Great to hear!

When I burn the clear, I put reducer in the clear. So the clear on the edges melts in and I like to sand it with 1500 grit sand paper. Buff the panel, for a better result. I mask the bumper does not matter how small the spot job is.

Hey I used that UPOL blend #9 on the sail panel of my 1970 Charger RT as I did some body repair and then blend job on the upper sail panel of the car. I used some of this video as inspiration and partial guide when completing my repair. I had never done a blend job before but It worked out really nice! Thanks!

Great video Chris!. Thanks. Question regarding the settings. What is general rule of adjusting these small touchup guns? What pressure should we keep for base and clear ? 20-30 or 10-15 ? How much fluid ? 1-2 turns out ? What typical distance -? Thanks 😊

How much time do you wait to spray on the blende and also time for polishing ? Steve

Do I need to use the blend if I’m polishing ?

I’ve used the Spray Max Glamour 2K clear in a pinch a few times. You can swipe nozzles off of lots of other spray cans and see what works for a different spray pattern. I’ve found some narrow “bird shot”, and I’ve found the wide “shotgun spray” and that is key. But that Spray Max has serious longevity. I did my drivers side quarter panel, and it has withstood the gas spill test, sunshine test, the lot. Passes with flying colors. And it is hard. Not an easy scratch. The only problem is that while it last out glossy as can be and you can watch it melt into the previous stoke or coat, when it dries it’s gonna have some orange peel. Just spray several coats. I keep one of those infrared heaters about two feet away from the panel just as it’s finishing flashing off. Also a key factor. It also helps reduce orange peel. But it cuts out fine. For what it is, it’s incredible. You just can’t really prevent the orange peel.

What you gonna do if the edges wrinkle up on ya 🤔 nice Chris👍

What makes Finish 1 710 and 720. 710 being spot panel and 720 overall different? Can you use them interchangeably?

@GarageNoise

From my experience the overall is a bit slower drying which makes sense since it's for an overall paint job. I wouldn't use them together unless you speak with a SW paint rep they my have more detailed information.

So basically to make it look proper, full coat of clear ? Where does blend spray really come to proper uses ?

@GarageNoise

9 ай бұрын

Short answer is never, it's not really the proper way to do it. The only time I might do it is down low on a rocker panel.

Are you trying to limit the new clear to just the area that you hit with 2000 grit? I assume you don’t want to hit any area you did not sand right?

Good video Chris. I might be answering my own question here. I have an 29 year old Toy Truck and the paint/clear has deteriorated on the roof and hood. I want to paint both panels for now to clean up the truck. On the roof the paint is rough in a 12" patch but ok going down the sides. It seems I can use this blend technique with 2000 grit then polish with the existing paint that is in decent shape. Is this correct? Thanks

@GarageNoise

10 ай бұрын

I really think on a roof you'd be better off paint and blending the spot but clearing the roof completely. It wouldn't make sense to blend like this. I not really that much more work or materials and then it would last and look better than a blend.

That bumper needed a full respray but guess the owner only wanted to pay so much.i can understand that it was the daily drive car seen many miles on the road.Im sure if it was a new car hole bumper would have been done still a good job for what u needed to do in the end will only last so long.Great clip.
