This was a quick inexpensive single stage paint job using limco single stage paint. For a new teenage driver. 3 coats were applied along with a sealer to cover the feather edges and minor body repairs

I painted a 71 boat tail Riverside back in 1996 and here in May 2024 the vehicle still looks as good as the day I painted it using single stage paint it was a PPG brand paint name bamboo yellow and I mixed in a half gallon of clear into it I try to stay away from single stage metallic you can never buff that paint out no matter how hard you try but for a over all paint job one needs massive air flow

This came out really good for single stage. Do you have to apply sealer for single stage?

@recklessgarage 8 күн бұрын

It’s not necessary but if there is a lot of body work bondo/glaze etc it is definitely a good idea to help with coverage and soak back /shrinkage in the paint finish

@@recklessgarage okay thanks for your reply. I just bought a new rear metal bumper for my truck and i scuffed it with grey 3m pad and did one coat of sealer and 3 coats of single stage. Came out pretty good

How much do you charge for a job like this?

Really just depends on the amount of body work and prep needed color etc no set price

We used to paint cars like that all the time, hand sanded wit a block, taped up real good, they look good ,

@brianb5905 Ай бұрын

Yeah, no. Sealing over cut through areas will never last. Oh, it’ll look sharp for a few months and then everything will shrink up. Spend the time and prime it, sand, then seal and paint.

@recklessgarage Ай бұрын

Thats why we sealed it with a primer sealer and actually it will look sharp for awhile I did a Chevy truck 5 yrs ago still gets compliments 🤷🏽‍♂️. But I’ve only been doing it 20yrs what do I know 🤦🏽‍♂️

@@recklessgarage pretty much. Economy sucks . Only time I laugh is when someone expect a full respray for less than 1000$ . It simply is not possible if someone else is doing the labor . Even Macco is charging 1100-1800 for a basic 1 coat single stage job now in my area

I just love these people who claim you can d.i.y without the advantage of a professional spray booth . I hope you've explained the perils of using isocyanates without breathing masks and the specialist airline filters required to feed "safe" air to the mask. And then there's the small matter of the skills needed to repair a vehicle up to paint work standards . However , l've only had 54 years experience with many winning international acclaim ......what do l know !

@recklessgarage Ай бұрын

Never said you should not wear proper protective gear ie mask respirator pappar and if done at home yes def videos out there to show how to filter out the overspray etc if you aren’t using a actual paint booth but it can be done at home. I also have about 20 yrs experience in this line of work and was just trying to help the diy community. Sorry you are so upset congrats on your show winning cars. I also have show winners and they were in no way done as diy This was for the people trying to save a buck not spend 10k plus on paint job
