early on you mentioned " if you were going for that perfect flat surface for show yet this isnt the video for that " My god how much better does it get than what you just did??? crazy awesome! and great info!
The beginning part of your video where you are describing the problems we have from painting in our garage was spot on... I'm a little better than some I guess as I have ZERO orange peel, and NO runs, drips, or sags... however.. it looks like I threw a handful of beach sand into the clear coat while it was still wet... It's now a NON-SLIP surface because of all the nibs. That would be the best way to describe it. If I try and remove every nib in my paint-I will be sanding the ENTIRE panel.. so.. that's my plan. Just wet sand with 1500, then 2000, then 3000, then cut/buff/polish. Sucks because it is a beautiful finish.. just TONS of nibs.
Dude! I watched this the first time, and then I couldn't remember the name and couldn't find you, but I think you are really the man to listen to. I'm subscribing.
You nailed it in your introduction, I had just sprayed my Z28 in my garage, and I had the problems you were about to help me correct 😢, but then you start bringing introducing all kinds of high tech chemicals and power tools, DUDE !! I’m in my garage not able to afford all that I’m going to have to purchase to get the results u got, that’s why I painted the car myself to save SOME MONEY!!!!
you can get an electric DA for like 30 bucks at walmart the sandpaper is a little tricky at that grit and disc size. The rest was just detail cremes and a buffer. You can buy handheld electric buffers but itll take forever and possibly burn through clear just as easy. The handheld minibuffers and pads probably cost ya 70 if going cheap and compounds vary. Think all thats bad try and buy just one gallon of primer from sherwin williams😂. Paint process is expensive and minor errors mean repainting the whole panel and possibly nearby panels for color match at that point. You can just use a tennis ball and some cheap buff compound and elbow grease for minor crappy repairs though. Definitely gonna see swirls though and minor scratches especially black cars.
A decent nib/scratch and polish repair will probably cost ya between 150-200 if you get lucky with cheap materials and nothing to start. Good luck not burning the clear itll definitely cost alot more at that point to getting resprayed.
One of my good buddies is amazing when it comes to painting. To give yourself a fighting chance doing it at home is make sure your gun and psi is set right. Use the right tip for what you're spraying. Wheather it be primer-sealers, color, or clear. Having 20 different paint guns for different things helps lol. Setting your gun and psi correctly are the most important things from what I'm told.
You the best teacher thank you for teaching all the novice amateur out there. Keep doing what you do best keep uploading them new videos. Thanks infinity.
i would call myself a hobbyist detailer. just picked up an 04 mustang GT vert so decided to paint the hood scoop and trying to fix the clearcoat spots lifting. Well, hood scoop has a shit ton of orange peel and color looks great (wish it matched up with the color of the car , but what can you expect from a 20 year old OEM paint. I have watch a ton of vids on removing spots and OP and by far this video is the best I have come across. Great job! Sub'd as well and I tend not to do that unless the content and the delivery is top notch.
Also smart on knowing that you use wool pads like that with a rotary. Many make a mistake of using them with a DA long throw polisher not realizing they just arent designed to be effective with DA polishers. Nice to see another professional who put the time in learning and remembering it. I use a lot of 3D One with buff n shine urofiber 50/50 pads on my own vehicles that i have done a 2 step correction on in the past. Lately i have been using for my last step a polish by Carpro called Reflect, i swear its the best final polish/enhancement
You almost got it right in the intro. My buddy painted for me and I have already taken the orange peel out. Really struggling with swirls now. But you were close enough for me to agree with the other comment, “I’ve never felt so attacked by a TH-cam intro!” lol😂
* * Does this work the same if I have 2K clear coat on the paint? It did not come shiny, just a little. I have 3 coats of clear coat, but I did not wet sand it, as I a afraid! * *
Spot on with the tip on brands of sand paper and thats weather you are buying sheets or disc, or coarse grits for body work, or fine grits for polishing. I learned a long time ago about cheap sand paper now i stick with Mirka, 3M, and Norton. For polishing clear I like using Mirka Galaxy 1000, then 2000grit, 5" disc, then use 3M trizact 3000 followed by 5000grit. I also polish with 3D brand compound and polish
Fantastic Job! I have been doing exactly what you have been doing and I have 1st hand knowledge that these steps work. Although the nib tool scares me that if the nib is deep it may be pulled out like an ingrown hair then i am stuck with paint cup, air brush, and blending clear in hand...Ouch! But you do extremely professional videos and work! I am a union cameraman and video engineer in Chicago, it's nice to have a pro bodyman go the extra mile and have a good microphone. clean audio, and solid in focus HD video!!! Well Done, I have subscribed!!! Lou
@lad63bird - shooter/editor here. Happy that you like the content and production quality. I started in broadcast production in 1981 and recently retired. U-Wrench is my sons business so to give myself something to do I started their channel. It’s a totally different beast compared to the productions. I’ve been used to for the last 40 years. I try my best with the limited equipment that I have but I’m hoping in the future that I can invest a little bit more as the channel grows. The most difficult thing if you watch any of the other videos on our channel is the lighting. The fluorescents in the shop are 3800 Kelvin and then I’ve got daylight through the open doors around 5600 so at times that really wreaks havoc with the white balance. I’m hoping that we can get the fluorescents changed to a daylight temperature soon. Anyway thanks for the comment and I hope that you like the other content on our channel as well.
@@UWrenchTV WELL...Don't sell yourself short, way better than most...Now I have to throw more Kudos your way! I went through 3m products that sucked, they did not cut well, were dangerous to breath, and cost was prohibited at best, tried the Meguiars line of product, 105 was ok, went to 100, a little better, but still wore out my wrists with prolonged excessive buffing trying to get a shine...I bought a 8 ounce bottle of 3D 510 just to check it out...HOLY CRAP! 2000 SCRATCHES TWO PASSES, 3000 SCRATCHES, ONE QUICK SLOW PASS...GONE! I AM BUYING GALLONS OF THE WHOLE LINE WHEN I GET THE SPARE CHANGE!!! Best product l have ever used, "Hands Down"!. Note to all car refinishers/do it yourself-ers or Pros! 3D is the only product line that truly makes you smile, SAVES TIME, REALLY SHINES, low price by comparison! Well Done U-wrench!!! Everybody listen to this man! I say, 3D should give you cases of this stuff for helping sell it..... PS: I actually had some minor orange peel near an edge and carefully took it out with this stuff, "Never have done this before", I don't recommend you do either...LOL, but I JUST had to know!
Great video, as an enthusiast I don’t think I’ll ever be confident enough in my skills to sand a panel with DA. Having never had a custom paint enjoyed the finish as “in between” - not as junky as what’s in my garage but not show quality 😂
I love the introduction that's almost exactly what happened I spray painting my car and I did it a little at a time I picked up the new product by Rust-Oleum it's a 5 in 1 spray can with five different spray nozzles. I'm extremely impressed with this can of paint I painted my car a little at a time on my lunch break at work probably all in total 10 different lunch breaks I do have a lot of orange peel and paint runs
That's such a cool black. With that purple undertone colour. Something very unusual. I must do my bakkie like that. It will turn heads. Great video and clear explanation of what to do and how to do it. Good stuff man!!
I just painted my gas tank on my motorcycle and used the can of 2k high gloss clear and it turned out good but I had alot of trash doing it in my garage. But I used 1500 grit wet sand and it's all gone. Now I'm going to go with 2500 and 3000 get then biff but I never buffed anything so I bought 3D cut and polish off amazon I'm hoping it's not complicated since there is so many weird edges on a tank unlike a flat door.
Bro this video inspired me to DIY my ford laser car paint detailing To the original glossy finish 👌 superb stuff very informative thanks for sharing the step by step from sanding to polishing rare random video made my day Another subscription from srilanka❤
Cool video. I assume that noobs were lost at 1st but if they'd dipped into paint a bit, got a ton out of this. I liked it. When feeling paint: A guy, years ago asked me to feel the paint he was working on. It felt like satin.. He then took the plastic wrapper off his cigarette box and asked me to use it as a glove to "feel" the paint. I felt everything. Things I didn't before and couldn't see. If you haven't tried this, blow your own mind and try it. Cheers! Lee
The intro 😭😂 I only had a run I sanded succesfuly, but in some area I have HUGE orange peel, more like snake peel lol And wow! Your video is incredible ! I watched it after I used a copound polish saying 1200+, and it was uneffective after I sanded at 1200/2000. I was trying to figure out why. The part you were explaning how those polish are not really working on 1200 grit ! Your video is perfection !
Haha wow that intro... thats exactly what happened! Painted my first vehicle yesterday! Honestly it came out better than i thought it would. Little but of orange peel to sand out but only one run!
Great video but my question is what ambient temp is too high to compound and polish. The temp here in SW Florida is in the mid 90's and the metal of my truck is around 99 to 108 deg. F.
Excellent presentation, I have always wanted to do my own paint job which I have done in my garage. The base and clear coat tuned out better than expected , your video made the job look like a pro job . Thank you!
Fred That was the best tutorial on paint correction I, ve seen as a Newby to DA polishing (my mx5) I feel a little more confident with this video. PS did Sarah make a cameo appearance in your shop?
Thank you my dear brother for an informative video. I dont know what's Wrong removed a lot of paint not just the clear coat but the super coat also known as the second base coat, the first base coat and the primer exposing the metal.I felt I was using the wrong sander can you please tell me and others who are new to such work which sander to use for color sanding and how to properly use it
Sorry for the late reply. Thanks supporting our channel. It is greatly appreciated. What part of Australia do you live? I've visited Cairns and the great barrier rift a long time ago.👍
Awesome tutorial and a wealth of info!! Thank you. Where do you buy your micro-fiber towels. The ones I get at the auto parts stores in 12 packs, leave little scratches after I polish and remove the haze. Should I dampen the towel a bit? or buy something else? Cheers from Motown!
Could you have used the 505 instead of 3-D one step For both steps, curious if there’s a big difference between the two I know there is between the 510
Personally, I've never used any kind of glaze on fresh paint in fear that it would mess the panel up with curing. Glaze is okay as long as it's not wax based?
Maybe I missed it in the video but how long after applying the clear coat do you wait to wet sand and polish? Also, I see all kinds of polishers with different speeds, what speed should be used?
You mentioned not to use wax on fresh paint? How long do you need to wait before waxing? How long before I can use a ceramic or graphene coating? Personally I think it was perfect where you left it at the end without waxing to apply a graphene coating
Question. Have many dinks from stone hitting my doors and along the whole side. Was somewhat semi sucessful in painting the doors and front fender to the rear wing up to the windows. Three things messed up something which does look like a decent paint job, black metallic, one was wind, my masking was ripping to pieces landing in to wet paint. Next thing which really messed up the clear coat was pollen, and the fact that I went out of 2k clear coat. Aka, not enough to cover. Third thing which messed this up was the stone chipping was just a hair to deep to be covered with filler primer, so the small areas is shining out like white circles. How can I fix this? Sand paper, k400 and go back to bare metal in the affected areas, redo the bondo and wet sand with k1200, over the whole area, blend in pain in the spots and clean it well, before I take another attempt with enough clear coat and then polish it up? Or is this beyond every hope of salvation?
Great video and detailed instructions. How much air pressure do you use? I know it's been a while you made this video, but. Do you remember what color, or better yet, the code on the tailgate?
I’ve never felt so attacked from a youtube intro.
My thoughts exactly but I watched this to the end! 😂 Great video!
On god 😂
Sweet looking lightening ,after effects of the hard work put in .. AWESOME … 👍🏻☘️
Facts😅
I'm sitting here like: how did he know I just did some paint work in my garage 😅😅
I bet, you feel attacked all the time. Try looking for the good in people or things, instead of the concentrating on what your ego is telling you.
You've watched a ton of vids and not you have mistakes that you need to fix,,,Nailed me in the first 10 seconds!
Always nice to see someone still using rotary nowadays
early on you mentioned " if you were going for that perfect flat surface for show yet this isnt the video for that " My god how much better does it get than what you just did??? crazy awesome! and great info!
I felt like i was buffing... this was perfectly explained . Perfect intro! Hit my situation right on! Really helped. Thanks..
NICE Work! Love the Color too... Looks like a Midnight Purple
Love when people are masters of their craft and passionate about it. Great job man
Having never owned anything worth detailing I'm surprised to learn how intense a process it takes to achieve the finish you got. Wow !!!! 👍💯
Bro really called me out in that intro 😅😂
The opening ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Best Intro to a car paint video ever. . You got me bang to rights. Love it. Thank You
You nailed it. Not a wasted second of unecessary information. This should be the prototype of all TH-cam videos on DIY
Man, this is one of the best body work channels yet...Your presentation is clear and simple to understand 👊
Much appreciative. We try our best! More paint videos to come!
OMG, I can't dislike the video. My life will never be complete. Psyche, I never dislike a video.
Fred you are very good at your craft , I really learned something today Thank You
Many thanks!
That tailgate is like a mirror! The whole truck is SWEET! I'm currently working on my Cobra and it is purple but not that deep.
Admire your attention to detail. Step by step is so important to achieve an excellent finished product.
Wow, a truely skilled practitioner- I watched this to get some ideas for my bicycle clear coat - though i won’t be using a machine. Really useful.
Thank you

Yep, setting your gun has many aspects to it. Flow, Fan, PSI, and also adjusting the fan correctly to spray out right. All details are important.
Great video. Where are you guy's located?
Tucson, AZ USA

Wow looks like a nice glass finish 😊 wish my Jag looked that good

I just painted my sportster that exact color I’m looking forward to getting it to your level of glass finish

Beautiful job and very helpful advice, thank you!
Good video!!! Good job slowly explaining in detail the process of removing imprefections!! Thanks..
Glad it was helpful!
Great job. I am impressed.
When you make it look that EZ, you are a master.
That intro was perfect!
All of us were nodding after the first 10 seconds.

Thank you much sir!!! Always sketchy sanding shiny paint. Nice watching that you can get that shine back after sanding it dull.
That's such a cool black. With that purple undertone colour. Something very unusual. I must do my bakkie like that. It will turn heads. Great video and clear explanation of what to do and how to do it. Good stuff man!!

Excellent, looks fantastic, I'm glad I ran into your page. I'll be painting my 68 Impala soon so I'm going to have to look at more of your videos.
Bro this video inspired me to DIY my ford laser car paint detailing To the original glossy finish 👌 superb stuff very informative thanks for sharing the step by step from sanding to polishing
rare random video made my day
Another subscription from srilanka❤
Great video detail .. Thank you for showing me the correct way .
Cool video. I assume that noobs were lost at 1st but if they'd dipped into paint a bit, got a ton out of this. I liked it.
When feeling paint: A guy, years ago asked me to feel the paint he was working on. It felt like satin.. He then took the plastic wrapper off his cigarette box and asked me to use it as a glove to "feel" the paint.
I felt everything. Things I didn't before and couldn't see.
If you haven't tried this, blow your own mind and try it.

Haha!! It’s like you were watching me with that intro! Great video my man
Excellent vid. Very informative and honest. Thank you for sharing your "know-how".
Thanks for watching!
The intro 😭😂 I only had a run I sanded succesfuly, but in some area I have HUGE orange peel, more like snake peel lol
And wow! Your video is incredible ! I watched it after I used a copound polish saying 1200+, and it was uneffective after I sanded at 1200/2000. I was trying to figure out why.
The part you were explaning how those polish are not really working on 1200 grit !
Your video is perfection !
Haha wow that intro... thats exactly what happened! Painted my first vehicle yesterday! Honestly it came out better than i thought it would. Little but of orange peel to sand out but only one run!
Great video, The question I have is it possible to spray clearcoat without having to later sand it down and polish it to get that mirror like finish?
Where do you go and buy the products at yes I'm a newbie give me that thing sounds so nice you can see the outlines of the clouds
Great video but my question is what ambient temp is too high to compound and polish. The temp here in SW Florida is in the mid 90's and the metal of my truck is around 99 to 108 deg. F.
I can tell you know what you're doing here.... appreciate the tutorial. Pretty color BTW !
Laughed out loud at the opening - you were talking DIRECTLY TO ME!!! Guilty as charged on all of it!
Loved this. Subbed. Thanks for such an honest video. I'm into detailing and polishing over painting. But I will be watching more.
Excellent presentation, I have always wanted to do my own paint job which I have done in my garage. The base and clear coat tuned out better than expected , your video made the job look like a pro job . Thank you!
This just made my day. Way to go man
Came out great. 1 bit of info.. the 505 does have Montan wax in it.
Very professional! I have every intention of getting mine done right
Sweet job man...looked fantastic!
Fred That was the best tutorial on paint correction I, ve seen as a Newby to DA polishing (my mx5) I feel a little more confident with this video. PS did Sarah make a cameo appearance in your shop?
excellent, very informative, well played sir!
Thank you my dear brother for an informative video. I dont know what's Wrong removed a lot of paint not just the clear coat but the super coat also known as the second base coat, the first base coat and the primer exposing the metal.I felt I was using the wrong sander can you please tell me and others who are new to such work which sander to use for color sanding and how to properly use it
Excellent tutorial! How many RPM's on sander?
It's cool to know I actually could do some of this stuff in the garage, just need to know what to watch for. Thanks!
You got me mate ! Straight from the get go.. I like YOU! 😂 & thx for sharing 👍 Dano from Down Under
Sorry for the late reply. Thanks supporting our channel. It is greatly appreciated. What part of Australia do you live? I've visited Cairns and the great barrier rift a long time ago.👍
Awesome tutorial and a wealth of info!! Thank you. Where do you buy your micro-fiber towels. The ones I get at the auto parts stores in 12 packs, leave little scratches after I polish and remove the haze. Should I dampen the towel a bit? or buy something else? Cheers from Motown!
Costco is normally where we get ours.
I’ve had the same problem seems like some packs do good some dont
Great video. I guess I'll go for it hate the nibs and orange peel
Nah, I knew my $100 dollar paint sprayed from a $30 gun in my garage will need work.
Could you have used the 505 instead of 3-D one step For both steps, curious if there’s a big difference between the two I know there is between the 510
Going to be painting my very first vehicle. How long do you recommend the base in clear set before I start wet sanding.
Personally, I've never used any kind of glaze on fresh paint in fear that it would mess the panel up with curing. Glaze is okay as long as it's not wax based?
what PSI do you use to slow down the DA? Love your videos. I learn a lot! Thank You
Thank you for fine advice, It has helped me a lot.
Maybe I missed it in the video but how long after applying the clear coat do you wait to wet sand and polish? Also, I see all kinds of polishers with different speeds, what speed should be used?
I felt like i was buffing... this was perfectly explained 💯💪🏾
ALMOST FORGOT! THE DUST NIBBLERS WORK WELL TOO! Bought two next day after bought 3D 510 AND 400!
Looks perfect- ready for the road and the road damage from rocks and sand
Perfect intro! Hit my situation right on! Really helped. Thanks.
😂
Fantastic job
The finish on that panel is as nice as most show cars way nicer then factory finishes, you do three coats of clear on your work ?
Most of the time, 3 coats
what colour is that? its beautiful
It’s called Black Magic Woman
Custom colour mixed by Fred
You mentioned not to use wax on fresh paint? How long do you need to wait before waxing? How long before I can use a ceramic or graphene coating? Personally I think it was perfect where you left it at the end without waxing to apply a graphene coating
What color code is that is so freaking beautiful ❤
Question.
Have many dinks from stone hitting my doors and along the whole side.
Was somewhat semi sucessful in painting the doors and front fender to the rear wing up to the windows.
Three things messed up something which does look like a decent paint job, black metallic, one was wind, my masking was ripping to pieces landing in to wet paint.
Next thing which really messed up the clear coat was pollen, and the fact that I went out of 2k clear coat. Aka, not enough to cover.
Third thing which messed this up was the stone chipping was just a hair to deep to be covered with filler primer, so the small areas is shining out like white circles.
How can I fix this?
Sand paper, k400 and go back to bare metal in the affected areas, redo the bondo and wet sand with k1200, over the whole area, blend in pain in the spots and clean it well, before I take another attempt with enough clear coat and then polish it up?
Or is this beyond every hope of salvation?

Great video and detailed instructions. How much air pressure do you use?
I know it's been a while you made this video, but.
