Also my fathernlaw never wore a mask when he painted and he died at 55 and had a great life being a furniture rep on the side. Had everything In life he never bought anything unless he was buying in bulk. Made $800,000 a year working 4 hours a day and building cars for his collection the rest. Had everything to live for and died from not wearing a mask when he painted. You may know him he is Grumpy from Grumpys garage.

The thing that really jumped out at me was your set-up. I was trying to prop my bumper up on saw horses and it was too low to get all the edges, etc. Why I didn't think of suspending the bumper cover in my garage I don't know, but I will be sure to use that tip. I've watched a few of your videos, and they are always informative ... thank you.

@timiracko6317 7 жыл бұрын

a few suggestions friend... use a tack cloth before and after base coating. you probably had too low of pressure at the gun or the air hose isnt thick enough for the right air volume, because there was too much orange peel in your clear. and watch your technique, a constant robotic like overlap and gun movement is key to a good paint job. and as mentioned in previous post silver is a mofo to get right one of the hardest colors after tri coats, because of the mottle effect you get if its not done right. its even harder since our bodyshop changed to waterbased paints. anyways nice vid man keep it up

I haven't painted in 3 years. This was the first vid popped up cuz I wanted to refresh myself. Some things are OK, he says always use the cup filter, (invest in a filter holder, a wire hoop holds the filter over the cup) wipe/prep the surface, but others whew!... I learned from pros with 30yrs experience, they don't eyeball mixing paint, they use the measured containers every time to the milliliter. The way he was handling the gun, like spot finishing, you have to sweep in big broad confident strokes like Michelangelo. Pull the trigger before you enter the surface and don't let go till you pass it! Plus final tip, he didn't use adhesion promoter, its an extra step but might've helped with the orange peel. I don't use it, I buy cleaner from my local auto body shop supplier and just super scrub the surface but for noobs use the adhesion promoter. BTW some guys I know don't mind painting base coat sloppy (like here) and spend hours smoothing it before the clear coat, then it looks like glass. But I paint the base looking like glass, then hit it with the clear looking like glass too. Depends on how lazy you are, I don't like sanding and smoothing forever. If you don't have a gun, get the big, older made-in-USA Binks in good condition. These deliver paint to surface beautifully.

fernando Martin not true. There are some great DYI videos out there that are great. The person will clearly show that they at least did some research on the proper process to prep and paint. This guy did a terrible job. The finish was horrendous, massive orange peel, there was a sag on the bottom right hand side, he's eye balling clear, his gun set up is way off, he didn't even scuff up the rear bumper, and he's only applying one coat of clear lol.. again, tons of great videos out there but this isn't one of them.

how come you say this is pro?? too much to improve on your technique. your base coat is too thick, add some thinner. 2. use the mixing cup to precisely measure the clear ratio. 3. check your paint overlapping. 4. setting your gun fan and use the correct psi while spraying the clear coat. 5. add some reducer about 10-20% according the manufacture for the better flow and avoid the orange peel. 6. don't touch the surface with your bare hand as it contain oil. even amateur do it far better. hope no one ever follow his style.

If you paint, don't start with black like I did... I'd imagine silver or white would be the easiest for a beginner. If I ever paint a car again I do know some more stuff than I did before. But patience would be the biggest thing I'd have to work on.

@WorldMechanics 7 жыл бұрын

back shows everything. White hides most imperfections. However, If you do base coat clear coat white it is very hard to see while painting. You are right silver is very easy to paint and and it hides imperfections very good.

No thats not how u paint a bumper . I paint bumpers for a living. First of all you need a smaller gun like a sata mini jet with a 1.2 tip unless your doing a big panel. And you never just wipe it down and paint over old paint, IT WILL PEAL! you must take the surface down with a 400 grit sandpaper. And 180 grit for damage, and all damage must be primed a d scratched to a finish with 800 grit. The you reduce your paint and start with light dust coats to ensure adhesion, and you must tack the bumper down between each coat of basecoat with a tack cloth, then you can clear the car, this guy sprays very odly
