You did a fantastic job on that MK1 with only a 50L compressor. I am planning to do some paint work on my MK3 at home but with a 100L compressor. I have never sprayed a whole car before but watched a couple of videos and did some test panels. You have motivated me to start working on my project. I wish you all the success in life and hope your channel grows.
Thank you buddy. Don't be afraid to try. Just take your time and don't rush. The trick is preparation. Painting is actually the easiest part. It's all about the prep. Thanks for the support buddy.
This is actually what I'm struggling to get. I have orange peel and I've sanded the car to repaint it again. Just a few questions. Did you clear coat the car before polish? Should I polish before clear or polish after top coat and clear? Your work is hell amazing!!
Thanks buddy. I used single stage paint on this car hence no clear coat. If you are using base and clear, you will only polish the clear coat. You can lightly sand over base coat, but this is mainly to sort out imperfections before clear. You will however have to give it another light coat of base before clear or else you might see the scratched in the base or the orientation of pigments in the base will show up as blotches etc. I hope that this explanation helps. I learnt a lot from watching CZcams channels such as diy automotive school, paint society and swrnc. Let me know if you are still unclear on anything. PS, do not sand base coat with anything rougher than 800 grit. All the best buddy
Man that looks great! I’m about to try my hand at painting for the first time soon on my tornado red mk4. You give me inspiration. One question: before you started (when the car was matte red) was that just where you sanded the original paint, or was that tinted primer? Thanks
Hi buddy. The car was sanded with 800 grit paper hence the matte finish. Try a test panel first. Get a feel or the gun and the paint flow first. All the best buddy and don't give up. You can email me on builtmk1@yahoo.com if you require more info.
