This was a Fun but tiring video. I had wins and fails in this video but we got it done!!! In this video we started with a very bad orange peeled spray paint job and turned it into a slick show car finish. I used all pretty primitive tools to get this process of wet sanding and buffing the paint to perfection. This process is pretty simple but labor intensive!!! So follow along get your sand paper and buffer and get to doing some satisfying paint correction.

I wanna thank you. I followed your instructions after rattle canning (turbo white) the suburban. No clear coat and just did cut and buff on paint. Holy moly, I wish I knew about this before because it makes a huge difference. I did use flash light to see orange peel in between sanding. I used different waxes, and will buy Nu Finish to add to this. Mine will have black truck bed liner on bottom half to help hide body work and clear or white bed liner on roof.

I have two different trucks that I have been needing to get painted but I have never painted a vehicle in my life before!! I’m also definitely not good at mudding and taping a house out either so if I can’t do a good job mudding and taping a house out I’m definitely not going to be good at doing a vehicle either!!! I can’t afford to have someone do a paint and body work on my trucks either so I’m just going to have to try and do it myself!!! After watching all your steps that you go through has definitely helped me out on what I need to get and what to do!!! I think if I just do one panel at a time and just take my time and follow your steps I keep telling myself I might be able to pull it off hopefully!!! I have a 1972 Chevy K30 with a 1969 grill in it and the other truck I need to get painted is a 1981 Chevy K30 also!!! I have gotten all new sheet metal for my 1972 and all the sheet metal on my 1981 is good except I do need to find a decent 8’ box with dual square gas doors for it!!! Can I paint the front half of the truck now and then when I’m able to find the correct box for it could I paint it then or should I paint it all at the same time??? I’m thinking of painting it white or a two tone white and blue!!! What are your thoughts on that?? It does stay in my shop most of the time since it is big enough!!! I built a big shop 60’x80’x16’ so I’d have enough room for all my good trucks and so they wouldn’t have to sit out side all the time also!!! After I got my shop put up after building are house 20 years ago I definitely wish we would have put one up much sooner for sure!!! Awesome video and I’m definitely glad I ran across your channel for sure!!!

Yea after I watched your video plus others I went did body work and I went with Rust oleum gloss charcoal grey on my 2001 impala. I left side mold black but painted the skirts. Now I put on lot like 6 cans of clear and yea its gonna need wet sanded then buffed. Already got heads turning and any body man or anyone knows about painting knew I have yet to wet sand then buff out..everyone I talked to said they never seen 01 impala in New color on these cars seen today. Plus way it runs..I replaced all the major parts on her and once I buff her out she gonna shine like new money. Then I'm gonna start working on inside and like put different seats in front..like bucket seats.

You really do need to protect that Turbo paint with clear or a coating because the paint itself is crap. Left unprotected it only last a few months and the black fades to gray. Wish they put their automotive paint in the Turbo cans. Painted a car hood with it, looked great for a few months with the included gloss

That looks great! But that is coming from a beginner. You being a professional painter it may look subpar. For a hot rod and not concours I would be 100% happy with how it turned out. I have a ‘59 Apache and a ‘61 olds 88 that may get this treatment. I guess it depends on what colors are available in those big cans. I do know that good bodywork is the key to a decent finish. Thanks for doing these videos and making them long enough to follow along.

The First Coat Looked Way Better than the Second Coat on your Truck Bed. I did my SUV Spray In A Can Anodized RED and it has a color Change in it So on a bright day it is a Cherry RED and in the Shade it turns Dark Cherry RED It Looks Awesome and I also Did all of my Plastic Interior Trimmings. I also did the Star the Same color on my Aluminum Star Wheels it started to chip off on the Wheels because i was Supposed to Clearcoat the Aluminum Wheels First then when dried and spray on the Anodized RED and let that Dry and Clearcoat it. Anodized paints Only works with Chrome for it to work, so what i did I sanded my SUV right Down to the Chrome Metal then Clearcoat it and then Sprayed on the Anodized Cherry RED and after it was dried then Sprayed Clearcoat to lock in the paint. It's like a hamburger the bun is Clearcoat the meat is your Cherry RED and the other bun is your Clearcoat you need to sandwich it in, that's what a Autobody Shop Guy Told me to do.👍

Nice vid except for one thing. I've done plenty of cut and buff on cars throughout the years. One thing I didn't care for is how you were sanding the paint horizontally on the curved sections. There I like to do the criss cross method. With a bodymans eye I could see the problems after you buffed it out. But that's OK. Everyone watching your video didn't see it. But I could see the problem with you sanding the curved sections left to right and vice a versa.

Hey Sir out of all the painters you the only one, who said how to use the grits sanding question, I need to do my rear third light and the paint is peeling up, what type of sanding and primer to use it jet black.,iam your 1fan now

@ACDesignsGarage 27 күн бұрын

Thank you, sorry I missed your comment. I usually scuff with 500 grit wet or red scotch brite works great. The primer I'd use if yousing rattle can would be rustoleum auto primer. You can shoot one day wetsand the next and spray your color right after and it will look great!

The cutting part is what scares me. Im happy to do everything else but the cutting part makes me nervous. Im prepping to rattle can restore my 1987 honda Ballade/ Civic.

That's why I put extra paint on it to be sure. The main places that you will have trouble are hard edges. You can tape them up so you dont hit them. But don't worry I've cut through before just fix it and keep going. Another tip is not to use power tools and block by hand and you will have less chance of cutting through!

Im curious to know if you've ever used the Sonax brand of compound and polish? That stuff is amazing. I'll never use Mother's again.

The problem is you cant thin the paint further than how it is in the can that's why I use a good quality spray gun at the proper pressure.as the more you spray from the can the lower pressure you end up with but not a bad job for a can.

How would you maintain the gloss ? Waxing /polishing or can you clear over it ? . I took my old 69 pick up to a crooked body shop he promised me a decent paint job at a fair price 2,000 dollar deposit my truck sat in his shop for 2 months no work done to it but stripping and ruining a lot of my classic trim . I went every weekend and asked about the progress so he got frustrated with me and started zipping on the truck with a flap disc 😮 to look like he was working on it 😢. I finally asked for my keys 3 months later drove it out with no windshield no taillights all my stuff in a box and took her home then I had to use a rattle can to try to color match it to look decent but it needs this kind of lovin.

I hate that, for some reason people don't wat to work for some reason. As for maintaining it you can keep polishing it but it will get thin. The best way to do it is 2k clear over that spray paint. I did a video this week on buffing that 2k and it looks amazing. The week before I showed how to clear over the turbo can. I'll put a link below on this weeks video if you want to check it out. Thanks for watching!!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZqmhnaaQnNKclJc.htmlsi=Z2zNfjquZo0qrr0F

After doing this could you improve the clarity by clear coating this ?

@ACDesignsGarage Ай бұрын

Yes I made a video after this one putting 2k clear over it and buffing it, it turned out amazing!!!!

When would you add clear coat during this process? I'm painting my hood Thursday n wanted to put clear on it after the can. Thanks man. Perfect timing

@ACDesignsGarage 3 ай бұрын

Awesome Im doing a video this week but it wont be out till Friday. The way I do it is if your painting your color, get a couple coats of it down till covered then let it tac. I like to check a spot on the paper or tape that has paint on it. It should be barely sticky, not stringing when you pull your finger off of it, and then I shoot the clear. If your just clearing a dry surface youll need to wet sand it with 800 grit to give it something to bite into or it will peel off later

@jasonv1144 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for replying. Just another question. Shouldn't I wet sand it anyways after base coat? I'm assuming ill have orange peel. Then shoot clear after that. Thanks again. Maybe ill wait a day and watch the video

@4ehardy 2 ай бұрын

So can you polish the other half with compound without wet sanding and get the same results?

@ACDesignsGarage 2 ай бұрын

I would say yes if it was a catalyzed single stage. But this enamel never really gets hard enough to buff it flat. But you could try it out, I haven't tried that yet

I really enjoyed the video. Quite a workout for you! And it turned out nice, so good job. I'm looking forward to next week's video of you showing us how you paint with a gun/compressor plus clear coating the panel. I would appreciate any info you can share about a beginner setup (gun and compressor). Thanks

Can a man just start with 2500 grit to clean up scratches on a single stage old paint to get the oxidation? Keep up the great work/ content.

@ACDesignsGarage 3 ай бұрын

Yeah man that should work pretty good. If it's really bad just drop back to 2000 the 2500 and buff, just depends on how bad it is. Thanks for watching!!!!!!

That looks great! In the past, I’ve had issues with rustoleum enamel fading from the sun, but a clear coat prevented that. Does this cut/buff process help, or do you still clear coat it?

@ACDesignsGarage 3 ай бұрын

The clear will help it last longer, then you can cut and buff it for a show car shine!!! Hopefully next week im gonna do a clear coat job on the other side!!!!!
