Subscribed. You are well-spoken and articulate and straight forward with your explanations.

I remember watching your older spraycan videos many years ago because i was painting my civics hood. This brings back memories!

I've done this job before, here's what I did differently: 1. I took the hood off. It was easier to just remove the hood than to mask the entire vehicle. YMMV, it largely depends on how many things you need to disconnect from the hood, and how heavy it is (my Ranger has an aluminum hood so I only had to deal with bulk; a steel hood is more likely a two-man job). Taking the hood off also gives you the opportunity to hang it and paint on a vertical surface instead of a horizontal one. With spray cans, this is better. 2. I wet-sanded with 2000 grit between base and clear coat applications to help reduce orange peel. 3. I spent on my primer and clear coat with 2k supplies but went cheap on the color, because it was black. If you have a tougher color, a body shop supply store is a good choice, but quality is more important on your primer and clear than it is on your color.

Absolutely makes it a more enjoyable and pertinent video!

There's a lazier/easier way - get some laquer & varnish remover spray - they do it in aerosols.. spray it on the clearcoat, let it work, use a plastic scraper to scrape off the old clear. Wash the panel down well, use a grey scotchbrite pad to lightly scuff the original base & provide a key... spray on fresh clearcoat.. Go have a beer. :-)

Wow. That's a great tip.

you always do a great job breaking things down.

The problem with doing large areas with those spray cans is not that the paint is bad. Its catalyzed paint, its fine. The issue is the small amount of paint it delivers. It puts such a thin coat its hard to get it to flow and level out. You can never it it on right enough to buff either

This video came in perfect timing! Thank you, looks great.

That actually looks pretty decent considering it was done with basic supplies. Not sure about how it looks in person, but on screen it looks like no repair was made. ❤

You never want to do continuously spray with an aerosol can......take long pauses between passes. The chemical propellant inside of the can needs to build-up pressure

Great job detailing the different steps and talking about why each is needed. Was hoping to hear what the total cost of materials ended up being (maybe I missed it) and the ballpark for a body shop to do the job. Thanks.

My 2006 Toyota Tundra had some serious paint ugly problems on the hood and the roof ascribed to age and exposure, I’m sure. A friend tried to repair the paint but that attempt failed miserably. If I had seen your video I might have tried your method. Instead just more than $2,000 later, a body shop did a beautiful job. But it’s a 2006 and I could have saved a boatload doing it your way. Great video!

about factory coded paint #, I have an older car and had the factory color mixed. I was repairing/painting a square foot or so of damage on a door. The problem I ran into was the cars color, "beach sand", faded over time, 20 years or so even with cleaning and regular waxing. The result was that the "original" factory paint code color that was prepared was much darker than what the color of the car now was. I went back to the store and the color was diluted. This was done 3 times and the final result was still noticeably different. Even if the entire door panel was painted you would notice the color difference between the rear door and the rest of the car. This might not be a problem with darker colors though.

I LOVE IT !!! The old man I worked for in my first body shop told me. You paint with your body, not your arm . Yes I would love to see what it looks like after a wet sand

Love this video bro....Practical and REAL. Great Post got a sub.

Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge

I am a 40+ year combination collision repair shop owner. I got quite a chuckle when you started sanding with 600 on that hood. I have people come in wanting work like that performed. I won't do it. I'm glad there are guys like you to show them how to patch up their paint. Because, when the remaining clear that you covered up finishes coming off, it will take all that material you sprayed over it with it. That's why I say it's a patch job. You covered the problem. You didn't fix the problem. But it does look better than it did, to some folks. To me, it's more of a mess than it was. Lol. But your methods are fairly solid. With the exception of not stripping all the old clear and base down to the undercoats, or bare metal. You primed it 2 times, you could have stripped it and done it correctly with another hour of sanding in the beginning. I'll watch more of your content and try to be nice. Lol.

@michaelphelps5064

3 ай бұрын

@@kingboy19971 almost everything. protecting the bare metal with an etching primer is useful for allowing it to set for a time before finishing the surface prep work. Using a filler and/ or a high build primer to fill any imperfections in the metal from the sanding/ stripping or hail, golf balls, etc is important. Sanding the final primer with 600 to 800 grit prior to applying the base color is important for a smooth uniform color. Keeping the surface clean of dirt and contaminants up to the point of clear coat application will help with the final shine and appearance. Its hard to get a good finish with a spray can, on a large surface, with no control of the thinner used in the color and clear. Spray can material is normally formulated to dry fast. Fast is not great for color and clear. Matched to the ambient air temperature and surface temperature is preferred. There's more, but these are the high points. IMHO the video is good basic info. The clear he feathered and primed, colored, and clear coated over will fail, taking his material with it. The other thing, stripping the panel to bare metal will allow the applied material to dry, shrink, and cure uniformly. Priming over old substrates will show up as rings in the new paint job in a short time. Long term the old material will fail, recreating the original problem.

Nice. I've done a similar DIY painting in the past. For the paint color, I highly recommend asking the employee on the available paint lines that they can mix for your color. Some lines are garbage. I would stay away from PPG Omni line because it sprays VERY thin, so you waste more time with extra layers. Since it's thin, I could barely finish painting half a fender with it. You only get about 4 oz of paint in a 16oz can, so the rest is just the gas propellant. I had better experience with Metalux paint line. I still haven't found a method to use the 2k clear without getting massive orange peal.
