Now that's what I'm talking about. straight to the point without the BS hype. subscribed 😃

[@GarageNoise]

Thank's brother!

[@pornokid333]

Smart! Saves us a whole Lotta resanding and prepping an entire panel just for a few pesky fisheyes.

[@GarageNoise]

Appreciate the support!

[@husky1232]

Love the video and thank you for the tip it will come handy garage noise take care

[@LakesideAutobody]

Great video GN - very useful info - thanks for sharing :)

[@joegeorge3889]

That was very informative good work

[@thedetailingdoctor5746]

Before you sand it down and re clear it make sure you find the cause of the contamination first ! Dirty air dirty line or dirty panel or dirty gun something will definitely be contaminated if you have a whole panel of fish eyes

[@GarageNoise]

Absolutely!

[@robertcoggin3366]

You are my new hero. I'm painting a couple guitar necks in lacquer, & lo & behold, a couple fisheyes right on the face of the headstock on one. I already knew everything you said until you got to the razor blade trick. The tape on the blade was a revelation. This is the way

[@twincamGT]

Fantastic brilliant brilliant tip with the razor blade

[@savannahbananas4555]

Thank you, just got a fresh paint job and noticed I have a few of them if I look closely. Going to do this myself to save some extra money!

[@BangBang504]

[@GarageNoise]

I didn't fo a live. I will be tho . I will let everyone know well in advance. Thanks for being part of the crew.

[@jesusguzman7324]

Este método es muy seguro yo lo aplicó cuando se necesita.

[@GarageNoise]

👍

[@2koolforyou88]

Great tips 👌 if there was to many fish eyes what grit would you recommend to sand and reclear

[@GarageNoise]

If the fish eyes a shallow and not too deep 600. If their deep 400 but do not sand all the way thru the clear. If you think your close to sanding thru then don't try and sand the fisheyes totally out before you re- clear

[@codygorman691]

Phenomenal job. I'm not sure if it's been covered but do you have any particular 2k clear that you prefer? Rubbing compound you prefer? Thanks in advance, keep up the good work.

[@GarageNoise]

There's a few that I use upol spot panel clear, fc720 and fc710 finish1. I also perfer csi compound

[@SCAX856]

Your vieos are great, tought me alot before trying to paint my hood. I painted it today and notice some fisheyes in the paint and started this process. How long do you wait for clear to dry before using the razor blade method?

[@GarageNoise]

24hrs you don't want it soft.

[@vivernpadiachy3528]

I really found this informative, I only have 1 question how much hardener did u add to so little clear

[@GarageNoise]

I just guesstimated a 4:1 ratio.

[@oceanpointedistributorscor4051]

Great video. What is the name of those foam backed sanding pads and where to get them? Thanks!

[@GarageNoise]

Here's a link amzn.to/3GJhEDi

[@lad63bird]

Do you add a drop of hardener to the clear?

[@GarageNoise]

Yes, definitely add hardner

[@bobbydelamar606]

Im Bobby from Fort Worth Texas, I'm not new. I have a 1970 Roadrunner that is in the sanding phase. Its a complete car, minus the paint 😂 I also have a 1989 CRX but it has paint and alittle rust. What causes fish eyes, cracking, and sinking spots?

[@GarageNoise]

Fisheyes are cause by some tyor of contamination that is either cleared over ir lands on the clear. Silicone like what's in wheel dressing or armor all. Cracking can be caused by improper mixed primer or paint, or maybe weather

[@AlexRodriguez-pg9xk]

is the initial sanding required? cant you just dab the clear and wetsand the whole area? since the fisheye itself is unable to be sanded, the clear wont have a bite.. unless its biting the edges of the crater? Can you help me out on that part?

[@GarageNoise]

Yes the intial sanding is for adhesion. You could dab it on if you catch it before the clear fully cures.

[@AlexRodriguez-pg9xk]

@@GarageNoise I've already got the truck home. I plan on waiting another week and a half before doing it so it fully cures. I plan on using spraymax 2k clear and a blunt tip syringe for the application

[@cbvaldellon1982]

hi, curious....how are you running the blade accross the fish eyes? are you gliding it parallel or scraping it perpendicular to the paint. thanks thanks

[@GarageNoise]

Clear must be cured. Straight up is how I do it.

[@hermycothy2566]

I'm painting right now, and fisheyes show up already, its a dealer car, and they have sprayed a lot of grease on the tires and engine. Just waiting tu put clear but I'm kind of nervous.

[@mandalaputradeny4166]

What a nice video! I want to ask you, did you only using clear without mixing with hardener?

[@GarageNoise]

No, I put hardner in it. Thank's for warching

[@mandalaputradeny4166]

@@GarageNoise in what ratio clear and hardener?

[@GarageNoise]

@@mandalaputradeny4166 well depending on the clear your using mine was 4:1 but I just mixed a little so I guesstimated.

[@frankvalencia9227]

Hey Brian awesome videos brother!..I have a question, I painted a fender last week at night at around 65 degrees with moderate to high humidity (which I know is a big no-no ) which I do about half the time and never really had a problem up until today, a week later, I can still leave a slight finger nail mark on an inconspicuous spot. I’m using a slow hardener and letting is flash 15 minutes between coats which is 5 minutes more than it calls for since it was cold.. How would I fix this?..will it still harden up?..do I have to sand it back down a clear again?.. It’s a shame too since it laid out like glass 😪..thanks Brian

[@GarageNoise]

This is Chris at Garage Noise. Brian is Paint Society lol. All good I'll answer your question. How many days has it been? You said last week it should be cured by now. It sounds like it is curing , I would give it a week it should cure up. If not you would have to strip it down and repaint. Honestly if it's been a week it seems to me your mix was off.

[@frankvalencia9227]

@@GarageNoise you absolutely right sorry Chris. I follow both of you guys and I think I called Brian Chris as well 😂.. Yes it’s been a week today. Everyday I press it with my fingernail and gets harder to make a mark ..I thought the same that I might have mixed it incorrectly but I cleared some headlights with the same mix and those hardened correctly…

[@GarageNoise]

@@frankvalencia9227 lol, I've talked to Brain a bit he's a good dude. It should be alright then. You don't want to have to strip it down. Happened to me once (incorrect mix) never again.

[@osm0077]

Nice job. I clear coat my driver side fender. At the first coat the clear cracked at the corner near the mirror what can cause that?

[@GarageNoise]

That sounds like a chemical reaction, when you say cracked is it more like a wrinkle. A chemical reaction usually happens when applying base coat tho.

[@osm0077]

@@GarageNoise thank you

[@swav100]

Where do u purchase your vseries clear coat I bought it off ebay but no longer available from the seller I can't find it anymore and I need more

[@GarageNoise]

I would say try your local paint supplier. That would be you best bet.

[@jacktitter4254]

Hope you’re not using fisheye eliminator to much, I’ve had issue and finally got BASF tech to my small shop, eliminator has silicone in it and it infects your garage and is very hard to get out of shop, start cleaning shop with ammonia and spray straight ammonia on floor before painting

[@KingDupue]

Where did you buy the Clear that you can use the dipping brushes with? Did you just spray some clear into an old spray paint cap to let it pool and then dip from it?

[@GarageNoise]

I mixed a little 2k clear. You want to use 2k clear.

[@AlexRodriguez-pg9xk]

@@GarageNoise can i use eastwood or spray max 2k sprayed into a cup ?

[@kirbyconner9952]

What can I do to get fish eyes out of the base coat?

[@GarageNoise]

Sand and re coat, fisheyes in base coat may be caused by applying it to wet on the first coat. 9 times out of 10 if you you apply less paint on the first coat you won't get them. Hope this helps appreciate the comment and support!

[@billplant2020]

Excellent job, I’m a beginner and if any one can answer how fish eyes come Into the clear coat in the first place. Thanks

[@GarageNoise]

Bottom line contaminants. On or the panel befor clear or landing on clear. Water, silicone like in tire shine. Oils from your hands.

[@billplant2020]

@@GarageNoise Thank you. Lesson learnt…

[@vcotta2012]

Will this work on paint cracks as well?

[@GarageNoise]

Yes, if it's in the clear

[@bigbothoee8617]

I got loads of fish eyes lol

[@GarageNoise]

Yeah this probably won't help. Appreciate the comment!

[@ntonytay]

For the foam 2000# , i tried using by hand and it leaves alot of swirl marks. I had a hard time polishing it out even i refine to 3000#. Perhaps im using a DA polisher and not a rotary. Is rotary really needed to polish out sanding mark?

[@GarageNoise]

Probably what's happening is you clear is not fully cure that will make it hard to get some scratches buffed out. It's ok to color sand and buff the next day but if you wait 4 days that's ideal. You may have had a particle of trash under you sand paper that was causing some scratching. I would wetsand over the scratch again with 2000 make sure it's clear then repeat the remaining steps. Hope this helps thank's for watching

[@ntonytay]

@@GarageNoise thanks so much for the input. Previously i contacted the paint support and they said its always ok to sand the next day. However on my later paint job, i never sand by hand anymore. I'll just use a mini da sander and sand it which is far easier to polish the scratch rather than those swirl marks which caused by hand sanding. Ive seen alot of bodyshop using rotary polishers to cut, so i might be getting a rotary polishers soon to try out.

[@wellingbadboy]

Hi, can I fix fish eyes after 6 months after painting using your method?

[@GarageNoise]

Yes you can! Appreciate the support!

[@wellingbadboy]

Thanks for replying. Appreciate your help.
