I don't think a lot of people realize you could color sand and buff single stage to amazing high gloss

That's so cool to watch those headlight lenses come alive when the clear hit them.

Impressed on how it layed down, for a scratch and paint its impressive.

7:06 watching those headlights go from foggy to crystal clear in a split second was awesome. Brilliant to spray them at the same time as the rest of the car.

I’ve heard a lot of older painter say that single stage black is the deepest black and that they always clear the black.

We did it for years back in the 80's. We would put 980 clear over martin senior single stage since it laid out nicer than centari. We just used the 980 hardener in the color and never had any issues.

Awesome bud!! I love spraying Ss/cc you just cant beat that finish. Specially when spraying with a quality high solids. That cut and buf looks ridiculously awesome after!!.

I think you have more single stage videos than most channels....I should know, just went back and rewatched most of them😂Just did tractor wheels for an old guy with alcoid enamel he bought. That was a first. Now I have sprayed all current versions. Acrylic enamel, synthetic enamel, and urethane and oil based. Will be adding activated clear to urethane single stage or adding a clearcoat layer to all my single stage jobs now. Will give the customer the option of which.

Ive heard from a lot of older body guys that clear over black single stage is the best gloss black because of the Depth you get.

ABSOLUTELY!!😂 reflection looks good. I've used the thinner pattern you spoke of when I used to paint semi trucks with the sleeper roof too.👍🏾😎

I’ve used clear on top of Rustoleum, Majic, Finish 1 and a few other Enamels had phenomenal results. I use Acme Finish 1 Hardener and Enamel Reducer. Let dry 6+ hours then lay on the clear, Especially Speedo Kote High Solids! I mainly use clear to keep the paint from fading / turning Chalky

WOW that is legit nice, a proper mirror finish haha. Wish I could get this stuff in the UK...

been forever wanting to do some paint correction on my dc5. got a few tiny rust spots. younger me wouldve been like oh this has to be perfect, spotless and all. but now me is like, meh if i stand 5 feet away and squint a lil bit, looks like it came fresh off the lot. thank you for inspiring me.

"scratch n spray '. That line made me laugh 😂. ... Looks good as always

Dude that came out looking great with leftover paint lol great work bro keep up that grind

In southeast Michigan, this will be perfect. This looks great, thanks man.,TCP Global carries a bunch of good stuff too.

I’m super interested in seeing the other clear coat on the single stage paint. Please put black again!!

Looks fantastic! 👍

You can also mix clear into your last coat of single stage to give it a little extra pop

looks great , i will say watch out with clearing over ss , some ss releases solvents slowly as it dries which could interfere with the clear yours looks like it hasn't which is nice to see!

Let's fookin goooooo!! Imma put all of your rsx jobs into a playlist for some motivation!

I did the same about 13 years ago. Build was for "Four n' Rotary" nationals show and shine. Car was a green 86' mazda 323 rolling shell 2 weeks out, converted it to Mitsubishi Lancer evo6 engine and awd, full retrim, rewired, tuned then test driven, stripped and then decided on ppg 2k dg black (single stage, two part direct gloss) to save on time, didn't like it one solid colour, so scuffed then copied the original Mazda bfmr two tone laying gunmetal grey base coat on lower half and around the window surrounds, then one solid coat of ppg high solid 2k clear over top of both colours and a flow coat, drove it there with no hood as it was still baking and it looked immaculate under false lights in the show. The black looked ten miles deep and like it was dripping.. Since then I've done the same to single stages to add depth and gloss to quick and easy paint jobs, like my evo on my channel.

It came out amazing.

Boom another banger. Again I can say I learned some solid stuff in this one, I'm going to try the thin spray trick and the clear coat over single stage is important to me because I bought electric blue single stage and I Wana spray clear over it to preserve it. Idk I will tho budget wise I don't Wana spend more

I actually liked the Nortic Gray... Back in 1980 I needed to paint my 70' GTX and we had left over Battleship Gray and it looked really cool :) Love that car, it was the meanest looking Dodge/Plymouth car... and I had a 68 Charger RT! But my cruiser was the GTX :)

Amazing results! Dirt cheap. I am impressed.

So I work part time at a collision shop after school. I'm in Collision Repair class until August. We use the PPG Shopline products, not for or against it. Well I recently used clear "universal spot hardner" in my epoxy primer cuz it's all we had. As of right now it worked and is getting ready for base. I already base coated the hood and everything worked fine. Only time will tell how long it will last tho. It's kinda funny the things you can get away when it comes to painting.

I have done this several times for an entire car. What I have found is that it almost doesn't matter what you use for a base coat it's simply just a color. I've actually used Rust-Oleum paint as a base coat color and then used actual automotive clear coat. For the clear coat I used Speedokote glamor clear and got almost showroom quality finish out of it. Although I've used Rust-Oleum as a base coat and gloss the best results I had was using rustoleum thinned down and in a satin Sheen and then used the clear coat over it and I got the best results with that.

Looks great, Marco!

The results remind me of the Beastie Boys line, My pants are tight, and I feel all right😮😊😂 KEEP ON TRUCKIN' BIG MAC MARCO 👍

Looks good Thinking outside the box And it worked out

Classy and glassy!

You should try the clear coat over primer paint job.

1hr later--- she's a beautiful car agian, sick job man!

came out super nice

Depth i think is the word you are looking for. Looks awesome like it was PPF'd!!

Always wanted to try this over speedo jet black ss

paint job looks awesome 😎💯

Sweet job brother next make a video doing color sanding on a project like this one for extraordinary results 😎

Always loved the rsx/dc5 chassis. Would definitely pick one up if I come across a good condition one for a good price

Looks great! What grit would you use to sand 2k high build primer? Also would you wet sand?

Dose the clear coat use the same hardner as the single stage I was surprised it didn't solvent pop or wrinkle up nice work

Ive done clear coat over single stage and ive even mixed some clear coat into my single stage. Works very nice

Dude you kill it!

I've done this before but I used kirker brand n it does give it an extreme glossy look

I didn't ask for this but ty for doing it. Nice

Awesome love the look what im going for on my chevy s10. Only one question how long did you wait after you got done painting to put the clear on

Nice video! This gets me amp'd about doing my own paint job. I've got a small, 80's BMW 320 that is black and I'd like to use this method. Is 1-quart enough to spray a small car? What are the p/ns for the SS black and clear that you used?

I can't wait to see the single stage spk and the smr42 test car. When you do it, are you gonna do 1 coat of each like you did this car? The results speak for themselves. Great work as usual.

wow I will be checking out the vids.👍👍

Nice job!!!

Can i do a single stage without clear coat?

Gosh darn, what a swell job 👍🏻

Amazing job what kit can I buy to spray a 99 civic hatch single stage black with clear like this car? Also which of your clear spray over rustoleum best?

Im about to do this same process now but how long did you wait until you sprayed the clear on top of the single stage

When u laid the black single stage how long did u wait before u laid the clear coat on or what time frame do u recommend

looks sick

Looks great....q🙌🏾

Every time I’ve tried to clear some head lights with rattle can clear the paint always cracks and looks like a spider web or crows feet. I’ve tried light coats, different brand of clear. Nup it still cracks and I have to sand it all back off again. Not sure what’s happening.

Looks great man 🔥

Hey boss, question about how you run your fans straight outside with no filter is that ok do to only in your state? I work out of my dads shop and I don't want to bring him any problems from the state, would I be ok to do the same?

Is the 9711 Speedokote's Darkest Black? Will a Black Primer make it a Darker color?

I just sprayed the single coat from speedokote and it was a dream compared to restoration shop worth the extra money and you use far less paint

I like the music 🎶

Great work bro. Do you have any problems with too much trash in paint? I'm painting in open bay similar to you.

How long did you wait before switching to spraying clear after base

@marco thank you sir. Yes, I have asked myself :)

Sheeeesh!!! Making Headlight Great Again ;)

Scuff n spray 👍👍👍👍 The only way to go 💪💪

I'm sorry I thought you wanted to share your knowledge and experience I enjoy your videos and you have inspired me to paint. Maybe I'm starting out like you with a harbor freight gun and a wish to be creative. Maybe one day I could be talented like you. It's a gift you should be proud of. That being said I'm sure you get a bunch of repetitive questions that might anoy you. I'm sorry you felt the need to make fun of the people that watch your videos and look to you for guidance. Bye the way the clear looks amazing over single stage good job.

Did you sand those headlight lenses prior to painting them with clearcoat

Mark- how long after applying the SS did you apply the clear coat??

Nice job what paint gun and tip did you use buddy

I just learned that clear coat will fix headlights . cool

I have cuestion need polish after paint the car

Nice work

I need a list of everything used for my 1985 Monte carlo

I am new to your channel, how long did u wait to put clear on after you ss it????

From one ginger to another, I am a certified paint and collision expert. You are definitely spraying expertly that paint is laying on beautifully

How much to wait between single stage and putting clear on it?

Something about shiny wet black paint makes the heart feel good

single coat of clear is gonna be a huge problem later on when it peels off from UV damage, and it's gonna look like shit. I'd rather just have the single stage paint uncoated. At least oxidation can be buffed out with single stage.

What is the point of the grey base if you’re going to go black over?

Good day congratulations for the great video..I would like to ask about the electric paint gun, would I get a good result if I sprayed varnish at the last stage of painting or would it give me a very bad result??Because I don't have an air compressor for a normal paint gun..Thanks in advance

Watching that last pass made me feel happy, satisfied, and sad all at the same time. My cars paint is soo bad. Wish my cars paint looked like this. Can't afford to fix it being a father of 4

In your experience, would you worry that applying clear coat over a glossy single stage may peel off in the near future? Or is it ok because you applied it all the same day. Asking for a friend 😂

Damn, like glass!

Should have tried clear coating the tires also. Never need to tire shine again.

Woww

Lookz Amazing!!! 🔥 Can u do my car!! 🙏

Looks great, done forget you gotta hit that clearcoat within the recoat window. Otherwise that clear will peel off like an onion, ask me how I know 😂.

I do it all the time it could just be me but I think it looks better like you can swim in it

Put the a big wing on it..make it fly

I've cleared over ss a few times with zero issues

That's a lot of debris and fish eye spots on the clear, was it the humidity or the gun pressure? Not trying to be a smartass or a hater, have a nice weekend.

Got some additional UV protection to boot.

So what you're saying is I need to clearcoat my single stage? Got it! Double single stage 😂🤦‍♂️

You gonna keep this car? I now have 4 automatics and I need to save a manual 😊

I really like the depth of color using this technique😮with fewer coats. Yeah. I like. And if it holds up, no issues in the future, I Really like👍 And lastly, if you ever drop the "elevator music" i'm gonna Unsubscribe 😂

Results are better, I have done it many times.
