For those of you wondering why I have that suv parked so close, that suv was a rust bucket and was getting sent to the junk yard 🤣

NICE JOB FOR FIRST TIME... WAY TO GET IN THERE AND DO IT YOURSELF...

Appreciate that 👊

Sand further, fill with bondo, sand smooth would have fixed your lines showing through. Couple more coats of primer would have helped also. Otherwise, pretty good job. You're one of the few I see who wet sanded after the clear to remove the orange peel. Nice work overall.

Bondo before or after the primer?

Black is the hardest colour to paint, it shows every imperfection! Your job looks good besides showing the old clear lines but it's a big job to hide all of that. You did a great job and I loved the video.

Just started doing this and I managed to get the peeling clear coat lines to blend in with the rest of the good paint . I kept running my fingers over the lines to see if I could feel it or not. Everything go well so far.

Good job all things considered. I have to do this to my hood also and saw what pattern you used. What cons would you take from your experience? I was told to let the paint cure for 3 weeks at least before washing and waxing/ polishing it

Great video.. direct and you made it really clear..-

This is perfect. What videos did you watch for research? Thank you!

rep prep prep, it's all about the prep. I think that you know that you didn't sand the original paint well enough. Unfortunately, it's next to impossible to tell on video how close you are to having sanded it all out, but it could prove an interesting experiment to try to "fix" this as opposed to redoing it. The traditional answer is to sand it down to get it even, prime anyplace you sanded through, and then base and clear. OK. I'd be tempted to try to fix it instead, especially if the hood is otherwise flat: instead of sanding it down completely, start with 1000grit (I might consider 600 or 800, but being inexperienced I'd tell you to start with 1000, it will go slower but you'll be less likely to mess it up), and try to see if you can even it out without sanding into the basecoat. Even possibly giving it a heavier coat of clear over and around the uneven areas first. If you can manage to even it out or get it really close without significantly sanding into the base then you could go over what you have left with just clear, kind of like doing a flow coat, and then buff and finish. As far as your overall technique goes- you don't have to go as light for the first layer, that's mostly to prevent runs and chemical reactions in difficult situations, which a hood laying flat is not. Going that light might result in a sandy surface on your later coats, just more work to smooth out. Second, especially for the base and clear, keep your spray pattern going front to back to front, with the length of the car. That is less likely to cause any mottling/zebra stripes that you'll notice when you're done (your eyes won't be as likely to notice it if it's there it goes with the length of the car).

Working on my f150 front bumper grill and Hood. And the roof that's bad. First time doing it. What I see that you've done is just as good as I do probably better than me. You did a good job. If do you ever do it again. Take more time on each step. I bet you'll do even better. As is great job.

Bro!!! That looks awesome man! I’ve got to do the hood on my fJ cruiser. I’m going to do exactly how you did thanks for instruction. Doesn’t have to be perfect but for the money you save well worth it. Great job!

Just take it to maaco. The cost in rattlecans will be $200, with sandpaper, an extra $20 something dollars and the average MAACO will charge 300. You are only saving about 80 bucks and chances are it will show in the quality. My recommendation is only paint bumpers DIY style, not anything metal. Regardless goodluck though

I have 2014 mazda 3 black and scratched my side panel and door with a dent. I need to pull and fix the dent first and then use filling and spray paint. Lets see how it goes. Any advice?

@BrianBalatbat

Yes pull the dent out and use bondo to even it out. My only advice is to make sure you sand off old clear coat best as you can so it doesn’t show with new paint like it did to me.

I had my doubts. But... looks pretty darn good!! Next time... move the part elsewhere... or move the cars away!!

My wife is a car enthusiast and taking courses in learning the English language. She told me about your video: ''How to paint a car at home using Rattle Snake''. I TOLD HER THAT I WOULD NEVER USE YOU TO PAINT MY CAR. My face looked painted BLACK AND BLUE the next day.🤣😂😂

​@@hhova29those nozzles are made of plastic, but you need a special primer on plastic. So, not being prepped in any way, the paint will not bond properly and will come off - tearing away the paint around it as well.

Great products for a great paint job... but thats as far as it goes preparation was horrible primer and clear was flying all over the cars around your job... 🤦🏾‍♂️

You will have problems with adhesion and longevity waiting that long between base and clear coat. Best to wait no longer than 1 hour for the best chemical adhesion.

So , you fix one cars and over spray all the cars around you… Next time do it in your garage.
