Hi Guys. Respectfully, to those of you complaining that Kevin is talking too much: Keep in mind that his target audiences are "Newb" enthusiasts as well as young people that have interest in automotive vehicle maintenance. These aren't targeted towards seasoned collision repair techs, or weekend car warriors. That's why he doesn't use terms like "Delamination", or "Iron Oxide" excessively and keeps the terminology to a minimum. I've been in the business a number of years and, while he does make an occasional mistake (who doesn't), his vids are good. Unlike some training vids from manufacturers, he's not boring and keeps your attention. It's hard enough as is trying to get today's younger generation to put down their IPHONEs and encourage them to learn these trades. Kevin manages to connect with them.
Spot on! I remember watching Kevin on Trucks, and a few other shows on TV when I was younger, yet another reason I got into the collision repair industry. He has a good way of breaking things down and making analogies to help newcomers understand. This is such an interesting field, with SO much to learn, and it's ever-evolving. I don't think this generation really understands how BIG the demand is in the field, how well it can pay, and how much fun it can really be.
+dropinbiking92. .... ... ... I second that. I'm one of those n00bs and am absorbing as much info as possible. Even if it's tangential to the actual task it's rounding out a store of information that creates an understanding of the "why shit happens the way It do" in my head. keep up the long windy high information calorie overload.
Yes! I'm a not a painter but have been trying to learn. During these videos even I can find myself thinking, "I'm not sure thats the best way," BUT, at least I am able to completely understand what he is trying to teach. He doesn't assume that the viewer already knows. If its not always the correct method, at least I'll know the right questions to ask to find the right method rather than being completely lost.
I think you are right! Back in the 70"s clear coats lasted. In fact they advertised you never need to wax again. I had 2 cars over 14 years and never waxed them. They looked much like the day I bought them when I traded them in. Today I see clear coats cracking with delamination regularly. I also think it is the poorer quality paint that expands in the heat causing the clear coat to crack allowing uv rays to penetrate the paint. Or a paint that expands in the heat and a clear coat that can't.
I always put masking paper on before the rolled edge, that allows you to more easily to roll back edge of making tape for second light coat and then pull tape off and dust with edge blender
hi kevin just wanna say love the vids. i have a little issue...my car was recently painted and one spot came out a little dull...is it ok to use can clear on this spot?? if so...should i wet sand..or just blast over it when it cures??
nice job, the only thing Kevin is that you should mask the car with paper first and than tape the edges, because after you spray sometimes you have to remove masking tape right after you sprayed
buy the sheets of activated carbon for cooker hoods and cut to size the last alot longer than 24 hrs ! you get both whole and black charcoal sheet filters for 7 bucks uk
Is the color off on my monitor, or are you using regular masking tape? On your show car that already is having clear coat peeling issues? You didn't whet all the tape. Especially if a car has been repaired and/or repainted you are inviting disappointment into your life. Spend a couple bucks more and get the right tape. The right tool for the right job.
Ya mean, Planned or Engineered Obsolescence. The designed failure point of a product which is usually around 6 or 7 years... like for household appliances. It keeps people working in the parts industry while wasting a lot of materials. Good thing for recycling ahy?
I bought a 2 year old Mercedes that was sitting on a dealer's lot for 7 months that was near a freeway. The horizontal surfaces of the car has what feels like sandpaper granules embedded in the clearcoat, maybe 6 per square inch. I'm guessing that it was a result of acidic fallout particles from the freeway that bonded to the clearcoat. I tried buffing with a moderate rubbing compound which got some of it off. I then went to a slightly courser rubbing compound, which was probably a mistake, as it got off the remainder of the particles, but left a few swirl marks. The swirl marks are not just chemical residue on the surface but microscopic scratches in the clearcoat. Is there any fix to this problem? Can you buff out these kind of scratches?
ok guys its a live stream for chrissakes, if you think you could be better in discussing the dynamics on a subject that is probably one of the widest and openly opinionated subjects in all the world right on the spot, in front of a camera.... well then be my guest! otherwise, shut the heck up please.....
I am hunting for info on fiberglass. My son wants his corvette painted and have a clear coat put on, but Maaco told him they would paint it, but couldn't put on a clear coat, because it won't work. Why?
Let me start by telling you what Maaco is saying isn't true at all. Maaco doesn't know what they are talking about. They're also a terrible "in and out" shop with low standards...at least it's like that here. Shooting fiberglass is different than a steel car. You need to shoot poly surfacer before primer (so the primer has something to stick too, it won't stick to just the fiberglass) then primed, based and cleared. Before any poly surfacer can be put down, all the body work will have to be perfect since fiberglass with shrink and expand a lot more than steel. Any imperfections and the surfacer will bridge over the imperfections and over time with the body shrinking and expanding, the paint will start to delaminate, causing little blisters which will lead to the clear coat peeling. I've seen what happens when a paint job hasn't been prepped properly. I have a 62 Corvette sitting in my shop right now that had that, not to mention very sketchy repairs done. If you're going to get a Corvette painted, and it's fiberglass, you may want to spend a bit more on a paint job. The materials aren't cheap, and there's quite a bit of labor. In the end it'll be worth it, and you wont have to worry about painting it again for quite a long time.
Informative. But really speaking out of the box, this really shows how some of us are allowing our egos to pull us into fanatic expensive illusions of paint perfection pursuits when we as a society need to focus more on practical living.
You could just sand that area squirt some paint then shoot some reduced clear on it then sand and buff that area I wouldn’t use a 40 dollar can to fix a small spot
He is trying to sell where is the final part ? If your going to sell something that you believe that works you should show it part 2 just goes to your website ...
When they did the body work on the Camaro you pointed out the sanded flat spot in the front bumper then you guys painted over it instead of fixing it , black car lol
Are YOU an Eastwood Guy? Check out this video from Eastwood to find out: Dangerous or Just a Fast Way to Cut Tags Off a Shirt? Don't Try This - Are You an Eastwood Guy?
I'd really like to see videos where it doesn't take 20 minutes of talking to show me how to tape. It's waaaaaaay too much talking for the amount of the data I get from this, despite me being absolutely new to painting anything. It could have been a 10 minute video for the whole process instead of three part video with all the yapping.
Anyone notice the cough ? I wondered if that's through lack of protection using this stuff ? Also the "moment" he has with his camera guy ... Guessing it was over the fact camera man wasn't wearing a desperate mask !?
This guy talks way too much. I wanted to learn about clear coat repair, instead now I know about every product that Eastwood sells. I gave up halfway through when I hadn't learned anything that I needed to
I know. If you clean the wax, silicone, etc off of the damaged area and feather-edge properly, you can repair the area as good as new. And it will last for years. All without using his products.
yes we all know you should just repaint a pilling hood. I don't care if 100 done right. what some one show us how to repair the clear coat with out base coat.
OMG, within the first minute I've lost interest because he keeps giving himself and his shop props for doing what everyone else does on TH-cam...post videos and stream live...smh
Agree with other comments... This guy talks WAY TOO MUCH. You take 20 minutes to do what you could do in maybe a third of that. Going to look for a more concise video.
Do the work - do what you said you were going to do "How To Repair Clearcoat - Kevin Tetz Shows the Best Way To Fix Paint" - Stop the wasted time blabbering. Really wished you stayed on Spike.
Half way thru, still don't know what he is doing. Didn't name the cleaning products, windex and what was in the spray can? Why not do it on a car that had an area or color (white?) you could actually see more clearly... shoot! I have watched 100 of these TH-cam vids and STILL I don't know how to repair paint that peeled off clear coat white car. Its almost like they don't want you to know how to do it. I give up!
It originally aired Live. This is the recorded version of that broadcast. We now have Live broadcasts on Facebook and TH-cam at 3:00 EST every Wednesday. We usually broadcast Live 1-2 other days per week as well.

He masked, grey scotched pad the area, shot it with clear coat can. Saved you 20 minutes.
Thank you for making a very long story, very short.
Blah, blah, blah (F---!) get to work!!!
I love this guy. I really appreciate what he does. Thanks Kevin! Please keep 'em coming. Much respect from the Philippines. :)
Good video, thank you to Youttube for giving me the 2x speed button....made the pace of the video watchable
I love how they really show you cool stuff I would recommend them

Thanx Kevin for a great set of videos , they really helped me a lot on prep and painting .
This was LIVE?!? What are the odds, I clicked on it precisely when it started.
I always put masking paper on before the rolled edge, that allows you to more easily to roll back edge of making tape for second light coat and then pull tape off and dust with edge blender
Thanks for the great commentary. Appreciate the life time of knowledge.
Can Eastwood 2k clear be applied over Dupli-Color gun metal gray?
18:28 Kevin, one of your fellow video stars, Leonard Hofstadter is not embarrassed about his glasses. You shouldn't be either.
hi kevin just wanna say love the vids. i have a little issue...my car was recently painted and one spot came out a little dull...is it ok to use can clear on this spot?? if so...should i wet sand..or just blast over it when it cures??
these videos are great very helpful. thanks eastwood
i see alot of comments that tell me that they dont have patience to be a professional at anything
nice job, the only thing Kevin is that you should mask the car with paper first and than tape the edges, because after you spray sometimes you have to remove masking tape right after you sprayed
I tell people , about my glasses,.is ;
It's not that I can't see,. I use them to see better in details, . Lol keep up the great work Kevin.
buy the sheets of activated carbon for cooker hoods and cut to size the last alot longer than 24 hrs ! you get both whole and black charcoal sheet filters for 7 bucks uk
Thanks for making these kinds of videos..
where do u buy the 5 for 5 drop clothes at?
if there is excess clear coat we call it oil drops here how do I take care of that to level the height and smooth the affected area
Thank God for your videos
Does eastwood have auto color match 2k spraypaint. If so, where can I get it?
4:45 Why can't I sand and then re-clearcoat when you do exactly that when doing body work?
Love this dude! Badass video man. Saved me LOTS OF MONEY. My 05 suburban was peeling horribly and now..... She's clear no peeling 😎😎
Much respect Eastwood love the products, and thanks for the videos
Is the color off on my monitor, or are you using regular masking tape? On your show car that already is having clear coat peeling issues? You didn't whet all the tape. Especially if a car has been repaired and/or repainted you are inviting disappointment into your life. Spend a couple bucks more and get the right tape. The right tool for the right job.
how recent are the techniques in the paintucation videos?
Ya mean, Planned or Engineered Obsolescence. The designed failure point of a product which is usually around 6 or 7 years... like for household appliances. It keeps people working in the parts industry while wasting a lot of materials. Good thing for recycling ahy?
20 minutes of just talking... This could've been done in 7 mins and provide all the important information while actually doing the job...
Thank you for letting me know this video is a waste of time before I say through the whole thing
Yep...kind of annoying
I bought a 2 year old Mercedes that was sitting on a dealer's lot for 7 months that was near a freeway.

Try to clay the surface with a harsh clay to remove all the contaminants out of the surface.
doesn't the fine overspray dust dry before it even settles?
08:45 important stuff here. safety first.
For the top part of the hood why didn't you use fold tape or edge tape for a smooth line
What spray mask he is suggesting to get???
ok guys its a live stream for chrissakes, if you think you could be better in discussing the dynamics on a subject that is probably one of the widest and openly opinionated subjects in all the world right on the spot, in front of a camera.... well then be my guest! otherwise, shut the heck up please.....
I love how he TRIES to say his Eastwood mask is better, but it's exactly the same as the second charcoal mask.
AWESOMENESS. TYVM 💯👍😎
Do you sell paint and clearcoat in one , in a spray can ??
mrkongsimr That is impossible the clear coat goes over the base coat how would you spray 2 layers of different product out of one can.
I am hunting for info on fiberglass. My son wants his corvette painted and have a clear coat put on, but Maaco told him they would paint it, but couldn't put on a clear coat, because it won't work. Why?

I've seen what happens when a paint job hasn't been prepped properly. I have a 62 Corvette sitting in my shop right now that had that, not to mention very sketchy repairs done.
If you're going to get a Corvette painted, and it's fiberglass, you may want to spend a bit more on a paint job. The materials aren't cheap, and there's quite a bit of labor. In the end it'll be worth it, and you wont have to worry about painting it again for quite a long time.
Thank you for all your information.

Informative. But really speaking out of the box, this really shows how some of us are allowing our egos to pull us into fanatic expensive illusions of paint perfection pursuits when we as a society need to focus more on practical living.
Use a 3200 psi pressure washer initially. It'll save you a ton of time.
You could just sand that area squirt some paint then shoot some reduced clear on it then sand and buff that area I wouldn’t use a 40 dollar can to fix a small spot
Why not just say this is an info commercial.
He is trying to sell where is the final part ? If your going to sell something that you believe that works you should show it part 2 just goes to your website ...
The video is playing on the website, isn't it?
When they did the body work on the Camaro you pointed out the sanded flat spot in the front bumper then you guys painted over it instead of fixing it , black car lol
@19:01 he taped and covered the entire car to do that spot, but did not tape and cover his glasses
How about fixing crows feet?
Are YOU an Eastwood Guy? Check out this video from Eastwood to find out:
Dangerous or Just a Fast Way to Cut Tags Off a Shirt? Don't Try This - Are You an Eastwood Guy?
Hi mate , where can i get the hood pins , the same as that mustang in this Video ?
Spraying clear over metallic paint ,the clear will come off easier, than black or red base colours colour, for example.
Why is it called 'whetting' when it's the opposite of the definition?
I'd really like to see videos where it doesn't take 20 minutes of talking to show me how to tape. It's waaaaaaay too much talking for the amount of the data I get from this, despite me being absolutely new to painting anything. It could have been a 10 minute video for the whole process instead of three part video with all the yapping.
Our American brothers love to talk
Anyone notice the cough ? I wondered if that's through lack of protection using this stuff ? Also the "moment" he has with his camera guy ... Guessing it was over the fact camera man wasn't wearing a desperate mask !?
Except you waste a whole can unless you have something else to spray at the same time. ?
Can you ship some of those products to Iraq ??
This guy talks way too much. I wanted to learn about clear coat repair, instead now I know about every product that Eastwood sells. I gave up halfway through when I hadn't learned anything that I needed to

you are wasting too much time talking.Appreciate if you show step by step quick procedures.
How to remove paint from my car
20min of rubbish talking for 2 min job. And there's part 2. Doh
nnnnnnnn hi v. io OK I kk
I know. If you clean the wax, silicone, etc off of the damaged area and feather-edge properly, you can repair the area as good as new. And it will last for years. All without using his products.
yes we all know you should just repaint a pilling hood. I don't care if 100 done right. what some one show us how to repair the clear coat with out base coat.
👍👍👍
Title says HOW TO REPAIR CLEAR COAT NOT HOW TO APPLY IT.
You got a shop ,and can't afford the moose???
why is he wearing a Bluetooth?
wow
Why would anyone put clearcoat on their car and actually pay for the service?
Nice, 20 minutes of product placement
TOO MUCH TALKING.........OMG
Thumps down! I found nothing useful in this clip.
Didn't learn anything from the entire video, other than how to safely condom a car.
3 Martini night LOL
OMG, within the first minute I've lost interest because he keeps giving himself and his shop props for doing what everyone else does on TH-cam...post videos and stream live...smh
See ya.
Infomercial
just do it and shut the front door !
Agree with other comments... This guy talks WAY TOO MUCH. You take 20 minutes to do what you could do in maybe a third of that. Going to look for a more concise video.
ditto glenn larsen
put a camera in front of people and u cant shut them up..
Do the work - do what you said you were going to do "How To Repair Clearcoat - Kevin Tetz Shows the Best Way To Fix Paint" - Stop the wasted time blabbering.
Really wished you stayed on Spike.
Peeling clear is also caused by poor prep.
He acknowledged on the video that his peeling clear was caused by his poor prep.
Can't believe he coughed!!
keakehan ngoceh.. apik ora
Half way thru, still don't know what he is doing. Didn't name the cleaning products, windex and what was in the spray can? Why not do it on a car that had an area or color (white?) you could actually see more clearly... shoot! I have watched 100 of these TH-cam vids and STILL I don't know how to repair paint that peeled off clear coat white car. Its almost like they don't want you to know how to do it. I give up!
Second product he used is called pre painting prep. He says what he is going to use at about 11:10
He talks to much and jumps off the topic trying to sell prroduct
Lol truth hurts in da comments... look after your car and you wont be here!
Sorry but, at 11:23 without an actual example of a clear coat damaged area, this presentation - meh
Video is to long with to much talking
Too, too.
Way much jive about product and not enough about the title .. do they expect people to ever click again ..
to many sales
Get to the point dude!
Yap yap yap yap yap! Stop trying to be Mr. Cool and get on with it!
I want the drugs this guy is on!
Talk talk talk, all be warned - move on.
