Oh man I've learned so much and it shows in the work! Thank you a million times ! I've got that fiberglass kit car I'm doing that's really warped up. Anyway, I did a "semi sorta final prime" on the left side I was getting the body lines corrected. It's where the rear cab window wraps around to the door ,and the joint where the fender tops meet. It came out so good ,I've got to go back to the other side because I did that before watching your vids and I can see it's not as good. I'm doing a few sections like this while it is half built ,as the areas are gonna be difficult when it's assembled. The right side is assembled, and I gotta go back now but I should be able to persevere and win. I'm just trying to get it straight enough, prime it and assemble the car so I can drive it this summer. Looking at all the bodywork it'll need ,if might be 2 seasons before I get into that. It's taken me 3yrs to build this thing, and for now I'm ok it's not getting painted.

If your taking an Old 1950 truck down to metal and your plans are just to use Epoxy primer on it what other steps are necessary. They say epoxy gets gummed up with to much finish sanding

@LakesideAutobody Жыл бұрын

You can't sand epoxy primer so the next step would be to prime with regular urethane primer surfacer or just use DTM (direct to metal) urethane primer surfacer if you are working on it inside. There's really no need for epoxy primer if kept inside while working on it. If you leave it outside for months after priming then yes, hit it with some epoxy.

I absolutely recommend 3M Automotive Refinish Masking Tape. This is an area you can't skimp on. Any good quality automotive grade (green) masking paper will work fine for you - I use Autobody Master but just because it's available locally. There are a lot of companies that sell it online too like autobodytoolmart.com and tptools.com and others. The paper brand really doesn't matter as long as it is made for autobody repair. Hope that helps :)

@mrsemifixit Жыл бұрын

How do you know when to switch to a higher sand paper each time? Do you sand until the surface feels even with every grit?

@LakesideAutobody Жыл бұрын

You always want to prime over 80 or smoother (filler work) so... you'll want to leave your filler a little "full" to give you a bit of filler to sand with that 80. IOW just before you get the filler "perfect" with 40 grit, switch to 80 so that you don't take too much off. As for DA paper it's common to use 120 for feather edging then move to finer grit for the surrounding areas just so you don't get primer on shiny paint as it will flake right off. You can even use a scuff pad to achieve the same goal.

The spray bomb sits in the low spots when you block sand - see this video at 2 minutes and 12 seconds in - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9p1rbKInbHSqqc.html You don't need to use sealer primer surfacer is enough. Sealer helps hide some minor imperfections, gets the panel or car all one color, and seals any weird paint, primer, body work materials away from the fresh paint that may cause a reaction.

May I ask why you didn't use an epoxy primer or possibly a etching primer? I'm VERY new at this and from everything I'm reading, I should be using epoxy primer to lock everything down before continuing. Is that wrong?

@LakesideAutobody Жыл бұрын

It's not really wrong... It's just what TV, magazines, Eastwood, and blogs say but it doesn't happen in most production body shops. Again, It's not wrong, just not necessary. Here's a bit of background knowledge. For most of the 20th century lacquer primer was it - that's all there was. It worked fine - great actually - don't listen to the negative stuff about it. Then came epoxy primer and urethane primer - both great too. There's also polyester primer surfacer (sort of a spray on bondo) which came out around the 80s. Here's the basic rule and I will be doing a video on this soon. You can use any of them and they all work great but each has a specific use. Epoxy is a non sanding water proof (so they say) primer that's great if you just want to prime and paint although you can prime and paint with all primers. Lacquer primer (1K) and urethane primer (2K) are your every day primer surfacers that build thickness so you can block sand or sand out imperfections. Either one can be stand alone primers for you (all you need). Finally polyester primer is for "cheating" - it's super thick or IOW you can spray it thick like a thin layer of Bondo to bury poor body work, deep scratches, chips etc and they wont show up in the final paint work. That's just a quick run down. Ask more questions if needed - Jerry

@fretsman68 Жыл бұрын

@@LakesideAutobody Thank you for taking the time for your excellent explanation. So in my case, where it will be a while before I can get to all bodywork and paint, it's probably best to get the stripped body panels in an epoxy primer as that seems the most "durable" to give me time?

It really depends on the size of the project. If you are doing a whole car then you'll need a compressor rated at around 5.4 scfm at 90 psi & 6.4 scfm at 40 - somewhere right in there. If one panel - you can use a pancake compressor :)

What degreaser do I buy?

I thought we supposed to use primer on metal before the filler I’m so confused

@@roxyqueen5076 You can use any brand of wax and grease remover. As for filler: Filler has been put over clean sanded/grinded metal for over 50 years - it was made to be put over metal - so you're safe doing so. However, magazines, tv and internet is flooded with stories of having to put it over epoxy primer for many silly reasons. That being said, I did a video proving both methods work fine so it's your choice but I would not waste money and just put it over bare metal - the way it was intended to be used. Here's the video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbyYhK-itaerhok.html

Ok let me understand this, 1st you wipe down with wax/grease remover , while wearing gloves! Then you sand , bondo sand using multiple grits, then prime substrate without cleaning area ? Then go-coat ,again with out cleaning work area , and rubbing with bare hands(oily hands) then sand, blow off area (not wash/wipe with oils/grease remover or tack rag the go to primer and paint????? What happen to preparation is the up most important task of a great paint job? Seems we back to ole school shade tree work??? Am I missing something here???????

You're missing something but it's really small. The gloves are only because I don't want to absorb wax and grease remover (chemicals) through my skin - safety. You really only need to wipe it down with wax and grease remover once - at the beginning to remove road grime, grease, dirt, wax, etc. Don't ever let these guys tell you that you can't touch the panel with your hands. Yes your hands have to be clean and you can't eat fried chicken while working but after your hands are clean - yo'u're good to go. Your hands will be dry from doing body work - mine are dry as a bone all the time - you'll never get fish eyes from you hands unless your doing something unbodyworkish - new word I guess. You can absolutely keep cleaning it if you feel you need to but I only showed the necessary steps to get a quality job - didn't want to be confusing or redundant - hope that makes sense :)

No clear coat

That is single stage enamel paint. In the old days there was no BC/CC just single stage - sort of like a spray bomb paint but with an activator or hardener :)

you left out a ton of detail.

Probably but just wanted to get the main idea across. You know... like grind, fill, DA sand, prime, block, prime again, finish sand, paint. Once you have that you're on your way :)
