Thanks for giving our products a try! Certainly noticed a couple things you could have done differently to help avoid some of the challenges you had. Just like if we painted a car for the first time with traditional auto paint, we would certainly benefit from having experts like you around for guidance. You guys are more than welcome to come to our facility in FL for your next dip project. I’d be happy to give you hands-on training to help you dial it in. Let me know if interested, could be fun! Thanks again - Fonz

I totally agreed with what u said towards the end. I tried this with my son and the gun kept drying on us and spitting spots once in a while. What I recommend for beginners is to have extra paint container so when your done with one just hook it up right away and continue. Also let it dry about 15 minutes between coats before hitting again. While your waiting clean the whole gun. They do get clog fast If u let it dry a few minutes.

This dude is good. I started out with cans and little spot repairs, then a fender and now whole vehicles. Sure my jobs are not as good as his but every one is getting better and made a profit.

Peeling while wet is what you needed to prevent bridging. But, the results for a first timer is very good. Yes, it took me few car dips to get it smooth and good. The gun can be tricky with drying, I recommend that you place it in a plastic grocery bag between coats so dip on and in it doesn't dry being exposed to air. I also clean the spray head every gallon to prevent clogging.

God I love Saturdays. Love the content as always man. Keep up the good work

I would have never thought to pick this color, but was pleasantly surprised that it turned out great! Now you need to hit those rims and accents with some matte black and you'll have one slick looking machine on your hands.

Thank you Paint Society for helping an newbie! The videos helped me take on the scary challenge of painting my 1986 Mustang LX notchback mustang. From Sanding to Primer to Finished paint. I painted the car completely disassembled and by hanging pieces up on threaded tube from Lowes using welding wire I made into a "swing set frame". Hanging each piece up 18 feet across. The hood, fenders, trunk lid, etc. Painting each part inside and out. The toughest part I found was really getting to know your gun. Using practice pieces to get the proper spray pattern. HVLP have COMPLETELY different Tip requirements: GUN AND TURBINE SET UP: I have a Fuji Mini Mite Platinum 4 with a T-25 gun - HVLP BOOTH: GorrilasPro 33' deep Inflatable with Updated Directed air control TIP SIZE FOR GUN: Primer I used a 1.8 tip screwed in 2 whole turns to get good atomization. 2k Primer with no sealer as the panels didn't need a sealer. May even been able to use a 1.5 tip wide open. Base I used a 1.5 tip screwed in 1 to 1 1/2 turns. This could have also been a 1.3 tip wide open but didn't have one to try out. Clear I used a 1.0 Tip screwed in 1 turn. This might have gone down to a .8 tip wide open but didn't have one to try. Worried about dry spray so went with 1.0. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING: Get a 3 ring binder and record your spray gun settings per the paint product. This keeps for forgetting what your settings were. Laminate your paint manufacturers instructions and put them in the binder for future use. Make notes and take pictures of your work. Record temperature readings in the booth and date and time. Record drying times to see if they line up with manufacturers drying recommendations. Helps you find a mixing mistake or if you were sold the wrong reducer, hardener or anything else. Log everything if you really want to get good. HARDEST PART TO MASTER?: The Clear - Finding the best setting on the gun took patience and testing PRIOR to painting anything. Test Spray wood, old shelving, or anything and double check before spraying. OVERALL RESULTS: Unbelievable. The Fuji Mini Mite Platinum 4 is absolutely incredible. The T-25 series gun that came with it lays down ULTRA Flat with little sanding needed before spraying base coat and clear. But man does it eat paint. Comes out very fast and you have to move quick laying each coat down with lots of patience allowing each coat to really dry. The gun empties fast but the job goes quick. I have a friend that painted hundreds of high end resto mods and classics. I had him come and look at the first pieces and he couldn't believe the end results. Ultra Flat and near perfect finish with little wet sanding. The base was flat and perfect. The clear had very minor wave to it and needs slight wet sanding and buffing. He was used to a compressor, air dryer and water filter and couldn't believe such a small compact turbine could make such an Amazing finish. He was blown away and stuck around as I sprayed a few pieces and he watched. He said..."Man, I'm getting one of these". He used Sata Guns for years and said that the Fuji blew his Sata's away. Now he's buying a Fuji Mini Mite Platinum 4 setup. HVLP Turbines are completely different in set up and use. GorrillasPro Booth: Absolutely incredible. NO overspray or dried areas anywhere on the car. Jambs came out perfect and the top and side surfaces free of dry spray or over spray. Washing the floor of the booth between stages really helps. Use a garden hose and rinse everything down between your Primer, Base and clear. FUJI Mini Mite Platinum 4 and T25 GUN: Supper flat. Almost no overspray and Flat as a pancake. Buy the extra hose for additional length and ease of use. Wipe your hose down between coats to keep dust from stirring up while dragging it around. A damp rag is all that is needed. Paint Society took away my fears in painting and I learned so much about this amazing skill. Without your help, I have no idea if I would have had the courage to do this work. Patience is the key! Your sanding is your finished product. Spend your time prepping the car ...not painting the car. If your prep is good, then you are all set. Wash clean over and over as you move from one stage to another. Keep that car clean and tacked off even if you think you got it clean....clean it again and ...again. Would love to see more HVLP videos using Turbine Set ups. You have to rethink your Tip Sizes with HVLP as they typically are a size or two smaller to get the best results but man do they atomize.

Put strips of vinyl behind the door handle, it will start peeling after a few grabs of the handle if you don’t… just a bit of advice. Nice job for your first time.

That turned out good for what it was and materials uses. 8/10 would recommend

NOW THAT'S HOW YOU POLISH A TURD!!!!! EXCELLENT JOB THO💪🏽

Yes Sir, looks really good (especially with the black parts added/chrome blacked out). Now all it needs is the small block LS Swap. LOL

Went from a 60 year old man car to a 30's. Looks pretty cool...black out the emblems too! 🖤

Nice sharing my friend.. watching from Malaysia

Wow, came out great!!!

Very nice. It seems the turbine sprayers have a tendency ro put quite a bit of heat into the sprayer itself. Thats why they are constantly stopping, the paint tries to dry in the gun. Even with latex. Nit sure about an oul based line Rust-Oleum, maybe ill give it a try.

Hey man! Always fun to try something new! Nice shirt by the way LOL

It’s great to hear your professional opinion on this product👌🏻

Looks like green primer looked better before!

The car looks awesome in person!!

Badass wagon!!!

looks awesome.- as with everything one try out here in life. you can only get better the more times you do it.

Really cool idea. My only thing differently would to R&I tail lenses but see your point about when it's time to remove.

Yes thank you Brian I have been waiting for the e320 for a long time!

Badass wagon!!👍👍

I honestly feel that with as much work goes into dipping your car it can’t be much more to just paint it. Especially when you can buy whole car 2 stage paint kits for like $380

Thank for your tutorial and professional opinion.

looks nice..great color choice for that car. i spray these removable coatings for a living...next time try using a all metal turbine gun(i use a bleeder style).many different options are available that will hook right up to the hose.will make it way easier.those plastic guns are trash

That gun works great!!!!! It's a different spray technique than spraying reg paint. Got to get closer and slow down on your passes.

Looks good from a far But far from good . peace Thanks i was looking at that dip stuff. im going to go with real paint .Thanks again.

Have you guys ever discussed doing a vehicle with Raptor Liner? Curious if you can clear coat over that too and get a great finish.. great video guys! 👍

Great video !

Turned out great!

Muy interesante trabajo, bravo 👏👏👏

Aw AW AW waaaawww amaziiingg 😍😍💥 cool

Awesome job man as always. Quick question does the primer peel as well I never used this kind of paint

Brian, when it comes to refinishing vehicles the word beginner and you don't really go together very well, I'll say this much for this project, I bet it's the only Plasti-dipped Merc Estate wagon you will see in the whole state of Florida.

In Germany we call this color NATO Green mat. It is the cheapest color on the market and it never makes any problems with painting. Containers, trucks or cars, It just works everywhere.

Maybe turning down the temperature would help in not drying in the spray gun. You’re doing great videos to help others Thank You 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🍺

Challenge: paint an entire car with spray cans/ rattle cans for a video

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

That music is kick ass!!!!!

Omg are you an astrologger?? Yesterday i am willing you a tutorial to paint a car with paint zoom. Im lucky!

So after all the gun reviews witch is the best for starter? I’m a residential and commercial painter so I want something decent! It’s hard to tell witch one is best you have reviewed so many budgets ones I would love to know witch it your favorite for price.

Can you spray plasti dip through a conventional spray gun, if so what do you recommend for setup, 1,2 /1.8 etc, thanks love the channel

I like !

Try an airless sprayer with a fine tip.

Good job man. I'm really impressed with your work. Im going to do mine soon but I need your help. I have bought Airless sprayer product called wagner motorcoat. Are they do any good to spray on my car compare to air compressor?? Ive found that the cfm is too high compare to air compressor. On air compressor the lower cfm you can have is 12 cfm to spray on a car. On wagner motorcoat sprayer the cfm is 40cfm. Is that too high?? Can I low the settings for the psi pressure to reduce the cfm from 40 cfm to 12cfm? And what worry me is the noise due to high pressure. If you don't have any problem with it that you made great finish with Airless sprayer compare to sir compressor please let me know.

What compressor do you recommend for a jeep Wrangler bed liner paint job?

What was this a no shine finish ? I stick to basecoat and clear or single stage !

What MM nozzle size did you use, 1.2mm or 1.8mm thank you.

Some areas where you’re getting bridging you should peal while it’s still wet

Can that sprayer be used with other paints as well?

You should try Lowe's Kobalt spray gun.

What size of tip would you recommend for primer

Just when I thought that model couldn't get any uglier....you prove that yes, it sure can!

Can you wash it or will the rubbing remove it?

I haven’t watched it yet but I’m gonna say as long as you do your preparation‘s with the gun and paint for sure you can paint a car with it Now I was expecting an airless not a turbine Nothing wrong with that I blacked out rims out though it’s just me

Not a fan of Plastidip. Looked good otherwise, maybe do a blackout on the wheels too

Hey Brian . Got a question, I got a 99' Honda 4-dooor . The paint on the roof , the hood and truck area are gone no clear coat. Along of the sides of the door midway there is some clear coat but it's peeling . Anything below that peeling clear coat is okay. I want to paint the whole car back to the original color [which is black] what prep work would you recommend?

Not bad, i dunno if the wheel color matches well with the plastidip though? the original color was pretty cool btw.

Wowww

I love your channel but dip is way different then paint. ● Your fan size was way to big. ● Jumping all around isnt a good idea either. ● Tiger stripes was due to wrong technique also. ● You went to peel when wet areas and the dip looked dry not wet IMO. ● Good idea to spray naptha through the gun between coats. They have a new improved gun that is better also in the G-Force gun. You should look into this for next time. You can use the bew gun with the old system you have. Since you have a paint booth you could also go with Autoflex that is high gloss just like paint gloss but is still peelable. Love your channel and i hope to see you yry this again.

Why is there no shine after paint ? Is that peelable paint ?

You can spray essentials single Spray cheaper...

OK IT WAS JUST A EXAMPLE FOR FIRST TIMER SPRAYPAINTERS THE CA STILL LOOKED GOOD AFTER RECOATING GOOD STUFF👍

Can you spray clear coat with this?

I talked to a guy that painted his 240 with appliance paint and it looked like a refrigerator.

Plasti dip absolutely sucks, the process, products and finish is diabolical to be honest I have seen a better result when some guy wallpapered his van

👍👍👍😎

I wonder if the 3m paint gun would be a good choice for spraying dip?

How much paint did you use for this job

_Rip reflector_ 5:58

Ah ,PlastiDip, feels like 2015 all over again

What's the name of this electric sprayer?

Great video as always. I'm curious if you would prefer the professional line of paint from PlastiDip or Halo EFX? Still removable paint but more like real stuff.

Should have laid it on thick. Saved some time up front, but lost way more on the backend, when it comes time to peel it off.

it is interesting to see how old guys still holding on to the horrible choice of music as the did as teens never want to ge==-row up right,,,peter pan syndrome lolol paint job looks pretty good

My brother how can l get you

plastidip, temporary "paint" that looks hella janky no matter how good a job you do. yup that car looks great! for someone who's day involves hanging out in a grocery outlet parking lot next to a metro by tmoble trying to sell passers by a note 10.

I've painted thousands of houses and that is NOT a house sprayer. 99.999% of every painter uses an airless sprayer.

I noticed the dip your car guy uses a regular spray gun not that bs

🧐🧐🧐🧐 is ok

😅😅😊😊😅

No!

Yeah not a fan of Plasti dip beyond some trims or wheels or maybe an old Jeep because zero fucks given. Cars with it generally look ghetto and plasti is porous so it traps dirt and grime. It's sad people support dyc and made the dude FILTHY rich because they didn't go a little more expensive for a real paint job. The only good thing about plasti is it's peelable which will be very helpful after you've had remorse about the paint job after a few weeks.... Better off vinyl wrapping it looks much cleaner.... And vinyl lasts for a decade or longer.

Could have saved a ton of money buying gallons from awarehousefull and thinning/mixing yourself and spraying with an hvlp gun. Used to be a channel called "i am the puzzleman" where he dipped peoples cars for cheap that way.

Could you use a normal spray gun, and do they do a gloss finish, very nice dude

how would anyone want this done to their car.. now it looks like a teenager ricer

Sc

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Whoever has to strip that crap off is going to hate you lol that stuff is garbage. I know you need stuff for videos, but what a waste of good money on that junk. Havent you ever had to strip that stuff off before, its terrible Could of taken a da, did a quick sand and ordered some cheap paint for half that price and it would of looked 10 times better.

Different but not an improvement in my eyes.

That stuff stinks, eh?

Worst ugly car il Never Seen !!! Why you kill Mercedes ???

Shameful to do this to a mb my spies clear coat alone cost the price of this entire waste of time job. I hate it and I am disappointed in you, I have to drop you down a notch.

Can you spray clear over that?

WHY DIDNT YOU GIVE IT A FEW COATS OF CLEAR DO YOU LIKE A FLAT FINISH? IM A TRADESMAN AUTO REFINISHER AUSTRALIA🙂

Peel of my as... 7 coats and doesn't want to peel off at all. Peeled in extremely small parts. Terrible job.
