- in this video I will explain the process of removing a run with glazing putty as well as an explanation as to why this process is one of the best for removing very bad runs.

No, that was smart kid. You could see it after your first sanding. The high points of the entire run showed through. Then I could see that putty was just there as a protectant from sanding to the good paint. Genius my man. I won't forget that one. Thanks
I always tell my students you never stop learning in this business. I hadn't heard of this method but it totally makes sense. This will make for a good lesson later in the year when I have my students spray for the first time in their lives. What is good about doing this in my class is that we don't have to try this on a customer vehicle and worry about having to redo work. It's done on practice panels where it is ok to make mistakes and usually encouraged. This lets me teach them to use creativity to solve problems. High school students in case anyone is wondering.
I used to use this method. I do mobile auto body and paint repair so I deal with this often. I've learned a new method that is 100 times faster. Tape up the corners of a razor blade, make sure it's brand new, stand it up right on top of the run 90° straight up. Scrape it back and forth on the run make sure the clear coat is very hard at this point. Scratch it back and forth until the run is level with the clear. Sand 1500, then a quick 2000, a quick 3000, cut polish and hard pad or wool pad, and then I'm finishing glaze. Super fast and works better. The potty method works but sometimes you still have a bit of a bump that you end up having to block flat anyways so what's the point? And it takes way way longer and it uses up expensive putty. It used to be my go-to method until I discovered the razor blade method.
What about a large area say 16” stretch on lower door?
I understood it while you were doing it but the explanation sure does sell it!
Finally a new video on this subject,👍👍👍
This is a very clear and useful video.
Great technique, very methodical approach to fix paint runs.
Nice job! Never thought of this!
Great job,easy to follow and not a lot of rapping,thanks bro
Awesome video sir! Thank you for telling and showing the grits you were using. I've got similar runs on my rocker panel I have to sand out. I will be trying this version versus a razor blade. Thank you again.
This is a great trick that I'm sure I will use when I repaint my car for the first time in a few months.
You, sir, are a genius!! I have never heard of this before and is an excellent idea. Thank you for showing us. Subscribed!
The sign of a professional is how well they can hide mistakes
Really good video..
Good technique. I'll keep that one in my back pocket.
Great video
Hey mate great video a method i find allot easier is infra red panel make sure run isnt soft and use a tungsten block to shave the run off its pretty much fool proof if its dry and take ur time. You are only taking the run off only not around it
The best way to do it
I did this the day after and the dye in the hardener stained my clear on a bright silver job… make sure the clear is cured! it worked fantastic on getting rid of the run though lol
Thanks, I've gotten runs like this before and would sand down and re-clear an entire panel sometimes. This works way better!
sometimes it might be easier to sand and reclear something, but this was an entire bedside and I didn't feel like doing it..LOL
Great idea, how long do you let it Clear or Single stage cure before attacking it?
Always been scared to try this gonna have to try on a practice panel
I’m going to assume that this only applies to clear coat and not a single stage paint run?
Good to know never leared this one razor blade is much more efficient looks like to me
I've used a razor for a long time as well. Always different ways to handle a situation, thanks for the support!
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
too much work..just re clear it . takes 10 min.
this might be a stupid question, (I'm not a painter) but why the filler why not just sand the run if all the filler is removed
ok watch the whole video lol I see
Not stupid at all. If you have experience enough to hold the block flat should be fine, the filler acts as a protective barrier for the clear surrounding the run so that you don't cut too much off the sides while blocking out the run. One could also argue that it's easier to reclear the panel, but I wanted to show that there are other ways to attack a problem. Thanks for the comment!
What. Happens to the clear coat?
It gets sanded off down to an appropriate level.
Why you didn’t sand the putty with the polisher?
Probably because it is very difficult to maintain flatness with the aggressive grits. A wavy surface in clear coat is just as noticeable as the run itself. The 600 and 800 grit papers are very easy to make waves in clear coat, and with how much depth had to be removed, pretty much *ANY* grit would have caused waves if used with a polisher. Heat also becomes a problem when sanding that much clear coat off with a polisher and sand paper.
He did it exactly right by blocking it by hand to get the majority of the run out so it would come out straight and no waves. Remember that using a polisher and sand paper is only to be used to remove sanding scratches, not major paint defects.
thanks
I never mastered this. Just seen it done by my father. I was actually better using a razor blade. Which is scare
They do make 2" tape bro,, lol
You will to get pleats in 2" tape when you have to tape in curved lines.
or you can get a pro painter that does not spend 4 hours polishing 2 foot runs.
What in the fuck
Y go thru all that mess . Just use razor blade get high spots. Then sand and buff ur done..
Great video
