Also did a acura tl and that was a pain in the ass to do a tri coat on! Good job!

Excellent workmanship

Good to see you back and with a good informative video as well. I am really eager to see what you think about the sata 5000's should be an interesting video....

Great video, have to do a bumper and this will help me bend it properly, thanks

Nice job. The Gm 800j has been a problem for quite a few shops out here. It will show up too white or too yellow. Just a headache! Thanks for the videos.

Very informative. Thanks for your videos! I'll be doing an all over white pearl job soon, and I've never done tri coat before. Doesn't seem too tough, just be a robot right? 😀👍

Hey jimmo glad to see your back, I'm still using the rm diamont an us erm the White sealer for most jobs so I understand where your coming from, keep up the great work 👍

Rikka Elliott #bebraveorgohome I miss diamont, what an awesome paint line that is.

Good job... Keep up the good work

Nice paint job

nice video.. good work man,

Really awesome vid thanks for the content

Is blending necessary? My Shop is installing new bumper, driver's side fender, possibly hood, and also the driver door is a little scratched (probably just clear coat damage) I'm just really skeptical of them sanding down my door or blending onto my factory paint... Any recommendations on what I should do? My car is 13' GTI paint code LB9A

Tri-layers are the most difficult to color match and blend. The drop coat is the make or break here but a good painter makes it look easy.

Thanks I love you work

How did you get a good match/blend from the bumper to the hood when you painted them at different times and locations? Is that just a skilled eye and memory?

nice work, iwata is my personal favorite guns also over other brands too!! I noticed you moved your gun pretty quick when spraying the base coats. is it just the way how ppl suppose to spray 90 line or just your way doing the job? ive never sprayed 90 line before. still on 55 line.

nice job man hey do you collapse the pps liner or no

I have been fighting shadows on PPG pearl white 839 spraying Acura NSX. Have you had any experience with this color? I also use a wet bed. It's not really noticeable until the cars are taken outdoors. Suggestions?

exellent job man

Nice job!

How long after new body paint is it safe to wash my car. It’s been 3 days and really dirty

nice vid jimmo...keep it up an ya might be able to make a living at it...

Does anyone know what color is the base coat before the 2 pearl coat? Is it a satin white or a pearl/beige white?

Go Justin! Great video!

The Gunman This was Glasurit 90 line, most colors are 2 1/2 coats over most undercoat values, but white over black would take quite a bit more. If this were RM Onyx production (solvent) it just might cover in 2 1/2-3 coats, solid colors cover really well in that line.

Thanks for the reply Jim, here in Australia we still mainly use Solvent and everyone tells me that waterbase covers in 1+1/2 coats so it sounded weird. I get full coverage in 3 from most solvent ranges 55 Glasurit, Standox Solvent, Dupont and Metalux. Great channel, keep up the good work.

The Gunman Axalta (dupont) waterborne has a 1 1/2 application for basecoat, as far as I am aware every other waterborne is at least 2 1/2 when applied over an appropriate shade of primer. Thanks, you too.

when painting metallic pearl white, what would be best primer to use? black or a really light gray?

@MK-rb5lp

6 жыл бұрын

Use a light gray or almost white. Will make your spraying easier and save on materials. Make sure to do a 50 percent overlap on each spray pattern and do 2 coats

I know this is an old video, but in alot of blend videos no one talks about the process of how they sanded the car in preparation of a blend, where to sand 800-1000 vs 400-600 in order for base coverage vs clear blend. What was your process here?

@Michigunner

If your not painting for coverage(repaired area) 800 everywhere else. 400/600 your primed areas for finish sanding

You would need to re-sand, apply color and clear.

no explanation on the steps needs more details on how to do the blend what you mix in, giving model numbers won't trigger any info, rather confuses. just my 2 cents, if this was for pros and not for new guys, then it would be awesome to mention that from the get-go. thx

What about adhesion promoter before the sealer was applied

Raw plastic requires it. Primed plastics can use it but not required. Also Glasurit 90 has sealers with built in adhesion promoter.

Whenever a part is painted separately without being able to use the exact batch of paint that the vehicle was painted with (even then it’s possible to look dofferent) all you can do is hope it’s not a readily noticeable difference. There’s too many variables that can make a color look different. Doing spray outs like demonstrated in this video and blending is how you get an exact panel to panel color match.

thats very common on metallic or pearlescent paints. it can all depend on how many coats of metallic/pearlescent they did or how thick they sprayed it on. it can change the color

What size tip are you using for the ws400? Also what psi do you spray at the wall Great Video!

@Refinishnetwork

Michael DeFrancesco The wall is usually between 50-80, the pressure drops depending on the length of the hose so I regulate it at the base of the gun around 27-28 psi.

29 psi at the inlet I am fairly certain is what my Sata rep recommended for that gun but I may be confusing it with the HVLP. I don't have much experience yet with that gun although I do have one with a 1.2. I'm sure a Sata painter will be along to tell us.

i was looking for paint for my bumper and it is a multi stage pearl, i understand base coat and clear but this calls for a mid coat , what is that?, this is for a 2013 Hyundai Genesis: Casablanca White Pearl YW6, will a quart cover the bumper

@nawlyns504

your mid coat is the coat that contains the pearl. So it's your base color (first coat) then your pearl (mid-coat) and then your clear (third coat). It's called a Tri-coat

MrMagee78 You have to solvent test it first, if they used a decent primer you can topcoat it directly but most of the time they don't.
