    People who take their time to help others and teach their wisdom are humanity's MVPs.
    It's a practical kind of kindness that literally improves the world, and the student, one project at a time.
    That's a wordy way of saying thank you in a way that acknowledges your humanity. I appreciate the time you've taken to help me be less stupid lol.

    My last few projects have been nothing but orange peel so I had to figure out what was wrong, after this video I figured out everything I was doing wrong.painted a roll pan for my truck today as a test panel before I jump on my truck again (yes this is going to be the second time I try and paint it) and the pan came out awesome, really hope I can replicate the results from today on the rest of the truck.

      Just make sure you keep that gun moving, and have the right psi , I have also added a little more reducer to thin the paint out and . The key is to take your time and don't put too much paint on your panel in one pass small droplets and just build it up

    Brian, I just wanted to say thanks, the more I watch your vids, the better I understand the overall concepts, and my projects keep getting better and better. The old school learn by fire methods don't produce as well despite embracing them for years. It goes to show that just because you've been doing something for years doesn't necessarily mean you've been doing it right, or truly understand what's happening.

    Brian, I just wanted to tell you: I watched this video twice last night, set up my gun (THE INTERWEBS HATE IT) today based on your instructions and shot my trunk lid this morning. The paint laid down fantastically well! The only imperfections were via prep, not sprayer. Tonight, after garage temps get out of the 90s, I will apply the clear with just a touch more pressure. Thank you again! Brian

    I though I would never be able to learn how to use spray paint guns and then you showed up. Subscribed.
