Good job. I had never painted a car or body parts in 30 years and at least 25 cars I've owned. This past week I painted my teenage son's Impreza in an open carport on gravel and dirt ground. I figured out what works for my area (western Colorado). I did 5 and 7 light to medium-wet coats on a whole car, over 4 sessions without fail. Apply and let dry for 15 (minimum) to 20 (maximum) minutes between coats and it works fine for the paints I used. You should spray two small test areas with all environmental/time factors the same before the actual project. For example, if you have an area to spray that takes 10 minutes to paint it, wait and warm-up/shake your next can(s) for 5 minutes and start the next coat. That's a total of 15 minutes. I know up to 20 minutes is also good. But 40 minutes was too long because that induced chemical reactions and severe wrinkling. I painted in the same order/pattern each time I sprayed a section. I had zero runs, spray errors, or reaction defects. The original paint condition was below average. No body rust, but 50% of clear coat was gone and hunter green was faded and rock chips galore. Below is the weather, process and paint I used. 1. Up to 3-mph occasional breeze is okay, anything faster or constant is to be avoided. Clear skies, for light, preferred. 20% to 40% humidity. Temperature between 50F and 72F while spraying. Warmed spray cans in hot water in a bucket. Shake them as much as possible. Paints used on sides, nose and rear (3 sections): -- Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Gloss Navy Blue 2X Paint + Primer: 1 medium-wet coat. -- Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Enamel Gloss Navy Blue: 2 medium-wet coats. -- Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Enamel Crystal Clear coat: 2 light coats + 2 medium-wet coats. I think a 5th coat could be applied with no problems. Paints used on hood, roof and hatchback (1 section): -- Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Gloss Black 2X Paint + Primer: 2 coats. -- Rust-Oleum Universal Hammered Black: 3 coats (4th coat optional). ***Color dries gloss dark grey with blackish specs, not solid black. 2. Sanded car with 100 and 150 grit dry paper by hand, with a scrubby dish sponge as the pad to fold the paper around. First, I sanded high defect/damaged spots...double their original size. Then I sanded vertically and again horizontally (cross hatched) the whole car. 3. From this point forward you must walk carefully to protect from dirt contamination...do not drag or scuff the ground. Wet the surrounding area to help keep dust out of air. Douse car with hot water and wipe down with rags. Let air dry 30 minutes. Check that all areas are smooth/scuffed well...touch up as needed. Wash with hot water+dish soap and rags/sponge. Rinse well. Dry with microfiber. Air dry 15 minutes. Tape up as necessary. 10 to 15 minutes before paint spraying use a microfiber cloth and lighter fluid or mineral spirits (same thing) to wipe down the section to be painted. Immediately before painting wipe all surface with a tack cloth. As you're spraying move slowly and don't scuff the ground. 4. Even in the open air you will want to use a painting respirator, but at minimum cover nose and mouth with thick damp cloth or N95/N100 face mask. Clear, tight fitting safety eye glasses work best...the larger goggles reflect light and make wet paint difficult to see clearly. I had to go without eye cover and just squinted my eyes when the paint spray was thick, because goggles distorted the light. 5. It will take these paint formulas 3+ hours to dry to firm finger touch so leave it alone for 5 hours. I let it dry 24 hours in the carport and then put it in the Sunlight for 2 more days before driving. At 25 to 30 days I'll polish and wax it. If you want to see pics drop me your email and I'll send you a couple.

Lolol funny good luck finding a color match

[@Kushology]

@@chantelrhine8965 You know places like Home Depot, CT and etc will colour match to the T? I've had paint gallons and spray cans done in the past. I had a BMX done Monster Green and Rockstar yellow. Also, more automotive places can just grab the paint code for a make/model and make it for you.. He said it in the video, that's literally what they did.

the best results that I have had was by following the Magic Painter Method (i found it on google) without a doubt the no.1 info i've tried.

There are several factors in getting a good result. One resource I found which successfully combines these is the Magic Painter Method (check it out on google) definately the most helpful info i've seen. Check out this awesome site.

[@bigmacklargefries]

What your forgetting to mention is base fades over time. So get the base colour matched and base the whole pannel on last coat then clear. Is not going to blend properly any way unless it's an exact colour match. And have fun with metallics out of a rattle can.

Hey Dave - Excellent Video. I have a question - does this mean I can do a DIY/Home car resto paint job using the safer 1K for all layers, and then take it to a spray booth to do a 2K clear and it will be just as awesome as doing 2K for each layer as you still get your UV resistance and toughness of 2K in the last clear layer?

[@waffle_chair9269]

Wow, 3 years, still no answer from these guys? 😂

Great detailed video. Thank you. I am going to paint a large car with rattle cans (1970 300 Chrysler Convertible) I'm concerned that because it's so large it will take too long to get get my topcoat on before base dries. Should I just do each section individually or try to work faster. The rear quarter panels are connected as one large piece around the trunk so concerned as it's not separate pieces

[@bobs5290]

Great Video easy to understand got a question for you sprayed a door panel with a metalic green ,a dark colour looked pretty good ,then used a basic clear coat put 3 coats on when I buffed and polished it looked OK but close up in sunlight it has a blueish tint, dont want to keep like this probably start again paint and clear coat ,what do you think ?

[@doc-holiday]

Very straight forward and so easy to understand. Great tutorial. Thank you for the helpful tips.

I’ve had a scenario where I have laid my 2k clear (in a can) and have had those clear line solvents shown in 12:40 and never disappeared.

I hope my question doesn’t get lost in the comments. I WILL USE CAPS TO GET YOUR ATTENTION! I noticed at 5:30 you said that you would simply apply scuffing paste to the part of the panel that you had not yet sanded or primed. So here is my question. I have a panel, already painted, and I just want to paint it another color. Do I have to prime this panel or can I just use some scotch brite? Thanks in advance! Please answer!

I’m going to be spray painting an old project car I’ve been working on. 2001 Nissan Altima. The entire hood is rusted. However it’s fairly new rust. The hood was replaced with a new one that came primed but just never got the time to get around to painting it until now. It was replaced about a year ago and only had been rusted for the last few months. I plan to sand the entire car and going to spray it with rustoleum spray paint. I don’t really care TOO much on how to turns out. As long as it looks better than it does now. With a rusted hood and the clear coat chipping and fading on the roof and some spots around the entire car. Any tips?? If you read this I guess.

[@modzz8319]

Hey mate thanks for the diy video! I've got little bit faded clear coat on bonnet - Can you use metal cover epoxy enamel (from SCA or Bunnings) directly onto sanded paint or even body filler as your "base", and then clear coat? Not fussed about matching the paint to the rest of the body, or blending the paint, as this car is 15yo nugget. Cheers

Any issues with using different branded base coat and clear coat? Say a Dupli color base coat and Spraymax 2k clear?

I'm pretty sure you're fine using that. I'm using the Dupli brand too.

[@satohoki]

Hi, I’ve just watched your video of you using rattle cans, leaving a very professional finish & making it look so easy, thank you. But if you have 1 cm wide strips to body fill the deep chips, then paint, what’s the easiest way to deal with narrow, difficult areas? (It’s a Vespa foot plate groves, if that helps?) I’d appreciate any advice you can give me, please? Many thanks. Tom.

[@simonexcell6496]

Thanks .great . When you are fading is it basically just stopping/ Pulling can away before shut line or end of panel

[@mediummonkey7553]

is it a good idea to do a light polish on the top coat before applying clear coat? I polished a bit of the top coat (haven't applied clear yet) and it looks alot more shiny. Should this shine be only achieved from clear coat or its ok to polish top coat then polish clear coat after application?

[@VANDWELLINGPRO]

NO ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Now you need to resand it with 600 grit and then clean it good with alcohol or something and then spray your clear

Awesome! Hands down the BEST video I've seen on how to blend in a repair. Thank you! Unfortunately, my van's slider door requires some rust/paint repair on all 4 sides, so I will have to paint edge to edge. Light blue metallic. I have a very good paint match based on my test card. Should I paint edge to edge and see what the butt match looks like, then go back to blending into the adjacent panels (rear qtr panel and front door) if noticeable? Or just blend from the start?

[@modaufygarage]

Great video and I’m thinking to attempt the scratches on a Subaru that I own. Just a quick question, can I use 2k paint outside a spray booth? Or if I am using a garage to paint am I better off with a 1k paint then sanding and buffing?

[@watsupgardeners4023]

I believe 2k is better for outside cause you can sand it down better and then clear coat it again

[@lesfox2010]

Hey Dave, spotted you in a local Service NSW joint a couple of weeks ago. You looked a bit busy, so didn't want to be rude. Would've said hi otherwise. Knew it was you, surprising how different folks look on camera sometimes. Enjoy your vids, find them very informative.

[@waffle_chair9269]

Would like to see when the hard edge around the wheel is fixed so that it’s sharp again. In this it’s sanded and the edge is rounded more than it should be, so you’ll be able to see the repair more obviously . Wish you guys were in Melbourne. Would be great to go in and learn off you guys.

Hello Dave. Thanks for making another great video on how to do a great job painting with Spray cans.

So between your accent, how fast you speak and that echo I can't pick up some of the words you are speaking. Thank you

[@owendowling5639]

Would you always clear the whole panel? Have heard of spot blender, any experience with that stuff?

[@customspraymods]

You can blend clear but I would only recommend that on small parts like a bumper or top rail.

[@beamtweez1210]

Can I ask you, if the surface area is a small burn mark only from the buffer. Can I get away with 1500/2000 wet dry and paint base only 3 times then clear?

Awesome vid. I got a vz commodore ute and the clear coat is fading on the roof. its a gloss black and just wondering what rattle can would you recommend for the gloss black. Cheers

Since you blend to the panel edge to the door isn't the clear coat age going to show between the 2 pannels? For example my quarter panel got repaint but they didn't blend my bumper and I can easily see the tone difference.

[@jonathanritter7364]

I am about to tackle a few small repairs on my truck. But instead of clearing the whole panel again I was going to clear just the repair area and use a clear coat blender to blend the new clear with the old. Have you ever done it this way? Im expecting to have to sand and polish afterwards which is totally fine. I just polished the whole truck last weekend and it looks great. Just got a few small scratches that were too deep.. plus rock chips on my hood. Thanks for the video and I'm hoping to hear back from you. Thanks!

[@timbradt5765]

Been 2 years but this might help someone else - I wouldn't do it. My results trying to blend in clear when I didn't know better - well it proved his point exactly that you'll see a line and I'm needing to sand down and repaint then clear the whole thing. ALL the pros I've watched say clear the whole panel. I would do that if you want it to look right. Not worth having to do it all over again. Trust me. :)

[@drpiv]

Great video. I have tried to follow these steps but I end up with terrible cracks in my paint over time, looks like a dried up mud puddle. I have attempted to avoid all of the potential causes for this. I don’t know if I’m putting the paint on too thick, not allowing enough time between coats, or too much time. Any thoughts? The cracking is intense.

[@timbradt5765]

I've had this problem a couple of times myself. I'm 99% sure it has happened when I've gone overboard and sprayed way too thick on a 3rd coat. The thickness of the last coat on top of tacky prior coats reacts and causes the wrinkles. My conclusions after a fair amount of projects is never spray outside when windy (dry spray), never in humid weather (milky/cloudy), don't go too thick and instead rely on 50% overlap and multiple coats. Much better to go with a 3rd coat than spray on too thick. Also don't get too close.

[@joed1244]

Is buffing paste just a liquid Compound that you rubbed the panel down along with the scotch pad?

[@flipper2473]

Hello if I had any orange peel after 2 k clear coat, how long do I wait to polish and buff? Thanks

What would change in the procedure with doing a base coat, then mid coat like with say VW Oryx White?

If that's a pearl colour. Not much just spray the white first then the pearl on top. Could be 4 coats of pearl.. 👍

[@Sam590ss]

If I do notice a contaminated area, is it best to finish that coat before sanding? Or, can I stop mid-coat and let what I've done dry then sand?

I think it's excess of paint but not quite sure. Thanks again.

If you polish it it won’t be flat anymore. The only way with flat finishes is to sand and re paint.

It is silver (one of the hardest colours to match), and I don't really want to pay a fortune for a panel beater to repair it.

Is the High Build Primer you used a DTM primer? If it’s DTM, explain why you did not first sand down to bare metal. Also, I recently purchased a can of Finish-Rite Coatings High Build Primer Dark Gray 14.75oz FR765. However, the info on can says this is a DTM. I also read that Rus toleum Self Etching Primer is a DTM and that it says one can apply base coat over it. But, I’ve seen several vidros where the tech says you cannot apply Base paint over Self Etching Primer. 🤷‍♂️ So what’s I have a small panel scratch repair job where I’ve sanded down to bare metal, then apply 1-2 Coats of Rustoleum Self-Etching Primer on DTM, should I or can then apply Finish-Rite Coatings High Build Primer Dark Gray 14.75oz FR765, even though it says it DTM? Seems like much confusing a conflicting info.

Next time I’ll order my paint from you. I’m really confused because I thought I was buying all enamel spray initially, but when I read the fine print on two of them they say acrylic enamel.

Good video. I've seen the 2k clear in a can for sale but have been put off because I was unsure about the health and safety aspects. I have a spray mask with A1B1 filters if that means anything. Is that ok for 2k work. I only paint occasionally and on motorcycle stuff, fuel tanks etc Any other PPE recommended for working with 2k?

17th September 2021. Super crazy outside now with COVID all of NSW in lockdown. Perfect time for some DIY and catching up on your vids. Cheers for keeping me saine

Great tips. If people are looking for a good clear coat from Bunnings. I used Dulux Duramax crystal clear the other day, several light coats then a wet coat. It really is crystal clear, super shinny & drys quick. $12 a can. I'd been using Rustolium products, but the Duramax paints are a far better paint in my opinion. The only problem I had, is I couldn't get a dark bottle green. So had to use Rustolium Hunter Green base coat, the darkest they had. That still wasn't dark enough. It seems a really dark green is something the paint companies could work on.

If you already have a primed body part do you sand it or wax and grease remove it ? Or just go straight to the paint

sameer hussian if you have repairs under the primer you should sand the primer then wax and grease it before paint.

[@estherlemus3276]

You don't have to wet sand it with 2000 before applying the clear coat? Or is it fine just spraying the clear after applying the base coat/paint?

I have a semi related question - can you scuff up a glossy clear coat to a haze, then respray with a satin or matte clear? Thinking in a wheel application mainly.

[@daveo3537]

How long will the clear be good? Will it peel quicker than if it was done with a gun?

[@Matan2222222]

Can I clean oils and grease with Naphtha before painting?

[@blackblastgaming1381]

If you use 1k clear coat, do you sand and buff it to make it as glossy as 2k paint

Hi, would love to see you mix and shoot a custom light satin rose gold paint on rims. Seems like no one in Australia knows how to make this particular colour...
