I did 40+ years in the collision repair/refinishing business. I retired from teaching it at a public technical school. My food for thought: good technique Steven, if you want a long healthy life, get a fresh air system. Especially when illegally spraying with little or no ventilation, no arrestor, and venting illegally into the atmosphere. It's nice to see the use of a self etching primer, a step many skip. One other thing, I would have used Nason clear over the Nason basecoat. When you mix product lines it usually ends with paint failure later on, as I've seen on many occasions. Nason clear is very reasonably priced.

Valid point. I know the videos are aimed at the enthusiast crowd and not the pros, but you are doing a disservice showing a guy in a cloud of isocyanates with just a half face respirator and a chemical (?) cartridge. Some of the problems from isocyanates are immediate...and some hit you years later. Want to be around for your kids and grandkids? Get a fresh air system as mentioned. Wet edges...

Used to paint plugs and molds for large yachts You are 100% correct Steve knows what he's doing - Only modification I would have made is I found it easier to control the hose by putting it over my shoulder then holding it by my side. Also love the fact you pointed out the footwork - it's as important as the flick for an even coat.

@Tiberius_I 2 жыл бұрын

This is a good video, very satisfying to see that paint going on! One tip to newby car painters: the PSI specified for the paint is as measured AT THE GUN, not at the compressor! In other words you have to compensate for the length of the hose you are using, (because the pressure drops more the longer the hose is)..and add pressure based on that. Like if they say "30 PSI" you might need to have a reading of 40 at the compressor to spray at the specified pressure.. You need a chart to tell how much to compensate.

@iSleepDoc 2 жыл бұрын

Great tip.. thanks 🙏

@12x2richter Жыл бұрын

Another reason to regulate the pressure at the gun, not at the compressor, there's a lot more volume at 90 psi than at 30psi. Even if you compensate way back at the compressor side to get 30 psi at the gun, if something happens that pressure could dip below 30psi in places, especially if you're not using a 60 gallon professional system like this and trying to make a 20 or 30 gallon oil-free 1.5 hp compressor work. If you've got 60 or 90 psi up to the gun and regulate the pressure THERE, then you should never have problems with low pressure at the gun tip.

I attended from 1988 to 1993 when a friend from Lincoln invited us up to the inaugural Nebraska Star Party in 1994. One of our now departed club members is in this film - the guy in the green T-shirt talking to another fellow in a minivan. In the six years I attended, I saw blistering heat, days upon days of clouds and thunderstorms, and, of course, some of the best nighttime skies I had ever seen! Long live the Texas Star Party!

Very well done I liked the narrative pointing out the Dos and Donts I have only sprayed one car myself and for that one I used a Turbine HVLP spray rig I actually purchased for my Woodworking finishes I did use a two stage Dupont Automotive paint in which it was recommended that a used a colored sealer from Dupont because the car was a British car and they used a pretty soft paint from the factory I knew that because I had the car for more than 14 years and with routine washing a waxing I could see grey Primer in some areas the job came out nice surprisingly no runs, drips or orange peel or any missed spots ! bTW I did the original factory color as I did not have the time to pull the engine and prep the compartment I was quite happy with my results and all the tasks my Campbell Hausefeild Spray rig could tackle for my woodworking I often used Oilbased primers and paints as well as spraying Conversion Varnish over staingrade Exotic Woods

Im a begginer in this job and at this moment im working in a forklift company. Im the painter of this company and i learned a lot and gained some experience. But the best finishing sand paper we have is 320 to sand the primer. It is fine and i can do very good jobs here. But the painting is with direct clear coat in the paint. We dont use base coat then clear coat. I want to learn more about that and this channel is being so useful for me. Its just sad that i dont have any conditions or tools to do something in my house.

Love your tip about spraying scared/overthinking it. Two of the best paint jobs I ever laid down were areas where I was like "I just need to get some paint on there, it doesn't need to be good." One was the engine bay of my wife's car, the old paint was just not great, and I had the engine out, so I was like "I'm just going to throw down some base coat and clear, hardly anyone will see it." It ended up going on so nice there was zero orange peel and no finishing needed, because I just sprayed like I didn't care. It ended up winning a $1000 prize for best engine bay at a car show, with just a Scotchbrite prep and some extra bc/cc I had lying around.

A lot of times by the time you give up and paint a car they look pretty bad to start with. Back when I was in the RX7 club there was a famous video going around where someone painted their car with a roller instead of a paint gun . . . and it wasn't bad! It wasn't GOOD, but it was so much better than what it was, and after all the sanding, it looked better than a lot of cars on the road.

I plan on putting quality HVAC filters on one end as an intake, and exhaust fan on the other end to pull air out. I hope this will prevent dust from getting in my paint. Likely will wet floor as well.

Just a note as you get started, you're going to be paying a LOT more attention to your paint job than anyone else will. Even if you have a mistake here or there, a little sag or hose drag along the rocker or end up with a bug in the clear or something, odds are good after finishing it out that you'll be the only one who notices, and it's still going to look a hundred times better than it did before you painted and you'll know better next time. Showing off one of my first paint jobs to my uncle I pointed out a couple of mistakes I had made, he said 'Sometimes the only difference between an amateur and a pro is a pro knows when to keep their mouth shut.' I consider a little flaw here or there an acceptable trade for not having to rent or set up a paint booth and deal with all the logistics of getting a taped and prepped car over there, etc. For a beautiful driver, it's going to be fine... if you're trying to take something to SEMA or Pebble Beach, hire someone.
