Hack job is a hack job. And it’s sad that people actually thick this is a good paint job. I bet it looks like crap in 6 months. If it’s worth doing it’s worth doing right. I charge a minimum of 10k for a complete and I turn down more than I accept. Sad how many hacks are in this industry.
The trick where you mist the troubled area saved me twice when I did my del sol(one of your previous videos covered it as well) just wanted to say thank you and keep it up!
Looks good bud!! Shot a lot of single stage on used cars as well as restored stuff with no issues.If you let it sit long enough you can wet sand and buff to a beautiful finish.
That misting technique is the same repair I was taught years ago by a real old school painter, we're talking from back in the old (no hardener) enamel paint job days. Thanks for the video. Metallics can be trickier, but doable.
Single stage is a great option on not-so-great cars. To drive or to flip. I like the fact that 400 grit is fine for prep. Instead of 3 coats of base and 2 or 3 coats of clear I normally do, maybe 2 1/2 coats if you do a tack coat to introduce the paint to the surface like the old timers did. The old work truck looks good, just as good as it needs to and prolly better than it has in a lotta years
Love single stage, easy to repair, easy to spray less labor, sometimes it even shines better IMO. With base coat clear coat the gloss can die back into the base leaving you with a less glossy finish. Not single stage. Color and gloss is in the same coat so no risk of die back most cases
Yes you are 100% correct, my Dad was an old-school body man and he paints just like you do, you are an awesome body man/painter and it looks great buddy, nice paint job man...!, this truck looks brand new now, don't see the flaws in the paint that you said it has, to me it looks great like new, also if ya look at some of the brand new cars and trucks built today most if not all have either fish eyes or orange peel or both in the paint jobs anyway. thanks for sharing From a new friend & Subscriber here in Lima Peru George
Yea I do like base clear for certain applications. But older cars or ones that I sand heavy On, I typically like single stage. Even the pros at the shop will miss a 180 grit scratch here and there and that's no issue with single stage, fills right in. Base clear ? Not so much unless using a 45% solids clear. We sell smr42 which does fill good and level great but still...
Don't even get me started on the water born guys 🙃🙃🙃🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴 "BETTER COVERAGE BRO".... yea that's because you don't know how to mix solovent 😂 paint store says mix 1:1 I'll mix it 1: 1/2 and get 90% hide first coat.
I really want to paint my 1996 Buick Roadmaster sedan single stage white. I just haven't been able to save up enough for a few gallon kits to cover everything and have some leftover for changes later on
Shoot. I call people like him tiny. I'm 6'7", 320 lbs of solid muscle. I wear 3XL and have to cut the booties off. I still end up tearing them all up because the torso isn't long enough and there's a tug-o-war between my shoulders and my crotch.
I had an '82 foxbody in high school. My uncle painted it for graduation in '90. Centari pitch black single stage, 4 coats. People asked to buy that car from me everywhere I drove it, comments always on the paint job.
So I have to get over my...it's a Dodge truck, but seriously turned out amazing! The single stage that you sprayed on the wheels and bumper on my food truck still look fantastic. No chips and still the same level of gloss. Truck really does look great!
Think you could do a video of doing sanding and prep work, where you got your sander and interface pad for the sander and such? Maybe some more body work info? Maybe one of doing prep work with just stuff from harbor freight 😅
Question in Texas right now we have 40 degree morning 1st year solo during "winter" what do u recommend I know 49 might not b much but here 110 degree all day no problem
Never gets old watching these videos. I should be ordering some single stage paint kit for my son's car soon. ( I don't have any where to paint would I be able to paint outside under a tent ? ) The ratios is the other thing I'm a bit scared of messing up on.
How close of a match is this to the factory chrysler PW7 Bright white would you think? I have a ram 2500 that i thing about painting bumpers on to match, and was wondering if this would be a match. Thanks for the videos. i also have an 8th gen civic that i’m greeting ready to paint and i’ve been watching your stuff to get an idea before i tackle it myself.
One more question I see the high gloss bright white speed select that’s all I need ??? What’s the smaller can for the premium low activator fast. I really like to know what it does and if it’s important ?? Thanks a lot for showing your work a lot of older heads will not show me the ways…
Truck looks great. What would you suggest for me to start budget painting cars? TH-cam, autobody class, just start painting on junkyard stuff. I flip cars here and there but a cheap paint job would help profits.
We always see budget jobs but what is the difference in budget clear coat over show car finish quality clear? Is a higher price clear that much different from a budget clear?
Looking good! I have an 03 white Tahoe that I want to paint. I don’t know if I’m supposed to sand it down to Bare metal due to bad primer. Do you think I could get away with sanding to the primer and just painting it or should I strip the whole thing?
I bout a gallon of this and it was really thin, it was kind of like water. I ordered it on Amazon. I was expecting it to be thicker cause I seen it on your videos
Hey buddy this product is thinned and ready to spray to take the hassle out of it for DIY people. This stuff doesn't matter how you spray it is manufactured to lay FLAT. I've even does really light dust coats with this stuff before and it still layed very flat. It's amazing paint
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 oh ok, I was just wondering cause you mentioned it covering 180 grit and I thought maybe .mine was a bit too thin but I still did like the paint. I gave it a 5 star
Paint jobs on the east coast right now are running between 1200-2000$ for a super cheap paint job. 2000-3500 for a mid grade job. My prices are based off what the market currently is.
Sealer spray time (labor) + cost of sealer + time to let it flash (loss of labor productivity) + overall dry time = $$. So eliminating that for a production painter can get another car in the booth possibly. Marco admits to cutting corners here to save money with acceptable results on an easy solid color paint job. Heck it probably won't get washed once a month if it is a work truck and then that would be if he is lucky so they won't notice the difference.
Pretty much explained it right there 😂 even 1k sealers now running 100 a gallon you will see a lot of guys skipping this step for super single stage jobs
So, you're saying you don't need "Flex-Additive," for the plastic {Front} bumper? That would be news to me, 25 yr's auto collision (combo-man and) heavy frame repairs.

Just get some practice panels and practice
Pretty impressive for a $180 paint job.
When I started as a prepper in a body shop in 1997 we shot all solid colors in single stage then by 2000 we pretty much phased that out
Yup the good old days 😂
We always see budget jobs but what is the difference in budget clear coat over show car finish quality clear? Is a higher price clear that much different from a budget clear?
Show clear over a white base might give a little more shine for sure, but at 2-4x the cost most people opt for the single stage white
Would I be able to use single stage on a truck and put clear coat on top of that to add perals to it
Not recommended
Will a dingle stage be good to do before a car wrap?
Yea not a bad idea
What a sales guy.
Thanks
This shit is pre mixed right. Exactly what I need
Yes pre mixed just select correct speed activator and your good to go
Just painted my truck with this product and had a couple small runs and orange peel. Can you wet sand and buff this product to fix these issues?

Paint right over it
Quick question Marco. Can I use DTM primer/sealer INSTEAD OF self etching primer? Are there EXCEPTIONS? Plmk, tyvm 👍👍
Etching primer is much thinner and better for pre paint applications. Requires 0 sanding before paint lays 100% flat
