I am a retired painter with over 40 years in the trade. One is never to old to learn new tricks . Keep up the good work. I enjoy your channel.

[@kandyman5315]

Thanks 👍

I have been painting for 10yrs. Every now and then i go back through a couple of your videos as well as Brian from paint societies videos before i start certain jobs

[@williampribas5093]

Loving the video what we call in the industry Small Repair Area Technique or SMART for short.

[@fireball7671]

The door turned out great, and that BMW😍

[@by_chris]

Great video, been watching your stuff a lot for the past couple months, always leave learning something ,I’m currently 21 and work at production shop as a prepper, could you make a video on what you would have done differently when you first started out or really just tell us how you got to where you are now. Hoping to be a top level painter like you kandyman

I'd like to see this same type of repair but on a more challenging color like champagne, gold or medium silver. It is nice to see different techniques like your blend-in technique.

@@kandyman5315 had some issues painting my car i know Brian from paint society are you on Instagram

[@mtnberner2971]

Kandyman! That’s to easy, dark color center of the door, do a video with a silver or gold and 6” blend room. I’m just frustrated, because that’s the type of repairs we have to do at our shop, basically no such thing as a blend on certain jobs. Love your videos, you rock! P.s. ever thought about doing a podcast where painters can share tips and tricks? I have a bunch of unorthodox tricks.

[@kandyman5315]

Sounds great!

[@helikestoskate]

What is the mix of the wet bed? you mentioned it is a clear and base mix. Thank you for the video.

[@kandyman5315]

I mix it 10%

[@conorlee9241]

Love the vids amazing quality of work always,your truly in sync with the paint system, drives me mad how you are making it look easy, when it's such a stressful job ..is the dv1 1.2 your go to gun for clear.. even if your doing full resprays..👍

[@kandyman5315]

Dv1 is my go to gun 1.3 for full resprays

[@conorlee9241]

Sorry for being annoying, so would you prefer the dv1 over the supernova for resprays or atomization for laying the clear flat..

[@kandyman5315]

Can't go wrong with either one those are the best of the best

[@conorlee9241]

Thanks again ..

[@gevybiazon8980]

nice work sir. if you wont mind my asking sir. is it possible normal clear coat to do the bonding? here in philippines we are not having clear base. so ive been thinking this long time ago. because i will be painting my toyota innova 2019 model. i purchase also ws and ls series 2 from iwata. practicing how to perfect the gun settings. thanks.

[@thomaskappauf7345]

Base coat blending clear

[@randywiddis]

Is this a premix wet bed, or are you mixing it? I'm still solvent based. What would your mix be for that?

[@kandyman5315]

10 percent water reduction

Greetings from BULGARIA :)! Could you share what is the clear coat you have use to get this really shiny finish. Tx

Did u use a interface pad on the sander? ? Thank you

[@kandyman5315]

Both

I would like to know if the colour is pearl white in this case, how it going to be handled

[@kandyman5315]

Same way

[@darthgeros5863]

if i sprayed clear that fast man the job would be dry and peely and just uneven

[@wildbill1]

How long do you wait after applying the wet bed to apply your basecoat?

[@kandyman5315]

The sooner the better

[@danmaher7947]

I was curious, for just a small dent, wouldn’t it have been a lot cheaper and faster to use a PDR guy?

[@kandyman5315]

Paint was damaged

[@danmaher7947]

Gotcha. It turned out awesome! You do really nice work. What clear do you use and what gun?

[@anthonypirone4661]

If I can ask how long have you bin in the trade.. and how much time it took where you were confident in painting at this caliber

[@kandyman5315]

28 years in this trade, this trade is always changing so it keeps me on my toes .👊

[@anthonypirone4661]

You do great work and alot of it.. its joyful seeing your videos and can say myself being in the trade from high-school to now 10 years how much goes into it 👍

There is a body man at my job that will panel prime a door for damage that small. I told him he is gonna have to start bringing his doors over prepped with 320

[@dell618]

Do you have to put a, wet bed on before each coat? Or just the first? How does it work?

[@kandyman5315]

Just once

[@kandyman5315]

That can be done to if necessary

[@dell618]

@@kandyman5315 great thanks

Is a wet bed another name for a blending agent? I have heard that some use slow reducer as a blender/wet bed. Any input will be appreciated.

[@kandyman5315]

It is a clear paint

[@markperez6195]

@@kandyman5315Happy Memorial Day weekend!! If the repair area of the door panel featured on this video would have been about an inch away from the door edge side that is closest to the front fender, would the blending process have been the same? Sadly, had my first burn-through ( clear / base coat) while polishing to prep for a ceramic coating on a mint 2000 BMW E46 coupe in Alpine White and man I am frustrated. I assume that I would mimic what you did with the damaged and untouched substrate area and ensuring to keep the repair at a minimum. But in my case, being the repair area is so close to the edge of the panel next to the front fender, how should the blend be processed? Darn, I wish I could send you an image so you could briefly review and provide your thoughts / feedback. Regards, Mark

[@kandyman5315]

@markperez6195 get color right and stay in door would be my choice

[@markperez6195]

@@kandyman5315Since there is no need to repair any defects on the burn-through can I just spray a bit of sealer instead of primer onto the burn-through area and proceed with a wet bed on the entire panel, base coat and clear.

[@kandyman5315]

@markperez6195 yes

[@milestone_media]

Have you used the dv1s?

[@kandyman5315]

Yes great gun

What clear do you use

[@christianbeahm8171]

What do you run the 3m gun at for psi?

[@kandyman5315]

15 psi

[@christianbeahm8171]

That with the 3m regulator?

[@christianbeahm8171]

3m regulator feels choked...like 30 psi on that gun would be 20 on any other

[@kandyman5315]

Try a different regulator at 15

[@fugglestick]

Why no PDR instead?

[@kandyman5315]

Paint was scratched

[@Kustompaint2026]

Why not use a scuffing agent on the rest of the blend area instead of DAing with 800 grit??

[@conorlee9241]

Because 800 knocks down the orange peal ,and better adhesion , and helps with the clear laying down nicely.

[@kandyman5315]

I like things dry but is another way as well.

[@miceinoz1181]

Yes, that BMW is going to scrap after the first owner for sure. Imagine the maintenance burden on all the electronic crap in it. "Oh sir you need a new door control panel, that will be $5000 plus labor and programming" After a few years it will be "Sorry sir, parts are no longer available for this car" This is industrial waste at the worst. I own two older BMW X5's and some parts are getting hard to find for them (E53 and E70) so imagine something like this with only a very small production run. Love the painting tips though.

Thanks for your take.
