I've done this job before, here's what I did differently: 1. I took the hood off. It was easier to just remove the hood than to mask the entire vehicle. YMMV, it largely depends on how many things you need to disconnect from the hood, and how heavy it is (my Ranger has an aluminum hood so I only had to deal with bulk; a steel hood is more likely a two-man job). Taking the hood off also gives you the opportunity to hang it and paint on a vertical surface instead of a horizontal one. With spray cans, this is better. 2. I wet-sanded with 2000 grit between base and clear coat applications to help reduce orange peel. 3. I spent on my primer and clear coat with 2k supplies but went cheap on the color, because it was black. If you have a tougher color, a body shop supply store is a good choice, but quality is more important on your primer and clear than it is on your color.
There's a lazier/easier way - get some laquer & varnish remover spray - they do it in aerosols.. spray it on the clearcoat, let it work, use a plastic scraper to scrape off the old clear. Wash the panel down well, use a grey scotchbrite pad to lightly scuff the original base & provide a key... spray on fresh clearcoat.. Go have a beer. :-)
Love this tip. Going to store the information in my commodore 64. I say that cause my memory sucks, not to a say anything bad about your approach. I truly am going to save that information/write it down!
I am a subscriber from way back. One of the things you have done from the beginning is you don't edit out all the bloopers or your mistakes. It makes so much more "real" so when we screw up we don't feel bad. Thanks for another very practical and actually doable fix. PS That looks like Fallbrook
The problem with doing large areas with those spray cans is not that the paint is bad. Its catalyzed paint, its fine. The issue is the small amount of paint it delivers. It puts such a thin coat its hard to get it to flow and level out. You can never it it on right enough to buff either
I am a 40+ year combination collision repair shop owner. I got quite a chuckle when you started sanding with 600 on that hood. I have people come in wanting work like that performed. I won't do it. I'm glad there are guys like you to show them how to patch up their paint. Because, when the remaining clear that you covered up finishes coming off, it will take all that material you sprayed over it with it. That's why I say it's a patch job. You covered the problem. You didn't fix the problem. But it does look better than it did, to some folks. To me, it's more of a mess than it was. Lol. But your methods are fairly solid. With the exception of not stripping all the old clear and base down to the undercoats, or bare metal. You primed it 2 times, you could have stripped it and done it correctly with another hour of sanding in the beginning. I'll watch more of your content and try to be nice. Lol.
You’re an arrogant greedy body shop owner who rips people off especially through insurance companies. Some people can’t afford 5k for a partial paint job. Leave the guy alone. Chuckle DsNutz😊
@@kingboy19971 almost everything. protecting the bare metal with an etching primer is useful for allowing it to set for a time before finishing the surface prep work. Using a filler and/ or a high build primer to fill any imperfections in the metal from the sanding/ stripping or hail, golf balls, etc is important. Sanding the final primer with 600 to 800 grit prior to applying the base color is important for a smooth uniform color. Keeping the surface clean of dirt and contaminants up to the point of clear coat application will help with the final shine and appearance. Its hard to get a good finish with a spray can, on a large surface, with no control of the thinner used in the color and clear. Spray can material is normally formulated to dry fast. Fast is not great for color and clear. Matched to the ambient air temperature and surface temperature is preferred. There's more, but these are the high points. IMHO the video is good basic info. The clear he feathered and primed, colored, and clear coated over will fail, taking his material with it. The other thing, stripping the panel to bare metal will allow the applied material to dry, shrink, and cure uniformly. Priming over old substrates will show up as rings in the new paint job in a short time. Long term the old material will fail, recreating the original problem.
@@davidmorton8170of course. That's the best that truck is gonna get. Of course there are better ways to do it. This is the internet. It always gonna get some "expert" that would do this or that. Or would charge this much because they are gods gift to whatever. Lmaoooo. Imagine sanding that old ass hood down to bare metal. Whoever suggested that is out of their mind.
You never want to do continuously spray with an aerosol can......take long pauses between passes. The chemical propellant inside of the can needs to build-up pressure
Did paint jobs in the past on my Honda's. Nice to see your tutorial, very good. For this goes the more you do this job the better you get. Just take the first step, dare to do it.
I really appreciate this video for showing the real problems and defects coming out from the spraying process and results. These are the outcomes faced by most of the people out there as we are not in the professional painting line. Appreciate the time and the effort putting into this video as I know how much effort is required at doing just that.
I LOVE IT !!! The old man I worked for in my first body shop told me. You paint with your body, not your arm . Yes I would love to see what it looks like after a wet sand
These car companies should be paying for this. As a former detailer, we saw this constantly. People honestly should start holding these companies accountable, online. The clear coat quality, is unacceptable. Not even keeping it waxed, will stop it.
about factory coded paint #, I have an older car and had the factory color mixed. I was repairing/painting a square foot or so of damage on a door. The problem I ran into was the cars color, "beach sand", faded over time, 20 years or so even with cleaning and regular waxing. The result was that the "original" factory paint code color that was prepared was much darker than what the color of the car now was. I went back to the store and the color was diluted. This was done 3 times and the final result was still noticeably different. Even if the entire door panel was painted you would notice the color difference between the rear door and the rest of the car. This might not be a problem with darker colors though.
Nice. I've done a similar DIY painting in the past. For the paint color, I highly recommend asking the employee on the available paint lines that they can mix for your color. Some lines are garbage. I would stay away from PPG Omni line because it sprays VERY thin, so you waste more time with extra layers. Since it's thin, I could barely finish painting half a fender with it. You only get about 4 oz of paint in a 16oz can, so the rest is just the gas propellant. I had better experience with Metalux paint line. I still haven't found a method to use the 2k clear without getting massive orange peal.
I remember watching your older vid painting the hood of your truck when I was attempting to fill in a peeling paint spot on my Crown Vic's roof. I'm back here preparing to redo the whole roof now several years later as more has peeled away. You can't stop that mid 2000s Ford paint from peeling😮💨
Same on my 2005 Grand Marquis, the roof panel over the rear window even has rust, and the center back edge of the trunk lid. I live in the desert, the rust surprised me. 😕 Strangely, the hood is still okay . . . Love the comments at the end😆
Great video.i am about to do my Toyota Camry 2000 bonnet with rattle cans.i am a bit nervous about doing it.but after seeing your video it has given me a lot off confidence great job thank you
Great technique, looks great for paint out of a rattle can. We did a similar project on our channel a few weeks ago on our front bumper, it came out pretty nice for a rattle can. Keep up the great work.
My 2006 Toyota Tundra had some serious paint ugly problems on the hood and the roof ascribed to age and exposure, I’m sure. A friend tried to repair the paint but that attempt failed miserably. If I had seen your video I might have tried your method. Instead just more than $2,000 later, a body shop did a beautiful job. But it’s a 2006 and I could have saved a boatload doing it your way. Great video!
Excellent! Thanks for the video, this is helpful right now as I'm about to spray the clear coat on an old Forester bonnet and haven't had a stint in jail nor do I have a drug and alcohol problem. Will be doing it outside so I'll expect lots of 'orange peel'. Still, it can't be worse than the faded paint that was on there. Have a nice day.
This is off topic but it's a big pet peeve of mine and I think it needs to be addressed Alot if people don't understand that there's professionals that do above average to the top of the line work have spent thier entire adult lives teaching themselves how to work around their ADD/ADHD. I get very uncomfortable when people are around me watching me. They assumed that I'm doing something wrong because I don't want them there the fact is I cannot concentrate. I can see them out of the corner of my eye people with ADD when they get focused ..its a hyper focus and they start with flow thats extremely productive. it's a like a superpower once you train yourself but when people disrupt them it totally derails them it's their Kryptonite. I'm just saying this on this topic because it's would drive me crazy to have somebody there filming me especially somebody that didn't know me. Will you stop in the middle of something I don't want anybody to judge this guy it's not fair to him if he's not regularly being filmed
Wow, a lot more work than I figured to get a passable DIY job - 4 coats of paint and 5 coats of clearcoat! Thanks for the instructions, though. I especially liked your "career advice" at 23:20, haha!
I HAVE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!! So great to see you uploading again. Your videos inspired me and got me through some hard times. I started working on cars after watching you years ago.
Great job detailing the different steps and talking about why each is needed. Was hoping to hear what the total cost of materials ended up being (maybe I missed it) and the ballpark for a body shop to do the job. Thanks.
What if I want to use a roller? Yep, like painting the rumpus room. One color background and a slightly different color on top with a texture roller. Just do it! No overspray, just mask it and roll away. Of course some sanding prep is needed for adhesion. Gonna try it.
That actually looks pretty decent considering it was done with basic supplies. Not sure about how it looks in person, but on screen it looks like no repair was made. ❤
Thirty plus years of refinishing vehicles I will tell you the correct way to handle this prep is to completely remove all the old clear-coat as it is completely broke down ( lost its adhesive ability) and is useless as a foundation. It will eventually become a problem for the future refinish. But it just kills me he’s not even trying to spray this cheap paint job inside for the primer coat. The dirt must be unbelievable. Also something this small should always be shot from the outside of panel to the other side. It will help to avoid the dry line effect in the center of the panel which will be visible at the end result.
Looks nice! I'm hoping to do this to my k1500 Chevy's hood it has paint chips and two big dents on both sides where my ex bf drove off with the hood popped and it slammed open, denting the metal right above the hinges 😢 it will be a fun learning experience and this video will come in handy I'm sure lol
when checking for smoothness it works better to use a thin cloth between your fingers/palm and the sanded surface, the cloth will jag on any rough spots and amplify the sense to the skin. Plus keep skin-oils off the surface.
Rattle cans seem to work best used in a vertical direction, I'd be inclined to remove the hood (bonnet) and place it vertically under cover out of the wind and no masking required.
If you are getting streaky keep your eyes your spray not being e 90° to the panel. Distance is important to your overlaps. Pan out until they are feathering together and that's the distance you keep.
looks not bad at all from what it was. the only disappointment was not seeing you buff it up at the end to a glass finish.. that would’ve been satisfying. I like the Honda prelude in the background btw
Great job as always 💕👏 I'm sorry I forgot your name. Have you sold any of the old fleet of cars you collected from auction? I miss updates on them. PS- 50/50 water and rubbing alcohol works well for wax and grease remover if you run out or dont have any
Don’t use a gas leaf blower because if the gas oil mix. Some exhaust will come out the blower tube and get in the area to be painted. Probably won’t ,, but possible. Depends on the blower. Just a thought guys.
Thanks for the great content...the video was really good. One question though...just curious why you didn't remove the hood? I think removing four bolts would have been faster than masking it off...and you could have sanded the hood edges easier. And since this was a hood from a truck, it was higher so the simple fact that it would be easier to work on while sitting lower on sawhorses or something would have made it easier. You may have a good reason for not removing it but I was just curious what that might have been. Thanks!
Great job brother 👏... Great color and suits the truck... Who cares about negative comments 🙄 what do they know 🤔. Hey it reminds me of the last 30 years prime an top coating, did a guys street stock track car in left over enamel red, it was a jaw dropper for the customer when he picked it up, that night it went on the track and got smashed 😳👍 Iv airless sprayed demolition derby cars in left over house 🎨paint, customers lable it and gave it a number 👍 out on the track for a smash.

Please see CHOPS GARAGE ...TALKING RUBBISH BUT ACTUALLY WORKED......I found it in the bin
How long did you wait after base coating to wet sand 2000 grit?
2000 GRITS TO FINE YOUR PAINT WILL PEEL OFF OVER TIME ITS GOT NOTHING TO STICK TO.
@rodobrien3488 I think he said in between the base and the clear? Not between primer and base?
good for flat colours but metallic colours should be painted orientated to their position on the vehicle.
There's a lazier/easier way - get some laquer & varnish remover spray - they do it in aerosols.. spray it on the clearcoat, let it work, use a plastic scraper to scrape off the old clear.

It will eventually become a problem for the future refinish. But it just kills me he’s not even trying to spray this cheap paint job inside for the primer coat. The dirt must be unbelievable. Also something this small should always be shot from the outside of panel to the other side. It will help to avoid the dry line effect in the center of the panel which will be visible at the end result.
So happy I found you, I have an old Prius that needs the hood done ! Thinks I gona try it 😊
Looks nice! I'm hoping to do this to my k1500 Chevy's hood it has paint chips and two big dents on both sides where my ex bf drove off with the hood popped and it slammed open, denting the metal right above the hinges 😢 it will be a fun learning experience and this video will come in handy I'm sure lol
when checking for smoothness it works better to use a thin cloth between your fingers/palm and the sanded surface, the cloth will jag on any rough spots and amplify the sense to the skin. Plus keep skin-oils off the surface.
Always a good day when RandW posts! 👍🧂
Awesome vid wooo looks like a ton of work
It wasn't that bad, just a lot of waiting in between the work.
Keep up with the funny personality bro bro learning don’t have to be boring
Thank you so much for this DIY Video, wish me luck !!! We use this as my bible
Damn! So your more of a painter than a mechanic!
Looks good!
Rattle cans seem to work best used in a vertical direction, I'd be inclined to remove the hood (bonnet) and place it vertically under cover out of the wind and no masking required.
When checking the wet sanding for smoothness use your less dominate hand bc it's more sensitive than your dominant hand and you can feel the bumps.
This looks awesome, the wind was blowing outside it looks great for can spray
Very good. I like your videos. Great tips. I have been working with an orbiting polisher. Each time I seem to improve. Thanks.
If you are getting streaky keep your eyes your spray not being e 90° to the panel. Distance is important to your overlaps. Pan out until they are feathering together and that's the distance you keep.
looks not bad at all from what it was. the only disappointment was not seeing you buff it up at the end to a glass finish.. that would’ve been satisfying. I like the Honda prelude in the background btw
Great job as always 💕👏 I'm sorry I forgot your name. Have you sold any of the old fleet of cars you collected from auction? I miss updates on them.
PS- 50/50 water and rubbing alcohol works well for wax and grease remover if you run out or dont have any
this guy is amazing! reminds me of myself, professional but not perfect! glhf fam :D
Great job for spray cans. Please show us after you've done the final wet sanding and polish.... thanks.
Would this technique work with a plastic pannel such as a hood scoop or a rear spoiler?
Quitters are wise.
I enjoy your vids.
I remember when you did the F-150, I have some of the items that I need for my next car. The car I did, I sold that one 2 yrs ago.
Don’t use a gas leaf blower because if the gas oil mix. Some exhaust will come out the blower tube and get in the area to be painted. Probably won’t ,, but possible. Depends on the blower.
Just a thought guys.
Thanks for the great content...the video was really good. One question though...just curious why you didn't remove the hood? I think removing four bolts would have been faster than masking it off...and you could have sanded the hood edges easier. And since this was a hood from a truck, it was higher so the simple fact that it would be easier to work on while sitting lower on sawhorses or something would have made it easier. You may have a good reason for not removing it but I was just curious what that might have been. Thanks!
I’m gonna give it a go. I have the classic Chevy 1500 roof paint flaked all off.
Pretty good. BTW: A good multi steps polish could improve that a lot I think (included the orange peel)
Thanks for the lesson.
My project is a 2013 Dodge Avenger....
RED, yup, but it's a
RED metalic.
Hmm🤔?
Wish me good luck. ✌️😎👍
How did it come out? Tips
This video came in perfect timing! Thank you, looks great.
Great job brother 👏...
Great color and suits the truck...
Who cares about negative comments 🙄 what do they know 🤔.
Hey it reminds me of the last 30 years prime an top coating, did a guys street stock track car in left over enamel red, it was a jaw dropper for the customer when he picked it up, that night it went on the track and got smashed 😳👍
Iv airless sprayed demolition derby cars in left over house 🎨paint, customers lable it and gave it a number 👍 out on the track for a smash. I have had a fun job🎉🎉🎉
Keep it up brother love your app 👏❤from New Zealand supporters
Be clean. Great advice for life.
Lightly sand the headlights and spray them with the clear while you are spraying the truck.
He said I'm gonna let it sit in the sun for 24 hrs 😂😂 gwattaaafaa
Never stop making videos!
Dude I caught your comedy , Awsome , laughed so hard I had to rewind ! Thanks Bro !
Good job buddy, well done you😁👍
