There are several components to getting a good result. One place I found that successfully combines these is the Magic Painter Method (check it out on google) definately the most helpful course i've seen. look at this awesome resource.
I have 40+ years and have developed a tolerance to isocyanates which are in the hardeners. When I went to a specialist in Boston the Dr's first response was wow 40 years exposure and still alive!
@@marqware4049 I was a painters helper once and quit that job and went to work for another body shop and i told the owner i never painted a whole car and one day he left in an emergency and told me to paint it,That paint job came out so well ,from that day on i became official painter. funny how life works out when you just move out in Faith.and lose the fear.
Aaaahhhh, that moment when you're really getting in the flow. You're in the groove. Your timing is just right. The motion and the overlap are perfect. You're in the zone - and then you suddenly can't remember if you taped off the headlight you just sprayed over...
Best paint video on TH-cam. No drama, no swearing, no B.S. just painting. Like how you explain everything and talk about not just what to do but why. Great job!
Decades ago, people would've had to pay good money for knowledge dumps like this. I've spent hundreds of hours learning painting techniques and this video STILL taught me plenty. Thank you!
I work in a automotive factory and I'm a painter it's so cool watching this done in a garage is so different but also educational. We have a paint booth with water under us and humidity at a certain temp. Then also baking takes about 750 seconds. We painted 247 cars in a 9 hour shift super crazy but I love watching these videos.
This guy is a natural in front of a camera. Really makes a difference for TH-cam tutorials. Could have his own automotive show on discovery channel or something lol
same man im 18 and looking to get equipment and start learning more ab like prep work and body work. wanna make it a side hustle and have fun with new friends that are passionate ab cars
Follow your passion, I've seen young cats that suuuuucked at painting at first but they loved it to death,so they kept going and eventually became professional level
I used to paint for many years as my profession, before going back to school and moving into IT work. I would always, always, always spray down the booth with water before doing any painting. It will decrease trash in the paint by probably 90%. Im only at the part in the video where you laid down the first coat of sealer, so I don’t know if you will do it or not, but it’s an amazing pro-tip, especially for guy trying to do it in a non-professional environment.
Listen to this guy his got a lot of time in the booth , the experience , the knowledge, the privilege, the appreciation, the respect . Needs to be given.
I love to see things get painted and restored. Like when I use my airbrush to paint and restore old sneakers. The paint job looks so smooth and professional. So relaxing.
Been watching hundreds of car spray videos, I have to admit your video is the most complete and helpful one. You gave all the answers that many of us beginners wanted to know. The methods, the mixing, and the one most people skip, the flash times between coats. Brilliant advise. Thanks.
The only thing they missed is to strain your paint when pouring it into a gun. Also. Those mirrors cant look good in person at all. No way to spray the back if on the car. They should have been removed.
Slowly getting better and better. Starting to enjoy painting now. I sold a red Chevy truck to a lady an told her fender was repaired and clear coat blended. She said I can't tell. I hugged her
You keep saying "it isn't done" but every step looked so damned good. When the blue was shiney? Holy shit! I can't wait to paint my car one day. I'm coming back to this video to take notes.
I wish TH-cam was around when I had to learn all these tricks the hard way. Very good advice to get clean work. You’re doing the industry a huge favor sir.
Great stuff. Attention to detail is the key to success in everything. You guys set a great example for young people coming up in life by illustrating that there are no shortcuts or hacks.
Hey guys reading this comment and watching the video who don’t have loads of experience... don’t panic everything will be ok. I’ve been doing this 30 years and I’m still learning too. Anyone that tells you they know everything is too full of ego to teach you anyway. Always wear a mask and remember to breath! It’ll help you relax a little 👍
i have been painting for 25 yrs very nice video lots of good advice i always tack all my paper their is dry overspray their that can blow off during the last few coats
It's really not hard man , just follow the steps and tape off everything you don't want paint on and like dude said if you make a mistake just sand and try again. Or buy a piece of sheet metal and practice on that
@@PaintSociety so when the base is sprayed you can lightly sand to flatten and reveal dust nibs. Then more base can be sprayed. Then when you clear coat you DON'T sand the base again? This is the past I'm not sure about, please let me know!
i love your videos about home resprays man, I'm about to do one on my driveway with a party tent in a month or so and it's so good to see the prep and paint process
I've watched this video twice. Today's viewing is all about reviewing before the actual spray. I'm heading into my 60's age wise and doing what I've always wanted to at home. I'm doing powder coating and painting myself and as my place of employment seems to be ousting me due to my age, I feel I've barely gotten into the job I really love and have yet to peak in life. This has been the most beneficial video on painting a car at home. Thank you for being so informative and helpful. I think this will bring me great results as I intend to do most of my personal vehicles in black which detects every little bump and slope. My only fear is water mixing with the paint. I even have filters installed to pull the water, yet no matter what I try, it always seems to drip water at some point and I fear it will land on my perfect black paint. New compressor and new filters, yet always get that water drip.
Im building a 1951 chevy 3100..my dream build since i was 17...im 53 now. I want to paint ot myself and with the help of these videos you fellas have made, im pretty confident that i can make it happen. Im subscribed and cant wait for more. Thanks for the help.
Last part of this video with him saying don’t chase perfection really helped me feel better about my spray job. I just sprayed my car and I have some runs and mistakes but it all can be buffed out. For a garage job I would have to say I did pretty good. I haven’t painted for almost 16 years and to do a whole car after that long of a time I would have to say I did a damn good job. Thank you for making me feel better about how I painted my car!
So many great tips for the amateur and the professional. #1 tip..... don't chase perfection!!! Some of my best jobs have been on projects that I thought were fun and didn't need to be perfect. The high end jobs, I have gotten into trouble with because I stressed too much and forgot to relax and have fun. Painting, for me is therapeutic, relax. Great video, great channel, thank you.
Thanks Brian you have taught me a lot fast .... love the videos and the way you break things down for garage guys I just painted my 1st car and came out great much love and respect to you and keep the videos going thanks again
One thing I wish you really touched on & showed us is tiger stripping, mottling, & streaks. Why we get them, & the best ways to fix them in depth. Great video, thanks for all you do!
This is the best spray painting channel I've ever seen. Great tips on cleanliness, it really makes all the difference. Highly interesting explanations and explained well..
I like this guy man I can really focus and I can feel him his actions in his words and I liked it he's using a car that we all work on some brand new car with no flaws on it just looks like an older car the guy didn't have a hell of a lot of money and just put on different fenders to match it and now he's relying on someone to make it look nice when I make it big I'm going to have this dude work on my car I don't know when and I don't know what I'm going to get yet when I'm going to definitely have this we do it
Guys, I stumbled upon this video, not knowing really anything about painting cars. (but interested in painting a bumper, or spoiler, etc.) This video must people for people who already know a little bit, as you lost me around 2:00 with the primer, paint, sealer, hardner? All those various elements were mixed into the primer? Please point me in a direction that explains more about the 4:1:1 ratio. Technical data sheets? Are these from the paint manufacturers, or from the auto makers, or from? I can tell this is really really good info, but I can tell that I don't understand much about these formulas, etc. Thank you so much.
1 Inch wood screws i use in my mixing cups , just sick them through about a 1/4 inch or so in through the side of the cup where you want your measurement to be instead of using a marker, at least u will see the mark once u use the cup more than once. it works for me , just want to let everyone know so u can try it your self if u want to . great video , you help me lot by your videos . keep up the good work and keep them videos coming .
Man I always paint my cars in the street no garage space in my house.. but I try always the best here and mexico city just need to catch up the right weather to paint.. saludos amigo
The only thing I can say (cause this just happened to me) adjust your air before you hook it up to your moisture filter at your gun. Mine blew up on me. Luckily I wasnt painting anything important yet. Maybe this is common knowledge for more experienced painters. 150psi blew my filter up like a bomb. Haha
60% prep and 40% talent. Prep everything perfectly, clean and tack the shit out of the car beforehand and make sure you wet the paint booth with a water hose beforehand. It will keep dust, dirt and other particles from kicking up in the air and getting in the wet paint. And lay 3 coats of clear, that way you can wet sand out any imperfections since you are inexperienced. Be sure to use the correct temp reducer/activator. That can absolutely destroy a paint job if not correctly chosen for the ambient temp.
turn back while you still can if you plan to use the car in the next 6 months. I'm 9 months into my job and have over 300 hours into it, it's being finished up and taped for base/clear this week.
Hello Brian. Thank you for share all your knowledge. Nice chanel. You very Profesional. I got a question. How do you calculate how much clear coat to mix for a job. You know some times is only a bumper and other could be some parts or a complete car. How do you calculate that?
This is like the the 7th video I've watched. Honestly I was taught primer, block sand, then wet sand, then clean, then 3 coats of base and then 3 coats of clear. They really emphasize the getting the impurities out before painting. For the record im not a painter, just learned a bit in school.
I’m 17 years old I built and painted my lowrider bike candy apple green it’s not perfect but it’s good for my first time it will be cool to see you paint candy and give some tips on it
I’ve always wanted to learn how to paint. Now, I only need to learn how to mix. Back in the day my brother in law painted his car with a roller. It’s all he could afford. I bought everything I need to paint. The first thing I primed but not painted is my wife’s 1963 2 door Falcon. She loved the look so much she has me leave it.
Well done! I'm the old Dupont tech rep for the Central Florida area. Your video was very comprehensive and hit on the important steps to begin and complete a hobbyist paint job. The one thing I could add is please use some sort of filtration on the exhaust fan!
perfect video for what us DIYers was looking for at home and not in a professional setting! Thanks and great work as usual! what kind of regulator and filter is on that gun?
I have a question, is there a difference when painting a car with all the parts seperated and the body by itself and have the car fully in tacked and having parts masked off
I really enjoyed the video, I'm a Panelbeater from South Africa. I'm doing my practical, so I'm still a student. My workplace is also teaching me how to do some spray painting work and so on. Anyway, what I see at work, most of the time when they put on primer, base and clear or Primer and 2k. They always have to flat/scuff the Primer/paint or 2k. For example. Primer gets sprayed, then when it's dry. It gets a P600 water/wet scuff, maybe because of contaminants or so. When cleaned properly, it gets a base coat (2-3 coats), after that the base coat, gets a water/wet p1500 scuff (sometimes it doesn't). Then cleaned again, then it gets a clear coat (2-3 coats I think), when it's dry the clear coat will be scuffed with water/wet p2000 then it gets a polish and wax. After that the car is finished. So, what I learned from this video and the rest is. If you don't clean your surface properly/hold your spray gun too far/don't set the gun's pressure right and more. You have to put in extra work to get the job done properly. I still have 1y and 6 months to go, so thank you for your content😁. I'm still very young and have lots of goals. I'll definitely enjoy doing panel beating and spray painting as a hobby or side job. I'm going into mechanical work after this (dream job). Definitely petrol/diesel mechanic or both. Then mechanical engineering or the other way around. Engineering first then petrol or diesel😄. I have very good grades, so I'll make it 😁. Keep up with your great content 😁✌🏼
Just a tip, it's easier to keep the dirt out of one coat than 3 or 4.save the denibbing for the last coat than add another, tack off after flash and clear it
Sometimes I see painters walk the length of the vehicle while others do it panel by panel. Is it a matter of personal preference or how the color/pearl lays down? Great video, Brian.
David P yes and no, to color sides first allows over spray on flat panels, making it harder to wet up said panels. Ok over spray on side panels, not so critical. Just for ships and giggles, I start bottom left fender come across hood rt fender ft. Bumper, rt. Side top, stop on sail p., move other side top door ouster, across deck, rear bumper, qur. Door? Less movement less dirt, flat panels are wet, no dry, no streaks, check your edges make sure they get hit. 45 yr. owner operator... nice comment peace and love.
Mostly preferance, but i never walked a car since i feel you cant get that robotic movement if not staying still (less gun control). Only see use for walking the car for a coarse silver dropcoat and nothing else. But again that is only my opinion, there is no right or wrong as long as the job comes out sweet
@Danny Murray hey Danny! Would you recommend sanding a car to the metal for a fresh paint job? Or just primer over current paint? Also, what is the order you explained to paint the panels to reduce overspray? Was hard for me to follow. You sound very knowledgeable!
hahaha I'm so happy with the work done by these three professionals that for a moment I thought the car was mine.Tremendous work, tremendous explanation and tremendous workmanship ..
HE EXPOSED YOU! OH NO! WHAT WOULD THEY DO IF THEY KNEW YOU? i love your channel brother. IM SO INSPIRED by your gusto and grace. THE SIMPLE SAYINGS REALLY MAKE THE CAKE FLUFF UP. YOU RAKE EM IN
I was looking into spray guns and came across your video. Thank you for breaking down the steps to take in order to achieve what appears to be pretty good paint job for this car. Now I understand the 4,1,1 thanks for explaining, I am going to finish my table today, it cals for 3,1,1. Your an awesome instructor
Awesome color and video! I painted a PC case with a cheap Einhell TC-AC 190/6/8 OF compressor and cheap Einhell paint gun. The base was applied via spray can. The color paint wasn't that bad, but the clear coat was my problem. On the side panels I sprayed to much clear coat and got some runners and on the front and top cover I got some inclusions or these dust-whatever you mentioned. I made it in my basement and it's far away of perfection but for the first try... I think it's okay. I know the compressor is very weak but it worked! :)
yo straight talk, this channel is hitting 1 million subscribers in 2022! I'm calling it! Why? 1. car shortage is making cars SO expensive so everyone is either going to keep their car longer or ride the wave and flip cars with a fresh coat of paint 🤑🤑🤑🤑

What I do when painting in my garage is I hose down the entire floor and keep it wet when spraying, that way it catches most of the dust and overspray
My luck would be the air hose dragging in the water, then slinging it onto the paint 🤷🏼♂️
Maybe just keep it slightly damp then.

60% prep and 40% talent. Prep everything perfectly, clean and tack the shit out of the car beforehand and make sure you wet the paint booth with a water hose beforehand. It will keep dust, dirt and other particles from kicking up in the air and getting in the wet paint. And lay 3 coats of clear, that way you can wet sand out any imperfections since you are inexperienced. Be sure to use the correct temp reducer/activator. That can absolutely destroy a paint job if not correctly chosen for the ambient temp.
turn back while you still can if you plan to use the car in the next 6 months. I'm 9 months into my job and have over 300 hours into it, it's being finished up and taped for base/clear this week.
@@Xxcactus108xX how can it take so long...? The guys in the video make it look like the painting can be done in like an afternoon
Man this was awesome I love when you guys combine lots of tips and tricks great job guys 👌🏼 that candy is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hello Brian. Thank you for share all your knowledge. Nice chanel. You very Profesional. I got a question. How do you calculate how much clear coat to mix for a job. You know some times is only a bumper and other could be some parts or a complete car. How do you calculate that?
This is like the the 7th video I've watched. Honestly I was taught primer, block sand, then wet sand, then clean, then 3 coats of base and then 3 coats of clear. They really emphasize the getting the impurities out before painting.
For the record im not a painter, just learned a bit in school.
I’ve never understood those cups - thank you!
I’m 17 years old I built and painted my lowrider bike candy apple green it’s not perfect but it’s good for my first time it will be cool to see you paint candy and give some tips on it
Lol I just want to paint anything I can find after watching that!! Thank you
I’ve always wanted to learn how to paint. Now, I only need to learn how to mix. Back in the day my brother in law painted his car with a roller. It’s all he could afford. I bought everything I need to paint. The first thing I primed but not painted is my wife’s 1963 2 door Falcon. She loved the look so much she has me leave it.
Well done!
I'm the old Dupont tech rep for the Central Florida area.
Your video was very comprehensive and hit on the important steps to begin and complete a hobbyist paint job.
The one thing I could add is please use some sort of filtration on the exhaust fan!
Awesome paint job 👍💪.
Lol, you still see some imperfections, wheras for me, this result is the definition itself of perfection 😁
Perfectly imperfect
perfect video for what us DIYers was looking for at home and not in a professional setting! Thanks and great work as usual! what kind of regulator and filter is on that gun?
🦗
Would love to see the "imperfections" and touch ups done. I'll have far more defects and touch ups than you!
Man, what a natural teacher. Awesome vid.
I like the breakdown of the ratio cups. Never dabbled in paint so this was awsome to know.
I have a question, is there a difference when painting a car with all the parts seperated and the body by itself and have the car fully in tacked and having parts masked off
Yes....because on one job the car is in parts and on the other job it's not....lmao
Damn this thang came out looking good thanks on the tips and tricks definitely learned some new things!!!
My NRA instructor told me to always clean my gun after use.
Just get a Glock and clean it every couple thousand rounds.
You are my good teacher thanks you
Democrats are coming for you
Tip: Painting without booth try weting floor to keep dirt n debris from flying up. Thats something my uncle showed me when painting in his garage.
I also see this often done with/in a booth!
I really enjoyed the video, I'm a Panelbeater from South Africa. I'm doing my practical, so I'm still a student. My workplace is also teaching me how to do some spray painting work and so on. Anyway, what I see at work, most of the time when they put on primer, base and clear or Primer and 2k. They always have to flat/scuff the Primer/paint or 2k. For example. Primer gets sprayed, then when it's dry. It gets a P600 water/wet scuff, maybe because of contaminants or so. When cleaned properly, it gets a base coat (2-3 coats), after that the base coat, gets a water/wet p1500 scuff (sometimes it doesn't). Then cleaned again, then it gets a clear coat (2-3 coats I think), when it's dry the clear coat will be scuffed with water/wet p2000 then it gets a polish and wax. After that the car is finished. So, what I learned from this video and the rest is. If you don't clean your surface properly/hold your spray gun too far/don't set the gun's pressure right and more. You have to put in extra work to get the job done properly. I still have 1y and 6 months to go, so thank you for your content😁. I'm still very young and have lots of goals. I'll definitely enjoy doing panel beating and spray painting as a hobby or side job. I'm going into mechanical work after this (dream job). Definitely petrol/diesel mechanic or both. Then mechanical engineering or the other way around. Engineering first then petrol or diesel😄. I have very good grades, so I'll make it 😁. Keep up with your great content 😁✌🏼
Got a 2007 pt cruiser I want to bring back to life. This video is gonna be a big help. Thanks guys.
Just a tip, it's easier to keep the dirt out of one coat than 3 or 4.save the denibbing for the last coat than add another, tack off after flash and clear it
That’s a great tip
Sometimes I see painters walk the length of the vehicle while others do it panel by panel. Is it a matter of personal preference or how the color/pearl lays down? Great video, Brian.
David P yes and no, to color sides first allows over spray on flat panels, making it harder to wet up said panels. Ok over spray on side panels, not so critical. Just for ships and giggles, I start bottom left fender come across hood rt fender ft. Bumper, rt. Side top, stop on sail p., move other side top door ouster, across deck, rear bumper, qur. Door? Less movement less dirt, flat panels are wet, no dry, no streaks, check your edges make sure they get hit. 45 yr. owner operator... nice comment peace and love.
Walk it out for metallics.
Mostly preferance, but i never walked a car since i feel you cant get that robotic movement if not staying still (less gun control). Only see use for walking the car for a coarse silver dropcoat and nothing else. But again that is only my opinion, there is no right or wrong as long as the job comes out sweet
Walk it out for Pearl's aswel ? Or just metalics
@Danny Murray hey Danny! Would you recommend sanding a car to the metal for a fresh paint job? Or just primer over current paint? Also, what is the order you explained to paint the panels to reduce overspray? Was hard for me to follow. You sound very knowledgeable!
Im painting my Miata this month also, thanks Brian 👌
How did it go? How much of this product did it take, as i am painting a Miata too
@@jimmcewen3727 my best guess would be about 2/3-3/4 of a gallon.
hahaha I'm so happy with the work done by these three professionals that for a moment I thought the car was mine.Tremendous work, tremendous explanation and tremendous workmanship ..
Progress not perfection great video everyone, I haven't painted in a while and its always great to get extra tips on making the paint job work.
Love watching the video from the land down under, going to be painting my whole car in next couple months and these videos are deff helping alot!
Damn this thang came out looking good thanks on the tips and tricks definitely learned some new things!!!
Sí 👌 feliz año nuevo 😊
This guy looks like the actor from now you see me.
Edit: Mark Ruffalo is the actors name
I'm certain this dude isn't a douche bag like Ruffalo
Don’t make him angry
@@Itsfarko this one won’t turn green though but he will leave you a nice green paint job instead of the blue one you asked for 😂
HE EXPOSED YOU! OH NO! WHAT WOULD THEY DO IF THEY KNEW YOU? i love your channel brother. IM SO INSPIRED by your gusto and grace. THE SIMPLE SAYINGS REALLY MAKE THE CAKE FLUFF UP. YOU RAKE EM IN
WOWOWOW, the finished product looks AMAZING.
I love you man, I would love have you for a instructor !
When you do a good job spraying the base, that makes you.... Ace of Base.
ight imma head out. lol
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Don't forget to stop off at eddie bauer on your way out.
Only if "Ace of Base" was actually cool... Lol
I wanna paint my car with that blue color
Just do it ! Make your dream come true.
ok .
wats the name of that color?
I was looking into spray guns and came across your video. Thank you for breaking down the steps to take in order to achieve what appears to be pretty good paint job for this car. Now I understand the 4,1,1 thanks for explaining, I am going to finish my table today, it cals for 3,1,1.
Your an awesome instructor
I don't even have a car nor will I most likely ever really paint one myself but I still like this video lol You can never know too much.
Painted my friends Hughes 500E helicopter red and it came out with a mirror image finish,so im I a professional painter? No,I just paint like one
No sabes pintar
0:34 "it's not gonna be a high-end job."
25:54 😱😱😱
I always wanted to paint cars and do auto body since younger cars has forever been my main love ❤️ I start school for spring I can’t wait!
This color is my favorite blue. Billion paint job!!
There is just something that's so satisfying when laying down paint like this
one of the best paint videos I have ever seen from technical to application and more!!!! awesome video!!!!
Thanks for an amazing video. If you have no idea or experience painting a car, this is the video for you. Great job guys!
Awesome color and video! I painted a PC case with a cheap Einhell TC-AC 190/6/8 OF compressor and cheap Einhell paint gun. The base was applied via spray can. The color paint wasn't that bad, but the clear coat was my problem. On the side panels I sprayed to much clear coat and got some runners and on the front and top cover I got some inclusions or these dust-whatever you mentioned. I made it in my basement and it's far away of perfection but for the first try... I think it's okay. I know the compressor is very weak but it worked! :)
yo straight talk, this channel is hitting 1 million subscribers in 2022! I'm calling it! Why?
1. car shortage is making cars SO expensive so everyone is either going to keep their car longer or ride the wave and flip cars with a fresh coat of paint 🤑🤑🤑🤑
Hope you’re right !
Painting is way more complicated than I imagined. You guys are beasts. I need the painting for dummies video.
