There is this very fancy Dutch paint that my dad used to renew his studio. I don't remember the brand, but he had to hire some specific contractor, and the paint itself was sooo expensive. But it was worth it, after 10 years it looks beautiful and shiny, not a single spot has faded.
It is weird that red is the most expensive colour nowadays in the old times it was the cheapest so many armies wore red and many flags have red inside them as well. Purple was the most expensive colour back then so the Roman Emperors usually wore purple to display their wealth and power as an example.
Even weirder is they probably got their red pigment from the same exact place, Red clay. Afterall clay is one of the oldest building materials known to mankind.
You really don’t even have to go back that far. The whole reason barns are stereotyped as red is bc most barns were painted red for the reason you mentioned above.
Reason why red is expensive now is that they were dependant on lead Additives to give reds and yellows good coverage however which changes in Voc levels and so on companies had to give up this type of formulation and now need to use more of the pigments to achieve the coverage.
You could do a Money Pit episode on the process of painting interior or exterior parts and see which paint looks the best. Could add in some cheap automotive spray can paint from AutoZone/O'Reily's to the mix too
for the paint, you could paint the sides of a stack of cards or whatever to make the most of it and sell it or give it away. that way, many people get to experience the paint and you could sign it to make it merch. :) cool vid also
In most applications, water is considered a solvent. More conveniently, it's also a highly polar solvent, meaning that it is pretty effective at bonding to and dissolving a lot of different compounds. So any other solvents aside from water that are added to water-based paints are used to make the other compounds more soluble in water.
Glasurit is good stuff. There's a reason why a lot of German cars use it. Look at how durable years later their finishes are compared to other manufacturers and their methods of body finishing. The undercoating/ rust inhibitors/ protective coating procedures are also not created equal. Take cosmoline and cavity waxes for example. The quality/ application process can make all the difference in preserving the metal work for years to come. Thanks for sharing this, even though I've worked in the collision/ body industry it was still cool to see and educational.

We determine the color of an object based on the spectrum it reflects. In this case, that means the paint IS blue. It simply doesn't use blue pigment to achieve this color. If you want your mind blown, check out magenta.

I've painted a lot with both the 22 series and 90 series paints by Glasurit. Another note to remark about the Glasurit lines of paints is that they're also made for ease of use and learning them is alot easier than other paints. A Glasurit 22 line beige and a Glasurit 22 line black color will behave similarly when being sprayed onto a panel. They balance the ratios of ingredients so that all paints feel the same to put down and they also make sure they cover similarly across the board. However in my experiences with other brands such as Spies Heckler Permasolid line I tried two colors, a black one and a beige one. The black color had an ok surface tension flow but they beige one had a very high chance of making runs, the fact that when painting with Spies Heckler I had to learn myself how to thin out the beige color to stop it from making it run was very irritating. Other brand such as Spies Heckler permasolid behave extremely differently even though they work the same as the 22 line from Glasurit. I have a lot experiences with other brands and a confidence to say that if you get to learn glasurit it is by far the best paint option on the market, both for the hobby market and the professional one. And before anyone asks what paintgun I use I have two SATAjet 4000 B RP digital 1.3. One for Clear coats and solvent paints, and another for Water based paints. Just my two cents.
I’ve been lucky enough to have a dad who went to a glasurit painting school and has sprayed the paint professionally for over 25 years now and he’s even rubbing off some of the knowledge onto me lol.
I work in the paint department of a parts supplier for Toyota, Lexus and Subaru, we're still using solvent based paints, I remember the first time I walked into the mix room of one of the lines I felt like the room was spinning thanks to the fumes. I can also say that silver is the biggest pain to paint and Lexus paint is double the cost of Toyota paint.
having worked in a body repair and paint shop i can agree with everything said in this video water based paint has over 3000 different shades of silver in total we had a rack of 60 different paint cans from glasuruit a German auto paint company
Great video as a body man this guy touched on all things that make paint so expensive and what it is. A lot guys we’ve quoted think we’re out to lunch but really that’s what it costs
Take two similar items, Paint one with the fancy paint and paint the other with the cheap paint. Then show us the final look from multiple angles in different lighting please! Thanks Jerry! You are awesome!
I absolutely love this video. I work for one of the major paint companies and all of this stuff is true. There is a massive difference between cheap and expensive pain. You get what you pay for.
The most expensive paint I’ve mixed at work was Ford Mystichrome. $4000 per gallon in PPG Deltron DBC. I used 2oz to paint my valve cover. It was $63 for 2oz.
After you concisely explain the structure blue, i'm thinking... this sounds unimaginably difficult to even think to start to create something like this.. then you inform it took them 15 years and i thought huh yeah that's kind of reads, but even still seems fast. Fascinating episode very well delivered!
As someone who works in R&D for a paint company I just want to say that I didn't expect much when I clicked the video. But, I' surprised, you got basically everything correct. One thing people really don't understand is that with paint you get what you pay for. I can make a REALLY shitty paint and sell it cheap, or I can make a high performing, beautiful looking and expensive one.
If you want to see eye-watering paint prices, look at the price of the paint tinters that painters use to make up the paint in a Bodyshop, some are £750+ per litre so that $2k per gallon is relatively cheap.
Left over paint comparison temperature torture test - discoloration between the 2 types in oven and sun fade - salt water test, is it better than a marine paint on a metal boat?
this got me curious as to how much it would cost to restore my factory paint since its a dark pearl red. After some research I found out its about $600 a Gallon and I think I'll be going with Nardo Grey instead.
You guys should find an artist to make donut 🍩 media artwork with it! Maybe do a charity auction or some sort of subscriber give away. Just an idea, great video as always keep up the great work D holes!
This video is absolutely incredible! I knew paint is complicated, that spectrometers were used to generate a paint code, and that paint code was put into a computer which then tells you what ingredients to put and how much. You then go up to a huge rack of ingredients and use a super accurate weighing scale to measure each ingredient and mix. Even a slight deviation messes the paint up. I had no idea that two slightly different shades of the same colour could have a 10x difference in price. I live in India. Over here most non-dealership body shops are tiny independant set-ups that can't really afford spectrometers or paint booths. When they need a particular paint, they usually take the fuel tank lid to a paint distributor who uses a spectrometer and makes the mix. Most paint shops don't put in the effort to carefully mix the paint exactly as specified by the software, so there is almost always at least a minor difference in the new paint and old one. The dealerships usually have all the equipment and ingredients and do try their best to mix the paint properly but in most cases a trained eye can spot what panels on a car have been repainted. The exception is only with the luxury car dealerships, because they usually have super expensive fully automated paint mixers that are 100 percent accurate with the ingredient measurement. Depending on the car type, brand and size, dealerships typically repaint an entire car for between USD 1,000 and 2,000. The independent body shops can do it for USD 250 to 600, but you can be pretty sure the paint will be noticeably different from the original, and quite likely begin to fade in a year. Sometimes they do such a bad job that the paint will begin to crack in the summer and form a kind of mosaic pattern.
I always thought it was weird how when i go to Amazon to buy new headphones and phone charger that the red version costs $10 more than the alternative Black version...
Great job fellas you guys actually taught me something for a change of watching CZcams you guys rock man keep doing what you're doing I love learning and specially when you guys teach the way you do because you go far and beyond to tell people the knowledge of each pigment and everything you guys are awesome man keep up the good work
I would like to see both paints applied to two identical body panels and compare how are the visual differences and try to see how do they react when you launch small stone chips at them and see if the expensive one does any better
Use the extra paint to paint plastic Gundam models. Since it's water-based, it'd actually be compatible with a lot of different paints already used by the model continuity (just don't put laquer or enamel directly on top without a thin clear coat between them).
Grab a panel off a car, paint it, have the whole donut crew sign it, and auction it off for charity.
Could also do a raffle and donate the money from it to a charity.
Or do what Hoonigan did and every dollar spent from a merch sale = entries into the raffle.
Sure donut has a large following on CZcams, but is it really that great of a brand that them signing something would raise its value tremendously. Im not so sure.
Good idea, hopefully someone would actually put it on their car as well.
I don't think that will work how you think it will, but it's a neat idea.
@Whut why you say that? You a professional painter?
@@Shazzkid agree
Use the expensive paint to have “HiCar” pinstriped somewhere on hicar, and use the cheap to pinstripe “LoCar” on locar.
The cars are wrapped
or backwards... LoCar needs some bling
Pinstriping is normally done with colors that work like solids, such as Spies Hecker Permasolid and Glasurit 22 line. Not metallic basecoats.
Oh, yeah! PINSTRIPING FOR THE WIN!

Paints and dyes often have different sources for their pigment. So the dye might have been easier to obtain than the paint pigment.

I live in India. Over here most non-dealership body shops are tiny independant set-ups that can't really afford spectrometers or paint booths. When they need a particular paint, they usually take the fuel tank lid to a paint distributor who uses a spectrometer and makes the mix. Most paint shops don't put in the effort to carefully mix the paint exactly as specified by the software, so there is almost always at least a minor difference in the new paint and old one. The dealerships usually have all the equipment and ingredients and do try their best to mix the paint properly but in most cases a trained eye can spot what panels on a car have been repainted. The exception is only with the luxury car dealerships, because they usually have super expensive fully automated paint mixers that are 100 percent accurate with the ingredient measurement. Depending on the car type, brand and size, dealerships typically repaint an entire car for between USD 1,000 and 2,000. The independent body shops can do it for USD 250 to 600, but you can be pretty sure the paint will be noticeably different from the original, and quite likely begin to fade in a year. Sometimes they do such a bad job that the paint will begin to crack in the summer and form a kind of mosaic pattern.
I always thought it was weird how when i go to Amazon to buy new headphones and phone charger that the red version costs $10 more than the alternative Black version...
3:25 there's a little siren noise and it was seriously confusing me what it was but it was in the vid
Great job fellas you guys actually taught me something for a change of watching CZcams you guys rock man keep doing what you're doing I love learning and specially when you guys teach the way you do because you go far and beyond to tell people the knowledge of each pigment and everything you guys are awesome man keep up the good work
I would like to see both paints applied to two identical body panels and compare how are the visual differences and try to see how do they react when you launch small stone chips at them and see if the expensive one does any better
Use the extra paint to paint plastic Gundam models. Since it's water-based, it'd actually be compatible with a lot of different paints already used by the model continuity (just don't put laquer or enamel directly on top without a thin clear coat between them).
