Thank you my brother for having been with us again sharing another video, and thank you for bringing our work to your audience, I hope we can do many more this year🤙🤙

Thank you, Brian! The level of detail you are providing is astounding!

Thank you Brian for all the great videos, your knowledge and information gave me the confidence to paint my boat and I am so happy with the results. I took notes after watching your videos, and spent hours prepping and trying to do everything right the first try. Very happy with my results.

South Denver (S. Littleton) has a Sherwin Williams Automotive store that I recommend. Last summer I did my son’s front bumper cover and they helped me a ton bc I told them I was a novice home painter. They gave me a lot of good info (and tbh this channel is solid gold too!) I did the stuff this channel recommends (2 primer, no sealer, 2 base, 2 clear) and the job came out great even with silver metallic. No issues.

I always love that quote at the end about not overthinking, it gives me SO MUCH confidence :)

Hi Brian! I´ve got 2 days of binging on your videos and I can already tell I´m way further ahead then I was 2 days ago. I´ve got a car sales here in Spain, repair garages and lately a massive car body paint that I've set up. I´m having troubles building the team and I must learn how to diy for just in case. Next week I'm having my private painting course with the company I'm buying my materials from and I wanted to get ahead of the information thus your videos, your manner of explaining different details has helped me a lot. So I'm sending you a massive thank you!!! It means a lot to meet awesome teachers and professionals worldwide and make the world a better place through our collective work and passion for doing a brilliant job. I appreciate it!! I know it takes time and effort to build these videos too, apart from your daily tasks so yes, I'm grateful and it really means a lot!!

i always watch your videos but of all the other vids i learnt the most in this one. i love how u explained the fountions of sealer vs primer

Im teaching a Spanish guy . He is awesome. I've been teaching him about a month. I'm going to let him see your videos. It will help him when I can't. Awsome videos.

Great video as usual - thanks for the time and effort, always learn so much.

Thank you my Friend 20psi on the clear worked beautiful laid down flat and the base at 21psi worked as well Blessings always and thank you for the information and inspiration

Excellent video! That paint turned out great. I can't thank you enough for all of the tutorials. While some may see the same process over and over, each video you have a little different spin on the process with different tips and techniques.

This is a very helpful posting. Especially the list of product resources. Thank you.

Brian, thank you so much . I really love to paint cars and aircraft but your information has helped me so much.

I just got the job at bmw thank you for all that you do

The video we have all been waiting for

Thank you Brian for the OUTSTANDING video! Phillip Hall

I am absolutely hooked on your videos. I love the channel and an added bonus since I speak Spanish, Scorpion Paint’s channel is another favorite of mine.

Wow. Last week was lookomg for a video like this... wondered how much paint i needed

Awesome video! Straight to the point. I always binge watch before doing paint projects because it’s been so long since I been to a class for it 😂

Thanks Brian 😊 Very informative!

Thanks for the videos!!! Couple of questions. I'm painting my 66 Mustang in my garage. I'm trying to decide what brand paint to use. Not going for a concours look...just something that will look going at local shows. I have researched Omni, Limco, and Nason. I will be doing 2 stage. I'm leaning towards Nason but would love to hear what you think of these brands. I'll be using an LVLP gun if that makes a difference. The base will be sprayed over an Eastwood 2K urethane primer.

Nice instruction! Some O'reilly's mix Nason and some NAPA does Martin Senour/Crossfire/Finish1, which all are Sherwin Williams branded, if I'm not mistaken. I think that largely has to do with what the body shop/paint distributor ratio in your area is as to whether they mix paint or not.

Thanks for all the great info! I will try to paint my 93 toyota supra!

Love this!!! Going to test out your theory but adding 2 oz with using my Iwata guns

Love the videos learnt loads and appreciate the time you take to do them but still confused with primers for plastic fairings. I have fixed them, filled them and sanded upto 360 grit ready for primer. After using an adhesion promoter which primer? Acyclic, epoxy, sealer? Will be painted in 1k white pearl. Any help would be appreciated 👍👍👍👍

awesome job with great tips

I remember you used the term orientation coat to describe last coat of base to ensure coverage lol I know it has many different terms control coat 1/2 coat drop coat also. It could be considered for beginners

My contry Latvia dont have sealer. We only have wet on wet primers. Regular primer but need use more thiner 20-25%

Fantastic job!

Nice job guys

Hello! Are the amounts for primer and base the number of ounces per panel per coat, or for all coats? Im preparing to paint a little Scion IQ and dont want to grossly overbuy the paint 🤣. Thank you! And thanks for the awesome videos!

Love the double gunning!!!

So, much to learn!

Great informative video. 👍

Great video I just wondered what happens in those door gaps.? How does the base cover the sealer primer ?

I'm so grateful for you info me on how to know right quality of material in painting work thanks very much brain but I have questions what do you mean by sealer coat please let me understand

Big fan of the channel! If i buy a primed bumper online do i still need to prime? Or am i good to start painting? Its just a project car

Great videos, keep it up. How hard is it to change the cars color?

Awesome job

Thanks your channel rocks ! I painted my 1st set of wheels for a $ considering I'm unemployed

Awesome 👍

Newbie question but does the color of the primer/sealer make any difference for paint?

Hi Brian, what tip size & pressure do you recommend for the sealer?

What kind of matte clear do you recommend? Im in california thanks love your videos

Great video. What type of compressor do you recommend? My budget is like 200 -300 dollars.

Good stuff.

That's what I do. I take my vehicle apart to. Hate getting paint on my Chrome are rubbers.

My paint supplier has a primer sealer I have used. Question would I be better of to use a separate primer and sealer.

Just in time!

LOVE YOU, SIR.

Thanks!

Great video. But I am getting ready to buy a 35 Ford Truck from Factory Five Racing. The kit has 17 panels all in fiberglass. Cab, 2 doors, 3 hood pieces, radiator cover, 4 fat fenders , 2 running boards, 4 bed panels. Most of the panels will need to be painted both sides. I guess I will start with a primer after I finish the body work. Then use that as a idea as to how much paint I will need. Right now I am thinking I will need 3 gallons of primer, 2 gallons sealer, 3 gallons base and 4 gallons of clear. Will be using PPG Paints, because they have a store 15 minutes from my home. Thank you Ron USCG RET

Brian, I saw one of the guys using a 3M gun. Seems like a great one gun do all gun? I know I’ve seen you using it in the past. You didn’t list it as a gun in this description though. The DV1 is out of my price range and ability. Looking for a good gun to start and grow with. Thoughts?

Great video

While my car was getting painted the painter showed me around and his bottles which were two. They both cost 450$. The pain was the variant of a rxs type s with pearls. The rxs type s only has one variant so it was easy to find it but it was pricey. His paint was chromax

Would you mind posting a short video about how much reducer to use when thinning paint? A lot of us amateur backyard Painter’s struggle with this

Thank you very much for the great information! God bless

Hey Brian, great video as always! I just have one question: do these measurements that you gave include the whole mix ratio, such as 7 ounces of Clear + Hardener + Reducer?

In and out on the car pic above 1970 nova 1 gal at 4:1 enough? WHat about clear same? using LS ansd WS iwata`s. 1st gen solvent based.

Great video🔥🔥 What is the paint code that's you used?

Good job

I have a 2006 cad dts that hood needs painted after car cover put stains all over it,,rest of car is fine,,car is black,,what is best/easist paint to buy online that i can repaint hood,,,i have all equip just havent painted cars in 25 years,,many new paint options out there now

If ur clear comes out good to you still have to cut & buff ??

This off topic, I watched your channel all the time. I painted couple of bumpers with white color. Why do the white turn out creme white? Some angle look white

Great video, with the Devilbiss DV1 basecoat gun which tip size would you recommend 1.2 or 1.3?

Thanks for the info. Would you recommend using sealer before single stage paint?

What brand of sealer was used color build? PPG Axalta Thanks

Is half a gallon paint and half reducer (1 gallon of paint) enough for a small 67 corvette convertible? Second time spraying .. boss says is enough

Great subject if you can do a in dept and detail video of cut and buffing please , and matching factory orange peel Thanks

How much paint and would be needed to paint a crew cab long bed duality truck ? I have an 2005 dodge with bad clear so I want to repaint the entire truck. A local shop quoted me $8500.

I'm going to be painting a vehicle about the same size as is in the video. It would have been nice if you would have stated the total volume used for paint and clear coat for this job.

Great Video. One question, if you have windows removed and there is a bit of windshield urethane adhesive left (most removed with a razor), is it ok to paint over it?

Will you do a video with a two tone paint job? If I lay the first color, on the cab and middle section of the truck, do I put one coat clear, then tape up for the next color? Or just paint, flash, then tape?

This might sound like a stupid question but, are you quoting ounces already fully mixed with any reducers. etc? I just want to understand if you are talking about RTS or just the paint w/o reducers, etc.

Much appreciated, however can you also give us metric measurements for us non usa viewers ?

What your take on a primer that can be used as a sealer ?

Sealer (or what we call 'wet on wet' here) is great as you CAN just go to a 600g, rather than 800g min for basecoat. Also, wishy washy covering of sealer is much less of a problem getting coverage than over patchy primer areas. By the way, love the double booth, how much easier is it to paint a car and whole lot of panels / bars in that ? 👍

Does anyone know how to best match paint or where to get it ? I need paint for a 2020 Lincoln Navigator code GS ceramic pearl. This is for a repair job quarter panel, fender and both bumpers.

Am from Ghana master great job 👌👌

Would love to here the PROS and CONS of the different PPS out there

what PSI were these guys shooting the clear coat at because crazy mist in the entire booth looks like they shot at a higher PSI versus the base coats. I try to shoot at a lower PSI to eliminate me from getting my full 3M mask cloudy then when I can not see it makes completing the job hard.

Can any color sealer work for any color

Maybe i missed this but are you spraying 1k or 2k sealer?

Is a gallon good enough for a whole car?

Was it just sealer over the e coat in the video

Hello paint society I ran into a problem with gold metallic paint a bug landed and I didn’t help none trying to pick it out caused a bare spot to white background. Do I tape area and sand to white then mask vehicle and just fan some layers until I get the right shade or ? It’s a 2 tone white gold 99 Silverado. Thanks

What do you think about using elastificator additive when painting plastic bumpers to make the paint more flexible? Do you use it, or ever did?

I have a 2005 Honda civic how many cans should I buy ?

How many oz of primer would you estimate per panel? I want to do a full paint job including door jams on my 97 4runner. It's currently silver and I want to change it to the autumn green (color code TAP) that the newer subaru outbacks have. I assumed that I would need to sand down each panel and give it primer, color, and clear. Is that the best approach? And how for should I sand the panels down, do I want to get to bare metal or just cut through the existing clear? Thank you in advance if you take the time to reply.

How much paint i need to paint a 97 f body convertible...im ordering from "the coating store"...they have kits and i dont know how much i need

Does all paint stores carry tintable primers

Hey Brian, when you say 5-6 ounces per panel, do you mean non reduced base coat or 5-6 ounces plus reducer? Thank you!

I'm in a garage and been sanding dupli color primer sealer with P600 before base. Should I stop doing that?

Great info, Brian. Was the 5-6 oz of base per panel for each coat, or would that amount do the 2 -1/2 coats you mentioned? Thanks for all you do.

I am about to retire from full time office work (lawyer) and then get a start on my projects - Pantera, Mustang, Camaro and F100. I am a self taught painter and can lay paint finish like a professional - but not as speedy as these guys that do it everyday with their talent (HA - but color matching - I can get a black and white - HA = zero skill at color matching) and always enjoy the little tricks you show in your videos. I am always one for technique (and forgetting the time that the "flick of the wrist" is required) -and it is not in this video - but I have watched professional painters lay paint down with the gun at angles all over the place on a bonnet or roof etc - not for a "flick of the wrist' reason, but poor wrist technique. Keeping your wrist nice and flexible so the fan is as close to the 'perfect' right angle and vertical to the surface ensures a more even coverage. Yes - panels are all different shape and there is often a compromise - but thinking about the best wrist angle and painting like a robot can help. I once saw a painter that used to paint the entire side of the car in one long sweep - he would walk along the entire length back and forth, not doing individual panels. It seemed to work for him, he obviously had his paint viscosity, speed etc down pat. And his wrist/gun technique was always 'perfect'. I am always a fan of just denibbing the final coat and polishing (HA - something I leave to others - I HATE polishing) and leaving a tiny amount of orange peel off the gun. Yes - carshow paint jobs will require flattening out with 3000 grit before polishing - but and everyday job looks so much more 'everyday friendly'. The slight orange peel can also help to break the reflection and disguise 'things' - HA - if that makes sense. Sort of like a 'used' black paint job compared to a 'used' metallic black - the varying reflections from the metallic black fool the eye into hiding the scratches that appear in a paint job from washing etc. Like when painting a black section on a bonnet, I used a MB metallic black, seems to get away with disguising those car wash haze.scratch that will appear one day, whereas straight black - HA - shows everything all the time - yes - I have had several straight black cars and bikes, they always look NEATO when new, but after a few years, they tend to look 'sad'. Thank you - I always enjoy your lessons. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.

So just need one coat of sealer for a front bumper cover ?

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼🎉😎 Los Tress Chingones 👌🏼Órale

Do you / can you/ should you clear a single stage paint?

Great job. Question: On a job that large, why don't spray the roof as well?

In determining the quantity of paint needed and you said 5-6 oz per panel for 2-3 coats. Are the oz including thinner/reducer???
