As a manager for a automotive paint store (ppg) we started pushing the spraymax 2k clear for a lot of our walk in diy guys instead of using single stage 1k products and that stuff does not stay on the shelf for long. I've used your videos as reference for a lot of people that are trying to save money on labor by doing it themselves so I really appreciate what you do.
Chain, do all PPGs carrie this clear coat ??? Thanks for the info.
@@crisworkizer It all depends on the store manager and what they decide to order for their location. I'm technically a platinum PPG distributor so my main selling point is PPG brand paints but I do also carry SEM interior colors and Spraymax products. I would call your local automotive paint distributor store and ask if they carry or if they can order it for you.
@@crisworkizer carquest
@@CHAINWALLET1 SEM is owned by PPG.
@@williemccoy259 yeah I do realize that in retrospect. I’m so used to seeing them separately as how I remember it before PPG bought them out. And realistically it only made things worse in the end lol.
Protect this man at all costs. What an absolute necessity to mankind.
That was some of the best instructional video I have seen in 68 years. Your attention to camera use, script editing and pace all combine into a very clear and extremely helpful product that is easy to watch. Truly at another level. Thanks.
Yes, sir. I was thinking how some folks are natural teachers. This guy has that ability or gift of knowledge transfer.
By far the most comprehensive and well laid out series on DYI painting on the net. This guy not only knows his stuff, he knows how teach it in an understandable simple way. Terrific job! like and subscribe for sure, no question about it! well done young man!!!
Those 2K clears have completely changed the DIY game.
Definitely. I used cobalt blue from home depot and used a 2k clear on my trunk and lots of people couldn't believe I painted it all with cans.
@@chad480906 thanks for the advice , I wanted to paint my 05 Chevy Silverado but they wanted to charge me 1700 dls for it and I didn't wanna pay all that money for a 6 thousand dollar truck so know I'm gonna painted myself.
@@carlosheras2828 find a place with no dust and air, wear mask, get a good quality spray paint, make sure you don't have dents.
I have a paint store that mixes paint codes and sells this stuff. I bought rb5 for a bumper repair and 2 cans of 2k clear. About 75 bucks in stuff and painted it and buffed it out my self over a weekend lol.
2k is a ticking time bomb. Absolutely lethal. Air fed mask and full body suit or expect severe respiratory problems in the next 20 years
Deeply appreciate the thoroughness of your instruction and the quality of the whole production - this was incredibly helpful for a DIY job. Thanks a ton!
I bought a set of used quarters to practice on painting and buffing before I do rust repair my own car, I had a two minor runs, but I'm glad it happened so I know how to fix it, I wish I was half as good at teaching and wording my thoughts as you. You seriously are a blessing to the DIY car community
I was a professional auto painter for over 20 years and I've used that 2K clear in a can a few times for various projects at home and I was amazed with how well that clear worked for a spray can, well worth the extra cost, Brian, the inside of your garage looks like the inside of a house, you even have base board, your first class all the way.
Thanks Rob! I’m a little particular about my home and keeping it in decent shape. Thanks for noticing and thanks for your service in this industry over 20 years.
I just figured he wasn't married and painted that fender in his family room.
After putting some plastic sheeting on the floor and walls of course. 😂🤣😂
Lol I noticed the base board too. Couldn't do that in my garage. Things get interesting once in a while
A man cave that get real use.
How do you prep a car that has a lot of work paint areas. It looks like it's cracking spawling. Do I just sand it down to bare metal then prime and paint?
I want to thank you for this video. I followed your instructions to the letter for repainting the half doors for my 2004 Jeep TJ. The results far exceeded my expectations. I cannot believe how well it turned out. Maybe too good. Now the doors look better than the rest of the Jeep! You have no idea how much you have helped me or how much money you have saved me.
So glad I found your channel. Not a car guy, I build barrel smokers, use high temp auto paint & this will definitely help me up my game on the finished product. Thanks
Welcome !!
Thank you for sharing your video. I ran into an issue with the 1k clear and had to end up redoing my painting project. I ordered some 2k clear and expect a much much better end result.
Appreciate going back 2 basics as most automotive painters have started. Thanks a bunch.
Just the motivation I needed to finally do my bumpers on my 2010 Honda Fit. I have a lot of sanding to do to get rid of the old, failed clear coat, but I know I'm gonna have fun doing it. I just hope I don't run out of paint since I only have 6 cans of Perfect Match. Thanks again Brian!
I painted my bumper lip using your techniques and I am VERY IMPRESSED with the results. I'll do exactly this to my fender next.
This is fantastic. Exactly what I've been looking for to learn how to do a few little repairs without spending an arm and a leg. Thanks so much!
I like this gentleman. He is humble and knowledgeable. And voice. His voice calmed me so that much, I was about to sleep.
The blue base coat looks really good and even coverage. The clear with catalyst looks amazing. Thanks for the quick tip 👍🏽
Nice color too
The 2k is a game changer for diy rattle can. I've done doors, tailgates and such with the 1k, but I put it on heavier and it was a big gamble not getting any runs, but I had success. The 2k is the way to go, no doubt.
This was a great easy to follow video. I’m very impressed. I’m repainting a used door that I found at a You pick it lot , $95 complete door. Saving me around $600. What a shop wanted for repairing a shopping cart damaged door. Thanks so much . Going to get started this week. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
As a musician (and very semi-pro) car enthusiast, I’ve seen hundreds of DYI videos on CZcams. I must say, this is one of the very best (how-to) productions I’ve seen anywhere. Not only is the production presentation excellent but the demonstration and narration aspects are what ALL tubers should emulate if they want to educate people in whatever subject they’re offering.
Clear, concise and informative the authors of this channel understand the perfect mix of pacing and delivery that so many videos lack.
We’ll done, gentlemen-and you have my vote (and subscription) as an excellent source of “how to paint” your ride in a home garage.
Bravo!
Excellent step by step video. I’ve done this several times to repair clear coat fade on fender tops and sail panels with excellent results. And need to do it again on another car. The 2K clear coat is the only way to go. Overspray does go everywhere though so cover the entire car with plastic sheet and just cut out the areas where you want to paint.
this is great i've been painting with these products for years and never really reaching that level of potential because without the proper training I was missing some important steps. Thanks so much for these videos your a fantastic teacher!
nice video thanks gonna save me a lot of money every year..
koss immak
Came across your content tonight mainly because of the panel colour which caught my eye, my car is hyper blue and I will take on my first ever repair job to the rear quarter panel and your video has given me even more confidence to go for it thank you
You are my teacher. Greetings from Istanbul.
I paint my bicycle 4 days ago.
I choose 2K clear coat, better than 1K clear coat.
Thanks for sharing.
You are a master.
🙂👏👏👏👏
I've always been good with a spray can! And have done some pretty nice matches on different color body panels, door handles, mirrors and other small parts. I have experience in doing work with real equipment, but spray cans and a little time always seemed easier than going to a shop or asking a friend to use their stuff. Great video and work!
1) I learned, the hard way, about the crappy nozzle
Your tip of wiping it off is paramount!
2) That color is awesome. I really want to repaint my Jeep this color
I'm a 43 year old single mom watching this. No intention of painting a car.
You still single??
Lmfao
I'm 41 single mom but I do have the spray cans already to spray my van so I do plan on using the info! I'm pretty sure everyone is welcome to watch and enjoy the content ❤ 😊
@@samspetservicesnavan how u doin?
Love you for watching this video girl ❤
Really appreciate the detail you provide. I'm a DIYer and painted small odds and ends and never could get the clear to look right; always thought I was doing something wrong. I will need to give the 2k clear a try.
I used to put on 3 or 4 coats of acrylic clear coats and buff it out with a DAP-polishing machine and Meguiars polishing compound & carnauba wax. Looked just as good as 2 component clear.
Ofcourse, I already had all that shit laying 'round. Otherwise the 2K can is cheaper, but much more toxic still and just saying you could still use 1K clear for good final results, just fine. Specially if you're just ratrodding or driving a cheap beater, that'y just don't want to look like the lemon that it is. ;)
Nice. I almost picked satin blue for our repaint.
My son and I just repainted his hunter green 95 Impreza to gloss navy blue on sides/ends, with pewter colored hammered hood, roof and hatch.
We did it in the open sided carport! 😆
Took us 26 cans of paint but we did 5 coats dark grey on horizontal surfaces and 7 coats of blue on the sides, nose and rear.
All we did was sand it twice with 150 grit by hand, cleaned, taped/wrapped, wiped down with mineral spirits and tack cloth and sprayed. Took us 4 full days worth of work, spread over a week.
I learned cans of paint have shitty instructions that can mess you up. Always do the exact plan on scrap metal. First fender I used as test spray was fine until layer 2 of Clear coat. Then it wrinkled badly.
This schedule worked the best for us. Looks very good for cans. Temp was between 50 and 70F while spraying, and humidity was 20 to 35%.
All Rustoleum brand. Waited 10 to 15 minutes between coats. 10 in daytime. 15 at night.
Navy Blue 2x - 1 coat.
2 coats navy blue Enamel.
4 coats Clear Enamel.
Cost was about $235 in paints, as all are $6 to $11 a can now.
I love your videos man. I just put in my ride for dent & paint repairs for the first time and learned the hard way it costs alot of money. This can help me paint other stuff as well properly. Thank you
was excellent! I had to fix and paint a few areas on my car today and I had the same issue with the Dupli-color clear coat. It sucks! I wish I saw this video before I used it or even read the bad reviews about it on Amazon. It's more of a flat clear coat and not shiny. I was glad to see I could lightly sand it down with 800 grit and still apply the good stuff over the top and not start all over. I just love people like you that help me and others on their projects. All the best! 👍👍 John from N.S. Canada.
I think this video did a great job explaining how to paint properly with rattle cans. I was surprised at first when you didn't spray 2K clear, but it was a good way to demonstrate why you need it. One of these days I'm going to get the courage to sand down my hood and roof of my truck and repaint them both. The hood has some major peeling issues and the roof had some minor rust spots that I had gone over years ago and did a terrible paint job outside on a windy day. I didn't use the right sandpaper and honestly didn't care that much because it was the roof of a truck that has scratches and dents on every panel, but with the hood peeling off more and more with every wash it's time to redo them both. I know the sanding and prep will be more involved as I pretty much need to sand down to bare metal to get the crappy paint off so it doesn't peel anymore.
Thank you for all of your videos but particularly this one. I watched this the day it came out and since then I ordered a front lip spoiler for my IS300. I wanted to put one on for about a year and finally found a cheap one on eBay and pulled the trigger. After watching all of your content for over a year, and most recently this video, I did it!! And it came out awesome. I used duplicolor hi build primer and Toyota color matched paint. I had some clear lying around to finish the top coat and it looks so good you can’t tell it’s not professionally done unless you get really close. Thank you again and keep posting great content!
Outstanding channel and content. I enjoy watching these videos as they help me get over the anxiety of my 15 year hiatus of doing body work.
Keep up the good work for all us DIYers. Proof again that not all heroes wear capes.
Thank you! You’re talking to me. You’ve taught me much since I’ve been watching. Thank you so much! A top instructional video on CZcams! Keep up the great work and wishing you blessings and continued success!
I absolutely LOVE this channel! Any chance of doing a full "driveway" series for those of us that don't have any choice but to do everything outside? Even if not, you are the GOAT!
Brian I really appreciate the time you take to show us DIY guys. I’ve tried that Duplicolor paint and the clear.. and the clear always fails..the metallic always goes on pretty nice until it dries😢. So with that being said with that spraymax 2k clear man I think you’ve gave me the solution.👍. Thanks again for all your videos. 🙏 God bless and keep the videos coming.
Thank you for these preaentations. They really are very helpful. No self serving BS, just really good commentary.
I just redid a hood and nose for my vibe. Was so proud of the outcome. Thanks for all you tips 🙏👍🏻
It's nice to get a direct comparison from 1k and 2k clear coats the difference is incredible. I think it's what I have been missing.
The more videos I watch from you, the more I feel the need to start painting just for fun XD This is art
Great video man! I don’t paint much, but if I were going to, I would want to have seen this video first. Very descriptive in an orderly fashion yet got straight to the points on each part. Showed a clear view of the products being used. Spoke clearly, no confusion on what was being explained. The only thing I would recommend to put it over the top would be hanging a BIG digital clock that has the time and date on the wall behind your projects. You know, one like our grandparents have all around their house. That way we can actually get a visual for actual time that has passed between coats, etc. That being said, you did your due diligence in explaining time lapses so that is definitely appreciated. Thanks for the vid!
Ive watched this video about 4x now. I feel ready to start my paint project now. Big thanks! Lets hope mine turns out almost as nice as yours
Brian, beautiful work on that corner panel! Showing me the proper way to apply paint color to a surface. Keep producing these videos, and, you'll be getting better with each video made. This one was well produced, clear explanation and visual display to make your point easily understood😁👍⭐⭐⭐ Doug
Thanks Doug!
Thanks for the instruction! I started painting my wrecked motorcycle fairings with nothing but spray cans but grew super frustrated with the lack of a true color match. I did get as far as basing and clearing the metallic gray chin spoiler and wound up with a super super glossy and shiny finish with the same spray 1k acrylic clear. Truth be told, I think I used an entire can on that one little piece to get a flood coat only to find I botched the basecoat somehow!
I've been a big fan of the can 2k clear since it became readily available and would absolutely use it over the acrylic 1k in the future!
Really nice end product, BTW! It looks even better on camera than some "pro" jobs I've seen!
Have you tried ColorRite paint? They claim they ca match motorcycle paints exactly. I would love to know if that is accurate.
Perfect timing. My 2000 silver 4Runner needed a liftgate from a rear end accident, and i found a green one at the junkyard. Looks like i can do a great job with canned paint. Thanks for the Eastwood clear coat advice.
Nice! I’m just wanting to respray the front mudguard on my motorbike and these are the best instructions on CZcams I’ve found! Perfect for my use.
This guy is such a good painter that even shakey cans lay down smooth, crazy
I love these videos. I would love seeing more rattle can videos. I'm doing my bumper right now and you've been such a big help
Thanks. I've always wondered why I couldn't seem to get the same quality that others seem to get from spray paint. This explained a lot about what I am doing wrong. Makes me want to go to the junkyard and buy a used body panel to practice on.
Followed step by step , painted my 18 mustang side scoops . First time diy like this came out great! Thank u!
This is exactly the kind of instruction I’m looking for. I plan to repaint my ‘99 Miata one panel/section at a time, with one fender being an OEM replacement. I have no booth, or even a garage, but I do plan to use the best materials and professional paint I can find, cost no option. Then make magic happen with a lot of care and sanding.
Hi Brian, that was a great home tutorial, albeit a bit involved the final finish looked great. I guess we homers have to remember that the volume we get from a spray can is always going to be a lot less than a typical spray gun so we need to compensate accordingly. However, recently I’ve been doing paint repairs to some of my son’s motorbikes so I’m going to use the system you’ve just shown us on those as the areas I need to cover are of course much smaller! Thanks buddy 👍😊
Hi! I would like to ask a question, if you don't mind. I understand you were about to use this system to paint small motorcycle parts. If you already did, and if there were some plastic fairings among these parts, I would like to know if the coats applied are enough elastic for plastic pieces. I intend to change the colour of some fairings on a brand new scooter and I am in the process of figuring out how should I proceed. Going to a paint shop is kind of unlikely, as around here they ask you for a leg to paint something. It is around 100 euros per piece, to paint. So, a DIY job sounds as a temptation to me. Many thanks, in advance!
@@1zanglang Hi Tzang, I’ve done quite a lot of rattle can spray painting on both the metal, plastic and fibreglass parts on the bikes and have never had any flaking or chipping etc. When repairing and then respraying the front fairing on my son’s 98 gsxr 750, which was in a pretty bad state, I did use a can of flexible primer first (like you would use on the plastic bumper on a car) then normal primer, then base coat and then finally clear coat. Still looks like new even now. I hope this helps!
@@philtucker1224 So, you say even the 2k clear coat is suitable for elastic plastic pieces. Many thanks, and best regards.
I thank you for your expertise. This is one of the many things that I really never learned over the years but I wanted to learn.
WoW! I learned so much in a very short time! I've been struggling to get some decent results on parts and accessories that I'm painting to match the car, and I discovered that I've been making a TON of mistakes! Thank you so much for a VERY informative lesson! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!
Great video. I find laying the base coat first lightly almost like a dusting about 20- 25 cm away and going end to end with 50% overlap and then building up the same way with the 2nd and 3rd coat actually is a better finish as there are no lines to have to blend in from doing short passes and going too heavy first to ensure coverage on the first coat
Exactly. Don’t create problems that you then have to correct. I didn’t understand the short strokes either. Then he comes back and shows how to correct the unevenness. I also noticed he applied the primer with complete strokes across the piece. No consistency.
Primer doesn’t have metallic Patrick
@@PaintSocietyyeah but does it last forever is the thing
The catalyzed clearcoat should last forever or 10 years..whichever comes first. .@peterhura1989
Awesome video! You should make a video about taking it to the next level and how to choose an at home compressor/gun to get better results. Also tips to picking/mixing products.
He already did one.
@@robertgrlic6505 title or link?
Knows his stuff, is organized, and is a great presenter! I love this channel.
I appreciate that!
About to paint the fender on my Jeep, clear peeled off, this video is great, I have done the electrical/computer end of vehicles for over 30 years, And never dared paint anything!!! Your videos have me looking forward to doing it… Thanks Pal
I'm still impressed by your work and the integrity you carry into your projects. I love the tip on the two-part finish clear coat. I have a few questions as I want to try some ideas on the guitars I build or modify. Lacquer nitrocellulose mostly. But have you ever done any big flake silver speckle? Or Metal flake. I am almost talking about the kind of product that they use on Drums or Gretsch duo jets from the 1950's. Or, in car talk, do you remember the dune buggy of the 1970's? I know you are too young for that, me? Not so lucky lol. I remember. lol Also, is all Lacquer NITROCELLULOSE?
I've actually come across some very quality 1k clears and by leaving them to dry in the sun and buffing I've managed to make them just as shiny as the 2k, but again the downside is the 1k clear will always be softer and prone to more scratching than the proper 2k clear. Great video btw I learned most of my painting from your videos.
This is exactly the type of video I was looking for. Our Odyssey van is aging and the hood has a bunch of rock chips down to the metal. It's time to repaint the hood. Thank you for these tips.
I learned allot from seeing what the mistakes where and how they came about . My first clear coat was acrylic out of a can and has always made me think i had messed it up but i see what the problem is now
You do better video work, you make every detail clear so people can fully understand how to do it, which is wonderful! I'm very much looking forward to our brand of spray paint tents being even more fun on your channel! If you are interested, please reply to me, thank you~
Great tutorial for the newbies. I never paint with a fan on near the work. That may be part of the reason the 1K didn't gloss up like it should have. That type of clear is already a pain to get to gloss up.
Can you get away with just using 1K gloss and make it thick. Then buffing it ?
You are an incredibly good teacher! Your instruction is so smooooth. And completely understandable and straight forward. Thank you
Thank you!
Great video. I’m repainting for the first time it’s my hood on 04 Denali. This helped so much
Brian, I wish I had the facilities you use to do bodywork and paint! I was a body-man back in the 1970's and 1980's but how things have changed in terms of equipment and paint! Keep the great videos coming, I enjoy them all!
Thanks ! Times have certainly changed.
Hi NF, I’m about the same age as you now retired but fortunately my son got into a small motorcycle collection a couple of years ago and his little jobs keep me active and occupied. Hopefully that’s the secret to continued good health! Stay well my friend 🙏🇬🇧
@@philtucker1224 Hi Phil, keeping busy is part of retirement and key to longevity. I do mostly cabinet woodworking, tree work, mechanic work, suspensions, brakes, landscaping, and oh yeah, hiking....when I have spare time of course! Stay on the green side of the grass my friend!
a few months ago I did a duplicolor repair on the quarter panels of my ls430. the color match was spot on and the clear coat looked good after letting it set for a few weeks and then wet sanding/buffing. it was all great until gas poured out from the gas nozzle, onto the quarter panel and absolutely ate away the clear coat. not sure if it's advertised as fuel resistant but ya just FYI to some peeps
Which clear coat did you use?
Great video. Glad to see that I wasn't the only one who couldn't get a shiny finish out of the Dupli Color clearcoat.
Absolutely amazing! I’ve watched several painting videos by far the most informative.
I have done countless headlights with the 2k clear. Also have done carbon fiber hood restorations with it. Also have done spot panels on cars with it. I love the Eastwood and spray max clear.
Hey Stephen I've been restoring headlights since the 90s but the way I've always done it is wetsand then compound then polish then glaze and it holds up awhile and it looks badass really even they really yellow ones that you can't even see that headlight bulb through I can bring back to White and clear eventually the old plastic and the UB degradation will take its toll again the clear on them after they look good does it really hold up for a while? for how long?
@@hyperwebbing yes I have done many many sets. I have had 1 set prematurely fail at 2 years, but I didn’t prep good. Every other set has seen 5+ years before any failure to re do. I have a set on my f250 I did 6 years ago, and still look new. A set I had on my Evo were done for 5 years when k sold the car they still looked new. If you prep good, I would say expect at least 5 years. I have no clue when it will fail but I have had great results. I used to sand and polish but I got tired of having to re polish.
Thanks that was an awesome instructional video. The thing I always struggle with is the technique of stop starting the spray can and end up with spatter or too much paint on the overlap. Would be great if you can explain that technique further at some point.
These cans don’t spray well. They spit so much. Check out paintscrstch.com. Their paint is put into much better spray cans.

On a touch up few light spots and dust over to finish my car as I ran out but I have a cpl cans and it matches to my surpise of coarse before putting legit clearcoat over it of coarse
Sorry wasn't finished with that reply.. but my question is ... what is your opinion about my using the paint from the cans and use in my gun so I have a wider fan and whatnot.. would you recommend that?
i did this exact same thing today minus the 2k. will have to order 2k and buff up the clear and respray. im excited to fix my clear coat!
Thank you! I used this to fix my car and it was extremely helpful!
Hello Brian, I really appreciate all the tutorial videos you produce for us newbies! I have a question....Let’s say I am painting a full size van, (single stage, white color), and it might take about 20 minutes to paint the entire van from top to bottom (including the roof). Since it would take more than 10 minutes since I started to paint the van, I am thinking that where I first started painting the van, it should be ‘flashed’ adequately enough, right(?), for me to continue with the 2nd coat, and starting at the initial starting point (the roof). Is that a good assessment? Thanks again!
Yes bro you can!
FINALLY !! Yes!!! I found a video that told me everything I need to do down to the last detail. This video is a masterpiece ! I need to paint a car hood from the junkyard. It’s in great shape- just the wrong color. This video is PERFECT for what I was looking for on how to do it. Thank you !!!!
Great vid really glad you used that color to show the color differences while drying I’m planning on using black so I might not see stuff like that while I’m right up on it
Your videos are inspiring, and most of all confidence building. Thanks for dumbing it down for people like me.
I just stumbled across your video and WOW!!! great job on your content production and step by step explanation. I have a 2005 GMC pickup that has that horrible GM Summit White peeling problem.... I now have a plan to improve the looks of the truck. Thank you!
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial! This was very helpful. I’m trying to paint my motorcycle saddlebags and this is what I really needed. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the comprehensive explanation. I really feel after watching this that a noob like me can manage a semi decent job. Regards from Perth, Western Australia
Blown away.. you’re one of the best on CZcams ..thank you!
This was a phenomenal video. Got an aftermarket fender for my motorcycle that doesn't come in the factory color. Paint should be here on Friday. With these tips I know it's going to turn out awesome. Thank you for the great instruction!
I’m painting my model A pickup that same color. I need to put the top on first before paint because I don’t want to paint it then mess it up when putting the top and gutters on.
Wanted to say thanks for this video cause I’m going to go ahead and paint the top pieces that will have the vinyl covering using this method. I realize those pieces will never be seen but at least I’ll have peace of mind knowing there’s at least a little protection on it.
I get serious anxiety have procrastinating the paint process because I fear messing it up. Your videos have helped me tremendously in gaining the confidence to tackle this. And that motto you’re always saying about “it’s just paint”……….. when I feel that anxiety welling up….. Ive been repeating it to myself and dive in. Thanks again for taking the time to help the guys that want nice stuff but too poor to hire someone else to do it or purchase it already done!
You just can't argue that that panel looks fantastic from a rattle can paint job. Once again thanks for showing another technique. Trucker Ray ✝️
Wise words at the end! Haha. I’ve been watching your videos through out the day, my left fender needs a clear coat touch up but I’ve always wanted to change the color. Appreciate the information man!
Now is one badass paint job from a can. That spraymax coating is unreal. I could totally see this being great for redoing panels, with the exact color that matches your vehicle. It can be tough to find a perfect color-match out there. Many have even ordered the correct color, and it still came out different. Be careful and do some test spots first to ensure the paint is spot on your color. Like the guy said in the video, if you just need a panel done, then go ahead and try this spray paint method. Although, if you are thinking about painting your entire car, I agree with him to just bring your car to Maaco where it'll be done right. He makes it look easy, because he's got experience. This is not easy. I promise you, you'll have runs everywhere if you do not let each coat of paint cure properly overnight, between coats. He had the perfect humidity, temperature, and setting on that particular day in Florida. I live in Florida, and that paint would still be tacky all day. Put on a clear too quickly, without first waiting overnight to cure, and you'll get crackling paint everywhere due to the solvents till wet. Even if you think it feels dry, the layers underneath are probably still wet, and it needs more time for those solvents to escape before applying that clear coat. The spraymax probably uses hardeners to dry quicker and prevent spray can cracking, but I wouldn't risk it. Don't rush with spray paints and just let each coat cure overnight. Sometimes I'll wait a few days, especially when it comes to plastics, before I add that clear coat. Good luck guy! Excellent job Paint Society! Awesome video!
Truly the Yoda of paint and guides for us home sprayers
Bought a new/used rear wing for my 89 Firebird Trans Am GTA. Going to follow this to paint it. Great video
Thanks for the great tips especially about the quadrant painting and the glass cleaner!
I love this tutorial. very real world while obtaining great results. this really helps a novice like me Thanks
We no longer have a Maaco in town, so I’m gonna do this to my Jeep and Civic entirely. Planning on taking fenders off and parts that can come off to make it look nice. Also will be using Eastwood’s 2K Dura Coats, so no 48 hour wasted paints. Fingers crossed. Thank you Paint Society for the tips. 👍
Thank you for your effort of sharing you expertise!
What a superb job. With that 2k clear coat you got a better finish with a rattle can than most home mechanics would get even if they rented a spray gun!
Great content. I love the demo step by step info.
I am watching this video because I am going to paint my motorcycle, I also happen to be a graffiti artist and I am just taken back by how well your can control is, props my friend!
The results were incredible, nice job.
Recently did a major "update" on a 57 Chevy that included completely cleaning and painting the entire underbody and firewall of the car. The body paint was already really nice. I tried the Eastwood "Extreme Chassis Black" paint and was, and continue to be, totally impressed with how their spray paint products work. I have been using spray paint since it began and the Eastwood products surpass them all. It's like damn near impossible to screw up!!! The finishes come out great and they are very robust in their abilities to resist damage from solvents and other automotive liquids such as brake fluid. A bit more pricey but definitely worth the cost!!!
