For those of you wondering why I have that suv parked so close, that suv was a rust bucket and was getting sent to the junk yard 🤣

Black is the hardest colour to paint, it shows every imperfection! Your job looks good besides showing the old clear lines but it's a big job to hide all of that. You did a great job and I loved the video.

Sand further, fill with bondo, sand smooth would have fixed your lines showing through. Couple more coats of primer would have helped also. Otherwise, pretty good job. You're one of the few I see who wet sanded after the clear to remove the orange peel. Nice work overall.

Excellent Job!!!

Very thorough.

Thank you great idea about to paint the hood of car too!

Looks solid

Good job 👍

you did an AMAZING JOB....

Great job

great job

Sweet!

Just started doing this and I managed to get the peeling clear coat lines to blend in with the rest of the good paint . I kept running my fingers over the lines to see if I could feel it or not. Everything go well so far.

Awesome video and very detailed thank you so much truck driver from Southern California

Awesome job. ❤

Looks Great. 😊

Great video.. direct and you made it really clear..-

You could’ve sprayed more primer where it was uneven but it’s still a good job and only visible when really close and sun hits it .

This is perfect. What videos did you watch for research? Thank you!

You did a good job. Sand a lot before primer then use a primer / surfacer high build and apply 3 coats and finish with 800 grit. That should fill in the clear coat marks

Good job all things considered. I have to do this to my hood also and saw what pattern you used. What cons would you take from your experience? I was told to let the paint cure for 3 weeks at least before washing and waxing/ polishing it

Bro!!! That looks awesome man! I’ve got to do the hood on my fJ cruiser. I’m going to do exactly how you did thanks for instruction. Doesn’t have to be perfect but for the money you save well worth it. Great job!

Very well done, buy you've got to use a respirator, especially with the 2k stuff

Working on my f150 front bumper grill and Hood. And the roof that's bad. First time doing it. What I see that you've done is just as good as I do probably better than me. You did a good job. If do you ever do it again. Take more time on each step. I bet you'll do even better. As is great job.

That helped

NICE JOB FOR FIRST TIME... WAY TO GET IN THERE AND DO IT YOURSELF...

Hi thanks a lot for the video. You did a great job! Can you please share the links of the items you purchased ? thanks in advance.

My hood looks awful..I think I'm going to try this! Looks good

When you buffed it, what compound did you use? And did you apply it with a foam pad?

Very good vid! How long did you wait between applying coats?

Great job man. I hope i can do as good. How many cans of paint and clear did you end up using?

Hey how much did all the supplies cost u? Even if it's a ballpark number. N good shit I need to do the same on mine or seeing if I can find a decent hood at a junkyard.

Wow! he spayed that clear coat next to his other car..

What grit did you use to sand after the 1st coat of primer?

is the buffering compulsory or optional

hey man i hope you respond just wondering if you have link of product that you got on amazon thanks!

I have 2014 mazda 3 black and scratched my side panel and door with a dent. I need to pull and fix the dent first and then use filling and spray paint. Lets see how it goes. Any advice?

I had my doubts. But... looks pretty darn good!! Next time... move the part elsewhere... or move the cars away!!

My wife is a car enthusiast and taking courses in learning the English language. She told me about your video: ''How to paint a car at home using Rattle Snake''. I TOLD HER THAT I WOULD NEVER USE YOU TO PAINT MY CAR. My face looked painted BLACK AND BLUE the next day.🤣😂😂

Went to three places and they all want about 1500 bucks for this. Looks like I’m doing it myself!!!!

Hi Brian, I need to do my Honda CRV hood. Is there anything you would have done differently? Would you invest in a gun and quart of paint instead? Was this cost effective? Thank you for your honest video and any suggestions!!

I thought you had to put the clear over slightly wet base coat to give the clear something to grab onto. One other video showed a 10 minute window between coats. ?

rep prep prep, it's all about the prep. I think that you know that you didn't sand the original paint well enough. Unfortunately, it's next to impossible to tell on video how close you are to having sanded it all out, but it could prove an interesting experiment to try to "fix" this as opposed to redoing it. The traditional answer is to sand it down to get it even, prime anyplace you sanded through, and then base and clear. OK. I'd be tempted to try to fix it instead, especially if the hood is otherwise flat: instead of sanding it down completely, start with 1000grit (I might consider 600 or 800, but being inexperienced I'd tell you to start with 1000, it will go slower but you'll be less likely to mess it up), and try to see if you can even it out without sanding into the basecoat. Even possibly giving it a heavier coat of clear over and around the uneven areas first. If you can manage to even it out or get it really close without significantly sanding into the base then you could go over what you have left with just clear, kind of like doing a flow coat, and then buff and finish. As far as your overall technique goes- you don't have to go as light for the first layer, that's mostly to prevent runs and chemical reactions in difficult situations, which a hood laying flat is not. Going that light might result in a sandy surface on your later coats, just more work to smooth out. Second, especially for the base and clear, keep your spray pattern going front to back to front, with the length of the car. That is less likely to cause any mottling/zebra stripes that you'll notice when you're done (your eyes won't be as likely to notice it if it's there it goes with the length of the car).

Looked at plate stuck in engine bay says my car is grey. Haha. Only problem. It's black.

That paint job is going to start peeling from the window wash sprayers first.......should of taken them off.

Why would you park your cars so close to the spray mist?

a high build 2k primer will hide a lot. Tip for next time.

No worry about overspraying those other cars?

Dude good job, but never paint like that 1. In direct sun and 2. Around other peoples cars.

You will have problems with adhesion and longevity waiting that long between base and clear coat. Best to wait no longer than 1 hour for the best chemical adhesion.

A sponge!??!? Wow there really is more than one way to skin a cat.

Great products for a great paint job... but thats as far as it goes preparation was horrible primer and clear was flying all over the cars around your job... 🤦🏾‍♂️

All the gear and no idea!! That is absolutely atrocious dude.

So , you fix one cars and over spray all the cars around you… Next time do it in your garage.

you do everything wrong, the result is awful

Great job
