In today's episode I help @Vtuned paint the Bmw M2 and unfortunately it got ruined!! ! Hope you guys enjoy!! S2000 Supercharger: • Supercharging My Honda... Instagram: www.instagram.... S2000 Sponsor: balladesports....
Mark.. you didn't ruin it. Life is about learning. I've been doing HVACR for 30yrs and I learn everyday! You did Ben a 110% solid. Stay safe and be well. You still did a great job
A real expert is not the one that spend the day saying that everything he does is perfect, a real expert is the one that always learn from his mistakes and put the effort to fix them. Thanks for bringing so nice content. 👍
You're learning mate. A few minor imperfections. I know you want to get it 110% for your brother. Thanks for taking us along for the ride - we'll enjoy the "paint fixing" video!
I wouldn’t say it’s ruined. It looks stunning. That said is this a good time to sand both front & rear bumpers down and use the gray primer on them to closer match the body? See you in the next installment.
Ruined is a bit harsh on yourself man, it looks amazing. The paint job brought out imperfections in that front bumper you didn't know was there before. You guys will get it sorted easily enough. Great work.
Watching your vids motivated me to paint my Jeep TJ hard top, my first ever paint job. It came out OK, but I now respect those who can produce a clean/quality finish. Not easy, it is a true craft...
Advice from a painter here. Alway turn the lights off and check color coverage with a sun light. I always do that and spray missing color areas with the sun light only. But also great work, mistakes only makes us better on the next paint job
Respect to be so transparent and showing us your "mistakes", i would never see that but you eyes are sharp as a eagle and you want only a perfect painted car! The word RUINED is for me way to critical, but like i said you are a perfectionist ! Nice video Mark and see you on the next video !
To me the car looks amazing. I cannot see it. Love to hear that you are critical on yourself. You are a painter in my book. You are simply gathering experience. You own up to it. Respect.
I think you were referring to my comments about exposure from painting. The fumes will absorb through any exposed skin so you have taken pretty good care to protect yourself from that but the full face mask with the dual cartridges is not really any better for inhalation exposure protection compared to just the nose and mouth dual cartridge respirator. The problem is the cartridges will not give 100% protection from the fumes even when new and then you add the fact that you and every other painter does not know when they become saturated and most do not even change them at the recommended intervals. Yes they are better than nothing BUT You need to protect yourself and the best is SUPPLIED EXTERNAL AIR. The small mini compressor with small hose to your face mask. If it is cost that concerns you you could modify your current mask with a small 1/4 inch bulkhead fitting and buy a cheap air diaphragm pump and small hose to your mask. You, your family, and all of us want you to enjoy long term good health and by not protecting yourself properly you are definitely jeopardizing it !
Fair play for showing the mishaps. Not many channels would be as honest. Also love the way your the bodywork guy for all your bros. Won’t be long and Youl have as many subs as your bro n you can go full time. Don’t think people realise you do all this in between working full time. Smashing it mate keep up the awesome work.
If you have a colour matching light, turn the lights off in the booth and use the light to check for coverage. Also changing ground coats during painting will affect the colour match.
Those Blues are so transparent very difficult colors to paint! Best way i check for coverage is with the lights off and a sungun, check all the primer areas especially 👊🏻👍🏻😁
Harbor Freight makes a set of 6 ton truck jacks that are only $80. You can jack the car almost 27" off the ground it will help with two things. It will make the lower part of the car easier to see and easier to paint. Second it will keep dust from blowing up onto the lower part of the car. With that being said your "bad" paint job is 1000% better than anything I can do.
You’re not satisfied and that’s fine but all I see is a well prepared car and gifted young man who’s skills are developing every day. (I’ve been following you on TH-cam since you started working Mark) and you are a very high quality person. Live long and prosper 🖖
Never mind… lesson learned… I’d suggest holding the gun further away as your spray fan is really wide to be as close to the panel and don’t move your wrist… But I’m just some guy who thinks he knows how to paint… (I do). Good luck with repairing it it will be fantastic
Expensive lesson, but that's how you learn. Better to learn on your brothers car than a paying customer, lol. My first shop was in the hood and we sent out some Earl Schieb level pain jobs. That was the guy that had the commercials I'll paint any car for $99.95.
Hello again. Yes if you buy a factory supplied air it might be a thousand or more but when your lungs or liver is F that probably would have been a cheap price to pay . Watched my uncle the painter on O 2 bottle for a couple years and then die in intensive care not being able to breath for the last two weeks. Yes suffocated until he died . I only wish I would have been brave enough to end his suffering for him. I worked in chemical industry in industrial hygiene and on analyzers for most of my adult life so know a bit about this. You could make your own for a couple hundred bucks. You already have air hose and can adapt your current face mask and would just need to buy a small diaphragm compressor used for aquariums or I think model or custom painters use them. Block off the current cartridges and install a bulkhead fitting on the mask and hook the hose up with a couple air hose quick connects . There is your cheap system for a couple hundred bucks or less. Every time you paint with the shit you are currently using your exposure is accumulative and your long term health is being jeopardized.
Failure is the best teacher. But thats the journey! Every adventure, job or relationship has failure. But you learn and get better. Love the content my dude!
always lessons to learn while painting, i think you done an admirable job there Marky and as you say a little rushed, an obvious answer to that, give things more time the bumper clearly has some faults, these are created as the liquid plastic is injected into the mould in various places at the rear and where the liquid meets and possibly cools at a slightly different rate, causing a little shrinkage, while most manufacturers will only except top notch bumpers (and components) a lot of near good, slight seconds will get out into the market, how a lot of things end up on eBay as factory seconds i was always told to paint the awkward to reach places first, spray undersides of bumper, turn it so you can see, then turn it back to do inside edges, and upper surfaces, i see with some spray guns now have a torch fitted, super idea, might save missed places down low, while the average lighting is pretty good in spray booths, its often too much, reflections can throw you very easily, and obviously why we generally do two coats of colour, i personally hate adding the second coat as its so difficult to see where you have been previously, but then there's often a wet finish against the dry matt finish don't over reach while spraying, don't take steps while spraying, i.e. stand at centre of door and do even steady sweeps, fairly slow depending on the air flow, overlap the spray by at least half, in other words keep the paint wet on following line, an easy mistake as the air passing over wet paint tries to dry it out, and of course be aware of runs you do an excellent job Marky, i for one would be pretty pleased with your efforts, sure Don would be pretty chuffed and probably rip the Michael out of you at the same time (Micky take) sure most customers would be pretty forgiving
Bro it looks good! Don’t kick yourself over it. I wouldn’t even bother with the door and rear quarter, you can’t even see anything lol. Just touch up the front bumper and y’all are good 👍
Big man that shows and owns his mistakes …big respect dude don’t kick yourself to hard it’s still better than most of the overpriced bangers bodged up on the forecourts . You know it’ll be perfect when your done 👍
Showing mistakes is human. Even machines can make mistakes. It looks really nice to me, but it takes an expert that is proud of his work, to admit that it is not perfect. I applaud that!
All in all I’d say the paint job is far from “ruined” just incomplete and in need of a bit of retouching. Other than the few flaws it turned out great. Love the color.
U and your brother did a real good job on it even with some mistakes and question when painting bumpers to get to match are darker colors or lighter colors to match better
Don't beat yourself up shit happens , you'll learn by your mistakes . Painting is an art and knowlege , blue metallics are pain for primer bleeds you don't see them until its outside in the sun use a sunlight lamp . Also try and walk the full side off the car when laying the base. So glad too see your showing your mistake you will make a good painter 👌 Jim uk.
Mark av you guys in USA not seen the proper 3m 09678 soft edge foam it's the dog's for door shuts and blends much faster and stops blow back when passing.
Shame as it’s a really good paint job too but we’ve all been there buddy 👍now I use a sun gun after my base incase it needs more before drop coat as some of these colours are hard to hide the primer but I’m sure a lesson learnt for as just like it did for me :)
Paint color is fantastic,Well at least the paint base went on nice without any tiger stripes, and the clear looks great in the sun , total bummer about having to touch some of it up , I’m Intrested In seeing how you blend it ! Super cool to see that tape , is it U-line you used?
The problem getting a perfect paintjob or buying a new car is the people wide opening their doors in parking lots , one deep scratch and you gotta paint the whole piece
Please mark we respect you and the whole crew, learning from your mistakes is not failure its progress draw a line in the sand and move on if you're job was easy everyone would be doing it. 👍👍👍
Greatest lesson is owning your mistakes and not making excuses. Paint still looks great though.
Always
99% of people would miss those small errors, that's my guess
Mark.. you didn't ruin it. Life is about learning. I've been doing HVACR for 30yrs and I learn everyday! You did Ben a 110% solid. Stay safe and be well. You still did a great job
A real expert is not the one that spend the day saying that everything he does is perfect, a real expert is the one that always learn from his mistakes and put the effort to fix them. Thanks for bringing so nice content. 👍
Well said! And ofcourse!
Mistakes are a learning curve!!! Keep sending out your content!!! One year from know you will look back ! And see how much you have improved!!!!!!
😁😁

That's a pretty good job. Leave it like that man!
Ruined is a bit harsh on yourself man, it looks amazing. The paint job brought out imperfections in that front bumper you didn't know was there before. You guys will get it sorted easily enough. Great work.

Practice makes perfect 😎
Good for you and your integrity!!! It is your name on the job. Proud of your making the call to repaint.
You didn't ruin it. It's always fixable. Remember how your friends that used to work out of their parents garage had to paint a Camaro 3 times?
Advice from a painter here. Alway turn the lights off and check color coverage with a sun light. I always do that and spray missing color areas with the sun light only. But also great work, mistakes only makes us better on the next paint job
Your Dad did a great job training you guys

Don’t beat yourself up too much buddy,it happens and the fact you saw it and can fix it is the important thing.thanks John from Arizona
To me the car looks amazing. I cannot see it. Love to hear that you are critical on yourself. You are a painter in my book. You are simply gathering experience. You own up to it. Respect.
Definitely better than I could do!! Looks good man!!
Hey you’re learning!!! That’s a win!!! At least to can see it and catch it. That means you know what to do the next time.

You’re right, but it’s also very expensive 😅
Dude, I am proud of you for admitting your mistakes and not being satisfied with them. It shows your work ethics.
It's hard to see on camera, the car looks great.
Anyone who has ever painted a car more than once has had the same thing happen. Chin up looks awesome.
Don't be disheartening, done a great job, practice makes perfect. 😊
Good evening from Australia
Looks awesome just a couple of very small mistakes but wow you did a amazing job
Fair play for showing the mishaps. Not many channels would be as honest.
Also love the way your the bodywork guy for all your bros. Won’t be long and Youl have as many subs as your bro n you can go full time. Don’t think people realise you do all this in between working full time.
Smashing it mate keep up the awesome work.
Thanks 😁 a lot of people don’t realize I’m doing 60 labour hours a week on average when they complain….
Owning up and being transparent. Two things most folks won't do. Good job
Looks great! Don’t be so hard on yourself. 95% of people wouldn’t even notice the mistakes.
If you have a colour matching light, turn the lights off in the booth and use the light to check for coverage.
Also changing ground coats during painting will affect the colour match.
Bondo works miracles if you can work it professionally !
Those Blues are so transparent very difficult colors to paint! Best way i check for coverage is with the lights off and a sungun, check all the primer areas especially 👊🏻👍🏻😁
Awesome job and very wise using the darker gray primer.! Keep Orange Crushing It!
Professional you run you buff !
You are either being facetious or a perfectionist. Come on man, nobody is perfect. The paint job looks smoking hot. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Love the transparency. RESPECT!
Love when mistakes are shown. Not only do you learn from it but everyone watching learns something too. Much respect 💪🏽
Working when you are tired is not a good thing in any profession. Thank you for your video!
Mate it happens to all of us no stress still looks mint.......good base haha😂
Thanks! 🙏🏻
Generally speaking, be carefull of person who do not admit his mistakes. Continue good job!!!
😂😂👍

Great video Mark 👍👍Every job is different 👍👍Your learning a complicated trade 👍👍Just keep videos coming 😀😀
Transparency appreciated. Keep teaching 😊
Good focus on quality and willing to do it until it’s right - well done
Never mind… lesson learned… I’d suggest holding the gun further away as your spray fan is really wide to be as close to the panel and don’t move your wrist…
But I’m just some guy who thinks he knows how to paint… (I do).
Good luck with repairing it it will be fantastic
not bad for your first paint job
Not a BMW fan because of reliability issues ( first hand knowledge) but... that is one of the nicest colors I have ever seen
Best looking ruined paint job ever 🤩
😂😂👍
Expensive lesson, but that's how you learn. Better to learn on your brothers car than a paying customer, lol. My first shop was in the hood and we sent out some Earl Schieb level pain jobs. That was the guy that had the commercials I'll paint any car for $99.95.
have to make mistakes to learn, everything other than the mistakes is perfect! love the color, you will ace it next time
🙏🏻🙏🏻
You have some great integrity much respect

Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying the channel!!
Don't worry about it. It's the cost of experience. I see some guys with a light on the gun. Would that help? Glad to see that you care about quality.
Yes it would 👍
Keep grinding Mark, it will be sick when it's done, Ben is a pro, he knows the deal.
You are only human, but you owned up to your mistakes. Still looks amazing. Know you wanted to have a perfect painted car.

You didn't ruin it, it's a mistake which can be rectified. It's all part of the learning process Mark.
Big man that shows and owns his mistakes …big respect dude don’t kick yourself to hard it’s still better than most of the overpriced bangers bodged up on the forecourts . You know it’ll be perfect when your done 👍
In Denmark where i'm from we have a saying. Experience are the mistakes we would rather have been without.
Amigos saludos desde CDMX de 🇲🇽👍 que buen trabajo 👍🚗
Good honest video, nice to see, top work
Don’t down urself Young man keep grinding harder an harder every day u do Amazing work💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
The 3m sun gun is great for checking your work in the booth
Yup, turn booth lights off and use the sun gun to check for coverage
Honesty is the best policy great work
looks really good to me!
wish i had your skills!
great job! great video
I think you did an amazing job on it even with the defects you see,
First 😂🎉 thanks Mark for the video
Fasho 🙏🏻
Showing mistakes is human. Even machines can make mistakes. It looks really nice to me, but it takes an expert that is proud of his work, to admit that it is not perfect. I applaud that!
This is why you’re one of my favourite channels, Mark you’re a decent honest man, great video as usual
Your a great man, no painter is perfect, thank u from nyc, I know it will be great when your done
All in all I’d say the paint job is far from “ruined” just incomplete and in need of a bit of retouching. Other than the few flaws it turned out great. Love the color.

We all make mistakes it's a part of learning and life doing a great job 👏
Looks amazing anyway. But I completly support your attitude, keep thinking like that and soon you will become a master painter. Never give up!
Great to hold up your hands and want to correct it to perfection
Mistakes happen but you are honest about them. Great job all the same.
Mark av you guys in USA not seen the proper 3m 09678 soft edge foam it's the dog's for door shuts and blends much faster and stops blow back when passing.
Are you are doing a good that's good that you take accountability for your own keep up the good work bro
Use those air jacks for in the booth on low cars. Blue is a tough color, but the respray will be great.😊
That would be awesome!!
You guys are amazing and your work is very good. I have all the respect for you
Shame as it’s a really good paint job too but we’ve all been there buddy 👍now I use a sun gun after my base incase it needs more before drop coat as some of these colours are hard to hide the primer but I’m sure a lesson learnt for as just like it did for me :)

3m
Saludos 🖖 desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 💯 % honesto por eso siempre seguiré viendo tus videos hasta la próxima 👍
i must be blind then. great content as expected thanks bro
Captain Jack Sparrow is laying some paint.🖌
What brand paint did you use? Looks good.
You are just like your paint... Very Transparent. 😲
😂😂😂😂
I wish I could ruin a paint job as well as you. Looks good to me.
The problem getting a perfect paintjob or buying a new car is the people wide opening their doors in parking lots , one deep scratch and you gotta paint the whole piece
You live and learn. It will make you a better painter in time.
Amazing job.
Turned out nice!
You often come across paint that just is translucint and a headache to get the coverage but i know it will be perfect next time.
Well, it's what it is, I know that's not a comfort, but life does throw curved balls now and then. You will get it right, the key is never giving up.
Don't be bummed out about it no one is perfect we all make mistakes awesome job tho your videos are getting better
Turn off lihgt in both and check coverage with sunlight
Good work have a nice day
Please mark we respect you and the whole crew, learning from your mistakes is not failure its progress draw a line in the sand and move on if you're job was easy everyone would be doing it. 👍👍👍
