Great job mate for using spray cans and doing it in your garden. So easy for grit, dust and bugs to end up on the paint at all stages. For that reason and because its such a big panel, and using so much paint, I couldnt advise people enough to go to a pro. It could be about the same expense but without the potential mistakes and hassle

Hello Jack what an amazing compliment. I'm not in the paint trade myself my trade is electronics engineering or should I say was as I've quit that now. I've always been naturally good at fixing things so that helps but I do believe anyone new could learn this quite easily the hardest thing is having a good environment to do the work mine was done in my back garden in a Gazebo

@@The_journeyy I've mucked around with painting cars and what not. A bunch of people have asked me what I think of those videos on youtube of people doing it out of a can... The videos you see, which are the best results, are proffessionals. I wouldnt never do this with a can, there's literally no point. A paint job like this would be lucky to last a few years before issues arise... So best to do this kind of thing just before you trade it in haha.

Looks great! I'm going to spray my bonnet when the weather get warmer. So I have got questions. Do you recommend that I should spray the bonnet inside the booth? I have a car roof that need to spray but I can't spray on it because my car is in a private car park so what can I do? How many times can I spray with primer, paints and clear coat? Do I need to rub 1000 grit sandpaper before I primer it and after? How I can stop put too much black paint on the bonnet? How warm can I spray it inside the booth? I'd it 18c to 20c if it should be good enough?
@The_journeyy Жыл бұрын
For best results I'd spray it in the booth I'd get a body shop to sort the roof out its not possible to spray the roof in a car park Best results 3x each coat of primer, paint and clear If your unsure about how to get even coats of paint there's videos on here explaining how to know how much to put it's best to practice on a small area like a piece of cardboard so you get comfortable For spray cans I'd have a look online temperatures are on there In terms of prep and doing the job the video shows the process step by step I didn't use 1000 grit sandpaper I used 400,600,800 grit all items and quantities are in the description

There could be so many factors causing that to happen most common are: 1:You've not allowed the primer to dry properly and your sanding it too early 2:Your sanding the primer too hard and your putting to much pressure the whole point of sanding the primer after it's dried is too flatten it out and make it smooth using water you give it a light sand with 800grit 3:You've skipped a step and sprayed the primer without prepping the surface 4:Your using the wrong primer for the material your painting There is many other reasons why that could be happening but the common causes for that will be because something isn't being done correctly

£500 is actually a really good price. On the inside of the door usually they will be the paint code for you car if not there it should say where if you type the car name on Google, mine was gloss black which is just a standard black so it was cheap to get the cans £4.95 each. Typically you need about 2 cans of each for the bonnet if its quite big. A wing usually needs about 1 can and bumpers usually about 2 all my cans I picked up from the local auto body shop.

What you see in the video is dramatically different to what the eye sees in real life the coats are not thick they're just right it's about getting the right balance of coverage whilst not going to heavy hence why I get no runs.

Bro..how to paint from bare metal...im going to strip my polo bonnet to bare metal...what things i need?
@The_journeyy3 жыл бұрын
Have a look in this videos description it will show the things I used but its pretty much: Grease remover I used panel wipe Self etching primer Clearcoat 2k Colour matched paint Tag rags Sandpaper 80grit going up I've not gone as deep down as bare metal in the past I've just used the 80 grit to make sure its roughed up properly which is what most people do I hope this helps if not I've got a video coming out next week which shows the process I used to respray some steel alloys that might help.

@@kundi13 Yeah when I spray painted mine I also scuffed the edges just be careful not to scuff them once you've got your primer on be careful when sanding near any edges with the 800 grit when your smoothing down the primer before putting on your colour matched paint

Isn't it 'wet and dry' not sandpaper?
@The_journeyy2 жыл бұрын
Not sure if this is an actual question you are aware you can get sandpaper which is either of those right or both at the same time

@@The_journeyy It's just that when I worked in a coach company wet and dry were always used, sandpaper would normally disintegrate with water. I was never a sprayer so I am no expert and it wasn't a criticism, just saying.

Oh I see what you mean I thought you was joking around couldn't tell if it was a real question working the coaches sounds good But I get your point sandpaper will Normally disintegrate if you put water or if your sanding for a while wet and dry is usually the most robust

Hello Alan, unless you've got a friend with a garage you could do it in or a gazebo you could lend from them that was the cheapest option for me or you could always wait until summer is really here and then there's hardly any wind hope that helps mate 😀

Brilliant video, it has inspired me to give it a go on my one series. Quick question, I have a few chips on my bonnet will this mean I have to sand the entire bonnet back to bare metal so the whole bonnet is even?
@The_journeyy3 жыл бұрын
I've never sanded all the way down back to bare metal on anything before it would take a lot of time and then you'd have to add extra steps for prep, depending on the condition of your bonnet if the reason you wanted to paint it was a few stone chips you could just touch them up or if you just wanted the bonnet to be perfect I'd sand it down until the paint was nice and dull using 400 grit be careful round the ends of the bonnet sand them gently and then 600 grit to make it nice and smooth before you lay some etch primer and then all your coats after would do the job hope thats helpful 😊

Could you tell what time you wait between the coats of primer, paint and the clear coat, thanks in advance:)
@The_journeyy3 жыл бұрын
30 minutes between each coat of primer, once all coats have been done I wait until the following day to sand the primer flat with 800 grit could be done on the same day I just prefer to leave it. Then 30 minutes between basecoats once all the basecoats are done leave it one hour before starting to lay on the clear for the clear typically an hour or so between coats. If your painting in a garage wait times are much better but unfortunately not all of us have that luxury I did this job in my garden :)

Hey Alan Yeah my email reginald71993@gmail.com Where did you do your painting outside? The only issue I can think might have caused the problem without getting more information from you is the base coats I'd only do 3x primer 3x base, 3 clearcoat and I sand the primer once its dry to flatten it out so you get the gloss when you get a chance send us an email with your pictures so I can have a look 😁

All day job on just the hood. Guessing that's why you stop giving drying time between coats.
@The_journeyy3 жыл бұрын
On my mine in total it probably took me half a day if that, drying times are always going to be slightly different depending on the products your using and where your doing the job if I had my own garage and some infrared lights I could have cut the time down in half but unfortunately for me I didn't have those things available to me 😊
