Thanks to you Brian I’m now working at a collision shop I always worked on the side in my garage but now I’m working full time in a auto collision shop with the Knowledge and Courage from just from watching your videos 😊🙂
Hello Brian Love your videos my friend You have given me the courage to attempt my first spray job on a project e30 build. Many thanks for your time. My man. 👍🙏
Great job Brian I love the way you take your time with the sanding out all the panels and laying the silver down and I take a lot of your advice it's do a great job
I can see from all the prep, that someone else has also had fine metallic silvers. Kick their arse at one time or another. Boy have I been there. Great blend....
Another lesson learnt today Brian you were right when you said to me you have another video coming soon by the way I wished you a happy new year and thanks for the advice you have given me
I really appreciate your job and the value of the information you give us it’s really seldom to find someone professional jut like you give that much of information with amazing way just nice and easy, since I started watching you i learn alot , keep going
Great info on prep! Thanks for helping us better understand the process. I'll be sure to wear my Paint Society t-shirt next time I paint! I can use all the good juju I can get! LOL!
I have a question, I was always under the impression too fine of scratch won't let paint adhere well, also primer Is not waterproof arnt you worried about the bodywork underneath ?? Thank you great video!!
Silver metalic will always come out better with a slower reducer and do not over thin product. Give flash time betwen coats. Any quality hvlp gun 1.3 fluid tip for most applications. 45 years painting cars and trucks here.
im taking my IS in to a lexus certified body shop for a rear quarter panel and bumper cover job. small job but they will have to blend. I sure hope they do all the correct prep work like you do on my car. I have the ultra white so let's hope I cannot even tell when they are done! I wish I could travel to Florida and give it to you to do LOL
Great videoes @paintsociety . I've watching a lot of them before I decided to buy a Iwata LPH-80 E4 wide fan and attempt to repair some adamage on my car with black metallic paint. I noticed when test painting some parts off the car and comparing color that the metallic flakes are not coming out the same way when I paint it. It almost look like the original paint has way more of them or that they are not visible in the same way. Is there any trick to get the metallic more "visible"?
Is different types of reducer really that important? Just curious. Because i repainted my ford focus in moondust silver, using Fast reducers, and had absolutely no issue with Mottling/zebra striping.. i just made sure to keep my paint overlaps at around 80%, to be sure to have a good full wet 2nd coat, and the metallics laid down flawlessly... I did air dry though, No heated booth etc.. So perhaps that pays a important role in it...
Thanks brian. Great video I'm learning every time I watch you paint I'm learning a little bit more. I have a question though. If you are going to do a show car paint job in metallic what is the highest grit sandpaper that you would use before putting on metallic. Can I use 1500 Grit or can I use 2000 Grit. Is there any benefit to doing that
The paint I am buying off Amazon comes with an medium activator. What is that and when do I apply it. Brand new DIY. First paint repair. Watched a lot of your videos but haven’t heard you mention activators.
Hat i m following your work and i can say it’s wery good i m painting car to the problem i have some time is when i put clear and by the way i m painting in a garage i do ewey steps to do clean job but the problem i m having is solvnt pop when i put second cout of clear and i m using halsion europien clear 2:1
I have an upcoming personal project where I'll be painting a fiberglass custom hood, silver metallic. I would love to see how you'd prepare for and handle that sort of job. Right now I'm trying to watch a multitude of your videos and put together various elements and techniques from each of them to learn what I'll need to do a good job.
@@PaintSociety I have watched it and will probably watch it several more times as I prep for it. I was also curious how you treat the sanding/prep process for fiberglass - whether to use a sealer or just a primer etc.

Hi Brian 💁🏻♂️ Happy New Year 2021 🥳🎆🎇✨🎉🎊. For a year where so many things slowed down, didn't it FLY? 😜 I wish for 2021 you have the best year of your life, may all your dreams come true and all your hopes be fulfilled. God bless! ❤️😇 Cheers 🥂
Man how can we do this in south texas 110 degrees with semi downdraft booth metallic blending when extra slow reducer dries like medium reducer? And the blending agent dries too fast also??
I guess I shouldn't be too upset with the shitty results I get when using Dupli-Color brand products compared to the pro quality products you use! For the small areas(about 1 square foot total) that I'm trying to do, it's simply too cost prohibitive to DIY with any decent quality products/materials. I might as well have a shop do it. Which is the whole point, isn't it? Can't have DIYers doing their own simple repairs cost effectively, now can we? At least your videos are free. And yet have much valuable information and insights on the process(es)! And for that, I'm grateful and thankful!
Can you make a video with and without the magic shirt on? Haha, but seriously what do you think of painting wet and semi-dry of silver to control the color darkness? Happy 2021!
Hey Brian I don't remember seeing you wear safety goggles/glasses when painting. I wear contacts and usually in the clearing stages I don't have much ventilation and was considering getting some but that resist lacquer thinner. Is there any you would recommend?
Just clean your glasses with prepsol, wax and grease, whatever you wish to call it. It won't damage lenses like thinners does. Clean them as soon as you leave the booth. 👌
Happy 😃 new year Brian hope you live to see many more wish you the best for 2021 with health and happiness awesome 👏 video the prep and paint job was a number one ☝️ spot on the money lol 😂 much love 👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊💫💫💫🔒🔒🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏🎯🎯🎯✊✊✊👌👌😉😉😉😉💯💯💯💯
Hey Brian Chris from Jerry Grays A/B here...been awhile big guy...I’ve just been slammed...hey listen man as alway very in depth to the letter of how why and when we do certain operations in our environment...I always head down a 4hr rabbit hole when I start catching up on your videos...lol...so I’ll get to it and I already know why but do you think you could make a video explaining zone painting and some of the reasons we use that method vs the monetary reasons of why we can’t use that method all the time...bc I’m sure that you or I and gunny or Gabriel can agree wholeheartedly that almost all instances is a better repair method when working w some of these colors that we get hit with on a daily basis...sure could we fly by the seat of our pants and get through it...absolutely...but your job in this video requires way more in depth preparation and setup to make sure all bases are covered bc they(general public) have no idea how bad these colors can turn on you in an instant and for some of us especially the guys that gotta go so fast they’re wearing roller blades they can’t risk it so the “zone paint “ the side and wave goodbye rather than spend the amount of time like you and keep it tight...and there’s is no wrong way I was just hoping you could explain why us “crazy painters” wanna paint cars a certain way...why our bosses may or may not let us...and how and what it take a to be sure that whichever method we use the job is going to turnout beautiful...just a novel of a thought there pal...thanks man
So first let me say this for your fans first there is no “right way” to spray this particular job but there’s a lot of wrong ways to spray it and Brian’s is one of the absolute RIGHT ways....extra preparation and color matching and shading are imperative before you even get that job inside the booth bc the last thing anyone wants is a $3k spray out card and a redo just to maybe break even...you kiss any profit away the second a redo comes up...that being said ...w how complex these colors can be and while having a repair on the front and a blend to the rear we can all agree that one wrong move with that spraygun and the drift is pretty much changing the color of the whole panel...in my area what maybe 20% of the shops would would say the left fender is a 50/50 shot of failure and if we’re doing fender,door,rear door.With still a potential mismatch on the hinge pillar to the fender....Why not just scuff the whole side when they are as normal and clear the whole thing may even be a little bit faster due to the fact so you don’t have to be as precise while prepping just a thought but it speaks volumes for the way that you did it...successfully.. because we all know sometimes money is the only thing that matters sometimes even if the owner has an $80,000...once again I think that your patience and experience has paid off as it And sometimes turn into a major disaster two thanks for the video and keep them coming
If it is close enough I’ll take it in another panel. I was confident in the color on this one coupled with the dv1 which only sprays at 14 psi so far less overspray travels and lands future then you want. Usually though if it’s a tough color I’ll take it further.
What is this clear blending additive you sprayed before the base coat? Is it a mix with clear or just straight out the can? I have heard people like to spray clear before the base coat because it helps it stick and not powder up. Is that what you did?
Is It really necessary to spray the clear base before silver metallic basecoat? Because i know car painters here in Sardinia who don't use it, and the result is perfect
Ese color es difícil... en el mismo caso ...así mismo pinte pero a mi me quedo manchas ..volví a repintar y me quedo menos machas pero así se fue jajja jajjaja
need help choosing fast clear gun lays glass finish....i paint completes..customers want glass finish.my iwata lph400 too slow for completes..in US south..cant afford expensive guns..HELP
Do you always wear gloves? It looks very professional and i understand why you do it but my hands almost immediately start sweating and causes discomfort and prep problems.
9 out of 10 painters would’ve back taped those panels. The way he did it prob allows the clear to reach around the edge better and prevents build up on the tape. Takes a bit longer but better results.

Your link in the description to the LPH-400 is the same as the DV1 link. Is the LPH you use 1.3 or 1.4?
1.3

Amazing job. Really gives the feel as to how long it took you to do it. We all appreciate what you do and teach.

Thanks Brian for your sharing! I learnt alot from your walkthrough. Really appreciated from Cambodia 🇰🇭 !
Good job Brian your work served as my guide lines
I can see from all the prep, that someone else has also had fine metallic silvers. Kick their arse at one time or another. Boy have I been there. Great blend....
Another great video Brian …. Cheers
I've never seen the cross to blend the base in before thanks,interesting👍
I didn’t realize I even did it until I started watching myself on video
Very nice video with great explanations.

Look forward to some of your videos!
For colour mix mach you hav drop on also front wing and rear wing,..
Great job, awesome tips as always! Thanks Brian, the blend master!🏆
I have a question, I was always under the impression too fine of scratch won't let paint adhere well, also primer Is not waterproof arnt you worried about the bodywork underneath ?? Thank you great video!!
It’s never been an issues to wash the car. It’s standard to use water based cleaners anyways over primer. 2k Primer is pretty bullet proof.
Too fine of a grit can affect adhesion, you are correct. 1000 grit on blend panels is pretty standard though. Ive never had issues with 1000 on blends
Good vid as always

When it comes to blending yes it is very important. Also if the temp is below 70 degrees then it doesn’t matter as much.

Hi Mr Brian.. what of applying silver ducco as undercoat ..will it affect the basecoat.. Raphael painter from Kenya
Sweet job Brian. Was that clear base before the base coat?
Quick question, can you sand base coat with a very fine metallic using 1500 grid paper?
Awesome
The paint I am buying off Amazon comes with an medium activator. What is that and when do I apply it. Brand new DIY. First paint repair. Watched a lot of your videos but haven’t heard you mention activators.
Awesome video. Mr. B
Do you have a vid. On how to use fine line tape?. Tnx for the X blending pattern tip.
Do I have to use extra slow reducer and extra slow activator ?
Can you make a video spraying 3R1 code from Toyota
what grit sand paper did you use on your hair? looking for a smooth finish. I have a date tonight
Thanks Bryan

Do you have a color code for that?
I don't get all these blending additives. What are they and why do you use them when you're painting the entire panel anyway?
So metallics should go on to a 1000 sanded surface always ? If it’s a non metallic you can do 600 or 800 right?

It’s called blending additive and it is over reduced clear coat with reducer 1:1. Make sure you add hardener to the clear first

Do you always wear gloves? It looks very professional and i understand why you do it but my hands almost immediately start sweating and causes discomfort and prep problems.
Yes I mostly do. My hands come back home very clean.
Always wear nitrile gloves. Paint and especially thinners/ reducers are absorbed in the blood stream through your skin.

That chrome molding on the rear door bothers me lol
We usually remove them but we have trim tape by 3M that took the rubber seal up really nice and allowed for paint to get under the molding.
