I like the way you did it, Bro.. I want to keep some of the oxidation look, but every shop wants me to do it the way this guy is trying to say you did it wrong. Like there is no other way to do it. I finally found a guy to do it at his home set up to do ii the way I want. I've noticed that some people have a problem thinking out of the box and only know how to do things the way they were taught and do not possess the ability to be openminded or understand that there can be the possibilities of other ways of doing things. Thank You very much for your video.

Definitely looks better than it did but a little more sanding would have made the whole job consistent. But I appreciate someone who takes the initiative to resolve a problem themselves. Nice job...

I'm currently at the same point you were at when you started making use of an random orbital sander. I actually started out using a sander but with a scuffing pad that sticks to the hook and loop surface of my sander. Probably would be fine for scuffing a faded and blotchy clear coat surface as prep for reclear coating but for what you had or I currently have. I slapped on an 400 grit Diablo disknet and quickly started making progress, probably too quickly. So now I'm headed off to grab a variety of higher grit discs.

yeah that looks great- I have 2001 dk green honda that has that damage in spots all over - so its nice to see someone do this work who isn't a professional. For an average person that looks better than what it was :)

Well done, other than lack of respirator. I appreciate this because it's a real world process and result. I have undertaken similar recently with an older Infiniti and that's exactly what it looked like after clear coat. Granted, I did a more thorough job in sanding down beforehand, applying 2K primer and also metallic base coat. There are other videos like Ratchets and Wrenches that offer a more professional looking version. They also know what camera angles to use and which ones to avoid. It fools the layman into believing that is what their homemade version will look like. Nope, yours will look like this. I did the entire car. Obviously it is a learning process. Eventually I figured out how to apply dust coats with the metallic base coat. And to use a $5 handle attachment with the clear coat to allow more of a flowing motion for some nice wet coats. After a couple of weeks I wet sanded the clear coat with 1000 grit to remove orange peel, and then clear coated again. Then I waited some more before sanding with 2000 and then 3000 before polishing with advanced compound and polishing finish. Yeah, I got carried away but the compliments from family and friends are worth it.

@@hhicks2979 You are welcome. I'm very glad I did it but I had to learn self forgiveness. Errors are inevitable. The hood was toughest. Spray cans work best when held in vertical position. Initially I got drips when held horizontally, like this video. That is especially true of base coat. Finally I read to warm the can for 15 minutes, placing in a plastic bag inside a coffee cup full of warm water. That all but eliminated drips. But don't do similar with clear coat. The warmth increases dripping. I learned that the hard way. I used automotivetouchup.com for my base coat and supplies. I am not affiliated with them. Their products are very good and reasonably priced. But they sell lacquer primer instead of 2K. I had a bad result with bleeding through the lacquer. So I redid with 2K. World of difference. This video helped me learn the dust coat technique. But it is only necessary with metallic base coat, like I have.

When you do the roof,sand it all down with 400grit. Which you should of on the hood,that's why it has them dark spots,because you sanded it to fine. Then I would respray the color then clear it. You'll get a better finish without the dark patches.

Great video. Failed clear-coat is common where I live in the evil CA sun. People fight to park in the shade in parking lots in summer. It looks horrid on a dark car. My 1996 Plymouth minivan looks much worse than yours, esp. where I repainted accident damage and used cheap rattle-can clear-coat (not activated type) which later turned flaky white. I found the bulk of the failed clear-coat can be scaped off with a dull putty knife, before going to wet-sanding. I did that for several years to keep it looking presentable without even re-spraying. I have less work on the top since the clear-coat is almost all gone there and even the base-coat some places to expose the primer. I think I'll paint the top w/ left-over white polyurethane "boat paint" (Interlux Brightside) which I used on my camping trailer. On a flat roof, it will look like the 2-tone of many Ford Flex. The hood and sides I might paint with single-stage car paint (modern looking grey-blue color) if enough left after painting another car.

When applying Clear coat always change direction with each coat for instance if you go north south first coat, go east and west second coat also do the front and side edges first. Great job for a first time! I've been doing paint and body for 25 years

I’m just glad your still alive. That your lungs didn’t harden. Bad thought on that Corona mask. Should have got a good one for that hardener in clear. But you showed all of something we needed to see. Thanks for that!!

You gotta do the last pass a wet coat that’s thicker to prevent the orange peel look, and of course wet sanding

A tip if you are trying to fix CC in a metallic finish, you must not sand the raw metallic finish as you are cutting the metal and other such metallic components in the paint. Metallic colour coat is never sanded once laid down as this damages it. This is why it looks patchy. If you can use a blunt scraper to lift of the crazed clear coat, mask the raw areas off allowing the mask to expose the edge of the remaining clear the clear coat several coats over the exposed metallic and clear coat exposed edge. Then take away the masking, carefully feather sand the over lap spray trying not to remove the protective clear coat you now have protecting the metallic paint. Once you have done your best feathering the clear overlap, sand the whole hood or roof and then clear coat the lot for your final finish. This technique will never produce perfect results but it does a good job at greatly improving the overall look. I have used this technique many times and as long as the base coat hasn’t been cut with sanding or polish or has faded badly then it’s a real winner as a diy CC repair.

You should have followed the example set forth by ratchets and wrenches. By simply alternating the direction that you applied the spray on each coating, (1st coat front to back, 2nd coat side to side, etc) you most likely would have had a superior result.

I just did this. Used 800 grit sandpaper and I used about 4 cans of clear. After, I wet sanded w 2000 sandpaper, used compound and polish and looks so much better

Hi. Looks ok, doing this thing for first time. You need to sand it more, to get uniform texture, right after use tackle cloth, clear coat. If you noticed like orange peel texture, sand it with 1000 sand paper and compound, you will see better results.

have a question. the spray is paint or just clear coat?

My friend did you wait 10 minutes between coats ? Tobias it would be shinny like when you wet it with water. If your happy with the results that's all that matters. Try wet sanding and buffing , so it can shine like glass..good job , got to give you props for doing it.

I mainly do dealer work which doesn’t pay as good as insurance/collision type of work but it’s steady work and I enjoy it. If I was in the insurance/collision area, I’d probably use a better clear coat. However, for the price, the Keystone multi panel clear is pretty awesome. I use a Devilbiss Tekna Pro spray gun, 1.3 tip and set my regulator around 26 psi. I spray close to the panel (4 inches or so) and move pretty quick. 2 coats, 10 minutes or so between coats, comes out pretty great. I live in NY so I have to switch between activators. Winter - fast activator, spring/fall -medium, summer - slow. As for texture, I’m assuming you mean orange peel (looks smooth and glossy but has texture similar to the look of an oranges peel?) pretty much all cars come with some degree of orange peel. My paint jobs have orange peel too. Sometimes it can look bad though, uneven texture, clear went on too heavy in some areas. You have to be consistent with your speed, distance and overlaps to control this. You can reduce orange peel or eliminate it completely by wet sanding and buffing. Other texture could be if the clear didn’t go on wet enough and it looks dry, or if you’re using too fast of a clear coat and the overspray isn’t melting in nicely. Wet sanding and buffing will help that too. Anyway, if you have any other questions just let me know. ✌️

@@christrainor1129 Wow. That was pretty in depth, thanks. I'm thinking more along the lines of spray can clear, because I am not a professional painter. What is an activator, and how do seasons factor in, in choosing which to use?

Autumn oh! I don’t use spray cans, but from what I’ve seen, Spraymax is the way to go as far as spray can clears. Spraymax has a 2k clear in a can (2k meaning 2 part - clear/activator) Activator is what makes the clear coat cure and slow/medium/fast can slow down or speed up that curing process. You’ll want to choose a slow activator if it’s hot and a fast if it’s cold. Hope this helps.

Spray Max - Clear Coat, Aerosol, 11.8-oz 3680061 - From the photos and descriptions it appears to be a 2 part epoxy clear (you activate it, then have a 2 day window). The product page doesn't specifically refer to it as an epoxy, but it seems to be.

Looks better than before. Keep learning keep perfecting sir.

I gave this video a thumbs up and recommend anyone wanting to try this should watch this. If your new to this you should pay close attention to this video as it shows what you should not do! Don't do this. There are lots of great videos that will show you the correct way to do this

Did you wet sand it and buff it might look better

it looks better but not good. thanks for the great video though. Appreciate the experience

OMG dood...THAT'S MY CAR!!!!!! 100% black Dodge Avenger with the crappy water-based Chrysler clear coat....same areas...I'm going to be doing the same thing. Thanks for the video!!!!

Best of luck with your car! After 4 years the one thing I would recommend is sanding a bit more than I did in this video. In the areas where I sanded away all the old clear coat, the new clear coat is still holding really well, but in the areas that where I didn't completely sand it away, it started peeling up again

i would have personaly layed minimum one coat base colour to hite the before amost like a secrete layer but gereat job big difference fair play for taking it on a stang

Thanks! My main regret is not completely sanding away some of those white parts, but I guess that's how I learn for next time

That looks brutal. Whatever floats your boat..

Just a tip for clear coating. keep your edge wet and with 50% overlap as your laying it down.

The most positive man on Earth. Mr Jesus Bless. P.s these results would be catastrophical for negative me.

Great video, but I would want to remove all that bad clear coat first and respray the base coat then clear coat.

The whole point is to do a quick repair. Is sanding and laying down a base/clear the correct way. YES. It’s not a Ferrari it’s a old dodge. With your advice he should also rebuild the engine while he’s at it....🙄

OMG I'm so sorry I did not watch the whole video for I commented and I see you're doing exactly what I said. I take back my comment earlier . You did a good job ✌️

You would be a walk on at Earl Scheib. You missed your calling. 👍🏼
