I was a PPG Certified Automotive Refinish Technician for 46 years ( just retired last Nov.) and it you think making a repair job slick is making you a great painter you are sadly mistaken ( only maybe on a complete) but matching OEM orange peal is striving to be the best refinisher out there , making the vehicle look like its never been repaired it the ideal refinish job!!! Walking up to a repaired vehicle and seeing a few slick panels around a OEM pealy vehicle looks bad ! I Sprayed Aquabase for over 16 years , was one of the first in my town to switch , made color matching and spraying so easy . All I can say is I sure do not miss it as the Insurance companies ruined the trade over 20 years ago !!!! You guys have it easy today , you should have tried matching color in the single stage days where the mottling was so fun to get rid of ....LOL Was glad to see when PPG came out with DBU and DBC solvent base coat back in the day , made color matching much easier .

Great video Marco, it's hard to split the two panels really but the Speedokote base defiantly covered better than the other one your mate was using, as for the clear it was really close but again yours looked a little flatter but that could be due to how the sealer was applied. Talking about fisheyes I think you are right, I haven't had them for a couple of years but last week I got them in two panels🤔I think this is a worldwide conspiracy by all car manufactures to put the refinishers in the world out of business 🤷♂🤫🤣😉John UK

@@JasonBackes- just look on the can and see what the mix ratio is supposed to be or best is online at the Tech sheet. Get some paint cups and follow the chart. If you can’t afford them it’s no big deal. Use an empty soda bottle or something. If the mix ratio is say 2:1 then fill it halfway up and add the hardener until it’s 3/4 full. It doesn’t have to be anywhere near precise. 4:1 is halfway full then about 2 -3 splashes of hardener.

..Well done my man..!! I always say that PSI in the 30's is better than PSI in the 20's..!! ( depends on what you have to achieve of course.) but I would say that generally, a high CFM and high PSI (+ Viscosity ) leads to the most fantastic atomized finish. I really like watching "The Dutch car painter." He sprays with high PSI and you can just "Hear" the difference straight away, and his finishes are just amazing. Well worth a watch. Good luck with the rest of your painting career. Protect yourself at all times.

You will hands down get burned many times by customers of all types in the first 5 years. Always keep your bills low and cash in the bank for those times. Tire kickers and time wasters will consume your entire day. It’s hard to be the receptionist, panel beater, painter and polishing guy at once. All while balancing the books and ordering parts.

Tom- you will not regret slapping some clear on their if you plan on keeping the truck. Clear stops UV rays from chalking the paint and helps prevent peeling. The hardest part of any paint job is the prep. You’re already going to be there spraying the color. Just imagine adding 3 more coats of color but it’s clear. 1st coat go very light, a tack coat. Then second coat medium wet, third coat a good solid coat with not many dry spots and be careful on vertical panels you don’t get any runs, overlapping. Always have a wall mounted light to bounce your eye off as you spray following the wet edge. Top surfaces you can slam the clear on with small chance of runs.
