[@jeffmelton6875]

I really like how you are showing the repair process on the fly. You do a great job educating those of us that aren't experts!

[@thecarolinacraftsman4120]

I enjoy the down to earth simple approach you have to explaining your processes and the fact you’re not full of yourself. Keep it simple and full of information and we will continue to support you best we can.

[@GarageNoise]

I appreciate that!

[@robertcharlton1551]

You Finally straighten me out on what a clear base. It’s a blending agent. The same term can be called other things by someone else. Thank you bunch’s.

[@GarageNoise]

👍yes, some call it a clear base, wet bed, color blender, intercoat clear it can be confusing.

[@GregoryGreenSr.-vs4ot]

You was awesome! ❤

[@GarageNoise]

You too!! Thanks!

[@me9628]

Hi Chris, thx for your tips, two days ago had to paint my car with silver metallic in my garage, used wet bed with same product following your steps, 3 base coats , first one wet with blender, after 10 minutes, second coat wet , and later last a drop coat 18 psi and moved the gun away, job came without issues regarding coverage, again thanks for your videos.

[@GarageNoise]

Awesome to hear! Thanks so much for the comment and support!

[@CA-pv5ie]

Such good videos! Thank you GN! As so many of us spray in an open garage, to watch you deal with what we have to deal with is SO HELPFUL!

[@GarageNoise]

You are so welcome!

I also appreciate a paint Technician that's not covered with tattoos.

Okay Mr. Rogers.

[@AudiRSAvant]

Why would that matter

Bro are you taking a subtle dig at the gunman?

[@stravis3269]

Yes tats are offensive for some reason. . Oh yeah every prison inmate has tattoos

[@gagechambley8251]

I prefer full body tats don't trust anyone without full body tats lol

[@88Painterman]

Another great video! Looks great

[@devonmartinbasson]

Great video, i love that you show every issue and mistake and how to deal with it. i have a stupid question, so you paint your first coat of base or clear right, then while that's flashing off what happens to the left over paint sitting in the gun? is that still ok to be used for the second coat or is it thrown out and a new batch mixed for each coat?

[@Danno74Z]

Hi Chris, I really enjoyed the video and learned a lot. Seems like you were fighting dust particles more than usual but those are the challenges in an open garage which most DIY's will be facing. By you showing the process of stopping fixing and moving on it helps a lot. This time of year it's tough as there is so much stuff in the air from leaf particles, dust from fields and dead grass. Take a black glass stove top and clean it. Watch the dust land back on it :). The big issue for me is the fiberglass insulation up on the roof rafters. I will do what you have done. It looks like you have plastic up above where you paint. Cheap way to attract and hold fiberglass particles. GOOD ONE!

[@GarageNoise]

They were actually small bugs, had to shut the door on second coat of clear.😵‍💫

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Hi Chris, beautiful job on this one the hood looks amazing with a perfect OEM peel finish👌as always a very detailed explanation of what you are doing at each step. I remember my first silver and as you pointed out on the hood I could see stripes in the wet basecoat which concerned me at the time but I know these days it's going to be fine once it's flashed off. Thanks for doing this Chris you are a pure inspiration to others👏🙏👍John UK

Thanks for showing all the things that can crop up as you paint and the corrections you can do to repair them. What capacity is your small compressor?

[@GarageNoise]

I use a large compressor. Iv seen this gun used with a 20 gallon compressor tho.

[@eapauto]

Great job, sir, you make it look easy!

Thanks for watching!

[@PhillipHall01]

This video was particularly helpful. I was wondering if the LVLP guns were good for silver metallics. Thumbs up! I had one delivered just today and look forward to using it, Phillip Hall

[@backroadscamaro541]

With color blender do i use my clear gun or basecoat gun

[@kevinc5917]

WHy does it look like you spray very fast on the fender of the jeep for clear, but on the hood it seems like you go alot slower? Thanks!

[@GarageNoise]

I guess I do that because a hood can hold more material so I can slow down and hit it a bit harder. If you do that on a side panel it's more likely to run.

[@kevinc5917]

@@GarageNoise ok thanks. I am spraying my truck first ever painting and ill have the hood flat and the doors off should i paint the doors standing up or flat, its a green metallic paint, thanks for replying back!!

[@GarageNoise]

@@kevinc5917 hey no problem, I'd paint them standing up. You might be able to get a flatter finish if you paint them flat but will definitely get more trash in the job. Send me pics of the resultd a [e-mail]

[@mikedaniels1697]

Another great video thanks for the info have a question would you use the same process on a new bumper cover same color

[@geydyarriaga4022]

Great videos, I like that you are a straight forward person, what tip size or Nozzle Needle size does my R500 needs for phantom gray base coat? it's a dark grey metallic from toyota. please let me know.

[@GarageNoise]

1.3 if what I use for all stock colors

[@troyadams1076]

Another great video

[@GarageNoise]

I appreciate that!

[@travisjackson6923]

My tip would be if you do 3 coats of base start the first from front to back, second across the hood and third coat front to back again. Ending the same direction you spray the top of the fender. Another thing you can do is drop coat on the last coat just a touch to prevent mottling but still a smooth finish. If blending, use a step warmer on reducer.

[@GarageNoise]

Good tips!

[@fundamentallybroken4194]

Fighting dust in an open shop is one thing... Im fighting flys and mosquitos in an open field! Haha

[@GarageNoise]

That's quite the challenge!

Thanks 👍

[@fuwaafrica6339]

Good job 👏 Can I spray clear coast only on my silver color car because I want it to be more shiny ✨ ? I had no scratches on it

[@BearBudgetgarage]

I'm using that color blender to mix color flip pearls on a couple jobs. I treat it more like cheap basecoat and do a 2 to 1 mix. But I am using the turbine and a 1.0 to spray it.Way too thick. I will end up with bad texture otherwise. I don't mind, because diluting the blender stretches the product so it lasts longer...

[@GarageNoise]

That's a great use for it! Appreciate the comment brother!

What percentage alcohol do yo use for wipe down.

[@GarageNoise]

70% isopropyl

[@rogerchristeson]

New to this channel as well as this trade for that matter. You have a way of explaining things a noob like me can understand. I will be watching plenty of your content. Also, have you ever considered one of them inflatable booths on amazon or ebay? Im wanting one soon and im curious whats your opinion on that with a low pressure turbine system

[@danielking5749]

Hi what sort of paint are you guys using? I was thinking of using rustoleum through the r500 but to me it’s quite a soft paint or could I use it with a UPOL clear coat on top?

[@GarageNoise]

I use nason xl base coat

[@johnjenson5738]

Time frame between coler and paintalso i noticed you changed direction for awhile on the hood.?Thanks

[@ngaihtea5237]

Great job 👍🏻 Sir, Now I have used Aeropro A610 Lvlp spray gun for Auto paint, compare to Rongpeng R500 Lvlp gun which do you think is better for small air compressor?. Can you give me advice?

[@kseries20-24only]

Reducer for the RTS binder, that's probably why I got a run 😅 I would really appreciate a video about how you clean your guns

[@wayneduchscherer4676]

It appears you are using 3M PPS 1.0 series filter in blue so I assume you are using water borne paint.I believe if it were solvent paint you would be using white filters. Question: If you are using solvent paint but only have blue filters is this a problem or should one just remove the blue filter screen and then just use normal papers filters? Thanks.

[@GarageNoise]

I am using solvent paint. I don't know why I'm using the blue. Is one for solvant and one for waterborne? I know the micron filter size is different.

[@wayneduchscherer4676]

@@GarageNoise Yes the blue is 125 micron for water born and the white is 200 microns for solvent.This applies both for 3M original 1.0 Legacy and the new 2.0 series cups and liners. Does not seem to causing you any issues but some say to cut the blue filter out and just use old paper filters...

[@wayneodonnell8847]

Chris what size air line to the gun do you run ?

[@GarageNoise]

3/8, appreciate the comment and support!

[@jameswilliams8252]

What were the gun settings on the base and clear

[@Danno74Z]

Chris, Can one clear an entire car with the FC120? Difference between spot panel clear vs full car clear?

[@GarageNoise]

Finish 1 makes a over all clearcoat the fc720 the difference in a overall and a spot panel fc710 is that it cure a bit slower in order for you to paint a full vehicle and still have good flow while painting. Appreciate your comment and support!

[@shortyred60]

Is 70% isopropyl alcohol safe to use undiluted on cars? Some say no on the clear coat.

[@GarageNoise]

Yeah it's ok on clear coat. I wouldn't use it on fresh clear but after it's cured no problem.

[@johannvanderschyff7735]

If using a lvlp gun, why do you use high psi? You use 25psi and 30 to 35 psi. Is that normal for single stage or is that for base coat and clear coat only. Thank you

[@movaughn20]

I always feel the grit of sealer, and think, that's going to soak up the paint, not matching sanded area? Just an opinion. I mostly watching the texture, weather it's base, clear, latex in a home spraying. All about consistence for a flat uniform finish. I leave some gun cleaner in the gun, between sprays and for storage. Is this a bad idea?

[@JoseSIMENTAL-pm2jq]

Buenos. Vídeos.

[@GarageNoise]

Thanks brother!

[@johannvanderschyff7735]

Why do you not spay in a criss cross pattern? I am new to spraying so sorry for the stupid question

[@nashcodm2831]

Rate the lvl guns that you use from best to worst ❤??

[@GarageNoise]

I have l5 lvlp guns from different sellers but they're all the same gun just rebranded. The a610 and the yt-160 do have a updated appearance but the same gun internals. I like the yt-160 the best just because the color cleans up better that the black a610.

[@jhenson5168]

Not so be that smart ass commenter, but sealer would have saved you all the hassle you endured painting this silver.

[@GarageNoise]

I didn't really have any hassle. Unless you mean the solvent fisheyes. That is just something that can happen and it happens with sealer too. I'm not apposed to using sealer just sometimes it's not necessary. Appreciate the comment and support!

[@jhenson5168]

After primer, we wet sand to 800, then grey scuff pad with presto scuff stuff. Then sealer, especially with silver we soft pad 1000 on the sealer, alcohol then wipe, tack rag, then spray 2 coats of base then drop coat. Sealer isn’t always necessary, but using the correct sealer will make silver base match near perfectly.

[@GarageNoise]

[@clifffollett4360]

Did you not mix any hardener in the base?
