Keep in mind we are talking about standard day to day Collision work. Not restoration cars being primed for a year. Primer sanded, or non sanded, even sealer sitting out in the weather is porous.

[@BearBudgetgarage]

I started sealing all my rust repairs and old classics with epoxy sealer after polyester primer. I use reduced epoxy over the entire body(full paint job) Then i actually wet sand the body by hand after it dries with 600 or 800 to insure the smoothest surface. In Michigan, have had my best luck with this process. But again, i'm doing oldies or rust jobs. So that is what works for me.

[@thetriggerman954]

If it works that's all that matters. I started out doing rusto work. Blocking and priming on a rotisserie. So I get it. Some cars we sealed some we didn't. It's whatever works. Thanks Big Bear 💪🏼

[@BearBudgetgarage]

@@thetriggerman954 yeah, polyester and epoxy is all I have here now. I did 3 years of trials seeing what worked for me on these rust buckets. Can add acetone to the polyester if I want less build. With my low pressure turbine I use surprisingly little epoxy to cover a panel and give myself a little peace of mind and a nice paint ready repair that is sealing the poly, filler, fiberglass, concrete, expanding foam🤣😁🤣😁🤣 you know, whatever it took to fix dat rust!!😝

After painting yachts for 45 years, I can tell you that painting cars is much more involved. For the boats we use two-part epoxy primers sanded to 400. With AwlGrip or Alexseal Topcoats (two part polyurethanes) we spray one tack coat and then two wet coats. That's it. They last 10 years.

Spot on on the sealer.... The benefit of sealer is that you can spray it on and recoat over it without sanding. Not a requirement when it is still fairly fresh....There is a window of time to do this just like epoxy primer. Sealer is great for cut throughs. and not required if there is perfectly sanded 2k primer. and if you sand the sealer it is absolutely the same as if you have sanded 2k primer. Sealer is a great tool and can be used or not used depending on what you are doing.

A lot of things I do on the channel I do completely opposite at times sometimes I paint panel by panel sometimes I walk the entire side of the car, sometimes I use sealer sometimes I don't , sometimes I use a wet bed and sometimes I don't, and it's basically just to show that there so are many ways to get the same outcome and there is not one way to do any of this.

I mainly only seal new parts. Don't see a benefit to sealing primer. My primer just gets a different mix ratio to be a sealer. Been doing this since 96. Got my collision repair license in 2000. Been at my current job 18 years. I do see some youtubers seal everything. With the paint I use, It will not cover like yours, right shade of primer is important. I just use a primer that can be mixed in any gray shade. I do turn the booth lights off and check my coverage.

[@thetriggerman954]

Yeah man new parts are a must. At times I will tint the primer for that very reason. And I agree with you 100% my thing is the reason they are saying to seal, the whole porous reason. Now that is not even a real thing and doesn't warrant for using sealer.

[@kseries20-24only]

I like sealer because it (1.) helps with color coverage, (2.) incase there are any scratches paint would still show through, and (3.) it seems to also help almost like a wet-bed when used correctly. But at the edges of the sealer such as a repair spot you have to either sand smooth, use a blender, or a clear base up to the sealer to overcome the texture. I guess what I wonder about @The TriggerMan in your experience can you pile on the coats if you see scratches peeking through? I agree it's not always easy adding a step that opens you up to additional dirt/contaminants :/

[@thetriggerman954]

@@kseries20-24only my vehicles are prepped correct there is never any scratches. I said that at the end of the video " if you're sealing because of scratches or pinholes the you need to work on your craft " people can "like" to use it for whatever reason but that doesn't mean it's "needed" I would rather take a few extra minutes prepping to ensure there are no scratches than to waste time and create more work by sealing. And saying it helps like a wet bed I don't even know what that means. And no piling on base coat because you see sand scratches would just be asking for trouble, it will most likely shrink and show scratches once everything cures.

I only seal a vehicle if I have an overall paint job, just to get a better finish, I stop sanding at 400 though 😅 I agree on the wet base, in fact on jobs where I have taken a light coat I got a reaction, I slammed on another coat and bam, problem solved 😅. But I'm just an amateur 😂😂😂

[@thetriggerman954]

Amateur my @$$ I see your jobs you do your work based on what your current is paying for you've had since killer paint jobs and I know they paid for that 🤑 yeah sealing before an overall paint job is always a good idea.

What about fiberglass Trig? Should you seal complete panel? Also should you primer then seal or seal then primer? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@thetriggerman954]

Primer than seal. And only seal fiberglass if it's needed. Same thing applies. If you have a good solid 2k primer there isn't really a need. The boat guys 2 only 2k primer and paint.

[@thetriggerman954]

Most of my burn throws that are down to metal My prepper uses an SEM etch can primer prior to giving me the car ready. And even if it's a tiny spot of metal it's fine to seal it. Just not big areas.

[@timhudson8958]

Trigger. Could you do a video on a diy booth type of set up. I have a motorhome garage attached to my shop. I wanna multi purpose the motorhome area and turn it into a nice diy booth. I have 2 20” axial fans that can do a full air change in 1-1/2 minutes. I’m wondering is filter heights make a difference. Low vs high. Also lighting. Best I can tell you have one bank of lights about 5 feet off ground. Would more light be better. What would you do differently on your booth. Lighting airflow etc. I’m a diy painter. Bikes. Cars. Trailers and recently planes. I’m 60. Painted first bike at 26. I just wanna get better. I have good air supply. Clean n dry. That was a problem in the past. Appreciate You!

[@thetriggerman954]

Sure man I'll try to go give my 2 cents. As far as filters height I would say somewhat in the middle would be good not to high and not to low most shops I've seen they are always in the middle of start from the bottom and go towards the middle. And the more lights the better. You can never have to much light. And probably and set lower than the 5 feet to catch things down below. Then a few up top as well. 1-2 min air change is pretty good that about how my booth flows more like 2.5 minutes

[@jandglewis]

Thank You.

[@mannyguerrero8415]

Good painter but come on ... Detrim the car, don't mask handles, mirrors, remove glass, bumpers, wheel opening molding and clear full panels don't burn the clear. Nice job but not an invisible repair

That's not my department. I'm in the booth all day. You need to go to the bodyman channel And tell him to R&I the vehicles. I focus on painting here on my channel. On your estimate R&I is under body labor not paint time. 💪🏼

[@mannyguerrero8415]

I got you, it's the shop owner/manager who sets the tone. I was a painter, estimator and manager of some high end shops. The thing is everyone sees your finished product and if over spray on something, they point fingers at you. Good luck man and get those body men to do their jobs especially if they getting paid to do it

Trigger Man!! Letting them boys know whats what!!!😂 I do have a question that maybe you can help me with. I am in east Texas where we get high heat and high humidity. What are your thought on how much humidity is too high to paint in? Thank you in advance! P.S. put the Trigger Troll on them boys putting out all that nonsense! 😂

[@thetriggerman954]

Lmao Yeah man can't let the misinformation spread too far. And for me I'm painting in the highest humidity possible and it's never too humid to paint. Hell I have 80% humidity plus I wet my floor in the booth which probably gives another 20% humidity so that's 100% 🤣🤣 But the show must go on. But what you can do is play around with different reducers different temperatures and different brands. When we use the cheap generic reducer it makes my work twice as hard but when I use the expensive quality reducer metallics flow better, colors match better it's night and day bro A lot of people don't think that reducers make a difference but I swear by them. There is a reason 1 gallon of reducer is $30 and then another gallon is $120. And when the humidity is really really high just make sure you give your last coat of base a nice drop coat from far away. And if the humidity is screwing up your clear coat after each coat of clear turn off your fans for a few minutes.

[@jmg2545]

I had to spray a single stage acrylic urethane metallic and first coat laid great, but it took almost an hour to flash. I used slow reducer. Second coat laid slick, but then about an hour later disaster struck. The fishes started going dull in areas. Humidity was like 87. I don’t know what caused that to happen. Luckily I was able to save the job by clearing over it after 5 hours of letting it sit. I was just wondering what went wrong. I thought maybe too much humidity. I sprayed with the Drizzle 1 with a 1.3 at 2.5 turns from closed on the fluid and my PSI was about 30. My travel was slow and steady and straight. I was about 6 inches from the panel. It was wild for to dull out on me. I hate single stage! Thanks Trigger! Your videos are top shelf and your voiceovers are excellent. You really deserve a money paying TV show! Peace! Ya Dig!!😂

Thank you John. And normally my prepper finishes off primer with 600 but for whatever reason on certain jobs she likes to use 800 grit which is fine with me she has her own style and I respect that and it doesn't affect my finish in any way. There's so many different ways to do this stuff and get the same outcome. Thanks again for timing in John. ♥️💪🏼

2k primer can shrink 40 to 50 percent in the first 48 hours and then level off and shrink less over a week,, your asking for trouble spraying sealer just before paint

Facts, that's why the base would soak in and a person think it's the primer it just needs to cure. And that can be air dried for a day or two, or baked or put in the sun for a day. But either way it has to cure. That's the proper way

That's fine if it's just little spot. And the 1k has completely cover the burn through. Just be cautious on the first 1-2 coats of base on that area because it could react if you put your ass really wet. Other than that you'd be good.
