I wish I saw your video before starting to prep my car. I followed other methods that I didnt like Yours is perfect ! Your videos are a blessing. Thank you so much for taking the time to create these
For my PPG envirobase system it would be around $250 for materials if I used EC550 for the clear. If you went to your local jobber they would charge a bit more to mix it up for you and the gallon kit of EC550 is around $600. I believe he is on the sikkens scheme so pricing would be different.
If you watch the video you see how much it costs, the tools he uses and the paint. The cheapest paint is around $200 a gallon for one car that's the way it is. If the viewers don't understand all that they don't need to be painting cars it's not easy.
As a car customizer and painter who restores specialty cars you did an outstanding job on this NSX, i had the liberty of doing an inspection on an identical NSX two years ago and the bumper and hood also did not match and my client passed on the car. What lots of guys end up doing on these older collectible cars are quick shoddy repairs then they cover it with PPF which makes it even harder to see and know whats under the PPF if it is even original or not. Once again Brian outstanding content as always and this color is not easy to get right but from seeing this car outside it came out bang on perfect. FYI I also use the same IWATA for clearcoats best gun ever if your going after that flat final finish with less sanding and buff.
Thanks for those words! You definitely have to keep your standards at a high level working on these cars. In my mind I try and think of every possibility that can go wrong and correct it before hand. It’s been working so far. Thanks for the love
I don't think I've ever seen you clear a car that took forever. Is it the gun that makes you move that slow? It came out great ! Great match on the paint ! 👍👍
Nice video. I have a question in regards to body filler and primer. On my 66 Mustang I performed some minor body work and used Evercoat Z-Grip filler. My issue is that the filler is showing through my epoxy primer. I have put on 3 coats but you can still see the shadows. No raised surface just a shadow. I will eventually be spraying with a 2K urethane primer/surfacer before color. Should I worry about the body filler bleed through or do you think the 2K urethane and color will cover them?
Brian thanks for another great vid. On my paint job I was getting flakes of paint coming up from the masking foil around my paint area during spraying clear coat. The flakes were of the sealer and base I just sprayed. Do you know why that happens?
What the HECK!!!! WOW!!!! dude this is one of the hardest tri coats to get right and you NAILED IT. Would you ever consider going up to 800 grit for base coat / blend panels? Very good job 🎉
@@PaintSociety try 800 your next video... I use to use 800 and I'm probably going to go back to it. It makes that first coat of base look like absolute glass.
@@PaintSociety and absolutely man once again you nailed it. I really hope your being paid what your worth there man your skill is worth 50-75 an hour all day long. Not many painters could match this tri coat yellow
My dream car😍 this was the first super car I saw in person with this color I remember being at the dealership as a kid trying to get in and the car salesman looked at me like why did you touch it. Loved this car ever since
Would you recommend using the UV putty for filling set screw drill holes? Holes made when bonding a fiberglass flare to a steel panel? I have problems with the holes dipping when the sun is strong.
S.O.S. I ran out of basecoat before I had full coverage on a crown vic front bumper and sidemolding. It will be days before I can finish, and clearcoat it. Any suggestions ? God bless !
I noticed that you paint a lot of cars with the panels still on. How well does that paint/clear the edges of the panels as it wraps around towards the backside? Is there a time when you pull all panels off and paint them separate from the chassis? Would love to hear your take!
Do primer/sealer colors effect the Basecoat finish? For example, RED basecoat applied on top of white, grey, black, red primers? Would the RED basecoat results come out lighter or darker based on primer/sealer color?
That looks great. I notice that you don't quote costs or prices for the work. Just out of curiosity if I wanted this done to a car I owned what should I expect to pay.
It is an amazing abrasive system, I switched over 2 years ago and haven't looked back:) I only wish they had dust extraction holes in their 3in discs, doing it manually with a hole puncher is a pain!
Hi, I'm from the UK and new to your channel and need recommendations on buying a durable clear lacquer. I need a product which is scratch resistant to minimise the chances of getting stone chips. Glasurit 923-447 was the direction I was pointed in but nowhere in the UK is selling that product, let alone the hardener or thinner which accompanies it. Other brands such as Deltron and Sikkens have been mentioned but I have no clue what's guaranteed to work besides the product I can not get a hold of.
my gosh man, the level of skill is astounding. What can I do to find someone of your skill to paint my Integra? Bringing my car to south FL on a trailer would not be out of the question. Not anytime soon but someday in the near future hopefully. The last paint job was not a very good one, and I want so badly for it to have a proper quality job done. I'm not opposed to learning to paint a few small pieces, but wouldn't really trust myself to do the body work on the whole car.
@@PaintSociety - Hey Brian, I did my first paint job after watching one of your videos. White pearl nissan fender. Came out real good. thankyou so much.
can you use that putty to fix door edges or hood edges?, my car has 2 repaints and there is some door edge damage and hood edge damage, Thanks for the video
there seems to be a lot of paint at the edges so that is why I think they are damage, so maybe I will have to sand down the edge or something, if you have any video on this please share the link
Quick question did you tape and paint the black color on the bumper the same day you painted the yellow due to drying it on a high temperature in the booth Or it was the next day
I still do not understand how to match the colour with door when you blend the front end. When you look at the side , the front quarter panel should be different colour with door?
Hey Brian i just painted my car in garage i have NO expirience in painting it end up with few nibs and orange peel so i sand it with 1500grit 2000grit buffed it with 3D compound and clear still look dull any idea why??? Thank men i love your chanel..
So i followed (poorly) your diy videos about rattle can paint jobs: The color went on ok, not perfect The clear 1k was from a decent brand, but still 1k and rattle-can, and combined with inexperience i ended up with some parts that has runs, som parts that have orange peel and some that looks dry. It's about 3 coats of clear. What is fixable and how?
I'm having difficulty getting my block sanding on every section of the car even/level throughout the entire car. Meaning this ... I block sand each section using guide coats and proper blocks, technique , etc. , But when I complete one section then move onto the next, I repeat and that section also comes out great , but then when I compare to the section I just did right next to this one, it's not even, level with each other. I'm not talking inches, not even centimeters, but I am a very detailed ocd prrson, and I'm talking milimetrrs.... Not necessarily enough difference to where a normal person would be able to tell, but enough of a variance where someone like me would be able to detect if looking extremely closely. Do u happen to have any advice or suggestions on how to remedy this or is this an unavoiadable thing
I don't think ive ever matched yellow without blending. Ill do spray outs and think itd good then end up having to blend it.i think im yellow blind lol
@robertornelas2663 Do you just adjust off of the prime variant from your mixing scheme? I recently switched my shop over to Envirobase and matching has gotten extremely good but yellows and Mazda 46v are still a righteous pain!
@@KWW0321 yeah I'll choose the best variant. I spray it and since I have almost all the tones from ppg dbc memorized.I Can tell what it needs. I'm always spraying then adding drops of colors that it needs. Respray sometimes it can be a little time consuming but comes out legit.
I've been watching a lot of your videos and I think I'm ready to tackle a DIY at home paint job, but the thing I keep getting stuck at is trying to figure out an air compressor. I've seen that 50-60 gallon tank is recommended. Do you have any recommendations doe beginners? Might only paint 1 or 2 cars for now, not a business
@@PaintSociety i run the tekna and the gti pro lites (basically the same guns but ones a cup and the other is pressure) i like devilbis lol. i havent had the opprotunity to buy anything super fancy, trying to get our paint rep to send over a loaner for a test run though lol. looks smooth!
incredible blend! amazed at how much clear you put on the hood, like 90% overlap
Yes but not a lot of paint was coming out but I noticed that same thing while editing haha
Just finished my first paint project. It’s not perfect but I loved it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
It's still the best after all these years!
The yellow really grabs the eyes, looks great, nice work!
Dude... I Love it!... Thanks for Sharing. I Love it to Learn New Tips and Tricks.
Nice work! I painted an airplane with a similar yellow and loved it. Next comes an old Honda I am restoring for my grandson. Same yellow.
Beautiful! Can't see that pearl at all in the booth, but it sure does pop in the sun!
wow i gotta get some of that uv cure putty for my yellow Type R Honda. and a portable UV sun
I wish I saw your video before starting to prep my car. I followed other methods that I didnt like

You are absolutely the best.
Wow, thank you!
Wow! Beautiful job on a beautiful car. Great instruction too. Thanks.
I bought the P series paper and its great vs what I have been using for years
As usual beautiful work Brian enjoy the vacation
I like when you said "I'm playing with fire here". That shows that even yourself, a pro with experience could have messed up on the blend.
Yellows and Mazda 46v haunt my dreams everytime I have one in for refinishing!
Amazing work. And thank you for the great tips, I feel more confident now thanks to this channel, i have learned a lot.
Looks good! We just had a yellow Camaro in our shop that we had to do an all over on because of color match issues. Yellow can be tough
That looks awesome! Well done Brian. 👏
Thank you! Cheers!
I love that color yellow 🎨
I’m going to paint my Mercedes s550 that color with gray AMG wheels.
Great uv product.. my experience here in north is where there a chip there is almost always rust under the paint edges
Nice work Brian. That’s a very nice car too
Love your videos Brian..... How about a quick video on best practices on repainting door handles & mirrors.....
I don't think I've ever seen you clear a car that took forever. Is it the gun that makes you move that slow? It came out great ! Great match on the paint ! 👍👍
It’s the gun. It’s ours it down very slow and not all of material

master at work!! always great videos!!!!!
Excellent finish 💯👋👋
Very dense overlap 👍

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE VERY VALUABLE INFORMATION AND EFFORTS
Awesome job and video.

Would you recommend using the UV putty for filling set screw drill holes? Holes made when bonding a fiberglass flare to a steel panel? I have problems with the holes dipping when the sun is strong.
Beautiful job ❤
Hey Brian would you recommend to use a yellow sealer for a yellow full paintjob, or would you recommend a white sealer? I don't use waterborne paints.
Beautiful car (and paintjob!)
Love your videos man, I’ve learned so much for them.
Thinking about upgrading my cheap gun to a Sagola 4600. Maybe do a review video on how you like?
Damn man you do good work nice job mate
Is it better to spray the drop coat usually after the third or final coat has flashed or while its still wet? I have seen you do it both ways.
Beautiful job nice one bro
Thank you! Cheers!
What a decent inexpensive uv curing light? Anything specific to look for
S.O.S. I ran out of basecoat before I had full coverage on a crown vic front bumper and sidemolding. It will be days before I can finish, and clearcoat it. Any suggestions ? God bless !

Do primer/sealer colors effect the Basecoat finish? For example, RED basecoat applied on top of white, grey, black, red primers?
Would the RED basecoat results come out lighter or darker based on primer/sealer color?
Yes. Great question. Do spray out cars using the same sealer so you know how many coats will be needed
That looks great. I notice that you don't quote costs or prices for the work. Just out of curiosity if I wanted this done to a car I owned what should I expect to pay.
I still cant get my head around a 320 cut with a 600 scratch.
I will have to try it.

Great advice Brian !!! 👏👏👏Great content
Been away from the trade since 89.. Lot of new product ..Miss LUCITE..DULUX, CENTARI..IMRON..
maybe i missed something but why is the paint cup on the gun sometimes covered with tape? just curious
I was going to ask the same question until I scrolled down and found you've asked it 😂
So old paint doesn’t flake off into the new paint
Beautiful work brother, wow! I noticed you get awfully close to the car with your guns, how do you avoid runs?

Tommy light
what's your flow rate with the clear? i see you have like 80% lap, just wondering how its not running with the exception of a near horizontal surface/

What brand do you use of K600?
Only one brand. Check the link
This is why they should ppf to help protect the hood.
When I'm blending a transparent color, I mix white base with yellow. I use that as a seler, covers extremely fast. No need for primer.
Yes! Should have done this first

Could you or someone give me an educated guess on how much basecoat needed for a Toyota Tacoma extended cab roof in metallic black? thanks
Get a quart of paint
