I really enjoy your videos, they are of very high quality, congratulations on your dedication.

We used Spies Hi Tec 480 water what we did was do a drop coat at a further distance at a little bit of lower pressure while the base was still wet .Worked all the time especially on silvers

Great job kandy. Very helpful information this u9k was a problem child for me in the beginning but now I have no complaints.

I use a similar technique to you and when I was a apprentice 20 years ago here in nz ppg dominates the paint industry . We got taught this thru all our training . Two medium cover coats and when it starts evaporating do a couple dry technique coats to eliminate the mottle . Those colours always tend to mottle . I’m a self employed refinisher and have employed many painters and yes everybody paints differently . Love your Chanel and keep up the good content

I just went through this last week with a Gunmetal gray metallic I can't remember if I was using a 1.4 or 1.5. I had not seen this video until now and relieved to see I did the right thing; which was remain calm and back off on the wetness and give more flash time.

You know you make good content when people who know what they are doing and have all these things worked out still watch your videos. Great job, man!

Great tutorial on the mottling this video helps by the way I always thought that it's silver you have to wach out for more thank you for the tips kandy man take good care

Thanks brother your a life saver

Love your content bro, keep doing your thing 🚙👍🏽😊. God bless you 🙏🏽

Great tips , I like the way you point out this is what works for me , and you may have a different way . So true , many techniques , some work and some work better . Temperature, humidity, air pressure, so many factors . What works in Texas may not work in your area . 9:13

Good information .....I've never shot any water base paint......yet. Nice work as usual !

Did my first spray and encountered lots of problems. First I’m in south Florida, 😅About 4 hours south of you. As I was spraying, water was dripping out my Tyvek suit. Because I was going forward I didn’t see it until I hit the middle and I started to switch sides. Wrapped my wrists with paper towels and it was solved but I got some minor damage. On the 3rd coat of base the gun stopped spraying paint. There was paint in the gun but it’s not coming out. I stopped at 2 coats and cleaned out the gun. I noticed the vent was blocked, duh. I didn’t have anymore paint since I only bought a quart. It could of used 1 more coat of base but I already dumped it, another mistake. Should of poured it back in the empty can. The clear went on fine but I stopped at 2 coats. I should of finished the quart so I could safely sand away the minor orange peel. Even with sanding and guide coat I still missed some low spots that now look huge. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLhdlpRonNzUZIU.html

Looks good. I drop everything .

Man since I switched over to Sherwin Williams refinish I've had the best experience with metalics.

Great experience 💯💯💯💯

man, thank you ill try this on monday. I painted two cars this week, metallic greys and theres a bunch of cloudy spots. Just stressed out so muchhh. i hope theyre not redos

The best way I found by far is 2 to 3 light dust coats at low PSI and then the third final coat I lay moderately wet over all of that... and 50% of the time it comes out perfect every time.

Since some jobs I spray are single stage metallics with an integrated clear, I will sometimes get blotchyness on a panel even after cross coating the crap out of it to get some gloss after the last coat. This tip will definitely help when I do another one!!

Hi bro only shoot solvent in my shop but advice is spot on for all out here 😄😄😄

Its a rough stressful job at times I've been doing the 20 yrs .myself in Detroit Michigan Harper an Chalmers.

Quality 👊

I don't know if you will agree but in solvent paints especially metallic I had that problem and would always have to do a control coat after just doing different things I started backing my fan pattern back a little and eliminated that and having to do a control coat

I remember back in the early days of water-based automotive paints... when Auto-X and everyone else were advertizing how much better they lay out. Nothing has changed... it's still a hassle. On the flip side, tiger stripes in metallics are far less of a problem with water-based paints. Not sure how it helps.

I use high purity rubbing alcohol with ppg envirobase paint works amazing

With the problem colors like grey I always spray one thin layer and then another wet layer with a lot overlapping . No any mottling . And quick as well

Some say to keep pressure down at 15psi, some say to blast it with a 35psi super wide low paint mist, some say it doesnt matter its the gun your using, some say its because of the temps and humidity and some say its just because your psinting with too heavy of coats.. heard is brcause of dry times between coats.. even heard its because your primer is the incorrect typehuu

Crazy how sides really don't really mottle,but hoods,roofs,or trunks ,oh boy.😱😱😱

Thank you! I have to spray in driveway.. can you take a look at my new color on my last video and give me any tips? I sprayed their bright green metalic before without tiger stripes or mottling but this color is darker much darker.. thanks!

Good video.. Thank you. I have a question maybe you can answer for me. Not just in your videos but others too, I have noticed that when spraying clear coat, there seems to be a lot more overspray. Is it just because its clear, that you can see the pattern better than with base, or is it that there is more overspray with clear. I have never shot clear, so i don't know ... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again for the great video...

I shoot my metallics with a 400 lph.. its a slow gun for me but i do 5 coats and 4th coat i go opposite direction on panles. Ive got complimants from long time painters. Its all about the gun

Im shortly going to be respraying a new front bumper and both side front fenders, for my car... Ive sprayed things like BMX frames and alloy wheels in the past, But now i want to make sure i spray my car parts perfectly... My car is a Dark blue metallic.. (Z168 / 4XU Metro Blue to be exact)... I have mainly used ebay cheapy HVLP guns in the past, But bought myself a Devilbiss DV1 with a DV1 B+ aircap, to give me every best chance of a perfect job... Any tips on how to spray it to look perfect?! I usually spray at around 29psi at around 6-7 inches from panel, for non-metallics... What would you recommend for my metallic paint bumper / fender job? Same, more or less pressure than for solid colours? same distance to panel?!?! further? closer? 2k paint... if thats any help.. I am also using SLOW reducer... I absolutely need for this to turn out nice.... It sounds silly, But its a pride, sort of thing... I am getting laughed at by family, for attempting it myself, instead of paying a professional to just do it... I get peer pressured ALOT. etc.. Its just the way my family is.... They like to put me down for everything i do wrong, but i like to learn new things So i absolutely need this to turn out good.. Thankyou

Hi kandy man i painted a car 🚗 bonnet or hood in the us 🇺🇸 i was using solvent paint i put it on and next thing it was full of streaks and mottling i was really annoyed i message your mate Brian of paint society he said mite off been the wrong reducer there sold me MIPA fast reducer should havd slow

Do you have a video like this with solvent paints? Thanks!

Why the 3m performance gun? I use it for sealer and high fills only. Not base or clear

Hi, sorry for comment an old video. Just thought when you spraying the 2nd coat light, are you dialling in the fluid to how many turns in? Or you always spray it on full fluid with only low pressure.

Another great job! Why are using 3M gun for the base instead of other high end guns you have? Is it better that DV1 base or IWATA? Or is your only solid colors gun? Thank you.

Mottling right now and wanted to know how could if fix mottling on this matellic silver

Do you like the 1.2 tip for these metallic greys/charcoals or do you change tips based on humidity?

Do you prefer solvent over water??

Is it not called a drop coat?

What can I do when my silver is not a sparkly as the factory. I do have a good match but my paint seems too lay too flat compared to the factory
