- If you've been looking for a complete tutorial on spray automotive sealer, basecoat and clearcoat all in one video, then you found the video you need. Fred shows you the steps he goes through to get the best results for a smooth glossy finish on your vehicle.
I really appreciate your inclusion of what product lines you are using as most CZcamsrs don't mention the products being used. In 1961, I painted my old 1951 Dodge in the backyard of my parent's home in Orlando. I had less than $10.00 to cover the paint job, so I went to the Mary Carter house paint store and purchased two quarts of enamel house paint that cost $4.00. They had a two-for-one special, so I got the two quarts for a total of $4.00. What I used for a reducer was old-school Amoco white gasoline that cost about thirty-eight cents a gallon. I then purchased one roll of masking tape for about fifty cents and walla, my paint job was less than $5.00. It was then that I learned about the ten-foot rule. If I stood ten feet away, the paint job looked almost good.
Fred you really know your stuff. I learn new things every time you show these.
Super appreciating this content ✌️
Cars are not what they used to be . Well , back in my youth they were all built like tanks and gasoline was cheap . You could have a marching band of people walk on the hood and roof and you would never know it. But todays cars need more attention and focus making it more challenging.
I did plenty of dolly work and hammering but I also had 4 times the thickness of sheet metal to work with .
Thank you for sharing
Man, you got a real good channel thanks to the girl next door I found your channel.
Watching Fred spray anything is like watching a sorcerer work. I consciously know it's basic physics -- surface tension, chemical bonding, and such -- yet watching it come together has a magical element to it. 👍
Nice clean presentation, Fred. I enjoy watching your body and paint videos despite being a wood fabricator and finisher. You've got a clear, knowing description for each step of the way. The owner of this Mazda must be thrilled!
I came to the comments to find the tosser comment about "Send money for air con" 😎
Awesome vid, well explained 👍
This was so informative and Simple.... Much was learned from this presentation
I relate to adding "a tad" more reducer. We used to add "a bloop" more as needed!
I really appreciate this channel and it's content. Fred is an excellent teacher and explains everything in detail.
What did I learn watching this....I have neither the skill or patience to be a decent auto body person. My highest admiration to these experts!
Dude I went through 3 hoods fighting the skeleton frame problem with getting it flat never did get one as perfect as I wanted. What I found to help was turn the hood upside down and squirt liquid nail between the sheet metal and skeleton frame . A little goes a long way LOL let it dry for a few days then do body work!
Nice job, reds are always tough to cover.
Hi Fred, Looks like you were born to paint!! Also does solvent pop cause delamination? I had some places where clear over time came off in circle spots. Man you make it look so effortless. Great job,video and channel outstanding!!!
Great video. Thanks for sharing
As we Canadians say , beauty eh! Very good information on laying down a great smooth as glass paint job! Thanks Fred!
Great video
Great and informative video

Nice... I needed a video like this back in the day.. fantastic info Sir..
U-Wrench Uni. Great attention to detail. Ever thought of being a teacher?
wicked stuff...... so true..... great advice too on chasing perfection... especially for ppl doing it themselves.. who are not pro's on a budget......
I tell ppl you'll get better and... you did it... its yours..... that's the fun.... also... I fix stuff.. I'm shit at body work... I appreciate those who do it.
Thanks!
oh great info ty
That is so interesting. Home paint jobs go like this. It would have been perfect except for this. The story of my life. Haaaa Love the vids!
Cool 😎
Afew years ago I was replacing the hood an fenders on my truck. I bought replacement parts online and the new pieces I bought arrived in worse condition than the old pieces I was replacing. Is there a reputable place that sells replacement panels that don't come all dented and warped or is that just the industry norm? Thanks
Nice. Love the mad theme music what is it?
It’s called Funky Preacher
Thanks
Can I paint my car with sealer and let it sit for a few weeks?
😎😎😎👍👍👍
Brilliant video. I’ve been watching your channel pretty much from the start and love it. I’m into painting guitars rather than cars but the paint and techniques seem pretty much the same. Hopefully this isn’t a stupid question but is the sealer cost what we’d call primer here in the UK or is it a different product?
I should have done my own research before asking this question. I’ve now educated myself on the difference! Would you still recommend a sealer over 2k primer sanded to 600 grit before base coat or is that overkill on a guitar, given the much less harsh environment it lives in compared to a guitar?
Fred said that for your application painting guitar bodies it might be overkill to use a sealer unless you want to save on the amount of base color you have to spray by using a sealer that you can tint to help with the amount of base coat you need to apply.
@@UWrenchTV thanks so much for the info. Tell Fred I think he looks less like Charlie Manson these days! You might remember that was my comment on one of your first vids. I’m so glad your channel is going well. If I ever make it back to Tucson (I’m in the UK) I’ll definitely swing by to say hello. Last visit was in 2013 to see the plane museum and AMARG!
