[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

+Dimitri Dam thank you my friend 😀😀😀😀

[@casperkalf1976]

with difficult colors i usually spray 1 control coat then 1 control coat with 200% water added to the paint and 1 control coat with 300% water. this also helps prevent edges

[@majstorovicdj]

Wery good video with simply explanation...,great.

[@nicksandoval4618]

Nice job Buddy 👍🏾if you tell the writers you need 20 inches for blends they give you 15 if you say you need 12 the give you 6 always a struggle. Nice to see your videos your a Great Painter

I would have masked up front door edge for the first cover coats on primer, then pulled off masking paper on the last control coat or 2. Helps me with my sand piling.. great job as always man. Ive learned a ton from you. Gracias!

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Absolutely a great way to do it! Thanks brother !

[@eviljoker303]

I do my drop coat while the surface is still wet ,but increase the distance a bit .Thats always worked for me but I always use wet bed

Good work. Only issue could arise is you spraying the covered window area with the overspray on plastic . It could flake off

[@MrBluntash]

such a beast....

[@dougowens2686]

Awesome job you need to list you equipment were can i get one of those blowers

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Thank youuuu!!!! Motivatedpainters.com

[@mrmuskey5202]

With Axalta and 1 1/2 coats your able to blend in a very tight area. The system is the easiest to blend bye far….just saying. Sand-piling creates mottlle, and it can be tough to deal with times . With a true waterborne, there is no over spray or sand-piling. For example- because its a wet on wet process you could spray a black complete then tack with a new tack rag before clear and there won’t be any sign of black on the tack rag cause any overspray lands into the wet film and is absorbed. It ends up being silky smooth before clear. It was good that you eliminates to many blend area buy spraying to the top and bottom of the door. We should never attempt to blend in a circle if we can help it.

[@JaimeRodriguez-pg3zs]

nice job bro👍

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

+Jaime Rodriguez thanks bro!!!!

[@ahmedgamal3]

Good

[@rauly.delcastillo7054]

helping others is one of the greatest thing in refinishing basecoat clear coat system. but how about polyurethane paint blending? the basecoat is added with hardener means paint is wet quite longer. using tackcloth is the issue?

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Never done it brother we don't us that

[@rauly.delcastillo7054]

thats what im doing as a sprayer. i save penny on my paint job.

[@hamzakarim3984]

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

+HAYKO RODRIGUEZ thanks!!!!

[@Ldavidable]

what's the brAND OF THE WET BED YOU USE?

[@robertspicer3716]

why not use a smaller gun and work tighter patterns? I'd rather push a smaller air cap and leave room to work. Does that make sense? sometimes I use a jamb gun for blending metallics.

[@hamzakarim3984]

wow

[@Val-mm5gd]

I would use a tighter overlap for both your base and clear but nice job looks good on camera

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

+Valer Vitak isn't it awesome that we can have so many different techniques and still get awesome paint jobs?!

[@Val-mm5gd]

MOTIVATED PAINTERS, you will never find two painters that are exactly the same.

[@772777777777777]

You should make a video for diyers showing how to make multiple sprayout cards to aide in blending.. ie most diyers don't have access to tinting bank and adjusting there paint they purchased...ie the variant they choose was the best option but is still off .ie to dark. Please show how multiple spray out cards with multiple coats of basecoat clear blender .. Can help adjust colour matching along with spraying psi which can light or darken a colour. Along with blending tips during painting. The goal is to lighten a basecoat varriant using a base cost blender etc, along with blending techniques and drop coats etc.

[@orielcollins414]

Question: Do you need to scotchbrite or buff the entire panels original clearcoat before laying down the final clearcoat on top of the repair? OR is it possible to lay down an epoxy primer patch, then patch with the base color, then just put the final clearcoat over the entire panel without scuffing the whole area for adhesion of the final clearcoat?

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Everything has to be sanded always

[@orielcollins414]

MOTIVATED PAINTERS That’s what I had learned but I don’t think some of these other tutorials understand that. Appreciate you. 🙏

[@ErickHernandez-zd3nk]

So did u use the paint for the car or did u use a paint similar to the paint for the car to cover the primer

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

The actual paint

[@garrettstokes2860]

do always clear top to bottom on a down draft booth? I'm just the opposite because I was taught that all my over spray will melt in because I always have a wet bed. also not fighting texture. also what grit to do prep your blend panels? I finish mind with 1000 on metallic colors and 800 on solid colors

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

+garrett stokes I alternate most of the time I clear bottom to top but sometimes top to bottom if your clear is not melting into itself then maybe the clear is to fastwe use 1000 for light colors 😀 thanks for the support!!

[@garrettstokes2860]

do you use t492 and t494 in your base coat? 10% 492 and 20% of 494.

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

+garrett stokes not for metalics

[@MrSecyrb13]

Damn how warm is your booth to wipe wax and grease so quick grant it live in Minnesota

MOTIVATED PAINTERS I do not know how to explain to you so that you can understand me but you can search my fb

[@rauly.delcastillo7054]

no need wet bead , base clear just plain basecoat then clearcoat. and shoot the panel. only few can do it right.

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Yes it can do that

[@brandontashiro862]

Idk if this has ever been asked before but what started the whole blower routine what made you choose that style how did you end up choosing your first blower did someone show you that trick or you saw it and said hey I think I could make use out of it

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

+Brandon Tashiro I just wanted to make the base dry faster and when we switched to ppg they brought the blowers so then I started using them. They are affordable unlike the sata ones that are just crazy in Prize

[@alaneandreh2370]

One question please if u put sealer on the primer and dry it then u put base coat and clear coat u think the primer soak up base coat and clear ? After some days ??????? Because some time the finisher cuts the edge or cut the primer and see the filler so he put canes 1k primer so how to fix like that’s problem ??? Thanks for your reply 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Yes that would fix the problem

[@alaneandreh2370]

Thanks for your reply but after two weeks becomes like dieback

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Colad ones

[@richardrodriguez367]

What kind of pump sprayer do you use??

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Same as the colas ones

[@JuanMartinez-kd3jm]

How did you prep the panels so you don't need a wet bed.what grit of sand paper did you use

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

800-1000 if they are silver or gold

[@JuanMartinez-kd3jm]

Ok thanks

[@nailler1]

Where does the overspray go in the door handle openings?

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Not much goes in there it desipates inside of the door. Is much better to cover them with some foam tape though

[@nailler1]

@@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS Thats what should have been done in the first place. Otherwise the overspray covers the window. Also allows contaminants to blow back out on the painted surface

[@MrCbell57]

I've got a color that matches spot on, but a sanded through spot near the front of the door. I can just paint the entire door. But I have a second place sanded through and discolored that needs to be resprayed on the quarter behind this door. I can spray the base to lightly bring the color back to normal. But how do I get the clear coat to blend with the existing clear? Do I use a chemical within the clear? If I clear the entire area I would have to paint half the car due to it being a fast back mustang. I want to blend the paint, and then blend the clear. Or does clear need to be blended? If I over lap other clear won't it sand down with 1500, then 3000, then would it leave a line or area that does not clean up and buff or polish properly?

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

I don't recommend you blend the clear. Just base where you need to and clear the rest

[@MrCbell57]

@@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS so re clear the entire rear of car? Again? Both quarters and the tail and the top of car? For a two inch rebase shoot?

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Wherever you will base. That panel needs to be cleared. That is the right way to do it for it to last

[@MrCbell57]

@@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS Yes I know to clear over any base. If you spray base over an area the size of a door latch. Do you need to clear the entire door? Or if you have that same area on the quarter panel...do you need to clear the entire back half of car, top, both quarters, tail panel and so on? Or can you blend the clear? So, Okay the base will go on about 6 square inches of the quarter. The same for the door area. I don't mind clearing the entire door again. But having to clear half the car to repair a small area I reshoot on quarter panel, that needs two light coats of base and is a 6 inch square area seems crazy Especially since I see you actually doing it on a small area yourself. What your doing is what I want to be able to do. Not clear the biggest part of the car for a little base touch up area. If I shoot clear over clear, will it show Dull areas where I stop? Or will sanding it and buffing it make it look fine? Yes I know it needs to be cleared. Maybe I can send you a pic of it. Are you on facebook? Thank you.

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

If you base even a quarter size spot on a panel you need to clear the rest of the panel

[@alexgonzalez7395]

Did you sand the whole section?

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Yup

[@Brulserz]

"Swing your leg infront and across..." I suppose that it is a stupid question, but what do you mean by that? I just cant imagine it, so that is why i am asking. Thank you.

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

+Brulserz the whole point of that is to not stopping while you are spraying if you take a step and stop and your finger still on the trigger you are going to screw something up but if you swing your leg across in front of the other and try to keep your body moving while spraying instead of step and stop. Hope that makes sense probably now but that's the best I can do in text hahahahah
