I like this guy cause he shows you how to do all this stuff without fancy expensive shop tools. Everything he shows are things you can do in your garage

Your comment about cure time for 2k clear is gold. I just cleared a hood with Spray Max 2k Gloss and tried to wet sand and buff after 24 hours and couldn't figure out where all the damn scratches came from. I'm leaving it alone for a week and trying again but first, I need more beer.

You are the best teacher for auto painting on youtube. To the point with the right amount of humor. I used your expertise to eliminate failed clear coating, then painted and recoated my black truck fender flares using rattle can K-2 products. They turned out well. After about 9 days, I will refresh myself with your eliminating orange peel video and get it sanded and buffed pretty. Thanks. I would have never tried this, but somehow you made it simple enough to attemp.

What I like about these videos (apart from the fact that this guy is an expert) is that he is actually teaching you how to do things right. He knows there's people who would like to learn about this stuff and he takes the time to explain everything to the smallest detail. He doesn't like "cheap and fast" solutions so he uses the proper material and tools, as much as you need, he tells you how to use them and he tells you why he is using them. Awesome channel.

Thanx for sharing this...it really helped me recover what i thought was a ruined section when I tested wet sanding with 2000 grit on orange peel clear coat. I didn't clean it well enough and I didn't go back over enough with compound. After doing what you recommended, my little test section is restored to match the rest of the hood and when I have time, I will do the whole hood following this. Good vid, good direction. Thanx!

I just finished painting my C6 hood in my garage. I'm fortunate enough to have a decent air compressor so I didn't resort to aerosol cans, but everything else you've shown was incredibly helpful. I might add a disclaimer up front, in large flaming letters, "DO NOT PUT URETHANE BASE COAT OVER LACQUER-BASED PRIMER!" (Unless you're going for that cracked lunar surface look.) Keep it up!

I've used two highly rated body shops and I'd have been better off keeping the rock chips I touched up myself, let alone the repainting I'm going to have to do. The second shop had the audacity to tell me black is hard to work with, when they knew going into it I kept my truck pristine. Oh well.

Hey just did this to my hood. Not too bad! Beats $1.000$ quote I got. I'll post pics when I'm done polishing. Just one note, if I could do it over, make sure you prime the surface really well with, I would say, several coats of primer. I could have used maybe one or two more coats. Then sand it the very best you can before painting painting and applying clear coat. Great video for DIY peops!
