I really enjoy these videos and gets heaps of useful tips. I've also bought product from your web site, with great results. I'll be coming back for more.
Thanks for the video and the information. I particularly liked the comments on polishing. Time consuming and may take a few times to get all the scratchers out. That is so true and the first time I heard someone mention it. Great job.
@customspraymods you work as I do, step by step not interfering with your monthly events but still achieving your goal. Bravo bub. That axis spin and flat bottomed wheel tho👌 cheers+
Another great vid Dave. Good to see you’re enjoying your Subie properly-they’re wasted if you just drive them on the street, IMO. I used to be very active with the club, doing lots of the motorkhana and supersprints around 2004-2008. I had some success and got a few trophies, but family and health issues got in the way. I’ve still got the car and your vid has me thinking about getting back out there and into it. Love ya work!
Great overview, clear, concise and snappy 👍 One question, do you just leave the spray gun between coats or do some sort of clean? Does the paint in the nozzle start to dry and clog up the gun?
Been following you for a while but not commented before......what I liked about this one as a pro sprayer saying that you admit to getting lots of dust in your paint and how to deal with it. So it's not just us amateurs that have to deal with dust and flying wildlife. Thanks for a great informative video. PS, just bought a new Mercedes well new to me......the factory paint finish is shocking, orange peels is so bad, is that the same with all modern cars?
a lot of people just use sundstrom organic filters sr218 which is what it looks like dave is using but you actually need the ABE1 filter it has been tested against isos and is good for 20 hours or 1 week worth of exposure (if you dont use 20 hours you throw away after 1 week)
Hey mate looks awesome! One question i got is if i'm doing a home garage job is the MS-22 or the HS-PRO better? The HS-PRO seems to be cheaper as well. Which one is more forgiving for beginners?
I’m going to attempt this very same hood project in the weeks ahead, but using Spraymax aerosol cans. I remain a bit confused on the approach I should take with the epoxy primer portion. Spraymax offers multiple products for this, but I’m unsure on which of them allow sanding and subsequent basecoats. Do you have to do a two-stage prime/build approach, or is there something I can use with confidence that allows minimal block sanding before paint? My goal is to benefit from the use of 2K products where possible, but without buying a dozen cans. I’m assuming 3 cans of basecoat and 3 for 2K clear for the hood alone. Thanks for a great video.
No problem if you have dents and are using filler. You need to get as much build from the primer as possible. If you have no dents. You can just use a minimal amount of primer. Like just 2 coats. All primer should be dry then sanded for best results. You can just paint over a primed surface after 20 minutes but this can cause the clear to look a bit less glossy. Hope this helps.
@@customspraymods Final question, promise: You think two cans of the Spraymax primer is enough for a hood? It’s probably a tiny bit wider than that Subaru’s hood. Thanks again.
@@customspraymods that’s great thanks mate , just another quick question , how long after you lacquer car is it ok to de nib and polish ? I paint form front wings a few days ago but I can still slightly put my finger nail in it . Is that too soft too polish? As from my understanding clear can take up to 2 months to fully harden,
Hi i painted my moto a few days ago and i didn't spray enough in a spot on the tail of the bike. Can i sand this spot with 1k wetpaper and respray this or i have to sand and respray the whole tail?
@@customspraymods Could you paint me a small enblem? It has 3 colors and you could use it to teach with. It is a 1954 Ford NAA hood enblem. It has gold on the stars and wheat plant, a red recessed color, and the other raised stuff is chrome/silver colored.
I'm looking for someone to paint my guitar. I wanted it to be painted like George lynch russian submarine camo guitar. Do you think you could do this paint job?

Great job, Dave. No wonder the MCM boys have embraced your work. 👍
Why do you not have more viewers? Your videos are detailed and informative.
Best channel out there. Top work and burnouts!

3 minutes and I've already picked up that plastic and stripper trick. Awesome man
Cheers! Always great Suby content 👌
More to come dude. Stay tuned.

That came out awesome! Like glass. Well done. I would love to do your intro to painting class. But I'm in Victoria.
Legend. Good to see you are still making videos!
Love watching your stuff Dave 👍
Thanks mate.
Absolutely awesome man!

Nice job and clearly explained thank you for the video
I love this channel
Coopers strip club paint stripper excellent product
Fuck yeah, you are only 25 minute drive away. Ill be coming in for a visit.
Looks immac dave, could you have done the bonnet the same way you did the roof if you didn't wanna paint strip it?
Yes could have. But risk an uneven surface from sanding out all the stone chips.
can a bumper which has it's paintwork destoryed by thinner be restored back to be as good as new...?

Thanks buddy. Yeah most cars have a lot of Peel. Euro cars are normally a lot better.
@@customspraymods thanks for your reply. Learned a lot from you.
Looks awesome! What kind of mask are you using to spray the Clearcoat? I want 2K results, ut don't want to be sucking on isocyanates!

awsome Dave! what about cracked bog? what do you consider the best method of removing bog?
Best use a heavy sandpaper like 36g. Even better 36g on a disc sander.
wet wipes after tp should de-lodge it completely
Hey mate looks awesome! One question i got is if i'm doing a home garage job is the MS-22 or the HS-PRO better? The HS-PRO seems to be cheaper as well. Which one is more forgiving for beginners?
Hey mate the ms22 is amazing. So good and probably better for a beginner.
Hey Dave, if you get dust in your base coat do you sand that out before you clear coat or after you’ve laid down everything??
Hey sometimes I’ll sand the basecoat before the last coat. Then clear.
@@customspraymods What grit?? I've only ever done single step finishes, never base then clear
@@JimDorn I use a fine sanding sponge. It’s about 1200g.
@@customspraymods Awesome, thanks!! Greatly appreciate your videos and information. If I ever get to Sydney, I’m coming by for tutorials 😁

@@snail415 yep. Perfect.

Great work buddy , after the polishing stage did you wipe the panel down with IPA and then wax
No. I’ll machine polish again before I ceramic coat the whole car. Then I’ll use a polish remover like eraser. Before coating it. 👍
@@customspraymods that’s great thanks mate , just another quick question , how long after you lacquer car is it ok to de nib and polish ?
I paint form front wings a few days ago but I can still slightly put my finger nail in it .
Is that too soft too polish?
As from my understanding clear can take up to 2 months to fully harden,
@@Shadowmosesarea51 that all depends on the type of clear that was used.
@@customspraymods I’m in UK mate , and I used a clear coat called multi mix HS
Hi i painted my moto a few days ago and i didn't spray enough in a spot on the tail of the bike.
Can i sand this spot with 1k wetpaper and respray this or i have to sand and respray the whole tail?
The best way would be too sand the white tail with 1k. Then re clear.
i have a noob quistion let say am painting my first coat and need to wait 10 min will the paint dry in my gun ?
good afternoon ==repair car rim painting in ==mirror luxury ==thank you
Do you have a colour code for the colour of your wheels?
Spta foam pad ?
Why did you not use paint stripper on the roof? Was it less damaged than the hood?
Exactly. Not as bad. 👍
@@customspraymods would you only do paint stripper on half a panel? My car had sun damaged cracked paint but only on the top edge.
@@chinnerz2 best go all out nothing.
Thumbs wayyyy up
You’re sanding inside your spraybooth??? Why? Ever thought that might be (part of) the reason you have a lot of dust in the paint?
Yep. But I have no where else to sand. I’m blocked in here by boxes. For at least 2 weeks.
thank you so much did you use interface pad with 4 6 and 800 before paint thank you what distance do you paint
@@Ulr149tw21 Hey sure did mate.
Are you still in business? I would like to send you a roughly 5" round badge (haven't measured yet) to paint.
Yes but not the business of painting cars. Just teaching
@@customspraymods Could you paint me a small enblem? It has 3 colors and you could use it to teach with. It is a 1954 Ford NAA hood enblem. It has gold on the stars and wheat plant, a red recessed color, and the other raised stuff is chrome/silver colored.
No adhesion promoter??
That’s only for plastic
The primer is better over paint or metal. 👍
@@customspraymods is it better to use adhesion promoter then primer?
