One of the most useful bits of advice I got from your channel in regards to painting in an open environment is simple but also game changing when you become aware of it "Bury the dirt!" Keep putting on the clear. I used to do 2.5 coats then light wetsand and buff everything. Now, depending on the solids of the clear, I am doing 3 or even 4 coats if its thinner clear. With 10 to 15 mins between coats. Have a lot less dirt visible to clean up. Now i can just hit the individual nibbies and buff small areas. Unless its a classic, then it gets the full treatment. But the dailies? The Beep Bops? This works👍

@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 Yeah man. I came across your videos because I just picked up a beater 06 Corolla that’s faded I wanted to make it look better so I’ve been watching “cheap paint job” videos for weeks. I’m actually from New Cumberland Pa. Was curious if I could get ahold of you for a basic paint job and you can make a video if ya wanted.

I'd be curious for you to try some PDR. Try using their high strength gluing to pull without having to add heat to that panel. When I had a shop we tried it as an experiment and quickly found ourselves using the PDR guy to the point he was on the roster for many jobs. The turn around, sanding, prepping time was reduced significantly. He'd get it straight and we would do the chips and blends. 😅 Do a full detail, Vac and had many happy customers.

Why choose a fiberglass filler over say a Evercoat which a lot of people brag about? How do you compare the Speedo Coat? with Dolphin? I watch a lot videos about placing fillers over epoxy primer but you place over bare metal? Because of the fiberglass? Thanks
