I'm 69, haven't painted a car since my early 20's. Just completed a color change paint project on my 69 Corvette, big block roadster. Used Eastwood paint products and watched probably every Paint Society video. Turned out beautiful. Thank you so much for the videos.

[@danc2581]

I've been a mechanic for 20 years, and did some restoration work in the early 2000s. I've never done any major paint work myself, but I have to say this channel is pretty awesome. You guys go through everything including little mistakes that we all make as human beings. That really adds depth to this channel. You guys rock, and keep up the good work!!!

WOW! The first coat of base laid down like silk, beautiful. I'll definitely be using wet on wet 2k sealer over my 2k primer as I don't want to spray 5 coats of base colour. Excellent job by you and Pedro!!!

They put me into a second-term class because there was no first turmers, i learned a lot and had a good instructor but I think you're better, i like the way you teach.

Thanks for showing all the details. I'm not a painter but I'm going to give it a shot and paint my 1994 red chevy dually. The hood, top and fenders are faded from years in the southern sun. Watching your channel has given me some valuable information that should help a novice like me. You and Pedro do amazing work. So nice to see men that take pride in their work! I'm sure your customers appreciate it too.

[@franktetrojr]

That base gun lays it down. Pedros arm covers are fire and his technique is flawless. That booth though has me envisioned! Thank you Brian for putting these videos together for us simps!

[@peterfromaustralia2878]

Quite helpful, thanks. Also gave me good ideas: The spray-stands for the removed parts - I used an old bar-stool with cling warp around to rest my fender, bumper and sill on (one after another, obviously) while spray-painting.

[@charlespartak2435]

Having watched almost every one of these PS videos and actually doing my own first paint job just a couple weeks ago , i can say with experience that if you are attempting to paint your vehicle for the first time, its not rocket science but there definitely is a technique you need to learn with your own equipment. make sure you have all your materials (because i ended up going back to the paint supply to have another quart mixed that afternoon, luckily the weather was cooler and i had used the slow hardener which bought me time for a recoat of a couple spots) , make sure your surfaces are prepped and clean ,then clean and clean again. Make sure your mask job is tight or you'll be dealing with paint where you dont want it. Make sure your gun and compressor match cfm requirement. my compressor is a Kobalt 2 hp, 6.1 cfm @90psi and my gun was a hf purple 6 cfm gun .Material was Limco Supreme B/C ,( via Bumper to Bumper, Southeast Auto Parts in Huntsville ,AL ) but i just shot base color which is 1939-1952 Cape Maroon , gm hex code 3E1617, so it looks like a factory paint job ( originally lacquer and no clearcoat back then) going by what Brian says to do with it ,how to set it up, you will lay paint. It does take a lot of work to get the overlaps and speed right , but that little $9.99 gun made a believer out of me. I started on an area that if i messed up id never really see it, after cut n buff that area the finish actually looks great. But i did have a few areas with runs. Dont get nervous or upset if you have runs, you can remove those more easily ( tape and glaze, block sand until its gone, polish ) than if you have a dry spot which shows up like a sandy texture. those will require color sanding and most likely you'll end up as a thin spot (which i need to touch up as soon as the weather gets back into the 60s next week) whether it was material , settings or pure luck , i had very little overspray that i could tell. In short, while youre painting make sure you put enough paint on to color sand after. The tip about using the slow hardener on the last "Flow" coat is key. I turned up pressure just another 5 lbs, backed off the surface a couple inches and fogged that last layer on a little slower than the previous and made sure my overlaps were keeping a wet line. I had to keep telling myself to not keep laying paint when i just had. like Brian says, give it a minute to flow out. I literally watched it melt out what i was sure was going to result in terrible orange peel. I saw a comment the other day which made perfect sense..."A run in the paint is one step past perfection" so , if you have a run start to form , just adjust your speed and or distance. Having no professional training nor "paint booth" , i did have a decently lit area i built just to paint in now and for future use later. Not saying i resulted in a flawless paint job, because i do still have to work some texture out, but i impressed myself in my ability to paint my own project and gained a ton more respect for those who do this day in and day out. Thanks again to Paint Society and Brian Tonietti for putting this series of videos out there for us home/hobby/diy guys on limited funds and budgets. Dont overthink it, its just paint.

[@currentresident7760]

I've been working at a body shop for a bit now and extra tips I learned was if you're painting the door, it's better to take off the mirror and belt molding (the trim at the bottom of the window) for a better paint job in the end. The mirror can get in the way, and if you're unlucky, the clear coat could stick in that gap between the door and the belt molding.

The first time I ever saw and NSX(first year & brand new) it passed me on the freeway and the whole passenger side was wiped out. Same color as this one. A couple of miles after the NSX passed me my daughter was in my lap steering my new Ford pickup and she drifted into the steel median. It made a hell of a noise, but I didn't stop to check it out cuz I just didn't want to see the damage. Well a 150-miles later at my uncles I finally got the nerve up to check the damage and we were both surprised to see that it was just some light damage on the beauty ring and center cap. I never bothered to replace either, cuz new wheels were going on after the weekend. Pedro has a nice technique. I last painted a car in the early 70's and did quite a bit back in the day on nights and weekends, but I now have three vehicles to paint and I am looking into the new materials and equipment.

What are the specs on the compressor that powered the Sagola? How many gallons of air that that tank holds? I've been spraying architectural metalwork with some higher quality metallic and candy's and its tough getting higher quality results with a 5 HP/12 CFM/ 60 gallon compressor that I bring onto site. It is a tough to get good results with no spray booth but, with this type of work, its more about how the paint lays and blends.
