My Aunt and uncle are the people that sell this paint. They are great people and sell great products. Support a great family that is much deserving and buy their products!!
They are from Fairview right? I’ve driven up there and bought from them multiple times, painted a lot of jeeps with their paint!
@@AnsleyBuilt yes they are, they are about to move the business to wheaton to a much larger building that will suit their needs as well as a much nicer store front for customers to visit.
Hi max do they happen to have a website? I’m from North Carolina and would love to purchase some candy black cherry paint from them if they have that option
Do they offer a urethane version of this paint?
@@christiansalgado8584 they have a web site but everything I put a comment with anything close it gets deleted. I knowvyou can't post links to CZcams but no matter what it gets deleted
Professional painter for 32 yrs, I give him alot of credit. I can remember how hard it was for me at the very beginning.....
For an old truck it looks great, it's better than when he started.
Nice job man, keep painting !!!!!!
Thank you, I appreciate your support! 🙏🏼
This was definitely a big project to tackle, especially going with a single stage metallic.
It's easy for someone to ignore all the hard work and criticize when something doesnt come out as planned, but I also read thru comments and take advice from people that bring their experiences to the channel.
Here's another project I did after this Silverado, if you could please take a look at czcams.com/video/cWDLyQhr4YQ/video.html
I personally believe I did better just by reading a few helpful tips!
As a professional painter of 19 years I will support the above comment. Single stage is not an easy product, and being metallic it is even more challenging. For starters, you can't just stop and fix an error, you only get one shot. So indeed, you did a great job. My advice would be dividing the job into two parts: cab and bed. Second, maintain wet edge: imagine you are coloring truck with a marker but never take your hand off the paper. This will reduce dry shot areas. Overall- great job, man! You will only get better with each paint job👍
Hey James I made a comment about how much air pressure on the compressor someone needs to paint a vehicle, he never gave me a response maybe u can help me out
@@MarioMartinez-wh8qv
That's a loaded question, but if compressor can really keep up and you are running a regulator on the gun the single stage I use I spray at 2.5 bar......
I spray just a touch higher as that is my preference.....
Follow any tech sheets provided with material and use as a guide.
After that, weather, experience can change those settings day to day to some degree. Size of parts etc.
Hope this helps, good luck
@@MarioMartinez-wh8qv
Mario,
Feel free to contact me again for anymore help. If you are coming out of compressor with no regulation at the gun then you get whatever the compressor can give you.
Dude! I’ve been painting for 40 years and taught it at a skill center! Like you said it was a ranch truck. It great job for what it is. So many of the so called painters on CZcams never use scotchbrite pads!
Those are the best to prepare the entire truck. Doing the roof first is a great idea to do. Mixing both gallons is a great idea also. For what it is you did a great job!
What Scotchbrite sanding pad do you use to sand vehicle you right the videos see on CZcams they don't most of them using Scothbrite pad the regular sandpaper scratches up the surface more I been trying to paint for almost two years but only some months out the year don't have the right heater for painting in winter. Last year I was starting to use scuff pads and bought scuff paste but was using circular pads with a orbital sander.
For a first time prep and paint, while using a DIY paint booth. Wow. For just a non-professional paint job, I say, job well done. I've been using Scotch-Brite Hand Pads by the case since they came out. Many other wet and dry sanding products have come out that I use too. So many options for the painter these days from their equipment to their paint. Not like the old days of the 50s and 60s when I was a teenager learning to paint my cars. I remember runs and orange peel and the hours of more sanding.
@@JonHeckendorf The body shop I worked at our detailers used 0000 when wet sanding after paint. It always worked great.
Came out great. I painted my car after watching your videos and I get compliments all the time. All thanks to your videos and some patience 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Am schooling too wait for results
I’m 12 minutes in, and I paused to pay you a well-deserved compliment! I appreciate your thoroughness, your skill, and that you’re showing it all at regular speed. Your editing and choice of music make it almost therapeutic to watch!
Thanks!!!
This is one of my favorite CZcams channels. Videos are educational, not “over talked,” and motivating. I really like his shop and mostly his perspective on the different paints, sprayers and all the painting tips that make a DIY guy the courage to put some paint on his truck.
Thanks dude ! Keep it up.
You are a god with your spray gun. Thank you for caring for your truck this way. I love it.
Great job!!! The color turned out very very nice. Always seem chilled and relaxed. Cant wait to see it put all back together.
Had no idea that this was even an option. Single stage and for $100! Made my day! Thank you!
Never ever ever spray any metallic in single stage..huge mistake..it can not be buffed evenly..you absolutely van not colorsand single stage mettallic..
Dont do it..this is huge misinformation..
Way to go, I remember the dirt carport! I just did my first base, clear in the garage. Dark metallic, about to finish main body next weekend. Got to have the control coat! Good job again.
Looks great, Honestly I was drooling over the shop I so want one like that. Nicely done sir!
Truck looks amazing. Love the color. Thanks for such a great video. Limited talking and straight to the point.
Great job....love it....Your Great preparation was the secret....I was always told your preparation is your paint job....you nailed it...👍👍👍
My man you don't need to apologize for a low budget and cheap paint the truck looks amazing be proud bro
Wow! Not bad cleaning up an old work truck. I live near a desert so there are tons of old sun baked classic trucks for cheap. I've been drooling over the thought of buying one and painting it myself. Good video!
Where are you talking about??
I finally took a leap and started sanding an old camry, now there's no turning back. (My first time) I'm still looking for painting options. I want to do that with older vehicles too
I wish I was still teaching (i'm retired now) Vocational Education because if I was I would show your videos to my students. They are awesome and you are a true motivator!
Looks good,thanks for taking the time to do a great video.
Good job buddy, I paint semi trucks for a living and work with mostly single stage and quite a bit of single stage metallics. I noticed you start with a light coat but actually if you get a good solid coat on first, move onto your next panel and then come back to the last one with a dust coat to even out the modeling, that would keep things a little more even for you and would cut down on the dry spray of each panel. Just my opinion, you made it look good though.
Great job as always! I like that color. Really looks almost factory as well
All the metallic’s I’ve paint I’ve always done base coat clear coat, comes out much better for me, but if your on a budget, this is another option, I’ve always used PPG products. Thanks for the video. Turned out great.
Perfect color for that particular truck, I think. Great job and thanks for sharing!
Man looks a lot better than before, I think I’m going to try to paint my truck ,thanks for the video
YOU have good gun technic,much respect painting single stage with a high metallic
I bought some gunmetal gray Behr paint/primer-$43 a gallon at Home Depot and used a smooth weenie roller and painted my Prius, yours came out much better!
Live and learn!
Looks great! My clear coat is fading / peeling and so it’s time to paint my 2006 Chevy Silverado supercab. Dark gray metallic.
You always amaze me. From your very first video and humble beginning to now. Great job look forward to seeing more.videos
I been a auto body Detailer and welder but never painted an been learning about HPLV spray guns. Priming and base coats, clear coats and this vide was cool to see how the paint is done vause as I Said I cut and buffed for years but now want to learn to paint and this video was cool to watch from start to finish (prime to painting) thanks for the upload Brother!
Very informative. Thanks. You did a great job. Keep it up, you never know where your efforts will take you. 💪🏽
Good job kid. We need more guys like you nice guy.
Bro thank you for saying where you got the paint. I have been searching for cheaper car paint for the color on my 50 chevy truck. Your a life saver
You did an awesome painting job brother, keep it up the good work
Back yard truck 👍
Gives me inspiration to paint my 83 Chevy
So much work for a 16min video. Props.
I'm a painter of 12 years I would have done the cab first and the bed the next day. Good work on single stage metallic. That can get ugly quick if you rush it. Trucks are a big job and it's tough to show the final coat fatigue when that wrist is hurting. Good job brother. Keep it up.
What a mean az job 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉, truck would be back in use with a sweet az paint finish 👌.
❤from New Zealand supporters ❤
What up GT? good to say you doing another laydown! Keepum commin" God bless you & yours'
Looking great ! That weather was horrible, also a Texan. I really like that color. Please show it together and buffed !
It really turned out nice. For what it is and a limited budget. It is and will be I'm sure very very presentable. Thumbs Up !
Amazing man! I barely learning this painting stuff I bought a truck had a bad paint job so I've been watching a lot of CZcams lately but your video is by furthest the best ! Love your work man! Wish you could paint my truck brother lol !
These are excellent trucks when you keep them running and looking good. 👍👍👍
Good to see you back
Great prep-work. Excellent 👍
One thing I learned in school and In the body shops is bedsides and hoods especially you wanna go the whole length so front to back not leave any little strips or stop half way on the bedsides specially with metallics helps make the paint lay a lot flatter and cleaner in the end. But all in all it’s looking good man!
YOUR GOOD MAN IVE BEEN AT IT OVER 40 YRS YOUR LOOKING GOOD
Nice job. Really made that truck look good.
24 years spraying cars and I'm getting tired of everyone assuming it's all just a youtube video away !!
This guy would actually be an extremely good painter with a few small changes and some good advice.
We don't necessarily assume that. Some of us just have cars/trucks that aren't worth pouring the money into a pro's services. And some of us like doing things ourselves and learning. That being said, what's this guy missing as far as technique goes?
@@alexovercast3359 not meant to insult anyone or what they want to achieve from a diy sense. Anyone trying to learn something new and gain something from it is fine by me, I learn everyday.
There just seems to be videos everywhere on CZcams that are full of really bad advice, for example..the type of paint used in this video is absolute rubbish, my spray booth cost me 50 grand..because painting a car in your garage will poison the shit out of you. If you have to, do it outside on a dry day..better for the lungs !!
As far as technique, learning to trigger the gun (releasing the trigger while still moving at the end of each pass and pressing again coming back) is something that will help control paint blending into itself while moving around.
Flicking your wrist all over the place is what most do !
Good luck with your project 👍
@Jeff Spicoli I'm from Ireland, even if I wanted to spray this crap I couldn't !
At least 15 years since I've used it, it's illegal in Europe for bodyshops to use this because of the high levels of voc's.
I don't miss it 😂
@Jeff Spicoli not just Ireland but all of Europe, every paint has some level of voc's but it has to be under a certain level to be used and sold, VOC compliant. Major paint manufacturers only produce compliant paints nowadays, anything like this single stage acrylic metallics would not be available to buy here now, it's nasty stuff.
Watching here from philippines.. I understand becouse i am a painter.. Its hard so spray a metalic i have a lot of experince.. Good job sir..
Looks good my friend but one thing you don't wanna do is stop in the middle of a panel always go to the end it will keep you from getting light and dark spots. But for the most part it looks good man I like the color. I like to wet down the floor in the garage to keep any dust down. Good job brother nice truck
Looks good. That paint color is amazing.
The single stage paint looks awesome. I will try some from your eBay supplier. A few things I learned in a home shop with out a professional spray booth. The green body shop masking paper is good for priming but it will give off dust and primer particles on to your finish coat. It also gets cruddy from wet sanding. I always remasked over the green paper with the blue body shop paper (has a shiny /waxy face) before topcoat of paint. I preferred 3m 233+ masking tape. It bends nice, holds up to wet sanding and don't leave a sticky residue when removed. Keep up the great work and videos.
Nice work 👍🏾 thanks for explaining your spraying tenique.
When someone stops spraying in the middle of a panel I always cringe. You should start at one end of the vehicle and walk sideways maintaining the same speed and distance from the panel. You start flow off the panel and move onto it, travel the full distance and stop flow off of the panel on the opposite side.
Damn Dude, it came out great....
@gringo loco2 it's true that it's not as easy for beginners to walk the whole vehicle, but you should 100% be working up to it. The difference is consistency, I don't care how good you are at blending each pass, you will never be able blend where you end your pass to the rest of the pass because of the amount of fluid being released. Hard to explain in a comment on CZcams but basically where you stop will be covered more. This is a huge problem for metallics since you'll end up with a line of metallics where you stop on the panel (same thing for pearls and other additives).
This might not be something that the average person sees or cares about especially with cheap jobs like the one in this video.
I agree. I did the exact same thing thinking, "Why are you stopping???? Halfway?!?!?!"
@@kayakfishingcountry it's not the worst thing in the world but it's definitely not good for spraying pearls or metallics.
@@greghercher2068 meh, collision painter for 13 years here. only reason youve gotta walk a vehicle is if its candy or single stage paint. no issues panel painting with metallics or pearls in bc cc if you know what your doing.
Looks good for single stage. Very nice work.
Man you killed it 🤑!!!!! Awesome job!
That's a big old truck to paint. The result looks good. I'd be bloody pleased with that. I need a yank truck in my life!
Many thanks! Definitely a big truck.
Can you imagine, I did my crew cab step side in a much smaller makeshift shed on dirt floor.. 😬 but it turned out pretty great, if I do say so myself. 😅
For single stage mettalic.... last coat, cross coat it or apply a further back mist coat to uniform the metallic. Or... Just scrape up another $100 and just clearcoat.
Looks awesome I’m a first timer and just getting ideas on how to diy 👍🏼👍🏼
great video dude! thanks for posting. I subscribed. I don't know anything about painting, but your truck came out great!
Looks good brother, just remember if your not making full passes fan out the stops and starts so get get high build areas. Looks really good
Man it’s nice to see your videos views are growing! congrats man keep up the hard work brother.
I would be very happy with that paint job..
Nice makes sense now, brilliant work
When you have a dry spot just take a little of your reducer that you mixed your paint with and spray the dry area and it'll usually take away the dry look
Can you or anyone else, elaborate on this..?
@@JayLupe litterally just put the reducer in the spray gun and lightly dust abit on and it will allow it it to flow out better
Talking bout on paint or clear?
@@sinzacustomsandabp7462 to your clear
Really can’t you do that with clear coat as well
Looks Great man ..... Nicely done
That looks awesome! Great job!!
Nice. You did a great job on that truck.
Really enjoyed watching you work and I learned a lot. Thank you!
Nice paint job. If my paint job comes out as good as that I'd be glad.
I like your style man , just everyday guy doing the job best he can just like I do!! Looks great!!
Just a word of advice on something like the bedsides Run the full length of the panel don't stop In the middle it will end up with hard lines
Im a novice & i was wondering about that. One reason. I need enough cfm to keep up?
_I agree and never should let off the trigger in passes you have to keep it wide open until the panel is complete._
That thing looks great man. Way good for a budget job.
Looks awesome dude. Keep up the good work.
Damn...looks pretty good. And that color is perfect for a truck.
Awesome job Bro that's how I'm learning thank you
Thanks for the video. I am slowly learning this art in hopes of painting my own motorcycle parts. It's getting too expensive to have others do it.
It looks really good!! Great job!
It looks great. Paint work is 90% prep work. Your prep work looked good, for $100 bucks you can't complain. My advice for anyone starting off painting try single stage. It's very forgiving any runs can easily be sanded down, and it's a great easy and cheap way to get a good finish, like I said, paint work is 90% prep work.
To get rid of the metallic banding, a wet coat of plain thinners for the last coat will level all the metallic flake in the paint.
Not true
I've done it for years.
For base clear I've found the best thing to do is turn your psi up about 10 psi and spray a little further back to dust your 3rd coat on, metallics will blend in a little better. Single stage the key is keep the metallics wet so they can move around, thinning out your 3rd coat will give the dusting effect also.
Also consistancy in how you spray, top to bottom or bottom to top can affect how a metallic looks. I always try and spray top to bottom, sometimes I screw up and do a little out of order, but catch the mistake on 3rd blending out coat. You learn allot everytime you paint something, and I'm def not an expert, each paint job has been a metallic, go figure.
You Americans have no idea how to paint 🤣🤣🤣
I have the same exact truck . I'm inspired to try and paint it myself
Beautiful job. Thank you for sharing. Very helpful.
Very well done, great skill for a dyi project….bravo
I have sprayed lots of single stage metallic.....
1. first coat fast reducer single spray even coat at 10 to 12 inches
2. second coat single spray 10 to 12 inches A bit heavier.
3rd coat I go control coat 12 to 16 inches Slow reducer. fast moving even further away only almost (dusting the surface)
More reducer in 3rd coat
4th coat if needed (stripes in your metallic.) light dust slow reducer even and fast. again just like 3rd.
FYI singe stage metallic dont last nearly as long as clear coat metallic. But cheap option. Sometimes you can even use a clear over the singe stage to get more life out of it. but you need to wait sometimes an hour or so before you recoat with clear. almost fully catalyzed but just a bit finger print to touch.
Thanks Mike, I'm about to give up my painting projects, but will do it your way next time.
Nice work for the budget job man!👍
Great video! Lots of great information!
You did a great job with what you had looks good 👍
All about the prep good work man
Nice job man,look's pretty clean,i wouldn't worry about the dry area's,a quick nip and polish will sort them out,i'd much rather see a few dry areas then applying it too wet and having runs,keep up the good work,looking forward to your next budget job.
Nice work very efficient you know what you are boing.
Looks great ... nice work Brother
Good job bro, that hard work paid off
Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Nice work. Liked and subbed. Truck looks really good. Maybe update us with a pic out in the sun?
Yup, will do! I'm just finishing some final touches.
Thanks for the support!
I did this also. Couple of things for my first paint, one it was way more work then I had anticipated, and two I made the mistake of only buying one gallon and I think the paint is a tiny bit too thin in places. Will definitely try it again another day on another car.
Looks good man, especially for a budget 👍🏻 💯
Hell looks good man! You explain stuff pretty good too man about the painting process. 🍻🍻🍻
Many thanks!
Good work brother !!!! 👌🏼
Good job looks really well keep up the good work
Great job! One idea is to break down to two smaller jobs by removing bed and painting it separately. This would help keep dry areas from getting the overspray.
Yup! 😉👍
I did that on my last and current paintjob. Way better!
This is a hard color to keep steady. Good job.
Great job for single stage metallic. I started painting in the 80’s spraying single stage like that. That’s not easy at all to do.
Looks great, nice job
