HOW TO FIX A RUN OR SAG IN CLEAR COAT

HOW TO FIX A RUN OR SAG IN CLEAR COAT

[@jerryvikla3925]

I have been trying various brands of clear and base over the past 3 years and have got quite a few sags and runs in the clear. For me poor lighting is a huge factor in getting them. Your comment that you would rather push the clear and get a run than have a dry job is spot on and quite reassuring to a guy who only paints maybe 2-3 cars a year. You are the best!

[@jpaul6624]

Thanks for making my wife’s boss’s car look better than pre-loss condition. I tried to find that run after you removed it and couldn’t. Nice job bro.

It's what we do. Thanks for the support

[@dougderby9454]

I had painted an old car of mine. Single stage Centari. Metallic. Few runs. Friend who does nothing but buffs cars all day at a body shop. Buffed car for me. I had wet sanded car 1000-2000. Watching him razor the runs out and buff. Shows what thousands of hours of experience does. 😊. Excellent Kandy man.

[@scottherr642]

You are one of the best old time painters on KZbin I consistently learn by watching you. I too use razor blades to shave runs but going 90° to the sag I've never done...makes me want to run one to try it. I am using the mirka tungsten blade as well now works very well and never digs in. Great video and channel.

[@kandyman5315]

Thank you

[@robertwalter6688]

Iam a paint stick guy myself the razor blade is good but I get the best results with 3m 800 wet dry on that little piece of wood good job kandy man well done!!!!!

[@PrevostNewbie]

Your Videos are very informative with no personal attitude like some other paint/body work content creators. Thank you for all you do.

That Alfa Romeo looks fantastic. Great job! And thanks for sharing this - I’m using it shortly. 👍🏻

[@ThreenaddiesRexMegistus]

Might be a silly question, but what is that wonderful red? The colour hue is exactly what I’m looking for for a motorcycle I’m doing. It’s also exactly right for an Alfa. 👍🏻

[@beemabuildbodystylingrepai1934]

Great work buddy getting them out like that saves a re do and time and money.i have used the polyester putty method a few times over the years and does work pretty good on bigger runs as you don’t rub down around the run just the run itself:) keep them coming buddy love the updates 👍👍

[@reticul8r645]

Excellent video

[@rtcar6990]

Thanks for vid. New learning is the pre sand so it helps bring out the run definition. I have a similar run in a door I just did so watching lots of vids. First one I’ll try to remove so thanks for your guidance. Confidence I can do this boost for sure.

Crazy. Love the detail and owning the error

Very nice job! I just got runs in clear that make me want to sell every paintgun I own! Nice tip taking the edge off the corners of the blade. :)

[@kandyman5315]

Glad I could help!

[@DJRandolf12]

Hello thank you for the tip I've never tried a razor blade before.i know other painters who do this. If I ever get a run I use a old piece of a body file works well for me been doing it for years.

[@kandyman5315]

Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@DC-ep3bd]

Fantastic video, thank you for putting this together. I have a clear coat sag on my golf cart body, I will use this method to resolve it.

[@joshuavallot8921]

I've cut runs with a razor blade before, and I have had the edge dig in a little more then I wanted as well, but I never though about sanding the edges off!

Had a sag last week pushing the clear to its limits 😤 great video k man 👍

[@glen4407]

Good job. Since I use cheap clears it can be a challenge to get it hard enough. I put the bake light on it a few times. The putty method can map where it was and have to polish it again. It could just be on the clear.

[@deanbrown7643]

We all get them mukka were not robots well explained brother keep it wet that's the trick 👏👏👏

I enjoy watching you. and am learning a lot. On a different topic of confusion for me...are the 3M PPS gun adapters specific for use on either a PPS Original or a PPS 2.0 cup and cap? Meaning I would hate to have to purchase both The Original and the PPS 2.0 cups and caps. Thank you.

[@kandyman5315]

2.0 is the newest version you can go with either

[@nealnaz]

@@kandyman5315 after asking you, I did a live chat with 3M. Was told from company rep that the PPS 2.0 kits should be less expensive. I also learned the difference in appearance of both adapters. ORIGINAL has a flat adapter surface and 2.0 has sort of wings and a small funnel shape. The Original cup has 2 clips to hold the adapter and 2.0 has 4 points to clasp cup. Unfortunately, before realizing the two are NOT interchangeable, or that there was any difference, I ordered adapters that are only for Original PPS. The company no longer makes Original PPS adapters and those don't have the "S" in the name. For the Kiwami4, I was told the #43 is the Original PPS Adapter and the #S43 is the 2.0 Adapter. Hope that info helps someone else out.

[@cruise_captain]

first of all he is not an old time painter, i am an old time painter, go to h.d. and get a flat fine 1/2 inch wide cut it down to 3 inch bevel the edges and epoxy to a piece of wood, works great. on really big runs an old time metal file works wonders. I actually did that once on a cadillac door, it worked but had to respray as it was too slick. got to keep the orange peel even

[@michaeljohnson5108]

Great video. Very well explained. Thanks!!!

[@Supanova70]

Yellow tape on both side of blade to hold also leaves a small air gap not to dig in by mistake.

[@kandyman5315]

👍👍

[@marcuswhite1403]

I normally use the spot putty method. I've always been scared to do it with a razor. I also use the Perfect It 3 step process. Really good stuff, just expensive

can you give a recommendation for a nice quality clearcoat? Finishing up a resto on my c10. lots of hours in it so i don't want to cheap out but dont really to spend above and beyond necessary. Color is gm wildcherry tintcoat. Ive already bought base and midcoat.(ppg shopline plus) I have ppg and axalta dealers nearby but Im willing to shop online too. Thanks in advance

[@kandyman5315]

I love cc 200 by Sherwin Williams or 8152 by ppg they are not cheap but worth it to me

[@cjtsn466]

Isn’t it best to repaint it.The orange peel will not match .They removed a run on my door now part of the door is too shiny

[@kandyman5315]

Removed right and blended in will look good
