Is there any disadvantage to using an electric random orbital sander? I have several, and instead of buying another tool I won't use much, I'd like to use what I have if it'll work.
That paint does match the original VW paint for peel. Please do another video of an all over as a true single stage and see if you can get it to lay down better. If you can get it to lay as good as a regular single stage, I'll buy it for all over. Otherwise, it's good for matching factory peel, if it will blend. Will it blend?
There are ways to blend a single stage in a DIY fashion - production or show car stuff you're going to want to use a base/clear for proper blends or paint entire panels. We'll have more on this line coming out soon!
After 3 professional $$ PPG clears gone bad in 36 months, i went to acrylic enamel on my cars and get 10 yrs service for $55 gallon bright red. Not as shiney but better than the deteriorating alternative.
I, confused, why an under coat on a single stage ? Or a base clear, is it a 3 stage pearl or are you just trying to get coverage ? And hate to be a troll but base is easier in my oppinion , more coats buy you can correct the base for runs and dust before the clear and cut the mistakes in the clear after. Not always an option with single metallics
The VW Paint Code is a peal or Tri-Coat, so it requires a base color Blue and then the Pearl coat. But it's the "single stage system" because no clear is needed.
If you're car is straight and all you want to do is add additional top coats you could sand with 600-800 on a DA/SCUFF and then shoot a pearl coat and re-clear.
@@eastwoodco watch you guys a lot and man ya make it look so easy and simple and I had never ever attempted anything like this saw these videos I’m like what that’s it lol haha
We have another one in the works but we offer this for now: www.eastwood.com/astro-pneumatic-500-lumen-rechargeable-lightweight-spray-gun-color-match-light-cri-95-51sl.html
We have base coat available in aersol cans. They would need a clear coat applied after - like our 2k AeroSpray Clear. OEM: www.eastwood.com/oempaint/selecting/brandmakeyear AersoSpray Clear: www.eastwood.com/eastwood-2k-aerospray-clear-coat-high-gloss-2pc.html
It gets as hard as any traditional top coat - and can be wet sanded and buffed a few days later. Our single stage has UV protection built into it so you will have years of life from a great paint job.
price is way too high. don't know what you are basing your price from? you can get it local for about half the price and it's a name brand paint like ppg. sorry guys
Our price is for Ready To Spray Base Coat is competitive with other's in the market. We also have budget friendly options if you're doing a Full Re-Spray in the $100 range for base coat with our large library of pre-mixed colors. www.eastwood.com/eastwood-4-1-twilight-sky-pearl-basecoat-128oz.html
Wrong. My local shop carries single stage paint at an average $500 per gallon with hardener at the cheapest. Depending on color. No comparison in price and even admitted they can’t come close to Eastwoods prices.
Single stage paints do not require a clearcoat. They still require activator and sometimes a reducer. The base of a base / clear system is too soft and dull to survive without a clearcoat to protect it. It also needs the clear for UV protetction. 1K paints are ready to spray. One component. 2K paints are an activator and the product. It’s worth paying for a 2K because they are so much more durable: a car painted with one will look ten times better in 5 years than one sprayed with Rustoleum. No matter how expertly applied.
The paint job's orange peel is right on par with the factory peel on the car - as shown at 7:17. You can always buff it up more to knock some of that down.
The worst think is that people that they new in this paint stuff don’t know better watching this videos 😂😂 i would proud to say i did better that factory paint no saying i match their shit 😂
i dont agree. the best paint for beginners is bccc. with single stage you get 1 shot. whatever mistakes you make you live with. with bccc you split up the job and you have 3 chances to get it right. first you get the base color right. once thats done you get 2 more chances to get the clear right.
@@vhehn A beginner is likely not going to want to spend 2x the cost on primer/sealer, basecoat & clearcoat, hardeners reducers and more. Especially because if they screw up bad, its much easier and more cost effective to redo primer and ready-to spray single stage. If there are any mistakes on basecoat or clearcoat, the likelihood of messing up when trying to repair those is way more likely with a beginner painter. Imagine spraying your basecoat and clear too light, then when sanding out the inevitable orange peel they burn through both. A beginner won't have the knowledge or experience to fix it properly.
As we mention in the video the ultimate point is to give YOU options when approaching your next job. Single Stage is less steps, less material to purchase, and can still be buffed afterwards - a first time painter might find this advantageous.
Single stage. Awesome. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome.
@@eastwoodco omg the light attachment is something else!
As a low experience hobby painter, I find dual stage much easier as the spraying runs much less and you can correct mistakes along the process.

We haven't used one personally but assuming you can get the same grits: 80, 180, 320, 600 it should be no problem.

That's why we provide you with options! From single stage, base, clear, pearls, we have what you're looking for.
@@eastwoodco If I wanted paint I would not depend on Eastwood
You can color sand and buff single stage

Exactly right.

I’m a newbie with paint but my car is black now can I sand down my old clear and put new clear with Pearl pigments?

I mix clear with single for last coat.
That's an option, but kind of eliminates the benefit of using single stage.
Like the gun, where can I get the light for the gun

Is this available in a spray can yet?

How hard does single stage get and how durable is it? What kind of lifespan ate we talking about before fading?
It gets as hard as any traditional top coat - and can be wet sanded and buffed a few days later. Our single stage has UV protection built into it so you will have years of life from a great paint job.
How do you call this single stage? Its base coat top coat
It's a little tricky because its a peal color, but this paint job had no clear coat applied so it's "Single Stage" paint.

Yes there price are high just too put eastwood on it 😮 better product out there
I thought the whole single stage deal was that it was suppose to just pour and paint no mixing
It can be! That's a RTS (Ready to Spray) Version. When ordering you can check whether you want it ready to spray or not.

Sorry, that paint job is not good. Set your gun up better for virtually no orange peel. That peel is too heavy.
Lot of cut and buff to do!
The paint job's orange peel is right on par with the factory peel on the car - as shown at 7:17. You can always buff it up more to knock some of that down.
😂 i don think any car has that degree of orange peel especially German car like WV

SS is excellent for a beginner. It is same as spray can but obviously better.
Why does the camera operator think this is a good time to do a showcase of his "talents" for a Hollywood career?
Do you mean interesting shot selection, movement, and depth of field? We're a professional video production studio.
It's not really single stage if you have to put on a precoat first
The paint system is a single stage - the color is a pearl. There's not really anyway to get around that besides choosing a different color.
To slow bro
What's too slow?
You should consider taking this video down.
We considered it... it's staying.
Orange peel galore, so be ready to cut and buff, just look close as he scans the job.
Broo horrible orange peel too much pressure in your gun
It matches the factory finish on the quarter 🤷♂️
lmfao ya single stage is easier as long as you do not care about outcome.
