How To Get A Show Car Paint Job - FLOW COAT For CLEARCOAT

[@reloadnorth7722]

Your direct no nonsense explanations and approach has me watching your videos from start to finish. Thankyou for your knowledge and information.

[@johnjason7204]

Pete you are one of the finest bodymen painters out there...Make customers pay you what you are worth for the finish they want. You have to pay for your materials and labor get what it's worth. If they whine.. take your car elsewhere...you're not a kid starting out....tremendous job on that vw that the owner bad mouthed you

[@kennydaddy100]

Good one!! Makes perfect sense. You only get this kind of knowledge through many years of experience. Our Friend PETE! BRAVO!

[@godfamilycountry4211]

Wow. The tuxedo black is sharp, the mirror finish is do to hands of experience. Thanks for sharing you knowledge. Looks stunning. Can't wait to see the vw completed. Minnie your camera work is awesome. God bless. By the way Pete, you seemed so calm, cool and collected.

[@diyautoschool]

Thanks for watching GFC. What you saw in this video was as complete as it gets here. The customer is finishing it out himself.

[@tylerfraker7716]

I sealed up a ‘97 crew cab GMC last night in Speedokote Color Blender/Intercoat clear($90/gal!!!) with Eastwood metal flakes in about 58 degrees and it still flashed off very quickly to my surprise! No runs either, very impressed for the price. Gonna clean it up and clear this afternoon when it warms up again.

[@shawns57garage]

Well my friend Pete … I ended up doing this by making my own mistake thinking I could clear the next weekend … after applying 2 coats of clear … and stopping . I also mixed my first two coats wrong … instead of 2-1 I mixed 1-1 which made resanding a challenge .. but I rectified the situation this weekend and pullled an all nighter and sanded the whole car down again and reapplied 2 more coats of clear to fix the situation

[@deankay4434]

Did you use an inter coat clear or regular urethane clear to coat first? It makes sense to me using the inter coat first, sand and finish with regular urethane clear. It is new to me as I wouldn't think enough tooth was able to hold the final 3 coats. But your nibs are done with no orange peel and plenty of UV left for protection.

[@radkesrods1184]

the nicest bug ever.

[@dalepohl6769]

stunning finish pete

[@skhateanddestroy1252]

Good morning Pete and Minnie, I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers today🙏 Thanks again for sharing all of your valuable information with us throughout the years. Hopefully someday I can put it to use on my dream car! ✌❤

[@alexarki4923]

Hello there Pete and Minnie, incredible results my good lord you are gifted! Thank you a million times over for sharing your talents and teachings. Bless you both.

[@jordanwlee]

I enjoy all your videos. Currently planning some VW painting. I will be doing this on the cars. Thank you!!!!!

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

I love ❤️ these classic Pete vids where he explains well and demonstrates …. No nonsense , real world professsional !!! …..

[@deankay4434]

Pete, this is a lesson from your experience that goes back to the 6 part series over 10 years ago. This was the two-tone 1941 Willy’s putting flames on using DBC500. So not new to you, but simply experience speaking. Called anything from “Flow-Coat” to “Intermediate Clear” or really a inner-clear! Thanks for the training Pete! Regards, DK. Omaha.

[@andrewbutton5580]

Best painting video I have ever seen ! Thank you guys for sharing your secrets !

[@efree07]

Thank you, Pete, for all the knowledge you have shared and how to do things the right way. I'm a new subscriber, I've worked on cars as a mechanic for 30 + years but I've always wanted to learn how to do paint/bodywork correctly, I cannot stop watching all you're D.I.Y. videos. Big fan, once again Thank you Sir!

[@wildcard2668]

Appreciate the knowledge Pete

[@killashizilla3830]

After years of attending DIY Auto School, I must say “Thank you” to My Friend Pete. You are the man. Thank you. 🙏🏻

[@southsoundcarpetcaresouths504]

BEAUTIFUL JOB !! THANK YOU FOR THE TIPS AND ENCOURAGEMENT !!

[@diyautoschool]

GET ER DONE.

[@gregcampbell3064]

Pete used DBC-500 with my high school Auto Body students when we do our "custom painting" unit on their practice fenders. Very good results too. Kids love doing the design, taping, painting, clear coating.. Might try this on my Camaro even though it is white. Nothing wrong with a deep shiny white paint job. Less expensive than wasting good clear too. Put 5 coats of clear on my 79 Malibu, sanded with 1000, 1500, 3000. Turned out great, but lots of work and more $$. Great video!

[@stepheno9569]

Absolutely amazing video, I've never seen anything I've sprayed look like that after 5 seconds with 1500. Learned a lot, thanks!

[@richardwilliam3757]

Excellent, excellent, video one of the best you’ve done!

[@randybrennan7775]

Thanks Pete. I am learning a lot from your videos.

[@Emperorprime]

That black finnish is just out of this world Pete, fucking stunning!

[@Sv_bleu]

I love this guy I went college to learn to paint n it cost 30 grand graduated top 3 of my class n still the guy taught me some things

[@ronhodgkinson7683]

Pete, I am your age or even a little older. Don't even bother with your name sayers. The tips are very helpful for me. I enjoy the information that you offer especially when I get to save time. My project is a 81 cj5. My kids learned to drive in. Highly modified and custom paint which I think has turned out well for me. So keep the info coming you never know who's watching Thanks.

[@ronbunker5778]

That paint job is fantastic! It is definitely "show car" quality!

[@bustedknucklegarage-tommy1507]

Pete. I have great respect for you knowledge and skills. It is great that you share with us.

[@johnpassmore8176]

All's I can say is.BEAUTIFUL PAINT PETE.

[@kygray4184]

Another great video

[@mrBDeye]

VW beetles were originally painted with single stage paint. My brother and I restored a yellow 1972 super beetle.

[@sixsixtysixanhour]

that car look kool with Red n White along with that Black …excellent Job Pete & Minnie

[@BearBudgetgarage]

I like seeing the Binks in action👍 Not many videos on the Tube showing siphon feed guns being used to paint cars

[@donkintz281]

Great job Buddy and I see what you mean about rounded panels 👌 wow you make it look pretty easy!!👏👏👏👏

[@christinefernandez4551]

Thanks Pete and Minnie have learned and continue to learn God Bless You.Ed

[@jordanwlee]

Pete - does Deltron call the product by a different name now? Having a hard time finding it online for sale anywhere. Thank you for your amazing videos and invaluable info

[@chriswood1832]

That was one shiny bug at the end, been learning from Petes videos now for last couple of years now and belive I'm getting somewhere with paint and body thanks to him, no previous experience but now have the confidence to fix up my own cars, superb knowledge your passing on, thanks

[@romangloman6953]

Thanks Pete for another great video/lesson. Tell Minnie that she is in my prayers.

[@omarpuig8209]

Really awesome job, you save me at least two weeks of work thank you sir

[@pellebjurman]

Good to see your skills again about painting.noticed you are right handed.greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪👍

[@tomsellers7342]

Nice job Pete, that customer's lucky.

[@garagegod9108]

Thanks for sharing this Pete.

[@jjohnson479]

Thanks for the info Pete. How well will the clear coat stick to 1500 grit? I had clear peal up after 800 grit.

[@brianknight6278]

That's how I do it also ! Keeping it simple! Great video!

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

Great video of Pete showing us the steps !! …. Amazing work

[@josephmartinez8803]

When you mentioned about the inner coat clear being used on lowrider cars, it reminded me of the first D.I.Y. video of yours that I watch a few years back. The video was about how to do lowrider patterns. I subscribed to your channel right after watching the video. Little did I know what I was signing up for🤪👍

[@patriklennartsson9099]

Beautiful work

[@jeremyking5684]

Good job Pete! All try that next, tried the flow coat with urethane clear and ended up with lot of solvent pops.

[@jasonerb2577]

Great video and great job Pete! Keep up the top notch work!

[@hedgepethracing9590]

I have that same gun my brother gave it to me.. you do great work

[@battime5418]

Thank you for sharing your tips. Two questions: 1) any particular brand for the reducer used for the DBC 500; and 2) do you use Prep-All on the WipeAll to clean the sanded DBC 500 for the final top coat clear? Or, do you wipe down the sanded DBC 500 with a dry wipe all. or water on it? Thanks for your time. Ron

[@lccdan1]

Wow! Great job Pete! Watching you work left handed in your videos is like looking in a mirror.

[@mitchellferre1652]

Very nice tip ! I never would have thought to use intercoat clear on first clear of flow coat. Brilliant time saver and problem solver. 😀

[@timbartley5678]

My question is when spraying don't you worry about the oversprey getting on the other parts getting the mist on the parts would that mist leave any imperfections on the parts

[@desjardinsjonathan9444]

My friend pete! Wow i love it ! I will try this at the next week end !

[@dannyparent5820]

Hey Pete I wish I would have thought about using DBC of HOK intercoat clear to do this! I always used the urethane clear and had to wait. I started using Matrix clear after I saw your comparison on clears a few years back, I like that it is actually clear... It is so nice and easy to polish a flowcoat paint job, just a lot of work to get there! I always flow coat motorcycles. Awesome job Pete!

[@mariebolli5370]

Great Job PETE

[@darrellclark8112]

Been curious about this and has asked other people questions but nobody really explained it so that I understood. Thanks for this video finally I understand thank you

[@myautobrain]

Hey Pete, i watch your channels all the time. What is your opinion about these new ceramic coatings that protect auto paint. Thanks.

[@edsmachine93]

BareRose Garage sent me over. I just subbed you guys. I'll be watching. Take care, EM.

[@wayneduchscherer4676]

At what step do you recommend "Flow Coat" be applied on 3 Tri-Coat Pearl paint job, ie:Still after the base or after the pearl but before the clear? Thanks...Good instruction Pete.

[@Cliffyzjiffy]

Wow thats a 55 bug cool my friend pete 👍

[@walkerr.woodle8444]

Hey Pete awesome vid as always. Was wondering what did you use to build your exhaust system in your booth I'm looking to make an improvement to mine and was wondering how you designed yours? Thanks as always Pete

[@jimclarke1108]

Tuxedo black, standard on older Corvettes, and on my factory SLR 5000 Holden Torana 76🤠

[@sergioferreyra3095]

Back when I used a Binks 7 to shoot Centari and something caused me to wetsand it back down and shoot it again; DAMN! that second paintjob was slick...lol

[@lonestarlows]

Can you post a link to the wipe all towels you use.

[@roughlyEnforcing]

[@jerryclark7093]

Pete your simply the best your real not a fake

[@frankvarney3625]

nice, hope ya can get body panels on without damage

[@stevenculver6416]

Hey pete...I mix my own dbc 500....I use omni mbp system and just mix base and binder and it's the same damn thing. I save myself money as I already have that in my system 598 & 599

[@dannygeouge8459]

Awesome video Pete, great learning.

[@minitruckinmedic4899]

Definitely all about the prep

[@BearBudgetgarage]

That looked crazy-good without the buff!😮

[@markd4838]

Once you do the flow coat... can you leave it for a week or so to protect the base coat before you prepare it for final clear... thx... M

[@stephenalishaso]

That's a super paint job

[@deandye3255]

question I want to paint flames on my car Its a new paint job that I'm in the process of doing my question is after the base coat i spray the inter clear coat on let dry overnight as you said but do i sand it with the 1500 wet before adding flames or after painting the flames and removing all tape then sand Not sure what's the best process to do PS i know I'm suppose to wet sand before adding top coat its just painting the flames that has got me. Thanks for you class and taking the time

[@skynetwifi9211]

Old binks number 7. That and a old JGA gun were the best.

[@troyadams1076]

Good job looks great

[@michaelbristol6467]

[@satan15151515]

Can we use Green Scotch Brite instead of 1500 grit sandpaper to scuff?

[@dusty8084]

I love your work Pete. I learn something new today. Thank you

[@fasten1072]

What kind of sandpaper did you scuff with

[@paulbruno8327]

Hi Pete & Minnie! That process is phenomenal to say the least! Looking super fabulous! 🏆

[@terrellchas]

Wow wish I saw this video a week ago😢... Great info man!!

[@alisafoley4004]

If I was gonna paint a car 2 tone I assume I would do the one color then the dbc500 then the second color is that correct or if not how should I do the 2 tone

[@riffraffchoppers]

Do you prefer to use high solids clear or regular ?

[@normweishaar8626]

WOW,,,thank you.... I don't comment very often, ,but I have to comment on this,, very nice 😊and again thank you!!! For the tip I had to subscribe

Pete, can you talk about the special considerations you have to make when working on a classic Beetle, please? I'm getting ready to work on my '58 and don't remember seeing a video "series" you've done on VW Beetles. Thanks, Pete.

[@anthonyroman4713]
