Third year of my paint journey. Started with my own vehicles in a tiny barn garage. Bought a house with a 47 foot long garage that was previously an appliance repair business. Perfect for my part-time seven days a week sideline. Love the work and still reading and watching videos like yours every evening to see if I can pick up more tips. Mostly trying to be more efficient now as the once confusing basics have become routine with practice. Most important thing is to get out there, put in the work, if you screw up, remember the lesson, try not to repeat it, fix your error and don't give up. 👍
Im about to start next week here in my car porch im 21 🤙
Brian,
As a former body shop owner I have enjoyed watching you work and teach. I was lucky to have guys like you making the shop look good. Keep up what your are doing. The world needs more people like you!
This came out just in time! I'm just getting ready for painting my 2nd entire car, a Škoda Octavia Mk1.
My first full-car paint job was a Golf Mk4, and thanks to some good advice from Paint Society's videos and Brian in the comment section I had the courge to do it in my garage! Came out great, but this series thought me some more, and I'm hoping the next one will be close to perfection!
Big Up from Romania ! 🇷🇴🖖🏼😉🥳👍🏼🇺🇸🌎
this is the place you'd trust with your car, steps are perfect, just like I was taught. well done
Thank you for giving me the confidence to paint my own car. You are a great teacher and i truly am thankful for your videos.
Been watching your videos for the last year to prep for 1st paint job on my project Blazer. Was searching for info that broke down the steps exactly like this 4 part series. Had a few questions on sanding and primers and this was perfect. There's so many videos out there that only go thru parts of the whole process but this is by far the best I've seen. Thanks for your time, effort and clear descriptions. These have to take a lot of time to produce and It is much appreciated.
I'm first time ever repainting my 2003 Gary Fisher SAAB 9-5 graphite green.
This series rocks!
Hi Brian, I watch a lot of your informative videos and enjoy the tips and advise. I am prepping and painting a Honda Civic at the moment and just wanted to share with you and your veiwers about the dry guide coat. I have been using black chalk and a polishing pad to apply for years on projects with great results. The chalk is used for snap lines but I tried it years ago when sanding and leveling wood projects and now I am having success using it for filler and primer guide coats as it seems to work very well and for about a tenth of the cost.
Anyways, thanks for all of the videos and tips.
Paul
Beautiful prep work. Love watching this content.
Thank you for always giving us details guides Bro. Your hard work and guidance is really appreciated.
I am currently in the process of doing a resto-mod (and colour change) on my wife's Honda EK. I always fall back to your videos for guidance in the event that I get lost haha. This will be my first attempt at a full body respray, and a colour change no less. First sorted the rust repair work, got the dents sorted and layed on primer on the one side (I am laying primer on the entire car eventually) so this video came at the right time. ❤️
Keep up the great work!
Excited for the guide on the sealer as that will be next for me after I finish all the Primer work and sanding.
BE CAREFUL SANDING THE FRONT FENDERS WITH THAT DA, IT NOT A FLAT SURFACE....JUST SAY'N MY FRIEND.....GREAT VIDEO ✌💪💫💫💫💫
Great idea for a series that'll be such a huge help for the DIYer like myself, could have done with it when i started the prep on my car lol!
Looking like a high end paint job......NICE
Great job sir
Great job...excellent exable...thanks a lot ..its my job over 20 years but never say no to try to learn something new even you think I know everything..maybe somebody do it better than u ...just like u simple and nice
Nice work 👍
I don't think I've ever seen videos so in depth I've sat up late nights just to watch some of his videos he gives you confidence in everything you do if there's one video i missed i promise ill see it sooner or later I've never did a paint job in my life but i feel like i could do a professional job with a few practice runs i love to learn and know new things because i don't like no-one touching my cars but me im deffinately gonna take my chances on my own paint job from these videos thanks man hreat videos and perfect at explaining every single detail from rock bottom I've watched other videos but after i started watching yours i don't pay no attention to the others nomore but it's just paint right?
Great team!!
I was waiting
Almost paint spray time! Looks ready.
Already looking for next episode 🤣
Next week!
nice 😍👍👍👍👍🙌
Love your videos, very informative. I have a 95 Accord I am getting ready for paint. Its a V6, so front end parts are hard to find. I have hood that has some pretty big dents. How do you go about putting bondo on this and spreading it to get it as even and smooth as possible?
Should be called Sand Society.
Hello, great videos!!! Learning alot. Doing some rattle can paint testing on my 79 Scout ii. Sprayed a Rustoleum enamel. I was wondering, is it safe to spray "Spray Max 2k" clear over it? If not, what rattle can clear do you recommend? TBH, its just gonna hit trails, not a beauty queen, tired of 5 different colors.
Great video. Why the abrasive prep and clean after sanding? Why not dish soap and water?
Thank you for video!!!
Guide coat? That looks like toner from a copy machine. Can't wait to try it out.
If you want the Velcro on the Durablock, just get some sticky backed hook and loop tape from eBay and stick it to the block. It works for me.
Kevin Tetz from Eastwood drilled in my head to use W&G to check my progress over my body work stages but now i found out that was a big mistake. Solvents attacked my feather edges made them too soft top coats revealed. So i am with you water to check or what about WB W&G remover to check way less aggressive.? or just use the gloss from the HB primer to check?
If you find you need to add some filler to a low spot, do you need to take it to bare metal? Or can you add filler over primer?
For the bumpers, how do u get rid of the static? Do you ever use a static removing gun?
Do you have to wash the panels with water to remove the sanding dust? or can you just use prepsol or some type of solvent instead?
Instead of blowing out all the sanded primer and possibly paint dust, if you're scuff sanding the paint, can we use a shop vac and a round brush attachment to suck up the dust? Do you think the bush bristles will scratch the surface?
Do u stop on p400 on DA before base or what do u usually stop on when u don't use sealer?
Have a question which I hope makes sense. After primer, if I’m NOT using a sealer, would I still use P400 on the DA and base over that or would the final grit then have to change?
Given that I wouldn’t have that sealer coat on the car before the base coat like you have done in this example.
Thanks for the great videos!

If you get a burn through exposing metal after going over with 400 grit on a DA would you have to respray primer over that spot or would the sealer take care of that?
What are you best basecoat & clear coat gun ?? Looking to buy two guns but its hard not knowing which is best
Interesting to see you guys working together on sanding down the primer. Not alot of painter likes to have few guys doing the bodywork together since every painter has their own technique of doing things. I hope everyone will learn from this and make a standard of doing it so with little help from someone which makes the job faster rather than doing it alone by sanding down the primer for the whole car. I learn one thing from this video, if there is no bodywork in the panel, its not required to hand blocking and just use DA machine. Really speed up things. I usually paint quite old vehicle and usually primer the whole car. But some panels still looking good without any dent. Not necessarily required primer, But thats what's the workplace required, they wan it to prime the whole vehicle then hand block it to get as straight as possible.
If you’re sanding down cars that are like from the 60s-70s what grit would you recommend for sanding?
My epoxy sealer is suggesting 220-320 grit for anything that is not bare metal. Should I be doing 320 grit or 400 grit like you all did?
Have you thought of teaching class? You guys can pass a lot of knowledge to the next generation of painters.
This is pure class, my friend! 😉😉🖖🏼
Cuando se juntan nada malo puede pasar 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Gracias por tu comentario 👍👍
so I've been really thinking of painting my car myself. I need to know if what I'm thinking will truly work. I want to have my car be white but have a dark blue, gold and maybe purple shine to it. I'm thinking a satin clear coat or each color wold get the affect I'm looking for with a matte clear coat. basically trying to do a midnight purple effect.
any help with trying to get the paint I'm trying would be amazing
Love the video, show car civic?
Just a regular civic si
I sprayed primer surfacer on my repair areas only, as I have to leave my car outside under the elements. The rest of the car still has some flaking clearcoat around the repair areas. Will this become a problem if I plan to sand down the clear coat for primer in the future even if it means having to reapply primer again on the repairs areas?
How long did that whole process take and how many hands on the project?
👍🔥🔥🔥
What’s the go if you guys are doing a open door respray?
How much pressure are you applying when blocking the primer?
How much would you charge for a bumper and fender work?
What is the letter before the grit of paper when you You say "P" 400? Thanks I really like the videos I'm self taught but do it for a living but no one at my work knows anything or doesn't like to share there knowledge.
Hey Brian, Is there any issues in using the Hook & Loop Dura-Blocks? Is it likely to leave marks in the prep work as opposed to Stick-it given there is a thin surface between the block and the paper?
Usually never and don’t have any issues with them
Question: can someone tell me how high humidity affects paint and clearcoat paint in my garage can you paint with high humidity?
Love this !! But I'm still a little confused about when and what needs to be blocked?
We blocked out areas on panels that were large and flat that had a lot of body sanding like the roof hood and trunk.
How do I know if the panel require sand block or not?
So can you get away from 320 then 400 grit .. can we go to 800 grit or 400 is fine
👏👏✌️
most body shops use DA instead bc it's faster. customers don't want to pay for hand blocking.
Can you use any etching primer with any primer or do you have to find 1 that's compatible??
Any etch would work
Noticed you did 180 grit on the roof but 320 on the hood and trunk. Would like to know if I can stick with 320 or cut with a 180 before I start my p400. Thank you for the respond, been watching all your videos and I’m in the process on priming my car this weekend
We used 180 where the paint was really dead and needed blocking. The rest 320 was fine
@@PaintSociety oh nice thank you again. Okay that make sense. Awesome
At 1:50 you mentioned 320 but it said 180 on the screen, after primer, are you smoothing it out with 320?
Yes
If you need a car to paint for the show, where do I submit my info?
Ooc, do you use dust extractors with your sanders?
We don’t.
I’ve been painting cars in my backyard for 6 months now and been experimenting with lots of products and techniques and was wondering what your experience was with using a clear sealer? Been using it lately and I’ve noticed I can spray flakes, metallics, and pigments over a 320 scratch with a single medium wet coat. And has great adhesion on plastics and chrome but requires more paint coats as the sealer is recommended only light coats of base. Is it better more light coats of paint and skipping more sanding and saving time or just sand to the final grit for the required material? I’m curious on your thoughts since time is money in this trade
Any base over a p320 is never a good idea. You should use regular sealer over p320 or sand it up to at least p600 then use clear base
It's all about the quality of the basecoat. Any paint system that needs a sealer first has a thin basecoat (dupont was famous for this). It's all about making $ for the paint company. The more stuff they can sell you, the more they make. I paint over 320 all day for years no issue. I do agree that a finer grit paper is required for fine metallics like silver.
@@PaintSociety yea that’s what I have done but I’ve been messing around and seeing what works and doesn’t, not on customers cars but mostly on parts and some flips. It’s not a clear base type of sealer it’s extremely thick almost like a clear primer that sprays unreduced. It has properties of an adhesion promoter that’s why I bought it but then noticed you could use it as a clear sealer but definitely not an intercoat. I do have to give you a huge thanks to switching me over to the kgrit pads by Eagle abrasives, huge game changer even with the prices. Thank you for your guidance and videos, often find myself watching you whoever I run into problems🙏
@@MAn-ti3ul I’ve never used DuPont but I’m guessing it’s like the dynacoat brand a shop sells near me. It’s 2/1 and has terrible coverage. I’ve tried shopline and Omni and have had great results using less paint. The higher end Omni doesn’t justify the price for me but I give it as an option for those that like knowing they are getting the best. I usually get the mid grade Omni for all my projects.
@@Jose-mv1bd Omni and shopline are the same. They are PPG's low end paint line. They are good for budget resprays. If you are color matching pay the extra $ for PPG deltron.
Don't count on sealer if you would use a block a little more you wouldn't burn thru so much. But I understand a collision shops antics.
Sealer is so much more then just for burn thurs though
Did u spray the sealer or is that for part 4
Next episode.
My painter makes me block it with 400 after blocking it with 320…but it’s over primed bondo areas.
That’s fine as well. You’ll need to go over there 400 though with a DA
Why are you not blowing off the dust off guide coat you just filling up sand paper d
Hi my name is gift boys from south Africa i am 21 years old I am male i am very interested about job u are doing so I need more experience of panel beating spray paint I was studying at eureka skool at Vereeniging
Wow, that's a LOT of work for a roof panel.............
Guide coat for black cars?
You power washed a car with no door handles.. where is that water gonna sit? Inside of the panel that’s where..
For Brian I try to let the ads run
What happened to the other dude Diaz? Fired? Mario took his place?
Diaz Is great and just moved up! So he’s on his own now at our shop and doing great

Bros! I hope when you're not recording, you wear masks while applying and sanding guide coat! That stuff is terrible for your respiratory system!
NEVER USE THE DA TO PREP FOR PAINTING, yall rely on the sanding block
Just a quick question, after blocking with 320 gritt why move to 400 gritt? Isn't it suppose to be 600 gritt?
It’s not supposed to be anything. There isn’t an instructional manual let’s say for how it should be. All I know is that I don’t feel confident in a p600 removing a p320 blocking by hand scratch. Plus we are sealing so you want to leave it in p400. Hope this helps
@@PaintSociety Thanks
I block with 320, guide coat and finish with 600. I will finish in 400 If I'm sealing. I mainly seal new parts, burn throughs and stuff that is hard to sand.
@@glen4407 thanks
Just going to add, I only sand the primer with 320, not the old paint. Some new cars have very little clear on them. Can burn through with 1000.
