You've demystified body and paint. My issue at first was my prep. I now spend every moment necessary for prep and the results speak for themselves. Thank you for taking the time to make all the videos.
Your tips and sharing your skills and knowledge have been a great help to many of us! However I know how much work it takes to put your videos together on top of getting your jobs done for your customers. You are appreciated but for sure do what is best for you!
Your spaying motion is so perfect and hypnotic! Watching you paint the side of that bed with the surfacer was just awesome. Glad you're going to continue making videos! I've done a few body repairs and painted a few cars because of your channel. THANK YOU for your inspiration and for sharing your knowledge and techniques.
Please do not close down the channel i really enjoy it i only watch 2 paint channels yours and sprayway that you recommended i love them both keep up the great work definitely want to see the future lowrider you said was coming thanks again
Same here only two people that explain things clearly because of them I was able to spray a candy 3 stage for my first job the nsx Valencia red and it was all possible because of them two all of the tips and tricks are so helpful I’ve tried watching other channels but I feel like they’re quality isn’t comparable
Perfect timing! My son and I are getting close to prepping his car for paint. Did a lot of metal work, so I wanted to use epoxy. I think you answered every question I was about to have, in this one video. Thank you, Sir!
Good job you’re right a good friend of mine said after he primes he puts it outside in the sun and brings the car back inside so it doesn’t get raining on waits a couple of days before sanding thanks for video God bless brother
I love your channel bro. Thank you for your videos and willingness to teach and showing us how you do things. Im really thankful and grateful for your time and knowledge. Keep it up man.
I love watching your videos and picking up your knowledge. I've painted before with varying degrees of success but now I can see where I'd gone wrong in the past. You've motivated me to get off my ass and finally do the tri-coat colour I've always wanted on my car. Thanks Pharraway 👍
nice video, thanks for the tips. I paint for a living and it's always good to see how other people do things and I like your videos on metal flake because that's a new thing I'm just now trying.
I am a 68 year old retired F.F. from La. I had a younger brother who like you was a great car painter! But I got him on with me at the F.Dept., & later he got a Cancer which took him away from us all!!! So don't have him to ask ?'s to anymore! But I wanted to paint my truck a 98 Chevy C.C., & thought I had watched enough U-tube to do it!!! Well I totally messed up the roof, I thought until I saw one day your video on how to do a Flow-Coat. I tried it & it came out great, you are a good teacher & you need to be on U-tube way more than some who are on here!!! Love all your video's my brother keep going your are doing great at teaching us, ur pal, Al!!!
I missed ur community post. NO WAY u can ever quit TH-cam. U help create painterZ like me!!! Glad u like ur plateZ man and that we all get to keep learning from a true master🤘🏻
It’s hard I tried to make videos and paint . I can’t do it I love to paint and be by myself. Well my painting was my hobby. And still it is . Give this Man, some credit painting, and making videos and editing and sanding
Another good video with lots of useful info, it's surprising how quickly bare metal will flash rust if it's not treated correctly as even in a hot climate the humidity will make it rust. It's great to hear you are going to continue on TH-cam, I think all your followers really appreciate how much time and effort it takes to make these videos so a big thanks from me Pharraway👏🙏👍John UK
I did some sand blasting in high humidity. A old car body will start to rust b4 I got it all done. My Pap used something on it but I can't recall what it is. I use Eastwoods after blast if that will be an issue, or if urr doing a project and will not have all metal bare at same time. It's a life saver. If u want a easy way just store bought white vinegar will elite any surface rust. Or a phosphoric type light acid. Tannic acid is gr8 and alot safer than others. There are a lot of products now for this. I wish I could recall what my pap used. He applied with a cotton rag and didn't need gloves, ppe etc. I was just a kid in 80s. Have a gr8 day.
I too pretty much quit my channel it just became to costly and not feasible to sustain a painting channel especially posting frequently it just became overwhelming and under appreciated. My views were extremely low and became not worth continuing , I started to do tiktok and found a bit of value from it as it is easier to post short videos that are to the point, perhaps focus on making shorts to boost your views and outreach . Glad to see you still spraying and doing what you love. Take care brother
My Brother i just started getting into painting and i want you to know that i appreciate you because im a better painter today beacuse of the things ive learned from you.. Glad your still here.. More life and strength to you and your family..
Aww man yea don’t quit you have been helping me now I been working on my cars myself and learning from you as well as others but I do love your work bro thanks and yea don’t quit keep it up 💯👍
Sorry for the late comment. Please continue with your videos. You are easy to listen to, and ive learned a lot watching the videos. Thanks for all your advice !
Glad you're staying around to teach us newbies how things are done even though I'm in Australia 🇦🇺 I learn a lot from you, do you have a po box I can send a rego plate to you.
We are glad you did not quit. We love your teaching tips and we value your advice in helping us to love painting cars. You are really an excellent teacher and we appreciate your continued help! Keep being positive!
Got to say, I learned a lot from u and ur channel. I just picked doing automotive painting on the side by watching ur vids. They help out a lot. I may not always comment but when I have time to watch I always leave a like. And I always go back to watch old videos , keep doing your thing brother
You are one of the few expert painters on TH-cam that has thoroughly explained and recorded the entire process on how to perform an expert concourse paint job with the epoxy, base, 2k Primer, 1st phase clear coat, inter coat / flow coat, and then the final full clearcoat process. Awesome videos!!! Very very good!
My friend I have learned so much from you I have just painted my first motorcycle and will soon be painting my first car all learning from you, I live in Australia and there is nothing like your site here, keep up the good work mate
You are a God Send my Friend …Thanks For Sharing Your knowledge and tips with the rest of us, Very much appreciated …. As always Make It A Great Day Brother ❤️🙏✝️
Thanks for sticking around I appreciate all the tips and tricks you teach I’ve now painted a lot of skateboards two golf carts and I think I’ll have my first car to paint here soon Thanks for sharing
Yes I’m glad you did this video it really help me out a lot wondering could spray primer surfacer right after it thanks for the help great job and I just seen the no name spray gun you help me out on that too nice thanks again keep it going
Urechem says the primer will only shrink if you use the wrong reducer. They told me that using slow reducer and Gardner will make it shrink. Slow reducer -hardener also isnt listed on the technical data sheet as an option for you to use
Hey Primo, have you ever tried HOK (house of color), for me it goes on very consistent, (the same every time), it really helps this "old gabacho" get great results. Blue Mule NC
Amigo.. ayuda por favor. Usé el .ismo epoxy primer pero tuve un inconveniente y no pude terminar de pintar ese dia y ya pasaron 3 dias y hora mi pregunta es, necesito poner otra capa de epoxy o solamente usar el sealer y ya despues la pintura? Y si necesito poner otra capa de epoxy primer necesito lijar y con que tipo de lija?
I am building a 65 Nova, do you have any advice on how to get rid of the peeling paint inside the cowl area and how to paint inside that area? The only areas I have found to get into part of the cowl is through the kick panels and through the blower motor intake hole but there is no way to get hands up to the top area of cowl to sand. I do not want to paint over the peeling paint in there and want to make sure no rust starts in there. I am learning a lot from what you show can't thank you enough for all the teaching. I don't know if you done a video on primers, could you do a video explaining the different kinds of primers and what you would use them for. My paint skills for decades come from out of cans, I want to get into the paint gun world lol On my Nova I am going to jump right in and do a Brandywine candy with skull lace running from the hood all they way to trunk. Go big or go home lol. So I been watching your how to candy non stop and will keep learning until Jun this year when weather is good for me to paint then its go time. Thank you again take care...
Hi awesome information great job I was wondering wen you bog / body filler what was the surface under the bog I notice it look like a 2k primer or ? Thanks Michael
Ok cool I live in Australia 🇦🇺 I’m used to using protec 4 to 1 mix epoxy primer and it drys quickly if you bake it at 60 degrees you can then block it sand it use body filler over it protec epoxy is perfect for bare metal it’s a cheaper Ppg paint and use it as a base primer never put body filler on bare metal anymore once repairs are done I either put 2 more coats of epoxy over it again or usually just go a high build primer autothane which is Ppg and then base and clear coat but protect epoxy also can be used wet on wet as well in a commercial side of things like trucks and buses I’m into restoration of muscle cars.
Dude, don’t quit. You are a good teacher and I enjoy your content!
You've demystified body and paint. My issue at first was my prep. I now spend every moment necessary for prep and the results speak for themselves. Thank you for taking the time to make all the videos.

I have considered it but haven't applied it yet
always top notch work thumbs up
Thank you sir, always watch your videos, keep it up Brother
Stay in it brother
I'm with you bro.From "SAFE CHICAGO".
I notice you spray epoxy primer over some older paint/primer? So it's not necessary to remove everything to bare metal?
No it's not
Urechem says the primer will only shrink if you use the wrong reducer. They told me that using slow reducer and Gardner will make it shrink. Slow reducer -hardener also isnt listed on the technical data sheet as an option for you to use
Another good video/how to.. keep them coming brotha!

What grit sandpaper did you use to prep for the epoxy?
Dang the spi epoxy i use calls for 48hrs of curing. I need to try this stuff

*I knew that thing would take a good prime as well as you had it all ... **_feathered out._*
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the lessons
You do great job thanks
Perfekte Arbeit. 👍👍👍Österreich
Danke Bruder,
Nice work, very little overspray, is that because you keep the gun so close?
yes it is
I always just wait 20 minties with that epoxy before primer and I’ve never had any problems with it
Hi awesome information great job I was wondering wen you bog / body filler what was the surface under the bog I notice it look like a 2k primer or ? Thanks Michael
Good info man
From what I see if you have a lot of bare metal and some old sanded paint epoxy will go over them both?
Me recomiendas aplicar epoxy primer antes de aplicar el bondo o aplico primero el epoxy y luego el bondo (masilla)?
de las dos maneras trabajan amigo
What grit sandpaper do you use in succession to block primer surfacer? Thanks
180 grit and move to 220 ,320 and 400 final
Ok cool I live in Australia 🇦🇺 I’m used to using protec 4 to 1 mix epoxy primer and it drys quickly if you bake it at 60 degrees you can then block it sand it use body filler over it protec epoxy is perfect for bare metal it’s a cheaper Ppg paint and use it as a base primer never put body filler on bare metal anymore once repairs are done I either put 2 more coats of epoxy over it again or usually just go a high build primer autothane which is Ppg and then base and clear coat but protect epoxy also can be used wet on wet as well in a commercial side of things like trucks and buses I’m into restoration of muscle cars.
Could you tell me what sandpaper you used to apply the primer? thank you and god bless you.👍🏼
320 grit
Soon I can help ill do more want my taco painted by you one dayb
Have you ever used restoration shop epoxy primer by custom shop?
Not yet!
