When I joined your VIP program, around 6-7 years ago now I think it’s been, I only knew a little bit about auto painting and body work and had no experience at all doing it. I signed up with you to learn a new hobby really, but I ended up really getting into it and got good pretty quick. Within the first 2 or 3 months after I joined I was doing small repairs and paint jobs for people on the side. Within 2 years I rented out a little shop, built a paint booth in it and started doing paint and body work full time for myself. Literally everything I know about painting and body work I learned from your website. Just wanted to say thanks man, keep up the awesome work.

I am so glad you shared your knowledge. I have a Dodge Challenger rear quarter I am going to paint. Smooth finish,It’s black and I have the sublime color factory paint. So I am going to wet sand the clear two coats base then clear. Saves time

Hey, Tony, You are a good teacher! Please let your audience know when painting to do all you cutting in first like wheel wells edge, front and rear edges or door jams, etc. any hard to get areas then spray the main panels. so you don't overspray the panel. Keep up the good videos

I like this vid. As a tech, I sometimes don't understand why people complicate paint repairs. This vid shows the simplicity. I like it. So many people I talk with don't seem to view clear coat as a paint, but clear coat is indeed a paint. So, roughen it up a little and paint right over it.

Good tip Tony. I recently painted a car for my first time using an air compressor and HVLP spray gun and tried painting with primer and without primer over the old colour of the car (scuffed and sanded) and also could not visually tell the difference! Saves time and money to skip the initial primer but just make sure it's prepped nicely and you're good to go.

I did not learn how to mix colour so I still use spray readymade and they are good, I love to learn to mix colour don't know how to start?

Thank you for the very informative video!! I just wished that I would've researched this prior and watched this first before jumping into sanding down my fender! I probably could have just hand sanded the pin striping off with the clear coat rather than flap discing it. Now I have way more prep work than I needed to do. But great video thanks!

Tony I think your spray bomb spitting and sputtering is from not shaking it up enough. think about how long they "sit" after being put in the can. Possibly days/weeks in the factory. On a truck for a day or 3-4-5. Then in a distrubition warehouse for f knows how long then on the self in the shop yu bought it from. Thats a long time for settling to happen. To help with knowing the gunk build up at the bottom has been suspended flick the bottom of the can with a small screwdriver. Little pocket one. Listen to the tone of the sound. Then do it again after you shake it. You will hear the difference. Then shake it for another 4-5 mins so it gets mixed into whats already suspended. When I know im going to use one I toss it in the shaker and set it for 15 mins. Spitting and sputtering is never an issue.

Very nice tutorial, enjoyed watching Tony

good spray technique, If a guy has good disciplined spray habits, generally hes got good advice, :)

OK thank you so much! I've been thinking to myself when watching people do touch up videos, that the paint is overlapping some onto the old paint and sticking, and then I saw someone else do a scuff up with 1500 grit paper to half a hood as a blend in from the other half that he primed, and I'm going, "ok that's sticking..." I want to freshen up the paint on my dodge ram '01 with the same paint, so I don't want to ruin the color I already have with gray primer. I was going to try doing a scuff up with 400 grit and giving it a go with the dupicolor color match paint in the can and now after watching this, I'm totally going to do it! (then add clear over that).

You can do this to the hole car and in dents just sand down to metal and put bondo? and sand then primer and sand and sealer after ?

Hi there, nicely done!! Why when I tried to do paint over clear coat wet sanded with 800 grit, the clear started to shrink and peeled off? :( Thank you

Things to consider before spraying over sanded clear without priming is how easy the color you're going to be spraying will cover. You wouldn't wanna spray a red fender with a white base coat obviously itll take more passes to hideout the color which will result in using more paint. Another thing to consider is the thickness of mils of paint on the surface if it has reached or borderlined the recommended mil thickness and you paint over it then the paint is subject to crack fade etc. and wont last very long

I know we all have our bad habits but one I refuse to pick up is sanding with my hand. Maybe If if i was just doing quick flip or collision type work I would in some circumstances.

Nice video. I had a question. At 12:20, you used a 2K primer on the fenders. Why use the primer after the basecoat?

Hi Tony it's comforting to Know that I'd get a good finish , but how about in terms of strength? Will it Hold ? Will the base hold on the clear to last ?

How about a all out color change inside and out, down to the bare metal taking out dents by hand with the absolute minimum of any bondo and wrap it all up with a true show shine finish? I'm doing a 100% frame off restoration on a crew cab dually so I definitely have my work cut out for me. I know very little about body work but I don't believe in bondo or fiber glass repairs.

What kind of primer do I need for using acrylic enamel single stage paint? And do I need to primer the whole car or just parts where I fixed dings etc? Car is gonna be a darker version grey of what it originally was

I used SprayMax Epoxy Primer. I noticed that once the can was half empty that it effect the performance of the can.

Quick question boss so I I’m done paint 🎨 got the clear coat on . Which grit can I use that will remove imperfections from the clear coat ?? 2000 3000 ? Again I don’t want it to remove the clear coat just want to remove some over spray thanks boss!!

Bro show me how to mix the primer correctly for spraying thanks bro

Tony - I read your book, incredible detailed information. And watched this video as well, my focused was the red side obviously. I have not ever worked on a car, but am inspired by you with the vast education you provide to all of us. I have a black car with relatively good condition except for some hail damaged on the hood and trunk as well. I decided to fixed the small dents with bon-do, prime it, etc. and paint the whole car over sanded clear. Since the car paint is still in good condition, how many coats of paint would you recommend? The clear is going to be 2-3 coats for sure. Thank you Tony!

Great video answered some questions I had. I’m in the process of re clearing a peeling vehicle I been wet sanding the old clear coat and feathering it down to the base coat with 600 grit and itlooks like I will need to hit it with a sandable primer to get a even surface correct? Do I only prime around the feathered sanded areas? And do what u did sand off the rest of the panels clear coat with 400 or 600 and start blasting it with the base coat. Or prime the whole panel ,sand flat then base coat it

Hey Man! Check out our website for more blogs on wet sanding www.learnautobodyandpaint.com/?s=wet+sanding

What about if you have deep scratched clear coat or if it was roughly sanded and you wanted to fix it and make it blend with the rest of the paint, would it be applicable to respray just clear? or would you have to repaint that area again

Question: Does the same apply for plaster (pyroxylin)? Can I apply to sanded clear coat without applying primer?

I really love your videos! From Philippines.

Should you use a sealer over the old paint under certain circumstances?

Great video been watching a lot of videos past couple weeks so glad I found this one. I have a question I can't seem to be able to find an answer to anywhere. I just painted the rear fender of my Harley-Davidson Fatboy using aerosol cans I ordered online with the OEM paint code. I did not get enough paint I thought two cans would be enough and for someone more experienced it probably would have been this is my first attempt at any kind of body work or paint. But my question is since I'm going to be waiting almost a week for my new paint to arrive can I just spray right over what I already put down or should I scuff it up first using 400 or 600 and if so should I do it wet or dry it may be important to know that my paint has metallic in it. It's Harley's Pacific Blue Pearl. Thanks!

So the trick is to lightly sand the previous clear coat to spray paint (primer, base and clear coat) over it? Can you blend a panel to repair a section of the panel without having to sand the previous clear coat? I see a lot of blending videos where the base coat is blended to surrounded areas of the panel without sanding the clear coat. Wouldn't the new clear coat seal the new base coat even if the previous clear coat wasn't sanded?

What's the purpose of even sanding at all? Can't you spray over without wet sanding? Thank you so much!

Is it possible to paint a car with a 33 gallon compressor?, i got 4 guns 1 -1.3 transtar lvlp 2- purple harbor freight 1.4 And 1 1.8 for primer Also whats the recomend pressure to paint with those guns thanks!

Quick tip for the sandpaper instead of folding it, just put duct tape on the back of it then you don’t have to fold it over and it’ll help even out where your fingers are when you’re standing. Also in my opinion I think the Eastwood 2K clear in a spray can is better than the spray max. Long story short I had issues with spray max but none with Eastwood. Just my opinion anyway thanks for the video.
