Dipping a Car w/ a FIRST TIME USER (Coaching Him Through EVERY STEP)

[@dipyourcar]

What a fun project! Anyone getting ready to dip their first car soon?

[@MidniteSan]

Done my motor oil 😂

[@tarzzan504ify]

I have a 2013 Camaro ZL1 I want to dip and I just ordered my spray gun, how many gallons for the perfect coating to peel off when I want to switch colors?

[@navjotsarkaria]

Why not to dip window trim , i have seen all of your videos you never dip window trim ! Why so?

[@crosisofborg5524]

i am about to go for it

[@SirLiveGaming]

DipYourCar going to dip my 2018 Chevy Malibu soon. This video was amazing for me

[@Corneilus123]

Everyone at DYC looks like they work out or ready at any given time to work out. Fonzie: 20 push ups go!

[@Chris-vx5kp]

Fonzie's biceps versus a normal person.

[@donaldredline975]

I like the color

[@edgarci101]

I was nervous for him the entire time but he did SUCH a great job for a first timer. I’m proud of him!

[@k2soljaz]

This is by far the best video you’ve done for information regarding first time painters 👍

It takes a very patient teacher not to be yelling, Close, Faster, Slower, 50-50 dude. LOL. It's a true struggle for first timers to learn and even I after so many dips I still have to struggle to stay on the line.

[@gerardocamacho9994]

Is much more easier to edit a video.

[@lordvrouxgames7332]

Imagine training as a machinist lmao

[@apike_72]

You’re such a patient teacher, and he did such an amazing job for his first time!! It’s always fun watching someone learn something new! Great video :)

[@AnonDrewT]

This video here is what sold me on “I can do this too!” Great example of how forgiving it can be when you just simply follow instructions. Well done, guys!

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Hands down...this has got to be one of my favorite dip video you put out. Awesome to see a first timer dipper. I can definitely relate!

[@getoutofthetimetrap5435]

The satisfaction level as a teacher to teach a willing student and a student to learn by making mistakes and later become a teacher themselves never gets old. Love to see it . Patience respect and discipline are the key.

[@bevieboo13]

What I love about this video is you literally see his confidence grow as he progressed with the spraying. In the beginning it was gentle and apprehensive. Then by the time he did the first layer of color, you see the movements becoming more fluid and consistent with the speed of the swipes. Great job!! I think I sense a promotion for this guy to help out with spraying in future videos (after more practice). 😬😉

[@coryransdell6000]

That kind you for this show all video…Has given me more confidence and will definitely be a future customer….I think he did a great job for his first time and you are a great teacher which helps a lot…..👏👏👍

[@DarNico]

Bravo Fonzie. That's the way to get your people more involved. You can see him becoming more and more comfortable as he went along. Excellent

[@joshuasummers1927]

I think that this is by far the best video for beginners. i liked how the process was shown in stages and being able to see a first time user do this and what to expect as you go. I have not dipped my car yet but have been watching for some time now learning everything that i can.

[@zreiser]

You know that looks freaking great! The couple issues Fonzie pointed out are totally forgivable on a 1st time project, and the quality of the finished car is a testament to not only the product, but the instructions given.

[@caraddictmotorsports]

I like how he was so cautious in removing the tape and drape and you just yank it off lol As usual, awesome video 👍🏼

[@kenlaw04]

He did great for his first job, he really encouraged me to finally paint my car and I’ve been dipping wheels and accessories for years. Will be purchasing a kit ASAP.

[@simcptmike]

This is incredible!! Just what i need before attempting to fully dip my own car for my first time. I'm so glad that any small mistakes he made were included. Those are mistakes i could have made as well. I got to see how they were identified and fixed. Thank you so much guys!!!

[@victoriababer3380]

This was so helpful and way more informative than most videos for DIY’ers

[@savage_han]

I think Steve did a phenomenal job! Good job Steve

[@sirBR4DFORD]

as someone who is seriously looking at dipping, this is such a informative video and super cool to watch a first timer do it so i know what to except. shout out to the bro for a mean job

[@kristyannemaynard7359]

Wow, you guys are great teachers - clear instructions, patient, setting up realistic expectations... and your student is very receptive, and applies correction quickly. Oh, that all classrooms had this environment.

[@krissysxi4808]

Well done Steve! And DYC.... that was an amazing way to demonstrate the first time dipper process. Well done, truly inspired

[@souljamob1tv]

This may very well be the best video I have seen on youtube. I'm about to paint my car and this was highly educational. You are a great teacher and I'm sure you could take any novice and make them a professional in record time. I think I'd love this as a career. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.👍👍👍👍

[@tomvo387]

I was kind of hoping that at the end you would give Steve something cool. One, for his 5 years with your company... Thats loyalty! And two, he killed that job!! Great video!!

[@dipyourcar]

Who says I didn’t.. 😊

[@tomvo387]

Well damn! Steve! Steve! Steve! Lol

[@iamthemaninde]

He did an awesome job... Great video to show that anyone who's not a painter should be able to paint their own vehicle 👍👍👍 GREAT JOB STEVE !!!

[@daveanandmannie142]

I'm no professional by any stretch of anyone's imagination but I do paint my car, my moms, and my dads ( my dad's car almost bi-yearly he likes changing colours up often) so Ive gotten the hang ( at least imo) pretty well. I think he did a really good job if he is new to doing this. well done. Good teacher too. my dad lost his voice first time i started spraying my car xD

[@HoosierTechGuys]

I have bought multiple kits for wheels, even getting my friends to let me dip their wheels. Now you have sold me on doing my car. I really appreciate you guys doing the tutorials you have! It doesn't just help we the consumer, it helps you guys sell more product. Thank you very much for it all! BTW peeling of the dip is one of the most satisfying deconstruction there is. hahaha

[@sylvialategan6345]

Fantastic teaching job Fonzie

[@simonmuddimer]

Hey fonzy, when you were talking about the masking being important, my dad always used to say "Always use the 6 P's" "Proper Preperation Prevents Piss Poor Performance" an I use that principal to this day... well done he did so well, keep doing what you're doing, Take care from the UK

[@sldierboy]

Awesome to see you guys do this. Showing what it’s like for first time users with an inside view on what to do and expect. Keep up the great work and stop flexing so hard lol. Gainz for dayz....

[@dantedoescars]

Great job Steve! I swear watching it I was yelling at my tv “get it Steve” multiple times when he got to the color coats!

[@CrackedSociety]

Everything that looks easy is harder to do and everything that looks hard to do is easy. Great teacher, great student, excellent video thank you fellows!

[@keenanblatherwick5414]

Mistakes happen no matter what. Never going to be a perfect project! Car looks great for a first timer! Nice job Steve! Also great job teaching Fonzie! Hopefully I can get my car done in the near future!

[@frankiefigzz1]

Great instructions. Cool color and good job.

[@stevol2006]

Fonzie, your boy crushed it!

[@ozarkscarguy540]

Very informative video. I'm glad you all did this. Fonzie makes the process look so easy. Also very good teacher. It's easy to correct someone constantly or micro manage. I like that he was allowed to make some mistakes. It shows him how he can do better and shows how user friendly the product is. 👍

[@daveducheny5411]

I agree with other comments, this was a great video, not sure I'd say best but, one that I will watch again. You mentioned that although with a good tape job you shouldn't run into any bridging but things happen. Looks like Steve didn't have any problems, I've had several. I'm curious to know what you would do if you had some bridging where you weren’t expecting it? Razor blade to cut it? Or is there a different way? I've also not had any luck with the "peel when wet" I was thankful for the little more explanation you had in this video. I'm going to try it again to see if I understand the process better. Thanks for all the info!

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

Looks great. I dipped the fairings on my KTM, and since I followed directions they came out perfect. Take the time to learn, practice and prep and you'll get great results.

[@joshuamendoza455]

He picked a Awesome color for the car. Great job!

[@RTCommuter]

Thank you, great job for his first time! This will definitely help me when it comes time for my first dip!

[@miguelortiz6752]

When he cracked his firt smile i was there with him like yes i can do this a very motivating video nice job guys i love this product 👍

[@vesselrae]

been watching because the colours are so nice looking -your community is so nice and yall are really patient and lovely and super skilled people!! great stuff!!

[@paulahrendt1766]

Great job teaching ! Loved this video. I've done masking & primer coats, but not color before. So I really enjoyed this video

[@HDS420]

I think that's an amazing job for a first time. Way to go!!

[@TheAaronmallen]

OMG… Bravo Fonzi!!! I painted cars when I was Young and I’ve wished to find a video like this!!! Thank You!!! DYC University Here I Come…. 😎

[@maihimetekingi2214]

Just a great video to learn from, excellent tutoring and although I skipped parts of the masking I'll be able to repeat watch to get that important step right.

[@jnick67a]

Wow, great job Steve. I loved the color you chose. Looks great.

[@aquicktake]

Biggest difference is that Fonzy sweeps his arm side to side and pretty much stands in one spot... the noob keeps his arm in one position and relies on walking back and forth which creates a much more uneven flow/result.

[@aleishastrange9639]

Im definitely doing this on my mazda 6 this is awesome and an awesome video to learn from 💕

[@cblasius77]

This is awesome! You have great patience and it's even better seeing experts share their knowledge hands on. Encouraging me to dip my bike.

[@visualflair]

Great video. Steve did really well on his first dip. Nice color too

[@heatherreich2687]

The ASMR I’m the tape removal is amazing!!! Love the color 💚 what a great teacher and student

[@dmcguire1442]

Great job & coaching style ... people can learn and enjoy learning with that type of instruction. Thank you both.

[@KnowUrEnemy]

I’ve been watching hours of your videos merely in preparation of dipping my front and rear badges (and possibly my chrome door trim)... now I feel confident enough to dip an entire car lol.

[@scoobee9]

You might benefit from a 3m handmasker you can combine tape and plastic of different dimensions or masking paper or just put your pre-combined rolls on and use the correct blade for plastic, which is much sharper than a paper blade.

[@DasAlbatross]

This gave me a lot of confidence. I'm not trying to throw any shade on Steve, but even as a layman I could see him making a lot of mistakes. And I'm sure I won't do any better my first time. But the end result still looked great.

[@razer440]

It looks good for his first time. Way better than I would do. A couple very small errors but again it was his first time. Good job 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jayson2171]

Just goes to show how important the prep work is. Great video and very helpful. Someday I'll definitely give this a go myself.

[@antoniohuertas8909]

For his first time that came out looking really nice 👍🏽 At first I wasn't quite sure of the color, but then when you brought it outside it looks amazing.

[@chrisboyd4433]

I really liked this video. It was good seeing a complete newbie walked through the steps.

[@jdansie]

Can someone answer about the door handles. I've watched a bunch of these but don't recall info there. Are the insides of the door handles more or less just getting overspray? I don't remember seeing the sprayer ever angled to spray in that gap/pocket well. Thx. Great video btw!

[@stevenbelshe2447]

So I’m getting ready to do my first dip and I wanna a with a deep red any suggestions and I’m using a Hvlp gun what tip is recommended??? Love your videos and I can’t wait for more

[@jonnyg7772]

You did a wonderful job! You must be very proud! And you have the best mentor in the industry! Keep up the great work and products !!

[@justinwong3218]

When switching colours, do you need to run water or paint thinner through the gun to clear out any excess of the previous colour? Or is it ok to just continue on with the new colour?

[@Unclekeithspaintshop.]

Why do you never do the roof? Do you find it difficult to do??

[@Bear-yh6cv]

Brilliant video Fonz, that’s what I call a learning curve.

[@nobeliefisok9174]

I have been waiting on a video like this for years! Perfect

[@badmonks]

Good vid. I actually like this better than the 1st person perspective because I would get some motion sickness watching from that perspective. This, for me, is easy to follow and great explanations. Thanks.

[@DavidDummer]

I have a Hemi Orange 09 Challenger. The unknown color mix would really set my car off visually! Not sure how it would look on the orange factory paint though. I thought the color mix was amazing! Love your show!

[@blacsheepcustoms8391]

My first dip was all black spray cans! '01 Jeep Grand Cherokee (top half only, body trim was that nice grey) Great job on your first go 👍

[@Stan630]

Maybe if I was watching this on my 75'' TV I might have seen the first 2 flaws you pointed out but I didn't see those, the one on the windshield was obvious but even that was difficult to see when you pulled back

[@lordyetigaming2768]

The only one i saw without him pointing out the flaws was the white still showing in the wheel arch.

[@FrankieWilliam3]

I love seeing these processes, but its helpful that the eye candy is present on all of these DYC videos too. 😅

[@davidjones702]

Great job Steve..... Awesome teaching skills as well!

[@regregan5755]

I've seen one where the guy just taped the windscreen and back window, just to save dip, and then just sprayed the whole car? He then just peeled the windows, lights, door handles etc, still looked pretty good. Did it in a day and outside even.

[@luvpostrock69]

This was a great video and very helpful. One thing that wasn't covered (maybe it's another video) is what to do between coats. Is the gun/equipment cleaned between coats? Is there a way to "preserve “ the equipment between coats so that time isn't lost while waiting for the equipment to be ready to use when the dip is dry and ready for the next coat? Inquiring minds...

[@Nywindshieldcrackrepair]

Very nice project. I am thinking of dipping my Mazda 5 as painting is too expensive.

[@canoncoyle6026]

Steve killed it. Looks awesome for a first timer

[@dzminiz]

Awesome idea for a video! That green really pops, too.

[@alicianeira5388]

Of course it looks good students always good when we have you as a teacher thanks

[@BagginTea]

I had to pause the video ... Before it even starts, this is my favorite video so far. Well, maybe like top 10. 🙃

[@MrDwaynePoff]

Actual video that helps us out I think... great idea and video!!! So, any help on how to fix the few mishaps? Or would it be non fixable??

[@dustinwhitesell4860]

He did a great job for his first time, I wanted to share a technique that I don’t know if it’s an actual thing but it’s some thing I do. I’m 5‘7“. When it comes to the lower parts it’s easier for me to get low enough to get a good spray. However something I see this guy doing and this is not criticism, I’m just pointing it out so that others can see, he has a very narrow stance. Which is why he’s taking multiple side steps. My advice is widen your stance and rock side to side. When you take steps and pause, you can get a run or an uneven coat. So to minimalize that, just Rock side to side, and when going with the length of the vehicle, plan your steps accordingly so you don’t stutter step or stumble. I cannot remember the guys name in the video for the life of me, but he did a great job, I’m not criticizing him at all, just pointing out something I saw, I was also taught this technique myself.

[@CarCultureBuffet]

Outstanding job! Great coaching! Great first time! What an awesome color! I will be looking into doing this project my 2019 Honda type r!

[@cassandrakahles29]

In the beginning I thought purple, blue or yellow but when it was done I couldn’t pick between purple and white! Very pretty.

[@jeffreyellis5837]

That dip job :O maybe I'm bias because green is my favourite colour. But damn.

[@stephensmith720]

Overall, good job for first timer. As pointed out on video the very few mistakes but was expected. Quality of work gets better with practice. Great job.

[@apathy11303]

I know this will sound crazy but I watched so many of your vids before dipping my car that when I finally dipped my car last weekend, I was humming that tune @36:00 … I know my neighbors probably think I’m crazy, but the car came out good.🎉

[@squirlboy250]

Great video, needs to learn that wrist movement though.

[@thatoneguy7684]

You're a great teacher my man. Keep up the great work. Great job Steve keep at it man practice makes perfect.

[@urbanyeti659]

It was cool seeing him get more comfortable with spraying as time went by.

[@NW_JAX]

Was tough for me to watch the first few coats cause I have been painting for 15years but he did i good job for first time. great video for sure. Should help a lot of people

[@Bull1the1Great]

very good result for a first timer . it just takes practice to get a hang of it . awesome project and very informative . hopefully we see more videos like these with all types of people, be it more skillful, male or female ...

[@aarontownsend1585]

That’s a gorgeous colour, can you film Steve’s part 2?

[@IBTJn]

Great job Steve! Not only it a very cool color choice (IMHO) but turned out absolutely terrific...congrats'! Better plan ahead with a good handful of business cards in your car to hand out. I can certainly see allot of strangers striking up a conversation with compliments & questions. Nicely done.

[@tonistarks2874]

Saw this video and was impressed for the details and prep work outlined very good for a beginner like myself.ive been toying with the idea of painting my own car and learning the craft.I must say it's all about the prep work.but also the paint passes ( not to fast and not too slow) U must b in that zone of just letting ur hand slide side to side with out overthinking it. I will order the beginners paint kit and will check back in after my results.I feel confident that I can do it.Thank u for this video. Other videos I've seen doesn't show u the other angles and detail how do it.😎👍🏼

[@MatrixAlphaCWX]

I bought a few gallons of black and sprayed using my Wagner paint ready station. Exact one you used to use years ago and it sprayed absolutely smooth like butter 🧈. Setting was on 1. But my only problem was what you mentioned once on here. I did get the pixel look to it. I was not sure why. Now I think it’s because my overlapping.

[@teemuhelin5786]

Great video thanks to whole team. This really helps me to become a better dipper😊

[@fotosvideki311]

Best video ever to show them dipping car first. very intresting u show these techniqes but not everyone used this eqipment. my friends used a paintspray bud dind't job well.... this video hows everyone how to used dip for cars. i love this project guys 5*. thanks for all :D from Hungary

[@chrisdorio6750]

Nice, because I am going to tackle mine this weekend.

[@T0YCHEST]

Watched the whole thing it was informative, like.

[@gregverity9533]

Regular Old Plumbus like a train crash you want to turn it off but can’t. I’m loosing money watching it so I’ll have to watch the rest later.
