Amazing how you do this to such a high quality level in the same garage space that you prime, sand, etc in. I'm really curious how you're working ventilation in that space. Maybe in another video can you please show how you are ventilating and also share your philosophy on how you prep that environment before you paint something like this. For example do you try and blow it all out, wet the floor etc prior to pulling the vehicle in and doing the actual painting process? Looks like there were some small dust nibs in that clear when you done but they can easily be cut and buffed out to a nice final finish I assume. Great job and thanks for sharing how you are able to do all this great work in a home garage environment similar to what any DIY enthusiast has access to!

That's a great idea for a video and also what to do if you do get a bug or drag the hose across the paint. I'll do that, but for now all I can say is that the dust that ends up in your paint job is already on the panel before your first coat. Very little dust comes from the floor, outside, crevices, etc. Also I do have a box fan set on low underneath the garage door pulling the fumes out. the door is left open about 2 feet high.

Gonna start using high solids clear when I paint but gonna still use the Starfire base but the 5 Star Etreme high solids clear with fast activator and reducer I know got orange peel when using the Paint For Cars auto paint but I was spraying my coats starting off too wet instead of starting slightly wet on first coat and a little bit wetter on every other coat was looking at the guy that does Speedkote videos when painting and saw how he was spraying and he started off with lighter mist coat not too wet like I did but I have to pay more attention to instructions on paint too it does say on the Starfire basecoat the metallic base to sand with 400 on vehicle before painting. I got a Nason flat black sealer last summer so would be using that still as a 2k sealer but the difference would be high solids clear which never sprayed before yet.

Have a different spray gun gonna use now never used it before the Ronpeng professional lvlp spray gun got it on Ali Express 3 of them a 1.3, 1.4 and 1.7. Plan on getting 4x8 wood boards to insulate the sealing of garage so can have it warmer so can paint when it's cold in Michigan like it has been now today was in 50's though. Isn't cold as used to be because of the global warming over the years though. I have bought some other stuff too like this sandblaster water attachment hose and other stuff that got lately but cold for painting now unless had garage heater don't want my paint freezing when I paint even though have a infrared 1500 watt heater now too.

I used the sealer here to darken the primer - that's really it actually. There are a few purposes for using sealer. 1) change the color 2) seal the body work 3) help fill any super small imperfections 4) hit all the the bare metal spots with one shot. You can certainly prime then hit it with base - no need to sand unless there are dust specs, etc. Hope that helps :)

I used to paint a lot at night too because I would do side jobs after work - same think - I got a lot of bugs. Now that I'm retired I always paint during the day. I could find no way to stop the random bug. The trick is though if you get a bug is to pick it out right away with an eye tweezers or something similar, dab the paint if needed with a soft bristle small brush and go on painting. By the time you're done that spot might flow out any you don't even notice it. The other option... don't mess with it till after the job, wet sand it and buff. You might see the bug color though still left in the paint. Jerry

What size nozzle for your gun do you spray with? I did 3 wet coats on mine, did get some dust and a little orange peel, will need to send and buff. Will 3 coats be safe foe sand and buff?

You'll be fine with 3 coats. The gun used on this video has a 1.4mm tip. How much did you reduce the clear? Some clear coats are pretty thick and if it's warm out they don't have time to flow out flat and you get orange peel. Reducing the clear a bit more helps with that or using a slower reducer. Also, remember that almost all the dust you get in a paint job is already on the panel before the first coat - gotta make sure it's perfectly dust free before spraying. You don't have to wet floors, clean, etc. Hope that helps a bit :)

This morning I sprayed some Nason basecoat XL 442-05 black on some parts (trunk, front & rear valance) for a 68 Mustang fastback. I was using 447-85 reducer mixed properly at 2:1. The temperature at the time was 80 degrees and I was getting ALOT of runs in the base coat. I was using a cheapy $20 Harbor freight gun that had a 1.4mm tip and it seemed like I adjusted the pattern very similar to what you had in this video. Maybe I was not moving the spray gun quick enough as it seems that you were moving a little quicker with your spray motion than I was but maybe there is something else that might be helping the base to run so easily. The humidity was very high earlier today and still is. I would like to get your input as to what else may have caused the base to run so easily? Was it the cheapy spray gun, the temp of the reducer OR do you think I just need to speed up my gun movement. Also how would you get rid of the runs in the base coat as I just stopped spraying it earlier this morning which was about 7 hours ago and didnt spray anymore because I wanted to try and find out what might be the problem. I appreciate your time and input if you can and thanks.

Just got the basecoat paint from Paint For Cars website today but still waiting for the turbine spray gun to come that ordered from a Asian country though the Fuji Q5 platinum hvlp I know it said 15-25 days it gonna take and next week Friday be 25 days so it should be coming by next week it has a 1.3 tip. I don't wanna use my 26 gallon air compressor with this paint again because like you said it did it multiple times when painting with this urethane paint got orange peel but I know they have urethane paints that are higher and lower quality too. I got a higher quality this time than last time paid 99 for a gallon this time paid 135 I still have some of the Arcylic enamel basecoat though that single stage that midnight blue both metallic but the Arcylic enamel paint when used it didn't look like a midnight blue after spraying it with my spray gun. I think the problem could be the psi I spray this paint with and other things but will use a 1.3 when I spray basecoat with this next time. Maybe this paint not good to apply with a small air compressor either though.

@@LakesideAutobody ok was looking at instructions today and it said when using conventional spray gun to spray with 35-44 psi and saw the full instructions in the back but told them to email me instructions so don't have to look of back of can because this time gonna use a fast reducer not medium plus a different spray gun when it comes. I have a Nason Fast reducer bought in the last 2 months though. But have Nason black think is a flat black sealer too. Gonna need stuff fixed on truck because anti lock brake lights come on but don't stay on and maybe new tires so haven't been getting much as was but have gotten a lot of auto products in the last year but still haven't gotten a great paint job yet. Hopefully get better soon because next summer be two years since when I started trying to paint my last truck had rust but my new truck really didn't need to be painted I would of been better off painting test panels. But eventually gonna get a car again was looking at cars on Facebook Marketplace.

I didn't even like it when they operated correctly in the winter - just pulled the instrument panel, pulled the bulb - fixed forever :) It's tough to get a good car my friend - been there. They need to make a basic truck for a lot less $. :)

is the nason 498-00 clear any good does it fade back or keep the same glossy and shine after you spray the last coat

It's a good clear - hardens real well, great shine, sprays on nice and flat. I do get a run now and then though (it's a bit thinner than PPG or Dupont stuff I've used) Nason does make a high solids clear - have not used it yet but I think that's probably the answer. I think you would like it - not to pricey either - Jerry

Do you have to shake the gun alot so the metallic doesn't settle on the bottom? Thank you for the video. Enjoy your weekend!

@LakesideAutobody

No. You don't have to shake it at all. Actually try not to shake it as paint can leak. Once you mix the paint, you are good,

Never start in the middle of a panel. Keeps a wet edge alle the time if you work your way into the middle,, then switch sides and keep going.. Also put some gloves on when you run your hands on it. Your clean dry hands are still oily.. And finally do your front edge first. Keeps from putting overspray onto you freshly painted hood. Nice color though. Gonna look good.

Why Not Paint The Hood Off The Car?

@LakesideAutobody

You could do that but good luck not messing things up putting it on when the paint is a bit soft :)

Never lay the end of your air hose on the shop floor while painting.

With respect that's false information passed on by books, magazines and blogs. A body man has clean dry hands. Matter of fact, they're always dry as a bone. You have to touch your body work - just have good shop habits - no eating French fries while working, etc.

You can see orange peel mmmm something is not right out there....

@LakesideAutobody

If you see orange peel you can wet sand lightly with 1200 grit and buff. You have to make a choice when you paint - push it to the limit and chance getting runs which to me ruin paint jobs or hold back just a bit and buff - which is much easier and looks a lot better than removing runs. Nothing worse than going to check on your fresh paint and finding runs - to me anyway :)

Why are you running your bare hand over it??? That's a big NO NO!

It's only a big no no on TV, the internet and books. Not in a real body shop. A body mans hands are always clean and dry as a bone :)
