How to blend with not much room

[@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

[@rauly.delcastillo7054]

there is nothing wrong of asking we are all refinishers. this guy is great lets give him a big hand.

[@brucecontreras5712]

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 !

[@dimitridam1249]

Nice work..learning how to do blend.. Its one of the most dificult jobs..greatings from spain.keep going.

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

+Dimitri Dam thank you my friend 😀😀😀😀

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@robertbanger495]

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

[@stanonishi5101]

Awesome video, I like that you explain what and how you do your jobs.

I don't care what you do, a blend is always noticable. I guess for a daily grocery getter this look better than a dent.

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

Great job as always! You would'nt happen to have the Iwata LPH400 LVX Extreme gun with orange cap by chance? Wanting to see some suggested gun settings for that gun.

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

+pitlion1 thanks you!! No I don't!!

[@robertbanger495]

Like how u work. What's the name of gun using ?

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

This one was tekna basecoat I believe it's old

[@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

[@NormBrennan]

Good work on the Meme that was fun to watch thx guys

[@ANDY-we7mr]

nice job gabriel the WS400 and LS 400 if your learning to paint what gun would you go for

[@Val-mm5gd]

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

What kind or brand of cleaner do you use post sanding ? I use solvent base on my bike frames jobs. Please let me know. Thx

nice blend bro so releasing the trigger when blending is go might have to try

[@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

[@minghuichen9481]

Very good job my friend

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Thanks!

[@jonathanmcleod5121]

Looks great

[@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

[@majstorovicdj]

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

[@Ldavidable]

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

[@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

[@lildevildog8163]

I have the teckna pro lite vigilante and love it

[@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. 🙏

[@MrSecyrb13]

@@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS oh, just wondering because never used waterborne before

[@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

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.

[@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.

[@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
