I can’t speak for anyone else but your one of the best teachers on TH-cam. It’s basic DIY for the everyone. Great content and always positive and honest in your videos. Thank you for sharing and taking the time to teach others.
Why isn’t it done the right way? It looks good and even the professional jobs don’t last. I’ve seen it a bunch. No need to sell your work short. Awesome job as usual. 👍
Thanks. I know I will have “them people” in my comments either way just wanted to get it out there so if they said it I could say “I said that already” lol
The wax and tar remover stuff really does make a huge difference. I did one panel with and one panel without to test it a while back and it’s a night and day difference. Wax and tar remover is by far the way to go when prepping for paint.
I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to teach people like myself the craft. To be totally honest, I love to keep up with my Ghetto Hooptie, but I'm currently in a situation where I don't have or could afford to pay to get everything done. That being said, a lot of the things on my car have been done by me on a budget. It's really satisfying to see the progress and ending of all my projects. If it wasn't for you guys doing these videos, I would have never been able to do this work. It's not perfect, but they look alright to me. In the end, that's all that matters.
hey brother, i think you rocked it..which leads me to ask a question, i have a 02 rsx with a faded carbon fiber hood. ive never sanded before although ive done my fair share of rattle canning along the years. I want to reclear it myself i just get nervous about the sanding aspect. do you have any advice for the dude not trying to give the shop down the street $1000 :) lol thank you
I was looking for this kind of stuff because I bought a car for $1200 from my sister and really the only thing that it needs is a paint job body shop estimates $4000 so thanks for making these videos
After watching this, I had to subscribe! Thank you for all the great advice. Your efforts are on point, and you mention the industry; which can be strict for competitive reason, but that's not what this is all about. The DIY'ers out there can fix up our rides by buying ourselves sometime. 👍
I still get so amped for new paint videos! Lol! You did the usual killer job on this one. I loved the RSX when they first came out and I considered buying one for a while. A Zelda theme sounds so cool! One of my favorite games for sure. Congratulations on the subscribers. I show everyone these videos so I'm sure you'll be there in no time. God bless you and keep giving us top tier content. 😃😄😁😆😂
@@JamesDguy you're certainly among my favorite TH-cam channels. Without you I wouldn't have even tried to paint my car or really work on it so thank you sir.
Your so cool bro keep it up!! With you lived near me I would pay you to fix my car and do some paint work and it would look great but you're 2,000 mi away bro LOL Massachusetts and Texas aren't close
Phucking what is up my dude. You are epic and inspire thousands to be artists. God bless you bra! I keep forgetting the thumbs up the Irish tat my dude, THUMBS UP!
I’m not keeping the hatch black though I did a black roof hood and trunk before and it was okay but black and Texas don’t get along well. Too hott in the summer and that black is HOTT in the summer
Another great spray can paint job! You make it look easy. I just tried it with Rustoleum metallic blue on the hood of my GS400 and it didn't look even. I had issues with concentrations of metallic in certain areas and uneven gloss finish. I ended up using 6 cans of color and 4 cans of 2k Spraymax. I wasted $190. I sanded the old clear coat and some base coat and then primered the whole surface to get a uniform color. Then I gave it a light sand with 400 and 600. I gave the color cans a warm water bath prior to use to hopefully get even coverage and still failed :( Any suggestions/advice would greatly be appreciated.
Fantastic job (as usual). You didn't wet sand after painting... I'm wondering if you're just waiting until the whole paint job is complete? BTW, your channel is always my go-to when I'm about to posing my car. Thank you.
I hope when it's time for me to spray paint my car it comes out as good as this one. I want a silk kind of black . I want to use Black, Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Gloss Turbo Protective Enamel Spray Paint.
This will crack, fade and look like 💩 after 90 days and 180 days you will cry because of the looks of your poor car, buy auto paint, not iron paint, this is great for rusty tractor or old rims, not for steel body’s, it’s too thick and hard to sand off after you see what it done to your car, if your after a pretty car, use auto paint and auto clear coat, did this and hated the painting I had done to my pickup. Took,12 cans, but will never do it again,
Hey there! I’m sure you have been asked before but not trying to search thousands+ comments lol. Have you ever used the fan type attachment (that typically Walmart sells) for painting that has the handle? I’ve used it before for painting wheels and thought it worked decent but I’m thinking about attempting to paint my Tahoe myself and was wondering what you think would work the best either using one or not using one!
So I take it the truck went BYE BYE ? Car looks kool its going to be an awesome follow video & what paint will you be using ? Again the blk paint came out awesome be standing for the next one.
Yes truck is gone it was cool and I got my use out of it but it wasn’t getting the views or attention it deserved so cut my losses. My job is TH-cam and video views are how my pay checks are calculated and I was putting in a lot of time and money and it wasn’t paying off or even breaking even so had to cut my losses and move to something worth while and so far the views have jumped up big time on each video with this car. On to better things anyways. This is a TYPE S!
Thanks for the detailed how to! Been subbed since I bought my CRV and found the video you did with the pink! If you have time I've got 2 questions: were the 7 cans paint/ 6 cans clear enough for the CRV? I've been scrubbing through that video for a while and can't find the most straightforward answer. Also, in your professional opinion, what spray can most closely matches a brittish racing green? I'm looking at the rustoleum Gloss Hunter Green, or maybe one of the darker greens from something like Montana Cans (graffiti style paint)
Not sure on the green but hunter green might be close and with the temperature being 65-70 no wind and in a garage/ shop using my spray technique I was able to use that 7 cans of paint and 6 cans of 2K clear. I recommend 8 cans of each. I lay the paint on thick so it don’t need re coated but some like thin coats 2 times but I get best results with it thick enough to be glossy but not thick enough to run. It takes some practice but hope it helps! Thanks for the support all these years
I tried the dupli-color on my faded clear coat peered roof. It did not look good at all. It has lines on it and not even. Based on youtube, it may be that small can of duplic-color is for touch up only and not for hood, trunk or roof. That spray tips is very narrow. I need to re-do with Rustoleum auto paint. Any suggestion? Thanks for the video.
This might be a dumb question, but I'll ask it. I just recently sprayed 2 coats on my car (first attempt) and got a little bit of striping in some spots. My question is can I wet sand and spray a 3rd coat a week after the first 2 coats to try and fix the striping? Thanks and keep up the great channel!
Usually the answer is yes you can but some paints wrinkle up after another coat weeks later and idk why exactly but it’s not always the case. You could definitely try it and see what happens but worse case scenario you have to re do that whole panel
Protective enamel is better but in some situations I like the 2X paint. It would be even better if I did 2K clear from spraymax. Don’t confuse the 2K and 2X because they are different
I have done it both ways without any problems. I typically like to do a little primer but with the rustoleum paint and primer it seems to not have a issue bonding and rust never happens in them spots so I say you should be good but do at your own risk.
My fairings on my bike have clear over vinyl decals. Also just vinyl stencil work. I know you can buy stencil vinyl at a craft store like Michael's and Hobby Lobby
Fully cured i don’t know but I handle it after a few hours to be safe. Depending on what paint you use. The advanced formula is slow drying and takes a day or 2 to be fully dry to the touch.
@@chistianjoshua9498 If it don’t look like the 2X cans they take longer to dry. Maybe 24 hours before it’s dry to the touch.might be sooner or longer due to temperature and other factors.
@@JamesDguy thanks for taking the time to reply to us all! Means a lot! Quick question let’s say I have a couple of runs or orange peals, when would be the best time to wet sand? After a couple of weeks or after dry to the touch ?
Can’t do them for other people thanks to my snitch neighbors and haters on TH-cam. I don’t have a shop location and city is on me for painting in my garage.
@@JamesDguy dam, that sucks and I remembered you saying that in one of the video you uploaded last year. But yeah, keep up the good work. I am learning haha 😄
@@JamesDguy why do you think it’s junk? Is it because of the wrinkling that may happen? From what I read, you need to let it dry for a long time between coats, like a whole 24 hours.
lame that we dont have rustoleum product in eastern europe. Any suggestions for same price range alternatives? Ive used motip/multicolor spraycans with same results myself but i have to buy primer/base paint + color + 2k gloss separately - dont worry, still cheaper than buying the service. Just browsing for good alternatives!
So today was my first day doing this! I took all your steps but couldn’t get it done the right way, I have patches of gloss and it really looks unprofessional! But a bit better than how it originally was. Help?
I believe I saw in another video you talking about doing these cars with the spray cans in a garage if possible. I live in an apartment and I’m parked under a car port which only has a canopy overhead, so no protection from wind, which you also mentioned to avoid if possible. And I think you noted in a video that the paint takes 24 hours to fully cure? Does that mean you wouldn’t drive the car to work the very next Monday morning after sitting overnight from Sundays spray job? I’m just wondering what kind of results I’ll get if I did my entire car but pretty much one panel at a time, trying to time it with weather forecast between windy days. These videos you’re doing have me wanting to finally make my car look nice the way it deserves. Pretty straight body but it’s had peeling clear coat and paint since I got it
I was going too another one but the hood isn’t good for it because it’s body line right in the middle. I might test it on a junkyard hood and see if I can pull it off and if so then YES!
Fishing line and heat together on older cars works perfect to protect the emblems from breaking I want you get the technique down the spraying heavy heavy wet coats and as heavy as possible and get used to the type of pain you're using and catching the runs you can spray down some wet paint jobs and they'll look shiny as glass with the clear once you get that technique down you can have some amazing paint jobs it's all depends on how heavy and wet you can put the paint down without it running and fish eyeing and orange peeling show cars when the gas tank those those painters that paint show cars they'll even tell you lay down the paint as wet as possible for every coat unless you're doing a special paint job or it's the first two coats you do it light then wet and then of course with your clear you want to do a really heavy wet coat and then a medium wet coat on the rest of the coats that first coat if you got your clear rough it's going to be ugly and never ever let the paint dry in there or paint when it's too hot out because when you get rough texture on paint that's cuz you're spraying too far away two lighted coats too fast and not wet enough or it's too hot out you want the paint wet wet wet when it goes on and make sure you overlap correctly as well so you don't get streaks and you can chase the streaks up and down the panel as well as your painting you'll see the streets come in then you can go back down a little bit and you can chase the streaks back out I'm making it wetter lighter in a certain spots you'll get the hang of it after you've painted a few panels and stuff just takes practice
My car has a matte rough "stucco" type finish to it. I have no idea how to prep it for painting, can't sand, can't wipe down with a cloth. Might just pressure wash hopefully get any grease off
Love your style,presentation and technique.Awesome job! You're blessed to have a great wife who lets you enjoy your hobby and even helps out sometimes! As Paul Allen (Minnesota Vikings radio announcer) would say,"Good job, young man!"
Sorry no can do. I don’t do work for others. Plus it would be most likely damaged during shipping and I would be liable and I don’t have that kinda money. I do the do it yourself videos so I can teach others to do it themselves. That’s the best I have to offer.
By far my favorite build yet! I love what you’re DOING WITH IT RIGHT NOW TOO!!!! 🙏💯💯💯💯🙏👆✝️✝️✝️✝️💯😂♿️♿️♿️😂💯🙏👆love ya brother! Keep on keeping on! STAY AWESOME! As you say!!! -Lil Josh CRM ChristianRidersMinistry-
Dont use a flathead screwdriver to remove emblems!!! Use a piece of fishing line or some kind of small gauge string. That way you wont gouge or damage the paint beneath the emblems.
Because it's a rattle can aka spray paint. Laying to light of coats and to far away with spray can will cause paint particles to be dry in the air and stick to the car and it will be rough. For a super glossy glossy high definition shine you're going to have to get a really good clear coat and get the wet sand down your base coat before you even clear coat it and you want to lay almost every single layer of paint down to where it's just about to run but not running same with the clear coat get that as wet as possible right before it runs and that is perfect because they'll be shiny after that
And because it's Matt black or satin black it's the same color and shinyness of brand new panels that come on black from factory that makes new panels or specialty body panels for custom looks
I don’t want gloss. I prefer matte/satin finish. Plus it’s not stay black this is just temporary till I get it all painted white. It would have been weird to have a what hatch and blue car. At least the black looks better lol
I was thinking the same thing until I read the title. Basically, he was showing us the cheap rattle can route. That’s why he used the semi gloss paint & primer spray paint.
So I just got a 2012 Hyundai sonata GLS with a brand new motor brand new transmission brand new AC everything brand new and it from the dealership they did all the work because of recall well the paint job isn't exactly great but it's not faded or anything but it's got a lot of swirls and stuff in it and I just don't feel like wet sanding it and buffing it out because the clear coat is a little too thin so I would literally let you come to my house with my shop and use my air compressor or even your spray cans and come to a use it for TH-cam video to do a paint job on it I will donate my car for you to do a video I will pay for the paint cans and everything that you need to do the video you just come and do the work cuz I hate doing body work lol even though I'm good at it. I'm 29 years old just restarted my life for the better. It's my daily driver. You can even paint my 2005 Chevy 2500 HD long wheel base 2 door truck that is a great truck paint just faded on it due to being 18 years old and when I got it the clear coat was thin cuse first owner decided to wet sand it and buff which he did good job besides taking off to much clear and few year later my hood is shot all faded clear so I got two vehicles for you to use for videos. I got a huge shop with a 1963 huge air compressor that was built for auto body shop for painting cars lol but it runs like a champ still and all the tools and air sanders and equipment you need to do the work faster so you can get to the spray painting part quicker. And I'll help do most of the prep work for you. And for plastic bumpers they sell a spray that you use and it etches the plastic microscopically so paint will never chip or flaks bit you need to use special automotive spray paint from auto body supply store for plastic cuse it's flexible and won't chip or crack ever and can be mixed in any color to match you want
Thank you so much for the offer but I don’t do mobile work for people and don’t do work for others in general anymore especially without having a business license for mechanic work. I can get away with it on my own car or familys vehicles for youtube because I get a 1099 for tax reasons from youtube but there are legal reasons and liability reasons I don’t have time to explain so I can’t do that stuff. I use to do it but now my channel has gained the wrong attention. The best I can do is DIY videos for people. Sorry. Appreciate the offer
you always end up orange peel finish, why you go right, left, backwards,and forward, you do not go overlap on spray loll, u don't go zikzak front and back, i do not understand all that sorry, if i end with orange peel,at least spray over 70 % cover edge,line, then sand it with 1600 grit to move all that orange peel and it will come PROFESSIONAL,

The wax and tar remover stuff really does make a huge difference. I did one panel with and one panel without to test it a while back and it’s a night and day difference. Wax and tar remover is by far the way to go when prepping for paint.
Yes i have had good luck using acetone or rubbing alcohol but the wax and tar stuff does awesome.
I did this to my Van doors then sprayed 2k clear still looks good after 4 years.

James, great video man! I have noticed you use rust oleum. Do you prefer the 2X like you used in this video or the protective enamel?
Protective enamel is better but in some situations I like the 2X paint. It would be even better if I did 2K clear from spraymax. Don’t confuse the 2K and 2X because they are different
Spray 2k clear coat on it Spray Max or Eastwood It will look even better after your base coat
Hi, did you test that steel wool on a headlights?
Don’t use on plastic headlights it will scratch them. I have used them on glass headlights and it works with glass

If bare metal is exposed should you prime it before using the 2x spray paint?
I have done it both ways without any problems. I typically like to do a little primer but with the rustoleum paint and primer it seems to not have a issue bonding and rust never happens in them spots so I say you should be good but do at your own risk.
Would you be willing? If you haven't already, do a slight tutorial for paint work with stencils.

2X clear coat is junk. I would rather no clear than 2X clear. If you used a matte 2K clear then it would last a long time
@@JamesDguy why do you think it’s junk? Is it because of the wrinkling that may happen? From what I read, you need to let it dry for a long time between coats, like a whole 24 hours.
lame that we dont have rustoleum product in eastern europe. Any suggestions for same price range alternatives? Ive used motip/multicolor spraycans with same results myself but i have to buy primer/base paint + color + 2k gloss separately - dont worry, still cheaper than buying the service. Just browsing for good alternatives!
So today was my first day doing this! I took all your steps but couldn’t get it done the right way, I have patches of gloss and it really looks unprofessional! But a bit better than how it originally was. Help?
I believe I saw in another video you talking about doing these cars with the spray cans in a garage if possible. I live in an apartment and I’m parked under a car port which only has a canopy overhead, so no protection from wind, which you also mentioned to avoid if possible. And I think you noted in a video that the paint takes 24 hours to fully cure? Does that mean you wouldn’t drive the car to work the very next Monday morning after sitting overnight from Sundays spray job? I’m just wondering what kind of results I’ll get if I did my entire car but pretty much one panel at a time, trying to time it with weather forecast between windy days. These videos you’re doing have me wanting to finally make my car look nice the way it deserves. Pretty straight body but it’s had peeling clear coat and paint since I got it
You can drive it next morning just don't touch it much
Looks good. Ud think ya done that b4
you like this doing this stuff so much just take the next step and get a iwata kiwami and a good air compressor and start painting.
I have a spray gun and compressor but can’t do it out of my garage plus I like doing it this way. Thanks for the comment
Are we going to see a light up triforce on the hood?
I was going too another one but the hood isn’t good for it because it’s body line right in the middle. I might test it on a junkyard hood and see if I can pull it off and if so then YES!
Fishing line and heat together on older cars works perfect to protect the emblems from breaking I want you get the technique down the spraying heavy heavy wet coats and as heavy as possible and get used to the type of pain you're using and catching the runs you can spray down some wet paint jobs and they'll look shiny as glass with the clear once you get that technique down you can have some amazing paint jobs it's all depends on how heavy and wet you can put the paint down without it running and fish eyeing and orange peeling show cars when the gas tank those those painters that paint show cars they'll even tell you lay down the paint as wet as possible for every coat unless you're doing a special paint job or it's the first two coats you do it light then wet and then of course with your clear you want to do a really heavy wet coat and then a medium wet coat on the rest of the coats that first coat if you got your clear rough it's going to be ugly and never ever let the paint dry in there or paint when it's too hot out because when you get rough texture on paint that's cuz you're spraying too far away two lighted coats too fast and not wet enough or it's too hot out you want the paint wet wet wet when it goes on and make sure you overlap correctly as well so you don't get streaks and you can chase the streaks up and down the panel as well as your painting you'll see the streets come in then you can go back down a little bit and you can chase the streaks back out I'm making it wetter lighter in a certain spots you'll get the hang of it after you've painted a few panels and stuff just takes practice
I ran out of breath reading that
Looks great bro
My car has a matte rough "stucco" type finish to it. I have no idea how to prep it for painting, can't sand, can't wipe down with a cloth. Might just pressure wash hopefully get any grease off
Love your style,presentation and technique.Awesome job! You're blessed to have a great wife who lets you enjoy your hobby and even helps out sometimes! As Paul Allen (Minnesota Vikings radio announcer) would say,"Good job, young man!"
Thank you 🙏🏻 I am blessed beyond all measure. My cup runneth over!
Do I always warm up the paint can or is that only for the clear can?
Can I ship you a bumper to paint? And can you ship it back after?
Sorry no can do. I don’t do work for others. Plus it would be most likely damaged during shipping and I would be liable and I don’t have that kinda money. I do the do it yourself videos so I can teach others to do it themselves. That’s the best I have to offer.
Ah I understand, thanks man! Really appreciate your content 🤙
By far my favorite build yet! I love what you’re DOING WITH IT RIGHT NOW TOO!!!! 🙏💯💯💯💯🙏👆✝️✝️✝️✝️💯😂♿️♿️♿️😂💯🙏👆love ya brother! Keep on keeping on! STAY AWESOME! As you say!!!

Curious how this stands up to gas? like when pumpking and you get that little gas drip on the side
You should paint an entire car with the glitter spray paint 🤩😎
I always tell people for certain job u can use a can ,ut all on how u spray it
Yes! I have seen roll on paint jobs come out like glass and i want to try it someday! lol
Some clear would have made alot of difference even being a cheap way to do it. One coast and cut and polished would’ve taken extra one hour
That was very orange peel when you peeled off the masking tape?
Don’t feel sorry bro it looks bad ass to be honest who care about what the “profesional “ ppl said
God bless you
Can’t you see the scratch marks through the paint from using 320 grit?
No it will work out fine, the primer will fill it in and smooth it out.
What was that sand paper the number
Mentioned at @11:23
320
Dont use a flathead screwdriver to remove emblems!!! Use a piece of fishing line or some kind of small gauge string. That way you wont gouge or damage the paint beneath the emblems.
My question is it doesn't shine/ a clear reflection like the original manufacture why is that?
Because it's a rattle can aka spray paint. Laying to light of coats and to far away with spray can will cause paint particles to be dry in the air and stick to the car and it will be rough. For a super glossy glossy high definition shine you're going to have to get a really good clear coat and get the wet sand down your base coat before you even clear coat it and you want to lay almost every single layer of paint down to where it's just about to run but not running same with the clear coat get that as wet as possible right before it runs and that is perfect because they'll be shiny after that
And because it's Matt black or satin black it's the same color and shinyness of brand new panels that come on black from factory that makes new panels or specialty body panels for custom looks
🙏🙏Try to do the carbon fiber effect 👍👍
That would be cool but I don’t like the fake carbon look.
Blue looked good in the dark then the sun ow my who hell painted that half assed
If you go through all the work of sanding and taping just buy a 15 dollar harbor freight gun and spray rust ilium with hardener catalyst
Yeah as long as you have or van afford the $500+ compressor to properly run your $15 Harbor Freight paint gun 🤬
Where do you find the rust oleum catalyst?
Bump 👌🏼
Appreciate you!
@@JamesDguy 😃
It would have been even better to put a gloss coat on it aswell.
I don’t want gloss. I prefer matte/satin finish. Plus it’s not stay black this is just temporary till I get it all painted white. It would have been weird to have a what hatch and blue car. At least the black looks better lol
Hi pal, seen the video of the pink crv, any news on how it’s holding up?
Or any of the cars you have painted in the past with spray cans?
It’s gone
150 grit first then primer
320 grit.
Just one can for the rear hatch?
It didn’t even use half the can but yea.
I'm fine
Awesome 👏🏻 glad to hear!

What happened to the clear coat
I was thinking the same thing until I read the title.
Basically, he was showing us the cheap rattle can route. That’s why he used the semi gloss paint & primer spray paint.

So I just got a 2012 Hyundai sonata GLS with a brand new motor brand new transmission brand new AC everything brand new and it from the dealership they did all the work because of recall well the paint job isn't exactly great but it's not faded or anything but it's got a lot of swirls and stuff in it and I just don't feel like wet sanding it and buffing it out because the clear coat is a little too thin so I would literally let you come to my house with my shop and use my air compressor or even your spray cans and come to a use it for TH-cam video to do a paint job on it I will donate my car for you to do a video I will pay for the paint cans and everything that you need to do the video you just come and do the work cuz I hate doing body work lol even though I'm good at it. I'm 29 years old just restarted my life for the better. It's my daily driver. You can even paint my 2005 Chevy 2500 HD long wheel base 2 door truck that is a great truck paint just faded on it due to being 18 years old and when I got it the clear coat was thin cuse first owner decided to wet sand it and buff which he did good job besides taking off to much clear and few year later my hood is shot all faded clear so I got two vehicles for you to use for videos. I got a huge shop with a 1963 huge air compressor that was built for auto body shop for painting cars lol but it runs like a champ still and all the tools and air sanders and equipment you need to do the work faster so you can get to the spray painting part quicker. And I'll help do most of the prep work for you. And for plastic bumpers they sell a spray that you use and it etches the plastic microscopically so paint will never chip or flaks bit you need to use special automotive spray paint from auto body supply store for plastic cuse it's flexible and won't chip or crack ever and can be mixed in any color to match you want
Thank you so much for the offer but I don’t do mobile work for people and don’t do work for others in general anymore especially without having a business license for mechanic work. I can get away with it on my own car or familys vehicles for youtube because I get a 1099 for tax reasons from youtube but there are legal reasons and liability reasons I don’t have time to explain so I can’t do that stuff. I use to do it but now my channel has gained the wrong attention. The best I can do is DIY videos for people. Sorry. Appreciate the offer
you always end up orange peel finish, why you go right, left, backwards,and forward, you do not go overlap on spray loll, u don't go zikzak front and back, i do not understand all that sorry, if i end with orange peel,at least spray over 70 % cover edge,line, then sand it with 1600 grit to move all that orange peel and it will come PROFESSIONAL,
Paint the wheels black.
