I painted a '64 corvette with black spray can duplicolor for about $200 bucks and got over $60,000 for the car. I was honest with the buyer that it was Acrylic Lacquer paint, but I left out the spray can part. But it shined like a brand new car. The secret is careful preparation, sealing, lots of paint, wet sanding and carefully buffing. These Rustoleum jobs are not BS, they can look great.
What's the point of wet sanding and in what stage should I do it? Basically, what I am doing is: 1. With the orbital sander, I am using 220 grit sand -> 320 grit sand -> 400 grit sand. 2. Wash the car to remove any dust, dirt, and debris because I do not have an air compressor. 3. Rustoleum Turbo Can Primer. 4. Wet Sand 400 grit 5. Rustoleum Black Turbo Can 6. Wet sand 1000 grit? 7. 2K Clear Coat This is the steps and order I want to do my paint job, is there anything I am missing or should note on? This is my first time doing this job.
Hey man ,just want say that I think most of these people in the comments absolutely forget what your focus is on your channel. ITS FOR THE REGULAR GUY TO BENEFIT FROM KNOWLEDGE THAT CAN HELP HIM SAVE MONEY AND STILL DO THE JOB!!!!. Your channel does just that .I've saved thousands. I'm sure others have too. Keep doing what you're doing and saving us money, time and effort. Peace
Do you know how many dudes would have never shown the runs just to fib the job? But you took accountability for your bad and didn't even blame the paint like some would. Good on you brother 🎉
Always start at the top first and and work your way outwards. That way you have less chance of runs due to excessive paint (although I think you just laid it on way too thick on the side of the hood) and less chance of you or your air hose rubbing up against wet paint. For a first time, not bad. My first time I mixed the paint/thinner ratio backwards and got spit balls all over the hood. Paint was way too thick for the gun to atomize. Fortunately it was fairly easy to remove them, remix, and shoot again. Came out great. Live and learn. As for the naysayers here, LEARN FROM HIS EXPERIENCE so you don't make the same errors. As for the runs, there's a technique you can use to remove runs, although you have a LOT there. spread a thin layer of bondo over the area, let it dry, and start wet sanding it. The bondo protects the lower paint while you sand off the runs. As you get close to level, use finer wet sand paper. As soon as all the bondo is sanded away, the runs will be gone too. Takes practice so you don't sand right through the paint. For you, I'd re-sand the whole fender and edge of hood and re shoot.
Honestly I don't care about runs on a solid color at all. Worst case sand down and respray which was exactly what we did. Fixed it in 45 min no big deal 🙂
Single stage paint jobs are perfectly acceptable. I've done hundreds. For a while I used a "recipe" that worked really well. It was basically a cheap enamel mixed with a good brand name catalyst and high-end reducer. It worked very well, laid down smooth, and stayed nice and glossy for years later. I even did a few family members' cars this way. Now you won't colour match and blend with the same success as 2 stage jobs, but for low cost, all-over jobs, it worked fine and had very acceptable results. Practice and knowing your equipment will go a long way to preventing runs.
This was a situation where I had a small paint reaction and tried putting a little more paint on it which developed into a run. I've sprayed paint all the way down to 25 degrees no runs at all.. Sometimes we just have them days lol
That layed out pretty good for single stage. You hoged it on pretty good. As it dries it should lay even flatter. Tons of haters. What more can you expect from a garage paint job. Looks good for the money. 👍👍
Hey good job on that paint job Marco! Just so you know I used Rustoleum reduced down because it was cheap and then used speedokote paint over that then the speedokote clear and it turned out great, I use this method when I can not spend the money on a sealer. Rustoleum is cheap and only needs something like acetone to reduce it 1/3. The sheen I use is satin then the actual base coat over that and it turns out PERFECT! Anyway another cheap way to get great results on a budget
I had a deadline, so as soon as I saw that metal starting to cry, I wiped those tears off the entirety of the vendor very meticulously might I add. Then i sprayed that thing as the surrounding paint was beginning to tack up. It worked! GREAT VIDEO. THANKS
Love it man, going to attempt my first one next spring, this was a really good diy video, everybody else says do all the extra prepping, but for folks with project cars & not caring for a perfect but decent looking paint job without doing all the extra bs this is the video!
I have a 1998 infiniti in black. the spoiler and front bumper paint was wearing thin. I figured I would take it to the paint shop and have it fixed. The guy gave me an estimate of over 1 thousand dollars to paint a spoiler and a front bumper. He wanted 1800 to include the hood. Needless to say I did not get my car painted there. A few months later i was in lowes, saw a rustoleum can that said black car repair spray paint. 9 bucks. I bought it and sprayed my areas in 25 minutes to include tape up. it looks surprisingly good and the color matches. You are doing great work for prices people can afford. watching that paint go in is like watching a magic show. its just amazing how good it comes out. thanks for the videos. and FJB
I'm definitely coming around to this type of painting. I follow Paint Society and Moore's Motorsports too for context. I think an all of the above approach to life's solutions can be a great way to get out of our boxes. I'm not a high end guy and I like the grungier lived in look but I can start to dig this.
Hello man, For an amateur, is solid white color hard to paint? I want to paint my car to white and then put livery on it. And also - there is no problem to paint also interior same as exterior? ofc with some rust protection on floor and stuff :)
Not really if you use the speedokote white single stage paint .. you can lay it on very light and it still looks glossy and smooth . Doesn't take much effort www.speedokote.com
I paid 250$ to have a 72 torino painted in the early 90s. He was a semi truck painter and threw some canary yellow on my brown primered beater with a 429. Of course the primer lifted so he had to shoot it again with sealer costing me an extra 50$.
Marco, you don't know how many times I have gone to correct a small area and had to redo a whole bunch more 🤷🏾♂️ Truck looks good, huge turn around👍🏾.
I go full seal. Tack coat sometimes doesn't fully seal what's below it. I go as light as I have to so my first coat is just enough paint to get a full seal from what's below it and stop.

It was for a dealership. I think we can both agree there not going to put a 3000-4000$ paint job on a truck there going to retail on there sales lot for 6000$ , correct?

Great job brother 😮, it's just a truck 🚚 ready to get back into use, the white looks better on the ram 🐏 than it's original color. As a customer I would be happy with that 😊. ❤from New Zealand supporters ❤
Drips out the ying yang, this is why its important to tack cloth and SEAL even though you said you dont need to seal and primer. LOL yes you do, bondo is not made to adhear to paint. You have to seal it even if its with a cheap sealer/primer.
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 I see people renovating sprinters and doing rust repair and touch up painting. That’s fine, but I had the idea to take it to a Maaco shop (cheap paint specialists), and pay a few hundred to have them paint the inside.
I used to work for a semi-famous cheap paint company it was beer money for us when we were kids paint a car for just pick one of the colors we have they use the finest quality cheapest paint they could buy. Again this is beer money for us we learned how to sand and get the cars ready for paint. The best thing about the job they had a bar right around the corner that had the best you can buy ☺️
I see alot of negative coments here.. i say get off your ass and try doing this for your selfs...good work...nice honest video...looks really great for a cheap paint job...thumbs up from Portugal...
How much single stage paint would you order for that type of truck? And how much volume of activator/reducer, as in quarts post mixing? I painted in a body shop for ten years, but never single stage paint. Wanting to do so now to help my dad with his work trucks and heavy machinery as he's going to sell the fleet soon.
My daily driver is a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Daytona edition. The color is GoMango. It's rusting now....clearcoat peeling....rust bubbles under the paint. I really hate to get rid of it. I can save it myself....just don't have the space for paint work. It's been a good truck since 24k miles. It now has 183k on it.
i dont care i call BS... Sooo your time is free?? you gotta be more specific it's youtube dude. the lights free? the equipment free? your fancy suit free? respirator free? gloves free? come on man stop faking the funk!!!! obviously you need the views

I have a question, I had to use bondo glass for a few dents in my car , I used upol primer sealer after I finished the body work ,, the car still has to be primed , can I use a ss-2790 2k high build primer /sealer without a chemical reaction
$150 paint...... Thats gotta be the cheapest junk on the market. The hardener I use cost over a hundred bucks a quart. I guess its good for practice painting on your own stuff ???
Great job! For a future job paint the hood and tailgate separate and remove the head and tail lights. Wipe it down with 50/50 alcohol and water. Prime it and dry it. Tak rag it. 4 coat it and move faster. White is one of the easiest colors to run. You sprayed it too heavy. I guess if you want cheap you get cheap
Yes it would. And you can do it over single stage if you wanted to.. you just have to be easy on the prep work as to not sand irregular that produces color differences so that when you drop coat pearl in clear coat - it won't show thru..... My best advice is to use grey scotchie pads and scuff up the single stage just prior to full cure... Add pearl to clear coat and proceed with a "tack coat" with increased gun distance with 75% overlap with an immediate cross cross orientation coat as soon as you complete a panel so the pearls flow out... Follow up with 2 full wet coats.. Now get er done !!!
@@SawyerBarnes-tn8ly no where is cheap to get a car or truck painted right now. Advertised price was materials only. This channel is for diy reference.
how much would it cost for everything ? like premier and all, how much is that usually? I have 17 ram limited, been thinking of making it blue, or black lol
Painting my car one panel at a time and doing exactly the same type of paint job. Tiger stripes are a real struggle though, gonna have those if you don't lay down extra coats even if it looks good in the shop.
You can't complain about the feedback you are getting - At least you're getting feedback !!! As a painter myself , I'll send Noobies to the paint supplier & they always come back and say they spent way more $ than expected..!!! And I tell them "Yep, paint isn't cheap"... 2 rolls of tape is $15 - that's literally 1/10th the cost of what you're advertising.!!! Haha
Litterally just didn't video on wet sanding runs out today. Will post this week. At least im a honest youtuber and show my screw ups that's the way I see it
hey man i really want to get my truck done(exact same truck) and i have barely any money to spare for a paint job, i live in southwest florida and was wondering what i should look for or if there’s any companies that you would know of that could get my truck done cheap, at least around a grand or so.. i looked at maaco and they were at 4 grand and the entire truck was 4 grand i can’t put that much into paint. so your suggestions would be greatly appreciated
4 grand um no ,,, get spray gun and paint it yourself spend some time learning how to sweep with a sprayer and layer timing learn a new skill and send the 4 grand to me for giving you good advice and encouraging you to learn a valuable life long skill 😁😏
I'm to have my black 2014 Mustang painted Fighter Jet Gray. The body is in perfect condition and I'm going to remove everything that needs to come off and sand it myself. What sandpaper grit do I need to use? Would 400 be good and then a maroon scotch brite pad? What process should I do before having it sprayed?
Believe it or not.. Even top of the line professionals get the occasional run in their base or clear coat... My father was a painter for 30+ years, and still sometimes got runs... The key to go a good painter / bodywork specialist.. isnt NOT getting runs... its about knowing what to change for next time, to minimise it... also knowing how to overcome that run, and not let it ruin the project... Extremely common to get a run, especially if you are using a new spray gun etc.. While you are learning the gun, and how it likes to be setup... Getting runs doesnt make you any lesser of a painter....
@@The_English_Miner what people fail to realize is im sponsored by one of the biggest online auto body suppliers in the world .. they expect me to get good results on camera using hundreds of different products so I am constantly learning a new product.. most of the guys at the big shops spray the same clear 365 days a year so it's pretty easy to get good not me.. I'm always using something different so mistakes do happen .. I OWN IT, SHOW IT ON CAMERA AND FIX IT !
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 Exactly bud! Honestly, I prefer youtubers like that.. That show their mistakes too.... Its easy to make yourself look perfect on youtube, By only showing their good work.. But I like it to be a little more realistic.... I consider myself as a pretty competent painter.. I have painted small cars, to massive agricultural machinery.. and even i made mistakes every now and then..... No one is perfect.... Keep at it bro.

I used to work for a semi-famous cheap paint company it was beer money for us when we were kids paint a car for just pick one of the colors we have they use the finest quality cheapest paint they could buy. Again this is beer money for us we learned how to sand and get the cars ready for paint. The best thing about the job they had a bar right around the corner that had the best you can buy ☺️
Sweet 😂
I see alot of negative coments here.. i say get off your ass and try doing this for your selfs...good work...nice honest video...looks really great for a cheap paint job...thumbs up from Portugal...
Thanks!
Exelente bro que no te importe los malos comentarios
Beautiful, excellent & superior job....
Thanks!!!
Awesome job, yea you got a Lil crazy on that Lt fender. At least now the bad bodywork is sealed.
Yup
How much single stage paint would you order for that type of truck? And how much volume of activator/reducer, as in quarts post mixing? I painted in a body shop for ten years, but never single stage paint. Wanting to do so now to help my dad with his work trucks and heavy machinery as he's going to sell the fleet soon.
You could skate by with a one gallon kit mabey
My daily driver is a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Daytona edition. The color is GoMango. It's rusting now....clearcoat peeling....rust bubbles under the paint. I really hate to get rid of it. I can save it myself....just don't have the space for paint work. It's been a good truck since 24k miles. It now has 183k on it.
If your close by we could knock it out. I only charge 10 bucks for an estimate
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 , I'm in IN......near Indy.
The hater arm chair painters fail to realize this is only a $150 paint job.
Yup
@Lord-vy5yo your clearly a highly qualified expert in the field , please fill us with all your wisdom sir thank you.
Big brains
i dont care i call BS... Sooo your time is free?? you gotta be more specific it's youtube dude. the lights free? the equipment free? your fancy suit free? respirator free? gloves free? come on man stop faking the funk!!!! obviously you need the views
@@gasmantv93 I guess we didn't read the video description did we?
yeah I didn't see the "For entertainment purposes only" or "don't not try at home" this is only for people with some painting skills. your new name should be Dripper Mcdrippyton Driphead.
Bruhh.... Who does your make-up 💄 😂😂 good video man. That's the real shit we all go theough. All except the drag queen make-up at the end 😮
😂😂😂😂 I was embarrassed
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 only thing you're missing is a little blush on ur cheeks 🤣 man don't let Mr find out you be up there in the woods cross dressing n shit. Trigger can't communicate with that man 🧐🧐🧐
Wow, thats clean job! Respect!
Thanks!
What paint ratio to activator did you use for the summit paint
I start 4-1-1
Sometimes ad just a splash more reducer depending on how it lays out
I have a question, I had to use bondo glass for a few dents in my car , I used upol primer sealer after I finished the body work ,, the car still has to be primed , can I use a ss-2790 2k high build primer /sealer without a chemical reaction
Should be fine make sure surface is clean and sanded
But you didn't count the electricity used during this video and the job. Enjoy your videos look forward to the next one.
😂 true. Electricity is about 10-20 bucks a day for my shop
Did he account for paint sticks and filters?
@@RustyZipper don't use them.
You can’t really do a perfect job when the customer says budget. Looks 100 times better than it did and that’s what matters
Pretty much
SO HOW DID YOU FIX THAT BIG RUN IN PAINT ????? VERY CURIOUS
Sand and repaint just that fender.... Took all of 45 min
Who cares what they say you did a awesome job thats all it’s matter
Agree
Came out nice
Thank you so much for this video متشکرم از شما
$150 paint...... Thats gotta be the cheapest junk on the market. The hardener I use cost over a hundred bucks a quart. I guess its good for practice painting on your own stuff ???
Most ppl claim summit is kirker?.. I've used it a on cheap track car before held up fine, would probably chalk up if it sat in the sun for years.
Welp you tell me? The end result is a happy customer and a decant glossy paint job . I think 150 bucks ain't bad
Good video sir looks good ok I'm goingt o ask a question probably a dumb question is speedkote a permanent paint ?
It will last a very long time
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 ok thank you so much so it a regular good auto single stage paint
@@Zoompipes good single stage. Good quality
Great job! For a future job paint the hood and tailgate separate and remove the head and tail lights. Wipe it down with 50/50 alcohol and water. Prime it and dry it. Tak rag it. 4 coat it and move faster. White is one of the easiest colors to run. You sprayed it too heavy. I guess if you want cheap you get cheap
@@mattmeador2219 ur right sprayed to heavy in some spots
It would be nice to see a blue pearl over the white
Run of the mill paint job these days. Not really cool anymore
Yes it would. And you can do it over single stage if you wanted to.. you just have to be easy on the prep work as to not sand irregular that produces color differences so that when you drop coat pearl in clear coat - it won't show thru..... My best advice is to use grey scotchie pads and scuff up the single stage just prior to full cure... Add pearl to clear coat and proceed with a "tack coat" with increased gun distance with 75% overlap with an immediate cross cross orientation coat as soon as you complete a panel so the pearls flow out... Follow up with 2 full wet coats..
Now get er done !!!
Question what temperature was your shop at . And what reducer . And was your gun on full blast.
Hoods on those rams are to reach across and spray. I’m 6ft 3. And it’s hard for me to reach the middle of it lol
Lol everyone is wondering the secret trick I do.. And it works perfect every time 😂😂😂
Is a gallon more than enough for say a mustang?
Absolutely
I’d love to know where yall are based so I could get yall to paint my truck that cheap. It’s a blue 2006 Silverado and I would want to keep it blue
@@SawyerBarnes-tn8ly no where is cheap to get a car or truck painted right now.
Advertised price was materials only. This channel is for diy reference.
how much would it cost for everything ? like premier and all, how much is that usually? I have 17 ram limited, been thinking of making it blue, or black lol
Not anything close to 150$ if you plan on paying a shop to do it.
I’ve never seen a run that bad tbh lol. $150 paint jobs with $80 on the driver side fender
It was by far one of the biggest screw ups iv had. It was fixed customer was happy
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 hey man “stuff” happens lol. Glad ya got it worked out. Cool videos btw, keep it up.
Where are you located I want a paint job for $150
Did you read description for video?
Did the gallon kit cover it all or need more paint?
@@denverbuerge it was enough for 2 coats I believe . Not three but two good ones
Ah! I thought you were just going for that dripping wet look with the paint 😜
😂😂😂
These must be American prices as you don't get a roll of paper for $30.00 here.
Im in America so that would. Be correct
also bulk purchase price im sure
Nice video. Love the Let’s Go brandon flag🔥🔥🔥just subscribed
I like when you do the little voice
The little voice 😂
Painting my car one panel at a time and doing exactly the same type of paint job. Tiger stripes are a real struggle though, gonna have those if you don't lay down extra coats even if it looks good in the shop.
Yea just cross hatch your paint and your good
You can't complain about the feedback you are getting - At least you're getting feedback !!!
As a painter myself , I'll send Noobies to the paint supplier & they always come back and say they spent way more $ than expected..!!!
And I tell them "Yep, paint isn't cheap"...
2 rolls of tape is $15 - that's literally 1/10th the cost of what you're advertising.!!! Haha
I get tape wholesale at 1.50$ a roll ish
Driver side fender and where the hood meets looks like you dumped the paint on and let it run down!!! Wtf
It was fixed...
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 make a video how it looked after it was fixed? so people shut up
Litterally just didn't video on wet sanding runs out today. Will post this week.
At least im a honest youtuber and show my screw ups that's the way I see it
What kind of spray gun do you use?. I was using the spectrum gun. Now I just bought the black widow spray going to try it out today.
I sell the same exact gun just different colors. And less money..... 🙃
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 were can i purchase?
They use to paint 🎨 the first cars with brushes and then they buffed crap out of them
hey man i really want to get my truck done(exact same truck) and i have barely any money to spare for a paint job, i live in southwest florida and was wondering what i should look for or if there’s any companies that you would know of that could get my truck done cheap, at least around a grand or so.. i looked at maaco and they were at 4 grand and the entire truck was 4 grand i can’t put that much into paint. so your suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Idk anyone who would spray it for a grand. Your going to have to DIY in my opinion man.
4 grand um no ,,, get spray gun and paint it yourself spend some time learning how to sweep with a sprayer and layer timing learn a new skill and send the 4 grand to me for giving you good advice and encouraging you to learn a valuable life long skill 😁😏
Nice job…love the 70’s porn music
😂😂😂😂😂
I'm to have my black 2014 Mustang painted Fighter Jet Gray. The body is in perfect condition and I'm going to remove everything that needs to come off and sand it myself. What sandpaper grit do I need to use? Would 400 be good and then a maroon scotch brite pad? What process should I do before having it sprayed?
Just sand out with 400 grit then 600. Scotch pad all edges
Them drips are highly hideous 😂
Come do a better job since your the expert
Believe it or not.. Even top of the line professionals get the occasional run in their base or clear coat...
My father was a painter for 30+ years, and still sometimes got runs...
The key to go a good painter / bodywork specialist.. isnt NOT getting runs...
its about knowing what to change for next time, to minimise it... also knowing how to overcome that run, and not let it ruin the project...
Extremely common to get a run, especially if you are using a new spray gun etc.. While you are learning the gun, and how it likes to be setup...
Getting runs doesnt make you any lesser of a painter....
@@The_English_Miner what people fail to realize is im sponsored by one of the biggest online auto body suppliers in the world .. they expect me to get good results on camera using hundreds of different products so I am constantly learning a new product.. most of the guys at the big shops spray the same clear 365 days a year so it's pretty easy to get good not me.. I'm always using something different so mistakes do happen .. I OWN IT, SHOW IT ON CAMERA AND FIX IT !
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 Exactly bud!
Honestly, I prefer youtubers like that.. That show their mistakes too.... Its easy to make yourself look perfect on youtube, By only showing their good work.. But I like it to be a little more realistic....
I consider myself as a pretty competent painter.. I have painted small cars, to massive agricultural machinery.. and even i made mistakes every now and then..... No one is perfect.... Keep at it bro.
@@The_English_Miner yea man always going to keep it real
Please reply 😩where did you get the paint from I only want to paint a new bumper ):

Holy shit that's a run
A run that was fixed 😎 took us about 30 min easy

I wouldve screamed when I saw the paint runs 😂

Every time I paint I get orange peel but I am trying to get a real wide open spray pattern I usually get the big wide open spray pattern for clear but basecoat it doesn't be as big for the spray pattern.
Try using a faster activator
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 gonna use a fast activator and reducer next time it is cooler now outside though. Last time I used a slow activator and slow reducer.
I have the same problem with Direct Gloss, but I was using fast activator and fast reducer... I was told to use slow to make it flow out? Is that not correct? Do you always have to match the speed of activator with speed of reducer? Have you got any other tips for orange peel? Cheers.
