Thanks Chris, I painted the truck with your video help. You have the best how to do vids out there. Your explanations are very good. The 1985 Toyota looks great. Very few issues, a little orange peel and a couple places of too light on the paint, so I sanded and repainted in my garage. Looks beautiful. Paint and clear. I have 2 small runs, I will fix easily. Theres this guy named Chris, he has a video on how to do it and shows it on a black truck! thanks for all the vids, keep them coming.. Thank you for your time and effort!!! Greatly appreciated.
Yet again another useful tutorial, I don't think many painters really like polishing so anything that makes it easier is always welcome, I normally use a rotary polisher as it cuts quicker but as you say it's easy to burn the paint but I find that providing you keep the polisher moving and make sure it rotates off the edge off the panel you should be ok. Thanks Chris👍
Thank's John, I perfer rotary for my first cut cause like you said it does cut better. I like to do my final polish with the orbital. Appreciate the comment and support!
Another one of your very helpful tutorial videos. I'm pretty new at this and am finding all your videos so helpful in understanding automotive painting. Thank you. Andy K
I only been doing body work for 3 weeks for a high-volume repair shop, there is around 900 cars or trucks at all times in are lot, well they fired 3 other body guys and I don't know what's going on. my buddy that's the painter told me this would happen; my guess is Monday there going to give me head of repair coordinator because the work repair estimates have been low in hours to be corrected to up to 200% book time. I am self-taught and my experience spreading mud has come from being a drywall finisher and being a mechanic for 20 years. I love this work maybe I can talk the boss into a post then a frame table. and channels like this has been most of my training thanks man.
@@PseudoKirby actually I left that place they were downsizing because of the market coming to an end they just flipped cars, I went to another body shop, and I get paid half of what I should get paid and its depressing the moods these people are in, my buddy works for a company that has multiple hundreds of body shops they own and I told him that's why toolboxes have wheels, he said he could get me in.
@Garage Noise Get rid of the runs? C'mon man, thats like my signature! 😂🤣😉 In the handful of paint jobs I've done so far maybe 1 didn't have a run so this is super helpful. You actually pointed out what happened on our daughters auction car paint job, we tried to correct some runs with the razor method the next day and chunks came off!! 😶
Thanks for good video.learned something new. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻I had a heavy run last year during painting my front grill. Started to sand but would take time. Tried a razor blade. That blade was too flexible. Then saw one guy on youtube from England he used a utility knife razor blade (new) and put some masking tape at the edges to prevent deep scratches from blade. That technique worked perfect for that area. what i learned as DIY, different runs will require different approaches. Have to order those kowax blocks .
I like buffing every panel I paint. Sand imperfections dirt and orange peal. Results are better than factory paint finishes. Black paints are mandatory, to getting a mirror finish. 3m products.
I just checked it and it is the Vevor orbital polisher from the link in the description. What am I missing? what brand is pulling up when you hit the link. Appreciate you!
@@posservice1 unfortunately that compound is out of stock. I can't even find it from the the manufacturer. It's great stuff. I've now had to switch to wizards or 3m perfect it ex
I may have to do this next week. One question, how long do I need to wait to polish a single stage paint? I did the experiment with speedokote . Thanks for the video
I've always liked the glazing putty technique myself do to the built in guidecoat effect. Cover the run with 2K glazing putty and sand until it's gone. The Eagle abrasives KOVAX system is the bomb.
My biggest fear apart from dust, today I'm going to spray my first matte finnish... that method wont help 😬 Actually I don't think that anything will help when something goes wrong with matte clear coat, only sanding and respray. Or am I wrong and there is a way?
Hey Chris! I continue to learn so much from your channel! I do have some questions. The DA you use looks like it's an Astro 3/32 DA. What DA would you recommend ? 3/32 or 3/16? both?Also when would you use an interface pad on a 3/32? Might be a good video to go over?

Nothing beats those Eagle Kovax blocks and abrasives for that. I love the square blocks they have too for small nibs. Great video as always!
They work great! Appreciate the comment and support!
Great information. I will put this to use on my small run and orange peel I sprayed last weekend. I’m a DIYer. Thanks again
Awesome! Appreciate your comment and support brother!

A lot to be learned on TH-cam! Appreciate the support!
so what happened swampie, did they promote you or fire you too?

This might be what I need as a beginner thanks for this video
Hopefully not but it happens now you have a reference. Appreciate the support brother!

Same here, I like it glassy but don't like the buffin! Appreciate the comment and support!
How long do you need to wait after applying the clear coat? Tanks.
Great Video. The links for the polish product is a different brand and product than used in the Video
I just checked it and it is the Vevor orbital polisher from the link in the description. What am I missing? what brand is pulling up when you hit the link. Appreciate you!
@@GarageNoise Hello. I was referring to the polish compound.
@@posservice1 unfortunately that compound is out of stock. I can't even find it from the the manufacturer. It's great stuff. I've now had to switch to wizards or 3m perfect it ex
Great tutorial!
Thank's bud!
How do you feel about the vevor polisher now that you’ve had it a year I’m about to start increasing my cut n buff tool supplies?
I may have to do this next week. One question, how long do I need to wait to polish a single stage paint? I did the experiment with speedokote . Thanks for the video
It happens, reference of you ever need it. Appreciate the support!
Single stage I would wait a least 24 hr then test it.
Is the polisher being held flat against the surface or is it being held at an angle ?
I do both at times mostly at a slight angle.
Cool video! Looks geat
Thanks!
Good one thanks
👍
The CSI polish looks like it's no longer available. Do you have a recommendation for a substitute?
Thanks in advance.
When I can't get it I use 3m perfect it ex
@@GarageNoise Thanks. I'll look for that. The CSI product was great!!
The Vevor polisher looks familiar. Is it the same as the HF Bauer polisher? You're one of the few TH-camrs not trashing HF. Thanks.
It's probably the same manufacturer not for sure tho. I love Harbor freight my favorite store!
I just picked up a 2 inch run/ nib file, haven’t used it yet, have you ever used one and do you like them?
I do have a cheap one and have used it and like it. I need a better one and the paper.
1st Comment. Howdy Chris.
Howdy brother! Appreciate the support!
I've always liked the glazing putty technique myself do to the built in guidecoat effect. Cover the run with 2K glazing putty and sand until it's gone. The Eagle abrasives KOVAX system is the bomb.
I used to use that technique on iffy runs near body lines especially, kept me from burning through, works great! 👍
My biggest fear apart from dust, today I'm going to spray my first matte finnish... that method wont help 😬 Actually I don't think that anything will help when something goes wrong with matte clear coat, only sanding and respray. Or am I wrong and there is a way?
Your right can't sand out a run in a matte finish. Appreciate the support brother!
J'ai acheter ce kit et pas de regret c'est super in dispancable
Thanks! I just painted a car and need to remove some runs.
Happy to help! Appreciate the comment and support!
Shouldn't you wait for it to cure before doing anything?
If you have the time yes, give it a week or so.
Hey Chris! I continue to learn so much from your channel! I do have some questions. The DA you use looks like it's an Astro 3/32 DA. What DA would you recommend ? 3/32 or 3/16? both?Also when would you use an interface pad on a 3/32? Might be a good video to go over?
I prefer the fine sanded 3/32 for finishing. I think it's better for all around use.
I had a cheap ball joint fail after one year - now I never buy cheap ball joints
👍
You didn't have to mess up a clear coat, I have plenty I could send you! 😂😂😂
🤣🤣I've had my share over the years as well.
Flow indicator
🤣🤣yup!
The clears today are pretty forgiving you really shouldn't be running clear unless your spraying through a primer gun haha
I agree
Curious what you mean by "unless spraying thru a primer gun"?
👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👍🏽
👊
Moi j'aime mieux covax 2000 et 3000
I'll have to try that. Appreciate the comment!
I'm no expert so treat this as a layman comment, didn't that remove the clearcoat so you are just buffing paint? i didn't see you respray any clear
It removes some clear but it's minimal enough it doesn't effect the durability.
