For a person with 38 years custom painting experience I can’t believe you said that I’m also a painter I can tell you that’s false information we only don’t stop at the edge to avoid paint buildup on the edges because when you clear it you will see it especially metallic colors other than that you good. Going pass the edge and stop at the edges don’t help or hurt you with getting even color if you have uneven color you need to look at your paint gun, mixing ratio, and overlap etc.. I do both custom and collision when doing collision sometimes you have to stop on the edges I don’t like it but you have to do what you gotta do to blending the color when insurance fighting you about blending the next panel .. like the above comments say do edges first then do the panel
Always keep the air going, thats why spray guns have a 2 stage trigger. By constantly starting and stopping the air you get dropplets on the panel also walk the whole side of the car to try and eliminate start and stop lines and getting heavier film thickness where you start and stop. When i was being taught they set up masking paper on the side of the paint booth and we had to spray on that to get our technique down. Best way to learn to paint is start with primer, you have to sand it anyways and you can get really good if the person training you thins the primer out to be close to paint.
Them deck builder pages are the worst. Now they're vicious. Trying to hurt homeowners feelings for asking for advice n shit. I bet they take a different approach talking to customers. Some serious complex issues out there
It's generally any video where there can be more than one opinion. You can't bash a person for having big enough balls to post their first paint spray. Good for him. From this point forward he's gonna keep learning. The more you learn you get better results.
In the late 90s I worked at a collision shop basically I was the poop boy prepper , I would paint the undersides of hoods and fenders but that's about it. I wanted the paint so bad and told my manager I was ready. He told me" well then paint your own car" I had a 1986 IROC Z28 while driving it back and forth to work I prepped it. Finally on a Sunday I brought it into the booth the color was Victory red my manager stopped in while I was painting it. Needless to say I was a painter three days later it came out pretty slick
When I'm painting a complete I like to wear a Tyvek suit ($15 at home depot) I also put 2-inch tape around my waist so I don't accidentally lean into the paint job. I have a German shepherd and a Husky everything I own clothing wise has dog hair. Tyvek suits are designed so nothing sticks to them it's also important to keep the isocyanates from the clear coat from entering your pores.
That's pretty damn good for a first attempt. Just keep at it. Every job will be a little different. You'll make mistakes along the way and it's perfectly OK. We all did. Enjoy the journey, it's awesome.
Pro tip : flick your gun at the end of each pass . Will prevent a build up of paint at the end . When doing correctly you will prevent runs and dark lines down your car. Great job for your first go at it 👌
That's not what painters are doing. 😂😂😂 You release the trigger. That's the "flick" you think you're seeing and hearing. Any real painter knows this. You're speculating.
@@mrarivv0007 well I’m a painter with 20 years experience. That’s what I do . I also release the trigger at the flick . But it’s not needed . Flicking is perfectly fine too . What would I know
I was taught to always do edge's first as it seals the paint better aswell as start from roof down for over spray getting on you're work and damp floor down. So air doesn't pic any dust up. Each to there own every 1 has diffrent methods
Right on brotha! A few days away from my first paint job. One thing I learned while preparing was to end your passes in the center of the panels. Haven’t heard a clear description why just yet 🤷♂️
Definitely agree with learning a new skill, but I have to admit - watching him made me so nervous. In my head I was screaming, "don't stop and start like that!"
Doing good for your first time..just a little advice, start on the hood at the top of the fender and work your way over and do your sides last..keeps the hose and your body from getting in the paint having to reach over the hood, roof and trunk..overlap 70-80%, and lift of at the end of your spray pattern to prevent buildup..nice job though!
What's walk the car? Is that when you go from front to back or back to front and work down compared to panel by panel? Wanna try painting an old project car at home and am trying to get all the tips I can
Not bad for your first time, little tip, don't stop on the edge of a panel, keep it going 6 inches or more to the next panel and flick the gun outwards and don't let off on the air.
When painting in a shop that doesn’t have a booth. I found that on around your second coat of clear all the bugs and spiders start coming out of hiding, clearcoat, is like a bug spray, if you can get on a ladder, take an air blower and blow everything off of the lights and try to get rid of all the bugs days before painting
I'm 53been painting since I was 13. You have a good stead hand your over lap looks good. don't like the way you start and end your spray but no two painters paint alike. You're going make a good painter keep up the good work. 😅😅
For me...we take off the door handle and side mouldings and even side mirrors then paint bpdy panels. Then paint the small pieces. Then reassemble them all
I remember 10 years ago my father thought me everything when he owned his bodyshop, He aint dead we arent as close as we used too ans this reminds me of myselfs first time great job!
Get it bro 😎😎 I've always wanted to try my hand at painting one of my project cars but was always to scared to try so I payed some one 😂😂 my hats off to you sir 👍👍👍
Good on ya for giving it a go! For the future try turning the gun down to apply less paint. You want it to be as if you’re putting down just a little more than dusting the paint onto the surface. Walk the entire side of the car as you spray starting with lower sections first and working your way up higher with each pass. You’ll get more consistent coverage and fewer runs this way. Carry on!
I'm no pro, just have painted my own race cars in my own shop much like you are doing without a booth. I learned that everything in your shop will soon be red whether you think it will or not. I started covering everything and learned to wet the floor. Later instead of covering everything I started hanging the visqueen as a curtain and basicly made my own spray booth. I had to spray the race car frame and then come back and shoot the body. It was worth the effort to build a curtain. I had green race cars and the first time I painted a car everything in the shop was kinda green for the longest time.
Lol he’s learning guys give it rest y’all acting like you never were like this at ONE point, it’s like me taking you to my job and said ok now alley dock it on door one and I just film you with the same caption and other truckers start bashing you lol
Once he gets his confidence up he is going to be a complete badass!!! For his very first time painting a car he’s going to be a great painter once he gets his own technique.
I was a little anxious watching thinking he was moving a little to slow and was gonna get the runs. Lol it's always easier to add more later than to clean up a run and possibly have to redo everything.
It's his first time. Mistakes are going to be made. Nobody first was perfect. Anyway, I want to see the whole car painted. Where is the rest of the video???
I've been teaching myself. This is by far the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, so many variables. I am the king of the runs. I spray exactly like you, I'm talking exactly. 💯👌
I could point out a lot of things as a painter, but I'm going to remember my first time I painted a car and say to you, Well Done, you're on your way and you'll learn as you go, you're off to a good start. If painting is in your blood, it's a really rewarding or satisfying job. Best wishes on your journey.
You don't necessarily have to. I used to think that also, but I've been watching a lot of painting channels & I've been noticing that some of the best painters paint a section at a time
That poor spot where he stopped and started has got like 10 or 15 coats now. Thats why you always start and finish spraying off the piece of work. Then you get a even coat and the only overspray should be the 50 percent overlap from the last pass. Man i miss powder-coating for a living
I’m not a painter, but do remember some custom paint jobs from Elkhart Indiana in the 70s airbrushed on custom vans. Still in awe today. Keep up the work 😊
I had an older friend that painted cars when i was in highschool. He could airbrush amazing things and watching him paint free hand was crazy. He did a gangster theme on his chrysler 300 with scarface and goodfellas and godfather painted on the car it was in a few magazines
That’s how you learn to do this is by doing it but of course there is some ass hole out there that says you need a book and a degree to be a professional at this shit lol I leaned it all paint bodywork and everything else in between a bunch of grumpy old men taught me how to do it no book no degree. I am a professional at it. 30 years. Keep doing it. You’ll make a good living.
Not bad for your first time. Just spray further onto adjacent panels so you don’t build up a bigger rope edge. Play around with your pressure, speed, and distance too. Not everyone paints the same so what works for someone else might not work for you. I personally like to spray base around 10 psi. Lower pressure usually means less dirt
Very good mate. I hope you continue painting. Practice, practice, practice. Find someone you trust that can give good solid advice and learn as much as you can. I'm not a pro by any means, so I can't offer any advice, just words of encouragement.

Stopping the air between sprays is alright as long as you stop the paint flow before the air flow
We’ll said! No judgement just good advise, thank you!

Made this mistake once , took over a year for all the red to wear off lol
Am I the only one annoyed they didn’t take the door handle off 😢
nor did they tape over the chrome on the door panel 🥲

Everything about this is so wrong 😭
Horrible wrist game. Look at the flick of the wrist
Pretty good for first time 🤘🏾
Awesome!
