Happy to help
Awesome video, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I can’t wait to get started painting my 1970 Cadillac.
That sounds like a great project
If you is interested in spray painting the best success that I have ever had was by following the Magic Painter Method (just google it) definately the most incredible course that I've followed.
I wanted to say thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. It's great to learn from a pro. Appreciate ya!
Thank you Ben, I'm happy to help
Thank you Pete for ALL the videos you post. I watch a lot of vids on "how to" on TH-cam. Pete you are one of the most knowledgeable guys out there! Thank you for sharing and great vid! Makes me want to run out to the garage and build!
That is a great compliment Jason...thank you very much
Hi Pete its been a pleasure wacthing your video I learn a LOTS just about guns and how to set your gun good job mate keep up the good work.
Karl from Essex England.
Thank you very much Karl
Thanks Pete! My dad grew up in Williamsville, so I automatically trust you! Getting ready to shoot my first car panel and your video was very straightforward and understandable.
Thanks my friend, you can do it
Thanks Pete. First video with a great explanation of how to clean the gun. Only spray cans for me so far but want to do a project car this summer. Will try to get spray gun equipment this year. After 18 months of videos here and there 100% ready to use one. I've commented before and very pleased with all your videos.
I have been painting cars for two years, but still I like to listen to people who have been painting for 15 years 👍awesome job a🤝
Thanks my friend, I learn something every day
Pete.. thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. I'm no painter, I just want to work on my own small projects in my shop and I'm just getting started so this video helped me tremendously. Ignore the haters and keep doing what you do, people like me really appreciate it.
Thank you very much Charles. After almost 9,000,000 views, thousands and thousands of comments with only 3% Dislikes, I have learned to ignore the haters. If they get nasty I just block them from the channel.
This is an outstanding video. A must watch for all us beginners. Thank you for taking the time to share so much knowledge.
We are all here to help each other
@@PetesGarage Now ain't that the truth! Sadly, not enough people have that attitude, yet. Good onya, Pete, more power to you. DTH, Australia
Nice details. You just fed me enough encouragement (info) to realize the secrets to painting my 53 Dodge pickup were out there. Thanks for filling in the holes. Cheers!
You can do it Keith. With a little practice and patience you will have no problem.
Excellent video!! Very informative and helpful!! Thank you very much for taking your time to educate us rookies on the proper way to paint!! You have helped me tremendously!!
Thanks Steven. I remember when I started, there was nobody to ask and no TH-cam. I'm just trying to help.
This video should get millions of views , thank you for inspiring and motivating me , very helpful !
I wish....I'm happy to help

Agreed
Pete; awesome video Sir! Makes me want to try to paint my current Alfa Berlina project. Thank you!
You never know unless you try. Practice and you can do it. Thank you my friend
Peter that's an awesome video and very educational. Thanks for the inspiration. Pls don't feel bad when others talk badly it's because they are idle. Keep it up.
I'll never paint anything bigger than a bird bath as I'm disabled I won’t ever be able to touch a car. That didn’t stop me thoroughly enjoying this video. Passion, enthusiasm and knowledge never fail to get my attention and you had them by the bucket full.
With the respirator my first wife's husband was a paint mixer. He started in the mid 70s when safety wasn’t as important in the U.K., he now has early onset dementia. Though it can’t be proven it’s highly suspected it was the chemicals he worked with. It’s not just lungs the paint affects. Part of my condition is usual nerve damage that's closing my lungs down and I also have extreme persistent atopic asthma. Having a lung condition that will kill you in the next few years is hard work at times. I always wear a full face mask and don’t take it off until I’m away from the paint.
I’m glad someone deletes nasty comments, I’m all for healthy debate but nastiness for the sake of it is immature and pointless.
Thank you for sharing your story Mark. I'm sorry you have to live with that. I leave comments that criticize if there is a lesson to be learned. Some comments are just offensive or ignorant and I just delete them because they help no one.
Great video! Thinking about spraying my 1999 Ford F150 myself with zero experience. Im going to watch all uour videos. Keep up the good work!
You can do it with a little practice Tom
This video answered most of my questions. You are a fine teacher too. God bless.
I'm happy to help, thank you
Great informational video! Tons of information without all the extra bs talking that doesn't relate to what the video is about. Again, Great Video and thanks for the information. Keep it up.
Thanks my friend.
As a newbie this is pure gold! Thanks for putting this together for us Pete.
Thanks Anthony
thank you for sharing your video I think that you were probably in the Guinness Book of World Records because this is the first video that I've ever seen that actually shows how to clean the gun. Thanks
Keep your gun clean and it will take care of you for a long time
Very informative! Thank you!
Great information - thanks!
Very glad to find a video so informative on cleaning the paint gun and what to do between coats. The mirror turned out fantastic.
Thank you my friend
Great video. I’m about to spray my 64 Cadillac, 1st time doing anything like this. People like you give people like me the confidence to do such a job. Thanx from Ireland
Glad I could help....gotta love a 64 Cadillac in Ireland
Thank you for the info I appreciate it.
Good explanation and demonstration.
Thanks Sean
I started my own paintshop and i love your instructions!Great channel keep it up,support from Serbia! :))
That is great!!! Thank you
This was a very helpful video. Ive wanted to try this for years. I learned a lot I had never saw before and the guy was very knowledgeable. Thanks my friend Im gonna try it!
You can do it Andy!
great vidio, helped alot.
Thanks for this. I am a beginner in painting.
You can do it
Really appreciate the time you took with this video Pete. As a painting rookie these kinds of basic "how to" videos are very helpful. Keep up the good work!
Glad it was helpful!
Good sir, this is the video I've been looking for. I'm looking at getting some air sprayers for my high school students and had so many questions! Thank you very much!
Awesome, happy to help them
Thanks a lot for help
Pete, thank you for blasting through all the B.S and explaining the painting process and all important gun set up! (That was huge for me personally) and for us Garage guys. Thanks to you, I now am getting professional results with Zero Orange peel resulting in glass like finish’s using my Devilbliss finish line gun with a 1.5 needle. Of course using quality 2k paints. Thank you so much, you really turned me into a damn good painter by getting down to the nitty gritty.
I'm happy it helped Paul, thank you
THANKS A LOT, this is how all youtubers should detail things, greetings from Colombia whenever you read this
Thanks you, Greetings from the US
Viva Colombia!
Thank goodness. Finally a video from start to finish and what to do. It was a bit daunting starting out on my first venture away from rattle cans. I got the gear but had no idea. My supplier was very calm and patient like you. Everything starts to happen so quickly. I have made all the mistakes but I think that is a good thing as at least I am learning. Thanks again
That is the only way to learn. Even the best painters make mistakes, it means you're trying.
nice very in formative thanks
Great Job!!!!
Thanks my friend
Love your presentation. No fluff just valuable information while you show us how to do it. Thank you. David
Thanks David
Thanks. I wish you tube was around 15 years ago when I taught myself how to paint. You had some great tips that will help me out even now.
I agree, thanks for watching
hey man I just watched a few videos I like to say that they are helpful keep up the good job man I'm learning a lot of stuff from you but hey I don't know if you have any videos on buffing and polishing if you have any tips or tricks for that that would be great I've been doing hydro dipping lately and I've been doing a little buffing here and there but man that is hard.
Thanks Matt. I will be doing some painting soon so I can do a color sanding and polishing video
Buffing and polishing is not hard by no means but like yourself I was once new to it as well. My recommendation is this. Go to a scrap yard and buy a black fender or a hood with curves or edges and practice. If you can find ones with sharp edges (this is where people generally fuck it up) and learn how to use your polisher on/around these edges.
A best of all tip I was told when I first started humpteen yrs ago in a body shop is let the tool and polish do the work and do not force the tool. Once you start to force the tool then you are inviting fuck ups.
I bought a 2002 Sonoma ZR5 in black, and after the fact (not that it really mattered as I loved the little mini truck) I was not happy with the finish of the clear coat and the shine. I really had very little knowledge of painting then or clear coats or how thick the layers were. But I tackled the thing with 800 through 6000 (it was labeled in micros from lee valley) grit paper that I use to polish my chisels to a mirror finish. It took from friday after work til 4 am sunday morning to finish under halogen lights. The guys at work asked if i painted my tuck over the weekend and I told them I just wet sanded it and waxed.
Another tip if you choose to wet sand. 4-6 passes over any given area with 800 will give you your first stage of level. Jump to 1600 or at min 1200. Still use the 4-6 passes. Then jump to 25-26-2800 then to 6k.
My method now is always double the last grit and if I can find it double it + 2-400. If i cannot find it I step up to 6-800. better a few extra passes than the one pass that burns through with a lower grit.
A $100-500 tip is alot better than paying out $6-1000 to fix your fuck up and your fuck up being spread via social media.
great video!
This is so helpful for the newbie DIYer that just wants to spray a small project. It's an intimidating process to get into for the first time, so thanks! Subbed.
You are so welcome!
Excellent video! Thank you. I just bought a semi for our farm and im going to paint it case ih red. Your vids are great!
Have fun!
Great vid! YOU ARE TALENTED
Thank you my friend!
excellent video sir!
Thank you my friend
Thank you for making this video! I’m getting ready to be a first time painter and this answered so many questions!!
Glad it was helpful! You can do it
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your instruction on the use and maintenance of spray guns. As a guy who is hungry to learn this art, I am all ears and eyes. This is good fundamental information for guys like me that most professionals won't, or don't have the time to explain to the greenhorn like me. Thanks again.
Awesome! Good luck to you my friend
very intresting
Great video, just starting to learn and will paint a front bumper cover for a Honda, you mentioned sealer is this the same as primer?
Primer goes on first and the sealer will protect everything when you apply the base coat. If you don't use sealer the base could melt whatever is underneath it.
@@PetesGarage thanks, your videos are great!
Thank you Dave
Great information, I've been shooting paint for a lot of years one or two jobs per year, even back to the days of Dulux then onward thru Centari and now base clear paints. You are totally spot on. My guns are older non HVLP and some early HVLP with suction cups (mounted below the gunbase) Your cleaning segment is so totally important and I hope all that do painting pay very close attention to the cleaning process Thanks again, Glen Tarilton
Thanks Glen, I agree, always keep the gun clean
I have always been apprehensive using clear coat but you have given me much confidence, I am using it tomorrow! Thanks for your time.
You can do it
Great video, thank you
Watched one painting video and was about to give up on the idea all together. Then I watch this one and decided that I might still be in the game for giving it a shot.
Thanks man.
You can do it with a little practice.
So Pete, I haven’t painted in many years, and wow. Today’s paint process has really changed. Long story short. Your info saved my paint gun. Thanks. I appreciate your knowledge.
That's great, thanks Dean
First time watcher & watch the whole video I’m looking to paint something & glad I came across this helped a lot
Thanks Mark
Pete is a stand up guy! Took time to answer my questions outside of TH-cam. Much appreciated!
Any time my friend
I don't know anything about auto body. I found this video extremely informative! You just got a subscriber! Thank you and looking forward for more videos.
Welcome my friend. I have about 120 videos so it will take you awhile...lol
Thanks a bunch Pete. For someone who is attempting their first paint job, this has been very helpful. Much appreciated.
You are very welcome my friend
Pete, you have done an excellent job explaining who is the ideal candidate for watching this video. That particular comment was quite valuable, as it fit my situation perfectly. 1st time painter, brand new gun, old boat & new project!
The clock in the background and cleaning your gun was perfect.
I learned a lot, wish me luck.
Ken
You can do it Ken
Hey Pete...just wanted to give you a quick shout out. I'm new to spraying, and have been looking for an informative video that covers the basics. You did an excellent job answering the beginner questions that I have swirling in my brain, lol. Thank you for your hard work putting this video together. It is much appreciated and very helpful.

Extremely helpful video ,I like how you showed the proper way to clean the gun ,so helpful can't thank you enough for this video
You are very welcome my friend
Great Job Pete! I learned more from this than the last 25 videos i have seen, Keep up the great work you should have a reality show
Thank you very much my friend.
I actually live in Rochester, NY and will be painting a bumper for the first time in a couple days. I'll be buying paint and clearcoat from Auto Finishers on Clinton Ave, so it was nice to hear you know about them and gave a good reference. Thank you for your video, it was very informative, easy to understand, and helpful!
They are good guys to deal with
thankyou PETE FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM greatly appreciated especialy cleaning procedure and even more importantly respirator and skin protection
Thanks David
Thank you Pete, your info is very useful, i am planning to paint some parts of my VW Polo 6N (1997), therefore i make make a small paint booth at home to paint separate and small parts. Watching you working, gives me more confidence .
You can do it. Just practice a little with the gun and take your time.
You did a fine job of explaining of every thing but especially cleaning the gun. I have painted before and I still learned. Thank you
Thank you Robert
Many thanks Pete as I have learnt much from your video and am now keen to attempt my first basic project.
Glad to help
From the Kingdom of Cambodia.
First time, and a lot of luck I got, by catching your channel on TH-cam.
I did learned more from your video, than I have from others before.
Basic and simple information about handling the spray gun. Your tips have been very helpful to me.
Thank you for it.
Thank you for watching!
Love people like this guy! explained everything in simple instructions and produced great results A+ likes to share his knowledge instead of acting cocky like most people on youtube and promotes peace in the comment section! just subscribed keep up the great work man!
Thank you Marcus, we are all here to learn. I really don't like it when I see a video and the guy knows everything and can't speak in complete sentences without using profanity, simply not professional to me.
You answered my Harbor Freight question real quick. Think I'm going to spray my 1990 ZR-1. I'm watching this to the end, I got more questions! Thanks, greatly appreciated. 👍👍
Awesome, good luck
your presentation was excellent especially for someone like me who is a car enthusiast that is good with mechanics that has always wanted to paint my own car. a big thank you Yvan from Montreal
Thank you, with some practice you can do it
Hi Pete. I've been watching your video's for a while now and love them. It's kind of funny, I sent your link to my cousin who also says he loves your video's. The funny thing is we both had trouble figuring out what it was about you that was so familiar. Well, you answered it for us... We are both originally from Rochester!!!!! In the past I didn't feel it necessary to chat that up, but after watching this video I felt the need as we also bought out paint goods from Auto Finishers.... And you are absolutely right. They are great peeps... I've been in Florida for 22 years now, so I figure all the guys I knew are probably gone, but yes, they were great!!! Keep up the great videos my friend. I'm all crippled up these days, so I get to live through peeps like you... Enjoy......................
That is an awesome story. Thanks for sharing. I like them because they're not all corporate. Most of them are car guys just helping other car guys. Thank you my friend
Great tutorial on how to paint your vehicle! It will come in handy as I'll use this knowledge to paint my own car for the first time using a LVLP paint gun. Thanks, Pete.
You can do it Larry
@@PetesGarage Thank you for those kind words, Pete. I am so excited about this journey!!
First one of your painting vids I have watched; thanks not only for the information, but for building my confidence that I can do this! :-)
You can do it Steve. Just practice a little first.
Even though this is an older video I really enjoyed the watch. Much more able to relate to you than so many other TH-camrs focusing on paint and body. I just received 2 Devilbiss guns today and will start collecting everything else over the coming months. I'm bound and determined to repaint my 23yr old Landcruiser and my sons 22yr old Tacoma after pricing how much it would cost to have a shop so it. Subbed and liked. Thanks again👍
You can do it Mark
Love the way its detailed thanks. No Jibber Jabber about unnecessary stuff. Great video I am a beginner and this has really done a lot for me.
Awesome! You should pick it up quick
Wow! thank you! much appreciated! I will have to watch this a couple more times for things to sink in ,but I really like how you explain things!
You are so welcome!
Outstanding video! I watched the whole thing without fast forwarding. Lots of good information. You did a marvelous job explaining.
Thank you Jesse
Great video. I just retired and I'm going to take up auto Painting as a hobby. You answered several of my questions about spray guns. Thank you.
Congratulations....have fun!
Thank you. Am a 30 year Gasoline Service Station owner/operator doing body work as a side. But stopped when LP/HV guns came out. I am spaying two doors and am a bit rusty. Your Video was very informative. Thank you 👍
Awesome, good luck Ken
Pete, thank you for the video. I am a first time sprayer, and found your vid very helpful.
Awesome Mark, thank you
I appreciate how you answered the Q & A as I had some of the same questions. I haven't painted in over 30 years and I'm going to attempt painting my 52 Chevy emerald green with pearl, But you shed needed info for me to attempt to move forward. Hope I don't screw up! Thanks again!
You can do it!
@@PetesGarage I'll give it my best. Thanks!!
Thanks Pete this video answered all of my questions - seven years old and still excellent and relevant. It’s well on its way to 1 million views. I can’t tell how much help this has been - all the best mate from a wet and windy UK.
Thanks my friend. It's wet and windy in Buffalo NY too
very informative.. well balanced presentation, I learned a lot from your video, will use as a reference. keep up the good work.
Thanks David...I'm trying
Thanks for the clear information on spraying Pete. I had a go at spraying before watching this and messing with setting of gun and there always seemed to be lines or light marks in it afterwards. The paint came out a lot better and I am happy with results
That's awesome, thanks John
Studying motor vehicle spray paint repair using this as revision, thanks dude appreciate it

Thank you Pete. you covered all the questions I had in this video extremely helpful I look forward to watching more of your videos
Awesome, thank you!
Going to be painting my motorcycle soon. Very informative video! I work at a body shop in my early 20’s and it just brings back tons of memories. I only painted with Single stage. Boy have things changed.
You can do it!
Enjoyed your help I am not an expert I haven't painted a whole car for 20 years. I am doing a long awaited project, my 69 chevelle. I plan to use base / clear coat. Most of my work was lac.
