The owner's reaction says it all. I'm happy for him. I'd love to see a follow up showing the completed job.

Hello, watcher from across the pond here. After binge watching hundreds of hours of videos, many of which on this channel. Just wanted to say thanks for the content. Recently did my first paint job using a LVLP a610 and a small compressor, this was on a bare metal tubular chassis using 2k epoxy primer followed by 2k single stage metallic but I will go on to paint the car itself once it's built. Still lots for me to learn but this type of content has been invaluable to getting the confidence to have a try so thanks, keep up the good work!

Finally single stage,i hope we gonna see more of it,keep up the good work,so inspiring.

I really like the slower pace presentation of your current videos and over the last little bit. It's much easier for me to follow as a very inexperienced painter

I used the Nason single stage on my mom’s Miata using this introduction first coat and then two heavy coats after and three years later and it still looks great!

I so much thank you for this video. As hobbiest and live in a city with no proper room or equipment, this video changed my mind and helped a lot. I tried and failed both BC/CC and SS in my limited situation, but finally had successful result last night with single stage paint and clear coat. It was genius idea and very forgiven even in my limited situation. Thank you Brian.

Great job. I have a 93 z71 I'm restoring and this video was perfect. Love the way you explain the process. It really helps us beginners and gives me confidence.

Always good to see you and Pedro together

Great timing with this video, My brother and I have been talking about repainting his car in single stage to keep cost down and I'm used to spraying basecoat and clear. Going back black with it; a little less forgiving than white would be, but this video helped give me the confidence to give it a shot.

Beautiful! When you talk about keeping the wet edge, I deeply regret having tossed my early 80's Martin Senour paint chip book. It had a great tech section which included a diagram of how to move around a full sized car (single stage back then) to keep the edges wet. I recall those jobs as being extremely frantic, especially when you needed to refill the gun. Laying the hose out in the proper shape on the floor to facilitate moving from side to side and front to back was equally important. Like you say, basecoat clear is much easier and forgiving. Metallics were nearly impossible to get wet without zebra stripes. Great video as always!

This video reaffirmed my suspicions of issues i had laying out paint. Ive only done a few cars and it was years ago but had issues with orange peel and always suspected using medium hardner and reducer rather than slow was causing most of the issues. We'll see how my next goes hopefully this spring or summer. Thanks for sharing your info. Great channel!

Well done Brian. First time I did a base/clear job my first thought was this is easy………….that was after many years of essentially shooting single stage (urethanes, enamels, lacquer…..)

I did single stage and had fish eyes EVRYWHERE. But the guy was a seasoned fisherman, so I told him I added the fish eyes to honor his fishing passion. He was thrilled, and all of his fishing buddies were jealous.

Thank you Brian. We took an engine bay from rattle can black to single stage red (body color) recently. It come out beautiful thanks tp tips ive picked up by watching your channel.

I've been waiting for a single stage video. Can't wait til it warms up so I can paint my truck. Thanks Brian.

I have recently been spraying some fiberglass airplane parts. I discovered on my own that the first coat should be thin. Wish I would have seen this video first!! I was trying to make it shine on the first coat, and getting runs like crazy. I then put a thin coat on, and pounded the second coat with great shine and no runs. It lays out so nice too! Sometimes I would get little bubbles in the paint from tiny pores in the fiberglass. I would pound a third coat over those areas and they would fill right in and not even need sanding or buffing. I used Omni single stage and it seems to work really well with the gloss hardener. Love this stuff.

Big truck like this is a true project. There is a reason single stage paint is so much better. I can’t help myself though and go for at least 3 coats of clear because I love that forever depth to the finish.

Speechless, man ,...two words,....love it!!❤ paint society is the crack

This is definitely the smarter way to do single stage for max gloss. My most recent job the third coat of single stage is where I got to much build up and runs. Which are easy to cut and buff out ESPECIALLY on single stage solid color. But these guys definitely did a great job! nason products are also another one of the best DIY friendly budget paints that give a professional finish.

Only thing I do differently from the video is how long I wait to apply clear. I do wait 15-30 min depending on the weather or thinners used. I've had reactions with the clear and paint if I go in there right afterwards. good luck with the new job

I just did my first single stage it was electric blue metallic by Hot Rod Flatz. Did it with the Kiwami4 on about 30 psi and it turned out great with zero orange peel. Followed pretty much the same method but before first coat did a few fine mist coats because I was spraying around 55 degrees. Did mine one panel at a time and used an infrared space heater to help speed drying.

Finally a single stage video

Back when I was painting Nason paint was the cheapest paint you could buy, now looking like it’s building a new name for itself. I was doing mobile body and painting repairs on cars and trucks.

Very nice job , admittedly I’m not the best painter in the world and don’t do it for a living but I always take the doors / wings etc off . Makes it so much easier especially if you don’t have a spray booth. Second tip although some may disagree/ job dependent is say when painting a door paint one side first and get some wrap round, leave it to harden properly. Then block back and dust / overspray and then paint the other side . This takes the stress out of dust issues in cavities and actually holding the panels. Technically then it’s only the shells rear 1/4 / roof skin to do in one hit and if you F up it’s a lot easier to just blow in / re paint. Never underestimate how hard and skilled someone needs to be to paint a car . Oh and yeah it sounds stupid and obvious but make sure ALL your panels fit , PROPERLY!!!! 😂

The beauty with single stage paint is you can re-coat to cover imperfections. The disadvantage to single stage (without a coat of clear) it is difficult to do a blend in case of body damage. Also with metallics there is a trade off between the flake laying down right and orange peel. As usual Brian, well done!😎

As said, the blending solvent is a great tool. They work. Blend into the next panel with an elongated S diagonal pattern. For all over metalics, get plenty of wet EVEN paint (three medium wet coats) coverage on the car with slow reducer, let dry to the touch of the tape. Then reduce the paint another 30% and spray it with a fast arm stroke from 50% farther away in random directions. Do this "just" before you can touch the paint on the tape. Don't get carried away with this last drop coat or it will go dull in a year. All I do is blends for local dealers and metalic single stage all overs for local body shops. But then, I'm still using 40-year-old Binks 7 and Devilbiss guns, so.

Nice Video. I spray a Lot Of Single Stage even Metallic, I Learn on the 70' when Centari Dupont, Acrilic enamel was the rule. I always begin and finish with slow reducer , slow activator, plus retarder. Adjusting the fluid in the gun to mirror spray, and by myself keeping the shine even start to finish, giving and testing the flash time. Single stage without a clear topcoat last longer, and when fade , onlyy need a compound and come back like new. I only mix clear with single stage on metallic , evrething slow start to finish and a fog coat 1to1 clear and color mix, when the system is 4 to 1.

I hope that in the future my friend's business will be more and more successful

I am a vehicle paint sprayer, I will always start at the top and finish at the bottom, and as you said always work towards the fan

That is one clean square body now. Wow!

Good job👍👍

3:40 I never had anyone explain this to me but I came to figure it out over time and have had many disputes with my father regarding how to spray using the system we use to what he is used to from back in the day 😂

I use an small booth and I have someone trail me and keep an eye for the hose to not touch the job and if spraying alone mix up multiple cups to keep up with the flash time.great video

Totally important to protect yourself. Many years ago I was painting with an autopaint that had isocyanates. Those go straight through the skin. I had a good respirator for organic solvents, but I didn't have my arms fully covered. Yeah, you feel it pretty fast. I covered myself in a proper suit and was ok. But yeah... autopaint isn't something I mess with, though I imagine today's formulas are less.. dangerous.. possibly.

Most single stage urethanes made today have an isocyanate component.

Damn! Dear old dad was an auto body man & painter. Our jobs never came out that clean! I remember late nights sanding & prepping for paint jobs. I purchased a white 05 regular cab Tacoma 5 lug that was neglected during COVID. It set in the back of a Portland yard with the windows down about 3”. I've gutted & replaced the seats & carpet with new. At this time I’m going through the entire drivetrain & replacing everything that has fluid flowing through it. New brakes, ball & U- joints, shocks Yada Yada Yada. Where are you guys located as I LOVE to have you lay down another single stage white w/ a clear coat on a Tacoma. Oh I’ve lowered it on coil-overs about 2.5 & 3.5” so it shouldn’t be difficult to reach over. :😁

I want to paint my car single stage white. Mainly because I don't have the space or equipment to do it all at once. So I'll be panel painting it. With a single stage white I won't have to worry about color match as long as I start with enough paint and blend any separate containers together for a consistent color

Back in the day single stage was my fav dupont centari ppg durcryl excellent and be sure if your spraying metallic it needs to flash longer so you don't have metallic movements

PPG Duracryl was Lacquer. PPG acrylic Enamel was Delstar.

Single Stage is best left to solid colors. many people especially beginners have a tendency to spray it too dry and end up with a lot of orange peel, when I first started I use to spray a fair amount of single stage, in real hot weather I would spay a coat of retarder after the last coat and it would allow the paint to level out like glass, DuPont used to sell a reducer and special hardener that make the final coat look like it had clear over it and worked well with metallic s but that was a long time ago, I would recommend spraying urethane's over enamel's , a little more expensive but much better lasting results.

I love your videos. The way you explain your technique is great. Could you tell me where you got the summit white? I'm restoring a 93 Chevy truck the same color. Thanks for the videos.

Personally I dont recomend using Nason 2 stage basecoat clear sprayed over single stage Nason 2k urethane because it will blister and you will have small craters all over paint the next day. Second, the clear will not last since it only has one coat and it never integrates with the single stage paint, the clear will start to fade out in a year or two. Nason 2k urethane is designed to dry very slow so thst it levels out and you can spray it to s glsss finish but it is very common to run it. The base clesr is designed to dry quick so you can buff it the next day. So when you apply ot on top of the single stsge you are putting a plastic on top thus cresting vapors in between, so it starts to bubble like a bubblegum and then pops leaving craters on paint. Nason sells an integrated clear for this psint to reslly bring out the shine. Singles stage paint are designed to spray and go, not intended to be buffed, problem is that buffing 2k urethanes is very difficult and takes weeks to cure and is time and labor consuming compared to base coat clear which drys and cures in a day and buffs in seconds. Paint specs is the worst part in single stage paint and orsnge peel or runs specially metsllics. Basecoat clear is much more forgiving since it buffs out quick and your metallics dont move like single stage.

Reminds me of about 40 years ago I painted a car in acrylic lacquer. Then had to color sand it, then rub it out, and then wax it. NEVER AGAIN! I had some lacquer left over and a friend wanted his VW painted that color. So I painted it with the lacquer, but rather than sand/polish/wax; I shot some "clear" acrylic enamel over it. It looked just as good as the lacquer/sand/polish/wax. A year or so after, the engine in the VW caught fire and scorched the engine cover--bonnet---hood--?. The body shop that was going to repaint the engine cover, called the owner and asked her to find out what kind of paint I had used. They had tried everything they could think of to match my paint.

Should be the same white as this ‘96. At what point would I do the red? 1. Finish the whole truck out with a couple coats of white how I want it. 2. Allow it to fully dry. 3. Tape off everywhere but where I want the red 4. Shoot a couple coats of red. 5. Allow to dry. 6. Pull tape and paper 7. Shoot clear a couple coats over the whole thing. 8. Allow to dry. 9. Cut/buff -or- wet sand, then cut/buff Sound about right?

I also use Nason clear but different type we have in Europe. Seems pretty good and very cheap
