      Hey Brian..to avoid blistering when re applying a primer over meta break through..is etch the go to?

Thanks for your Chanel its the best and your a great teacher

      Go very very light. Water based primer is the best to use because it doesn’t have solvents in it that attack the surface.

    Hey FYI to anyone who is going to do this, warm up the spray cans in a bucket of hot water before spraying. It will improve atomization dramatically and leave a significantly smoother finish, even in a warm climate. I mainly recommend this with basecoat because warming up the clear will reduce your orange peel but increase chances of runs due to it being thinner.

    great video, I painted my car in my garage with spray cans. It came out great (total cost was about $400).. only did a panel at a time. The roof i can not do however I don't think the cans have enough pressure to carry the whole panel. I found heating the can up before spray increased the pressure and atomized the paint better. Obviously it has it's risks but considering the results... worth it. Thanks for the video.

    From start to finish, great video - what I exactly needed. I am about to start on the cab roof of my 2006 Ford E-350 Cutaway. A little surface rust, commercial Oxford White paint. Probably use a couple of rattle cans, or, at least a quart of base with my Harbor Freight gravity spray gun and rattle can of clear coat. Small project. Biggest hassle is sanding inside the reinforcement groves on the roof.

    In my shop we always use a "Can Gun" when spraying with rattle cans. You get a much more comfortable grip and your finger tip never hangs over in front of the nozzle, ruining the spray pattern. Using quality paint you can get some amazing results with a little patience and practice. Make the world prettier, paint something!

    This may be my favorite diy car painting video. I have touched up cars I've owned 20 years. But I followed your recommendations and yesterday completed my repair and it's the best I've ever done. Factory quality. That 2k clear is a game changer. You explain why you do and show when things don't go as planned. You make me want to paint cars. Thank you.

    When doing a rattle 2K clear touch up, I like to prep the headlights sanding with 2000 and buffing out. Then when clear coating the base, unmask the headlights and clear them as well. Did this on my sisters car and when she got home, she said, "I could actually see the road since you painted my fender.." LOL Next day she notated the super clear headlights.

    If you put the 2k clear in the freezer it will last for months after its activated. Just take it out a few hours before use. I have successfully used an activated 2k can of clear from the freezer about 4 months after it was activated.

    What's your thoughts on blending with this method? I read somewhere someone suggested using adhesion promoter as a substitute for spraying a blender down as a wet bed for the blend area for metallic paints. I'm curious if you've ever tried blending with the duplicolor paint then using the 2k clear over the whole panel, or if not if you could try it for a video!

      @@mamacito1795 you can definitely get a similar result with high solid clear, but it sprays differently. you'll be able to cut and buff easier than if you were to do the same amount of coats than a thinner clear coat. also, with high solids you'll tend to get orange peel easily. hope that helped!

    Great videos Brian, and your delivery is impeccable. I also love your “matter of fact” axioms sprinkled throughout. “If you get scared of the spray, the car has already won.” Maybe I paraphrased, but awesome. So repainting the hood of my 2006 Dodge Magnum, Brilliant Black Pearl. Quick history: I bought it new, I’ve only hand washed it maybe ten times, all other times through the “touch free” washes, so there are not a lot of swirl marks happening. Also never given it a full tilt wax, compound. I’ve done some panels, the hood maybe once, but not too involved, never the roof, never the tailgate, and only sporadically on the sides/doors, generally when trying to buff out scratches. The point is that the clear coat is(was) still mostly intact, no peeling, no fading, paint in great shape for a paint correction I guess is what you call it. Most of the time I’ve gotten through alright with the touch up pen, then blend/sand it in to disappear. Eh, Looks like shit. There are multiple reasons I’ve decided to do cosmetic work on my wagon, but another time. Beating Chrysler with my Lifetime Bumper to Bumper Warranty is the main reason. Gotta keep it worth as much as possible. Plus I love it very much and while I do baby the cars paint and upholstery, it is also a work wagon/production vehicle, yet amazingly in great shape. So the hood had no dents, one deep chip I guess you’d call a ding, dead center to the primer, and various pebble chips from, ummmmm, high speed impacts with very small things. Well I’ve all but ruined the hood. Couldn’t get the tape lines to disappear, way too thick with both paint and clear coat, so had to sand all of that back down, low on budget about now, ran out of sandpaper, was cleaning it and reusing it, scuff pads, you name it, and the old paint was coming off like dried hard gum, packing every sheet or device within moments. I got impatient and used my rasp plane to get a lot of the old paint off, and with it went a lot of the factory paint, and a few gouges happened too. Needless to say, I sanded the hell out of that metal to get it smooth again, but the 80 grit I had laying around dug in pretty badly, and they are persistent bastards, dozens of little crescent moon scratches into the metal, which by the way is incredibly light, my whole hood might weigh five pounds. Well now it’s lighter because I sanded so damn much. Anyway, got happy with it, used the Duplicolor Grey high build primer, over and over, with nice long hour plus dry times, maybe 55% humidity, and about 70 degrees in the garage here up the road in Charleston, SC. With a heater of course, and it helps dry the air too. This time I got five cans of brilliant black Pearl on, and it looked pretty good, but there were the tiger stripes I’ve heard so much about. So I put one last hurrah coat of color on and it all filled in pretty well, but still a bit splotchy. Figured clear coat would fix it. Which it kinda did, on top of helping a couple of splatters that were very, very fine drops. I put one and a half heavy coats on before deciding to stop and sand it back a bit to hopefully get rid of the blemishes and either clear coat over my 1500-2000 wet sanding scuff, or add another can of color and really try to get great coverage since there’s plenty of foundation of color. Problem is that acrylic lacquer has to be applied close enough to hit wet, so getting back enough to prevent stripes allows the droplets to start drying before hitting the surface and results in the well known roughness of dry paint application. Here are the two questions. Should I just wet sand the color coat/clear coat till I’ve eliminated all of the imperfections, which is already 85% there, then go straight to clear coat and let that “even it up”, as the 1500-2000 grit color coat will be uniform, but not shiny wet paint looking. Does that matter? Or should I risk applying another can of color and just stay close but keep moving in short strokes? If I paint it and there are just more stripes and splatters, I’ll have to wet sand again, which is acceptable, but is the new fresh wet shiny paint even necessary? I understand clear coat, especially acrylic lacquer, doesn’t need much of a scuff if any. Also, wouldn’t reducing the temp a bit effectively help to slow the dry time of the lacquer, and maybe help the paint hit the surface wet from a slightly farther distance from the panel. Maybe let it get down to 60 degrees? I’ve bought so many cans of this stuff, it’s unreal. In total for just the hood at least 15 cans. I’ll keep pushing on but I’m ready to lay about a trillion coats of clear in it, with lots of time and/or wet sand/scuff between some coats, which also helps to allow the lower layers to dry(let the solvents evaporate?)better too, right, and then when it’s about 3/4” thick, I’ll stick a fork in it, let it dry for several days before I wet sand and buff it out to a shine, then wait, what maybe two weeks before I wax it? I guess the clear coat dulls over time. Last night the clear coat had been drying for about 36 hours, and it still looked glossy wet and deep. Then I had to sand it back some. That hurt. I’m fine with imperfections, but tiger stripes will drive me bonkers. As if I’m not already. So, will lower ambient temperature help the acrylic lacquer. spray wet and flow out better? And do I need a shiny wet(looking) color coat before I clear it? Holler.
