That's a great tip. We have used a strip of green painter's tape on both ends of the razor blade as a depth gauge to prevent us from scraping too deep into the paint surface.

***** Good tip! I have done that in the past as well..

Viewing this because I have a run in my paint. Fortunately, not as bad as that one. You did a great job. Gives me some confidence that I can do the same.

There are a lot of ways to take a run out. The razor blade method works best for heavy runs. Make sure the razor blade is new. A used one may gauge the paint and require a respray. Once you have the bulk of the run out, I suggest 800 grit on a hard block (a paint paddle will work). Use soap and water with the 800 grit, Watch carefully to make sure you are only sanding the run. Once you can no longer see the run, switch to 1500 using the same block with soap and water. Wipe the area with a hard rubber squeegee and this should show you if any of the run is left. Remember you must get the bulk of the run out with the 800. Fine sandpaper will do very little to remove runs. Move on to 2000 or 3000 wet sandpaper and then machine compound and polish.

Thank you for sharing this tip, especially by bending the razor so it doesn't scratch your paint!

That was a good quality run. No charge for the extra paint. Out of all the methods I have tried that is what works best for me. Looks like it came out good.

I was a little nervous when the razor blade was doing it's thing, but you pulled it off, no runs, no drips, no errors......lol Great job!

Oh wow, this makes so much more sense than what I was going to do. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing that fix tip, If I get my car to look a fraction as good as that I'll be very happy

The best way , Not to get runs is simple ! Don’t try and get a finish until the last coat !Check paint is tack dry before applying another coat ( touch masking tape to find out ) patience is a virtue ! You won’t get runs if you take time and don’t put heavy coats on to start with !

i was wandering what the easiest way to cut a run out was and by god you just showed me lol!! i just tried on my car i just pained and cut half of my problem off in like 5 min lol thanks for the vid i just need to wetsand the rest of the door and buff it out ! again thanks for sharing this i was wet sanding them before.

Again great 👍🏽 professional job on the el Camino!

Looks similar to the run i got in the passenger door, thanks for the tip on how to deal with it. I couldn't see the run after you sanded it, so it passes the 3 feet away rule lol. Looks good all around!

Nice Sagger sir... Finally, a how to video from someone who actually has a right to make one, rather than some of us amateurs out there! You are right about the runs always showing up and seeing he ripples in certain light, elco looks good overall.

nice work with the razor blade,el camino looks realy nice

Love the ring on your finger hitting that fresh paint lol.. I'm learning something though.

Nice work man👍🏽

Looks good looks like it came out pretty straight .

Looks great!

Proper distance overlap and gun speed is the best way to fix a run lol.. although looks like you saved it. Good job

I have become proficient with this proceedure! lol Camino looks good.

Great job sir ..I have tons of runs on the passenger side of my truck door ..Unfortunately it’s the first coat of clear ,,my question is can I sand the runs down till it’s smooth then spray the second coat over ?

finish lookin pretty good

nice! car came out nice!

Man for what you did, compared to my rush jobs; your stuff looks pretty show room from what I can see!

i'm facing the same problem on my gundam figure because the coat was too thick.and i'm still noob.thank you for sharing this vid.i'll try it.

Nice , car looks good !

Looks exactly like some shit in a 1 stage rustoleum PJ I did earlier this evening; thank GOD I've got razor blades handy. Thanks for the vid and info...

Nice work . . . Dad should be happy . . . car looks very good ;) Rog

Looks great.

Looking good great info

It helps to take the blade to a piece of glass to hone it, you can also round the corners of the blade slightly before using. Go slow because you can't add just subtract.

Good tip but I was looking for a running a paint job that's clear coat good video

Nicely done sir.

now l want to try that on raw bondo,

Looks good 👍

Cool! What grit of sand paper should I use?

I missed up a porch 11 with over Sprary clear coat on the headlights I hop it will work for me when I try it tomorrow

Good Looking Car !!

Nice job!

It turned out nice for what it is, but I think the vette looks somewhat better, though! Don't ya think?

Appreciate the video!

what 3M compound did you use to polish clear coat?

great job!

THATS what I call a run.......... Nice Fix, Looks like you know what you're doing..... heh heh Love Caminos! Good Job

Why did you use 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper ?

Looks pretty good to me. I tried that razor blade method before. It didn't come out as nice as yours. It still needs some work.

the best solution ive found is cutting it with a razor blade and then coming right behind it with 1000 grit on a paint stick... i promise it comes out the best. also heard of using glazing putty over the run but it takes a loooooong time wet sanding that out lol. great work buddy!

Guys at my old shop used to use a small piece of panel beaters body panel file and run it over the top of the run , it would only take the run out and not touch the other paint work. Hope it’s a better technique 👍🏻

how can you make a run like this ?

Bondomino is looking really nice.

do you use any ventilation in your garage? is this a home business? I would like to open one at home here in canada!

What color is that ? Gotta a 40 coupe i would like to spray the same

can I use this method on head light ?

RING!! Fresh paint and you've got a ring on.

Old school. Love it.

One hanger not bad at all. That clear coat looks professional or even artificial, looks like no orange peel at all. I used to stay in the booth an extra 20 minutes armed with paper towel after the last coat waiting for the hanger monsters to come out.

Damn good job

Good stuff sir! What happened to Jim and Angel....not a peep? Even the tunes were off. You must be cracking the whip at the SYF Garage. Thanks for the update Matt.

Ready for the next one... SHIP IT!

Aah my teeth is loving this noise.. Just like running a chalk on the board.... Nice....

Looks good

Are you scraping Clear Coat or paint?

Hi, my name is Rafael, Brazil. My brother had an olds cutlas coupe 71, the same color as his car. This color is beautiful. But with lots of chrome

I've noticed that some clears every clear is different when they run some clears are harder to get out than others I like to knock my clear down with about 800 Grit and 1000 depending on the type of thousand grit sandpaper it is cuz that makes a difference also 800 knocks it down a lot quicker I'll go over it with a thousand either wet da and I'll go over it with 2,000 by hand and mm on a 6-inch d a foam pad pen 3000 and sometimes four and five thousand I guess it just depends but I've not learned that some clears you can go all the way down with 600 grit like if it's a 2K High build euroclear whoever the brand is if it's really thick you can go down with 600 grit and cut and polish it and you don't see the scratches now some of these cheaper clears that claim to be good clear you can still see the scratch marks in it like I'm using Matrix 42 right now I just knocked down with 800 the way up to 3,000 and I'm using an 800 grit and finer compound Presta which is pretty good but I find to seem that even with a wool pad I used to pads one rule with my heavy cut I get it to where I see no scratches then my Waffle pad and a quick-release 3M and then I use HD poly hand glaze and then it looks like glass at least that's what I'm used to use in three compounds two pads

That's a BLOODY nice car

I will razor blade the tops of the runs down and then use a piece of wood as a block. any durablock will form to the run and you'll have troubles getting it flat. just my personal experience. I enjoy your videos!

+Ryan Manzella thanks, I try to get the run completely flat before I do any sanding, But I do have a piece of aluminum square stock that I use for a block, because you are completely right abut the dureblocks.

This already has clear coat?

What was the process ??

I'm gonna try this on a scale model I've used automotive laqure on only thing is I need a small blade

try surrounding the run with a finish body filler (green), then sand it down with 320, when you have nearly all the body filler and excess paint removed, switch to 600... once all that is back to base paint (or clear when using touch up), go over with 1200, then polish. the fine body filler keeps your sand paper off the original paint and clear while you are taking down the high spots of the touch up paint or paint run. good luck, and keep it shiny

@ThurgoodJenkinz

I used to use spot putty the same way. So you can level the run and spot putty down at the same time. I dont know how anyone can polish anything finer than 2000 though. I nib with 1500 then trizact always. Make polishing 10x faster

that V was perfect, i would have added an 8 and called it a day, lol

use some slow reducer your pearls .... and step it back on every coat your pearl to lay down it won't model or bloch.... give that a try I think you'll like it

Light Fine metalics are hard to spray glossy, without motling or metallic sag in single stage, I now always spray them in two stage, lighter color coats don't mottle or sag as easy, then gloss it up with clear coat, I avoid runs by walking the full length, don't overlap at the edges 😎 other than the run looks nice and straight.

You can use the green scuff paper (about 600grit). Then use 1500, then 2000 (maybe also 2500 or 3000). Should be smooth to the touch. You might have to retouch with base or clear depending on what you are doin

how long do you have to wait till you start removing runs?

Sneaky TX Venom depends on on the product, if your baking it or air dry, if air dry I say few days to make sure it not soft and cured, if it’s baked then you can polish it on same day but I advise leave it till next morning as it still can be soft the clear coat

Instead off bending the blade I use masking tape on both edges I find it much easier make a U with masking tape around the blade easier to hold the blade also if run really bad I use putty let it get hard start with 400 wet then 800 then 1000 then 1500

How long after you applied the clear coat is possible to repair the runs??

@SYFGARAGE

5 жыл бұрын

without baking the runs, the longer you can wait the better. You will be able to tell if the clear is still to soft when you start sanding or scraping it. I'd wait at least 2-3 days before trying.

how would I remove a tape line ? I cleared it already then noticed I have a tape line on the base coat.

+Thibault Not much you can do, sand it down with 800-1000, spray some base over the area and then re clear.

I take my wedding ring off to avoid damaging the clear

If i can give you a tips! Try to do a roll of tape on both edges so the corner doesn't go throught paint.. It's safer!

but it does look friggin AWESOME finished. nice job!

I painted a elcamino just like that same color once

I use this method when i get little runs. Never got a dam break run before lol. . Nice elco. Thats all i drive
