Rust spot repair video? Love your work and I appreciate the longer videos.

[@cvrpov]

I try and avoid rust mate. That truck video was rust.

[@denisconor648]

Great job.

Another quality video mate

[@cvrpov]

Thankyou

[@henrikbacke-hansen7365]

Great video. Do you have a video detailing how you setup the spray gun for a smart repair?

[@cvrpov]

Not yet but its on the list

[@henrikbacke-hansen7365]

Super video. Are you using primer straight on the bumper without using adhesion promotor?

[@cvrpov]

Yes, i do recommend using an adhesion promotor tho

[@kevinglennon2370]

Wonderful job! Thank you for the video!

[@cvrpov]

No problem. Glad you like my content

[@MrEddyz1]

It would be brilliant if you could make a detailed video for when a rear arch body line is all full of low and high spots. Filler work, primer, how to recreate the arch line etc. 👌

[@cvrpov]

I'll bear that one in mind 👍🏼

Great video top job love the work

[@cvrpov]

Thanks bud

[@mreightytwenty8709]

Great Love to see a tour and set up of your van mate

[@cvrpov]

Needs a refit out ill probably do a vid on that

[@joecachia8647]

Hi joe from Malta, first thanks for your best job but what is the reason polishing before the whole work? thanks

[@cvrpov]

It helps remove tar contaminants and doing work at lots of car sales garages u get in the Habbit of doing it to remove any polishes waxes and silicone put on by valeters

[@kingcarper6511]

Hey mate do you only paint the repaired area but laqur the hole panel.also how long to you leave each coat to dry before the next thanks mate

[@cvrpov]

Yes pretty much. Always obviously make the lacquer area larger than the base/colour area. Apply 2nd coat when 1st coat is tacky... touch surrounding areas to gauge it

[@emre5817]

Very helpfull video! Did you sand the base coat before clear coat? Thanks

[@cvrpov]

No i didn't. 3 coats of base with tac cloth inbetween then lacquer

[@poxdaccy]

did you spray the entire bumper with base coat or just the primed areas?

[@cvrpov]

Just the primed area and then a bit further to blend the white base in

[@husky1232]

Glad I found your channel very good and informative I would like to get in touch with you some time if its possible thank you for the video

[@cvrpov]

No problem

[@AUDIS23456]

Hi Great videos really helpful When sanding panels with scotch or 2000 paper for prep or lacquer flattening what soap do you use with water as some contain silicon I was told?? Thanks for help in advance

[@cvrpov]

I just use normal car wash soap bud.

[@pablo123b]

Can you do a video showing how to calculate ratios of paint mixing at some point? hang on wife said she is leaving cos im watching your videos again...lol

[@cvrpov]

Yes i will

[@jakovbrnic1892]

Nice video, what lamps are you using for paint and can you do a tour of your van and al the tools you carry?

[@cvrpov]

I use infra red lamps mate. Not sure what the brand is as I've had them for years and they were second hand anyway

[@adrianphotovisions2308]

Great video, thanks. What gun settings do you use?

[@cvrpov]

All dials out

[@stringsnare]

CVR POV, what kind of portable compressor should i get? and gun recommendation? i dont know what to get

[@stringsnare]

nvrmnd you got all the links!

[@cvrpov]

Abac 90 litre is what I used

[@cvrpov]

👍🏻

[@stringsnare]

how are you liking the zv-1 camera?

[@cvrpov]

Really like it. I've got a bit lazy using my phone but i want to get back on the proper camera now I have a new computer for editing

[@lewigas290]

Ditto the previous comments. Love the longer vids. Just as a matter of interest how long do you leave the infra red lights on for. Is there some temperature which cannot be exceeded or is it all a bit of trial and error? Is there a point at which the paint burns? Thanks just curious and thinking of investing in some 👍

[@cvrpov]

I have a temperature sensor that you point at the panel and reads the heat that is projecting from the panel. Usually from 50-75 degrees is a suitable dryiny temperature, 60 is optimum. Each lacquer has different requirements but mine is around 15mins at 60.00 in each section.

[@lewigas290]

CVR POV That’s great info and thank you. Looking forward to the next vid already 👍

[@kridcal0]

What would you suggest if the color code of the car doesn’t match the actual touch up paint?

[@cvrpov]

Not sure why that would happen

[@atomicdetailsoc]

could i follow this and do this on a bmw with alpine white 300? or will other white paints work?...great content keep it coming pls

[@cvrpov]

It should be exactly the same process

[@fmautomotive3957]

Great work 👏. What primer do you use?

[@cvrpov]

I use a 1k primer and 2k primers

[@fmautomotive3957]

@@cvrpov thanks, is it high build? Brand? Many thanks, nice channel

[@scottbacon2097]

What pressure and mixture settings are you using on the Pro lite? Just got the same gun and setup, would be interesting to k ow. Currently using a 1.2 TE05 SRI PRO LITE. Too small for larger jobs?

[@cvrpov]

I usually have the pressure pretty high. Dials are fully out. Maybe I would change this if I was inside but it works for me outside in the outdoor environment. My pro lite is the 1.3 and does small to medium jobs pretty easily and bigger jobs also. A 1.2 might struggle

[@kassifhussain6781]

How much do you charge for something like this and what areas do you cover?

[@cvrpov]

Prices vary mate and not taking bookings currently but I cover Derbyshire areas

[@t0mbolone]

Hello, can i ask you, what u use for wipe after sanding primer? thanks

[@cvrpov]

panel wipe

[@samcollinson2141]

Which paint system do you use and where do you go to get your tinters?

[@cvrpov]

Debeer solvent from the local paint factors near me

[@luisnadalllobregat549]

@@cvrpov Why do you use solvent-based paint and not water?

[@Matt_3535]

Definitely another amazing work but it's nearly impossible to keep these professional equipments at home as I'm not a car painting professional. Compressor, paint gun, liquid paint, clear lacquer, sandpapers, nylon bag to cover a car, heating lights and etc :) I guess, most of amateurs can only fix minor scratches. In my opinion, Body painting needs these equipments and too much experience.

[@cvrpov]

It was a beginners guide to car spraying as in beginner to the industry

[@Irfan-or9sd]

Did you flat it down with P2000 or P1500 prior to polishing

[@cvrpov]

1500 wet and dry paper followed by 2000 abralon wet foam discs on the orbital sander

[@Irfan-or9sd]

@@cvrpov thank you Can you do a video on how to mix paint please

[@mreightytwenty8709]

Hi any reason you used 800 dry soft pad, as you usually use 600 grit wet and dry after primer? Thanks

[@cvrpov]

If its just for minor feathering then 800 soft works pretty well

[@Irfan-or9sd]

Could you recomend a good polishing pad

I use any orange stiff pads really. Don't worry too much about brands etc

Great video, but a shame you didnt include the POV of the polishing stage :(

Ok

[@bevant8275]

Nice vid, but i must of misplaced my van with all the pro gear in it. 😏

[@cvrpov]

The process is the same though..just use aerosol

[@jimnz17]

Hi mate, what PSI at the gun for base and gloss?

[@cvrpov]

I spray at about 2 bar for base and 2.5-3 for lacquer

[@georgefnkl]

What laquer do you use ?

[@cvrpov]

Diamond clear from express paints

[@georgefnkl]

CVR POV cheers bud drying times and gloss levels ok ?

[@cvrpov]

10-15 mins drying and yes holds up well

arent you afraid of overspray over your truck?

Part and parcel of the job is the van becoming a cheese grater

If that was my car on the drive 2 houses away I would go crazy with the overspray all over it not good practice

I got a feeling u can't just go out and do this it's needs practice on loads of cars first

Gotta start somewhere!
