@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 if I ever have to paint a small car I'll do it Johnny Cash style (one piece at time). As long as it's not a pearl or metallic job lol.
I actually came here to see review of comp but I watched the whole video was well done and enjoyable to learn most other videos are 5mins of guy trying to talk over a loud comp echoing in garage your video was really well done
Just found ur channel and watched a few vidZ now. Great content and excited to go back and watch more! I’m a painter as well, using a small compressor and low CFM gunZ. Looks like we use some of the same equipment too, Bellaria, MPS cups🤘🏻, purp HF gun for primer. Surprised that compressor can keep up with the Bellaria. Oh, and I drive a Lexus too, 😂. Looking forward to more of ur vidZ man!!!,
Thanks bro. I usually use my Mark1 refinish pro kit. But sometimes for bumper jobs I'll just grab my iwata or another gun I don't care about, will not even clean it between base and clear and just let the stuff fly lol.
GOT Damn!!!! Man, that looks awesome. Don't need it, but would you recommend opening up that plastic break so the new plastic adheres better in the V? Thanks for the confirmation on the compressor!
I want to start doing body work as a hobby and was wondering if a compressor like this is enough to paint say something small like a Civic or a medium sized car like a Mustang. Which gun(s) do you recommend for a beginner?
Reduce color blender 1:1 with reducer... Then add desired about of already mixed basecoat . For a more translucent finish for blends add less base , for a little stronger color but still translucent finish you can mix this 1:1 . Will do another video on this
After plastic weld did you use an epoxy resin that would flex? Also the paint n clear have flex additive? Just wondering I figured it being plastic bumper it would flex alot and I know from past experience without using those products may wind up with spider cracks...
I wish you would list the products you used in your description. Again, I went to go find the spot putty you use on in the video and couldn't find it on Speedokote's website...
I would get the Smr210, reduce it down. Spray 2 wet coats, Sand that down with 800 grit. If your looking for something more ready to go we have a 1k sealer 60 bucks for a gallon. Works great for panle work, never used it on a full car.
Bro I got a question honestly do you think it is worth the investment I’m looking into painting cars and repair em I understand it’s not big enough to paint the whole thing at once but let’s say I’m painting the roof of a suv will it paint it in one go or do I have to let it catch up and how long does it take to catch up
It only takes about a minute or two to catch up . Crazy story tho if you look at some of my videos from 9-12 months ago I was spraying full cars with this thing . It struggled but it got the job done
Yeah bro I went on like a 45 min binge watching all yours 😂👌🏼 good content dawg you deserve to be more famous. And alright man I’ma go ahead and purchase it is there anything else I should buy w it I’m a newb
The McGraw is 5 cfm @40psi is it good enough to do full cars if you have to. Or I might be better off getting the 29gallon with 7.3 cfm @40 rating for $369 at harbor freight. Won’t be doing much. I’m going to respray my bike. Love the videos and the quick responses. AWESOME!!!
Looks great for an at home job, but as an autobody technician of 15 yrs I can say that is not how you plastic weld...correctly. it's a handful of screws and the bumper comes off and you're supposed to weld it from both sides and melt a ridgid metal screen or use a plastic stitching tool on the back side. If you so much as lean on that bumper it will crack again.
Absolutely yes you HAVE TO weld from both sides to get the best job. Agree. I went to school for auto body at 17 I'm now 29, one thing a lot of techs don't understand is if someone only has a certain amount (within reason) to get something done and you refuse it that's money walking out the door.
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 I agree bro, money is money. To do it the way I mentioned would cost someone twice the amount as what you did there. Not everyone can take off their bumper. This is a great way to fix it at home with pretty nice results.
@@realestreaIist yes honestly some shops 2.5x .. Mabey even more. Some shops my way to r&I a bumper, repair, repaint, I've seen up to 1200$ 😂 GOOD OL INFLATION
I had a guy back over my 99 Mazda Miata hood, I have a replacement hood im looking to paint. I am looking at the 21 gallon mcgraw air compressor from HF, do you think that would work for spray painting my hood? Thanks ahead of time
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 well I went ahead and bought the 20g same air Compressor for $269 with a 2 year warranty so before the two years is up I’m gonna get a new one and put a warranty one the replacement as well so far how’s it holding up we buy and sell cars from auction and paying for someone to paint a body part is expensive $200 a part I did a couple with cans and came out good they body shop said damm good got a spray can so now I just have to buy the primer and clear off your site and will go get 1h1 paint from Napa and what advice can you give me using a Harbor freight $15 spray gun which I wanna use it for primer base and clear or should I get the kit they offer for $50 comes with a mini and regular size one I will only be painting like 3 parts at once not back to back take a brake and do the next
@@alivapereviews8057 if your looking to make this a long term thing, give me a few weeks and buy one of my spray gun kits. It's every single little thing a painter would want who wants to paint stuff at home. A super high quality gun ect ect. This is going to be the best value nation wide.
@@alivapereviews8057 your going to be blown away by the kit I'm about to offer. This is going to be the most complete paint kit in the world and for the best value (price)
Why does this video NOT have over 400,000 views?
This video was FULL of tutorial information. I never even heard of plastic weld before.
Thank you!
Haha trying to get there! Thanks!
Nice job! Had no idea that's how you fixed cracks in plastic. Great informative video as always!!!
If there's a will, there's a way. Don't let anyone tell you that the job can not be done.
nice job with this video this really give the confident to paint keep up with the great content.
Thanks!
Great work brother, bumper looks brand new keep those videos coming, Peace from Los Angeles ✌
Thanks!
I just bought that same compressor and almost regretted it until I saw this video. Im only painting a project trailer but glad it works with HVLP guns
Yup great for small projects

What spray gun did you use?
Awesome vid thanks man,

Thanks!
Dam it look so good 🎉
Thanks!

Meehh all depends on the job. It's obviously best to weld both sides of the bumper, but I got away with just doing the one side.
Good video

Might work yea
6 months later that compressor is $219 from $169 just 6 months ago. Got to love our current inflation.
Yea pretty insane
I just picked it up for 165 like 20 minutes ago
@@jtnh93able WHERE lol

Im looking to find the best way to adapt a filter and what pressure to run ??
These small compressors I just use a filter on the gun
I gave a question about the blender.. you say mix 50/50.. or 1:1 but does that include base harder?? Or just base only??
Reduce color blender 1:1 with reducer... Then add desired about of already mixed basecoat . For a more translucent finish for blends add less base , for a little stronger color but still translucent finish you can mix this 1:1 . Will do another video on this

Yes flex additives are usually best
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 thanks... been out of the game awhile thinking bout getting back into it..
Did the sander keep up with the compressor? Have a good weekend!
Sander deff didn't do as good of a job, but still very possible to use for this purpose.
I wish you would list the products you used in your description. Again, I went to go find the spot putty you use on in the video and couldn't find it on Speedokote's website...
Hey bud spot putty is Smr10. Very high adhesion and quality
Im doing a 240sx restoration what sealer do you use and dose SpeedoKote have any
I would get the Smr210, reduce it down. Spray 2 wet coats, Sand that down with 800 grit. If your looking for something more ready to go we have a 1k sealer 60 bucks for a gallon. Works great for panle work, never used it on a full car.
Need to fix a rear panel with body filler, do I need to sand old paint off first, then fill and sand smooth, then sealer, base, clear after?
Just scuff the surface with 80 grit and use the smr 10 spot putty
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937
When I went to buy my paint and clear, I also bought Evercoat FIB-421 - Evercoat Easy Sand. Hope this works
@@RC.56 this should work
i Bought the Mcgraw 27 gal to paint my bug it will be doune in sections so i dont see a compressor issue but may have one with my hft guns lol
I got the mark1 eco for cheap if you want one
Nice work! Seems like that McGraw would be decent for a home garage, maybe decent to paint a car panel by panel so it can keep up
I did a large hood last night and had to bump up the pressure at the gun towards the end but honestly it held up great!! Love it!
part name for drying paint and putty

@@GLEECED I also sell my own brand of spray guns check em out
@@GLEECED and thanks alot !
So I will be able paint my car with 25GAL den with no issue ? Been tryin figure out how big to buy my compressor smh
It will struggle a little but it's still possible
So how much cfm the spray gun you use have to have for air? Debating on the McGraw compressor or a 29gallon from harbor freight but has more cfm
I'm not sure on exact cfm usage, but I can tell you it's more efficient than all my other guns.
The McGraw is 5 cfm @40psi is it good enough to do full cars if you have to. Or I might be better off getting the 29gallon with 7.3 cfm @40 rating for $369 at harbor freight. Won’t be doing much. I’m going to respray my bike. Love the videos and the quick responses. AWESOME!!!
Full cars it struggles to be honest but I can manage
@@CodyMcDonald89 i would get the Mc graw and put a two year warranty for 50 before two years up swap it for a new one and add the warranty again
What Psi did you have the gun at ?
Usually around 18-25 this all depends on the person
Is this preferable to a fiberglass patch?
You could sand the back with 40 grit , fiberglass patch, and putty/ body work the top side.. This method was slightly better and faster
However both ways will work
