specifically weather temperature humidity all plays a part
Typically I use a slow to very slow reducer out of a 1.3 hte gun
The gun settings also play a part 2 bars cfm material wide open till hits trigger full fan open
First coat med wet
Let the reducer flow the paint while it dries
Next coat medium heavy
Last coat if needed before it dries still semi wet throw a fast wet coat that's it
Thanks for the info Paul, I really appreciate you🙏🏽💯
Which one do you prefer between Spectrum Hvlp and this R500?
I like both and use them for different reasons so I don’t really like one over the other, one I use for small compressor use and the other for big compressor use
YES ! Finally , lol Im sure I asked a few months ago if we could have the sprayIT spraying single stage,thanks UPK ,you a legend.😀👍🏾👌🏽
You’re welcome Malcolm I’m doing my best to help out my people and I appreciate you rocking with the channel 💯💪🏾🤘🏾
it's funny, usually when you pull the trigger on your paint gun, your air compressor comes on 3 seconds later, but not today, i seen in another comment you said your regulator might be acting up. car still looks pretty good, and no orange peel
Thanks Ed I appreciate you checking out the video and I’ve changed my regulator so I’m gonna see if that helps, I think the reducer helped it flow out nice!
I love your videos! You have taught me a lot. I run two 20-gallon compressors connected together. Do you use a fan for air circulation? Whatever you use, it seems to work great! I don't see a lot of overspray in the air.
Thanks Bill , I appreciate you watching the videos and yes I have a exhaust system in my shop that keeps the overspray to a minimum
I bet the customer wasn't complaining its single stage paint this not a real paintjob lil light buff we out !! 💯
The customer was very happy with it! I appreciate you checking it out 💯
