How To Paint a Car Guide: Episode 5 Masking and Painting

[@scorpionpaint]

Wow, all the work you put in this car was really worth it, thank you once again for having been part of this project, I really enjoyed it a lot and we had a lot of fun, thank you my brother, I hope to be able to do many more projects with you.

Watching this video back brings back a lot of awesome memories that Sunday ! Let’s do it again real soon!

What gun was Pedro using for clear?

What pressure would you recommend spraying the w400 for clear?

[@crispuloguerrero9266]

Yellow tape and marking paper same links..great job by the way

[@stevec5657]

I'm so glad you guys are showing how tedious and time consuming each step of the process is. Hopefully viewers wanting their vehicle painted, will better appreciate why a quality paint job is so expensive . . . . ie: labor is expensive plus lots of tape, masking paper, sandpaper etc. Thanks for the ongoing video series 👍

[@8a41jt]

(WARNING: I've never painted a car, ever) This entire series, so far, has shown me how important prep is. The actual shooting of the various coats (primer+body work, sealer, base, clear) is so little of the time represented. Masking appears to be the step where the devil's in the details, and these details were thoroughly explained. You taught me what there is to know about back masking, and why it's so important. I love the scenes where the masking comes off!! Thanks, am looking forward to episode 6!

[@garydillon3960]

Pedro sure is a gabby fellow but very professional. I enjoyed your videos. God Bless To All.

[@0xcart]

I watched a bunch of your videos and painted basecoat and clearcoat for the first time. It turned out amazing. Using your tips on setting up the gun, prepping and spraying I got a totally decent result for a fraction of the price of a body shop. Thanks

[@outaugust]

How much did you end up spending?

[@bradeascu]

Thanks again, Paint Society, for this pure-gold-material. I'm getting ready for my second Complete Paint Job at my home garage thanks to you guys, and I have to admit: a recap of all the process helps a lot! Thumbs-up from Romania 🇷🇴🌎🇺🇸👍🚘👨‍🔧

[@stephenwhitemore9120]

One of the most interesting things I've seen for a long time. You are both a credit to your profession. Thank you for showing this.

[@mikeymike3240]

I was taught to use 1” masking tape for all the initial masking then use the paper roll with the tape on it to mask everything else. I really loved spraying cars, that feeling when you take the masking paper off and you see the finished product, sweeeeeeeeet Ps….. That’s a beautiful fan spray, making me want to start painting again lol 😝 Pps…..we always started on the roof and worked our way down. Ppps….this is really therapeutic for me watching you work.

When you are wiping the car down when cleaning my husband learned the hard way to wipe in one direction because you can cross contaminate

Probably every painters nightmare but u should totally do a patina (faux-tina) paint job. That would be awesome to see your take on it. I say nightmare because most painters i know are meticulous and want the paint to be perfect.

Thank you for this series! Very timely for me. You mixed 60 oz of sealer and 128 oz base for the complete job. Are those the reduced, sprayable product amounts? How much additional should I mix if I'm not a skilled sprayer like you!? 🙂

I'm just sanding, priming, painting, and clear coating the badly peeling passenger and driver window pillars/frames on 2010 Civic - nowhere else in the car. Where you have a foam around the door jams I have the rubber gaskets on the door (that I think I see hanging loose in the video) and at the bottom of the window. What do you recommend to mask the windows with the rubber in-place? Great series BTW!

[@zemoney954]

❤Great Video and color, Thanks for sharing...how long was dry time before removing the tape? I usually screw that up

[@AmiriKnImport]

Been binging your videos the last couple of days being stuck at home with covid. How much paint did you use to cover the car after the sealer? love your vids been enjoying them alot. thanks for all help to the painting community.

[@bgee461]

He said mix 100-128 Oz of base, which makes sense for 2 coats plus an orientation spray

[@chuckp8705]

Nice video. I'm at this stage now, so it was good to watch. When you back-mask, then lay paper or plastic, I see you then tape the front side. What is the reason for doing that, to ensure the seal? And for spraying the sealer with one person, you say to start at the bottom, go up, and then back down, so go over the same areas twice?

No need too. Spray it the way you want it to look 😀

Hi, good job guys. Very therapeutic to see paint being applied and getting a good finish and outcome.Just wondering how long to wait between base coat to clear coat?

[@PaintSociety]

25/30 minutes

[@rameshdas9272]

Very nice

[@iansanderson]

I like that he properly masked-off the upper and lower grilles on the front bumper. A lot of bodyshops just spray the whole thing and it ruins the character of the car.

[@nicoljrbenoit]

OMG, near flawless... I wish I could do my car like this, but i'm kinda scared to mess up.

[@nilsendjer3079]

Try bicycle frames. Small areas, cheap if second hand, some tricky inside corners for learning and you do not need much paint. I started like that using a 0,8mm Mini-gun, 2K UHS, pearl-pigments. You can do this everywhere and anytime.

[@markperez6195]

I had a small burn through (thin 2 inch down to metal ) while buffing a door panel. Can I just apply some sealer to this small burn through or must i apply etching primer / putty first?

[@erice5429]

Great video. You guys cover a lot of info. Question, can you provide the information about the foam tape. I would love to try to paint my car at home and all of this information is so useful.

[@billydurie3671]

Hey Brian Thanks for you videos I used to paint commercial vehicles now I cater to disabled veterans since I’m one myself but my question is I used to use sata but now I’m using iwata but I just purchased a tekna clear coat gun what do you think I was using the super nova for clear but I also have ws400 and LPH 400 Thanks Billy

[@1down5up78]

Hi Brian! The car came out amazing, I love it 😍. I have a simple question - how much time after the last coat of clear must pass to peel the tape? Once part of my clear coat peeled with the tape 😔. I think because I left it for 24 hours to get dry.

[@PaintSociety]

You can wait 24 hours unless you have tape next to the clear. Then pull after an hour

[@1down5up78]

After you sand the old clearcoat off do you have to prime the entire vehicle before repainting?

[@jeremysmith2753]

Do you ever have any problems with the color matching when you paint panels and such at different times?? And any advice or tricks to making sure they match when you spray them at different times like you did in this video. Thanks for any help and advice.

[@ssan3257]

So glad you are not painting every car ugly gray like the factories are doing.

[@iCampSometimes2]

I appreciate these videos a lot! I’ve been following along trying to learn a new skill with this series! Is spraying the sealer an absolutely necessary step prior to start laying the base coat? Or can you lay your base coat on top of the prepped and sanded gray urethane surfacer and skip the sealer step altogether? Thanks a lot for these helpful vids!

[@salineselin2969]

Thanks for another great video! It might just be how it looks, but that 1st layer of clear looked a lot thicker than I normally see you put down. Was there anything about this paintjob that made that possible? This one's a weird question, but have you ever had to deal with condensation dripping from your 3m respirator? I find that if I work with it for more than around 30 minutes with one of those masks, condensation starts to form when I exhale and it can drip out of the mask's exhaust port.

[@boyanbyankow5192]

Hi this condenzation happes when is cold in the booth most of the time. In warmer ambient should be no issue

[@ScottGiltrap]

Sorry for the newbie question.. But I know when you are putting the paint on you do lots of separate thinner coats, letting it flash off in between. This prevents lots of build up of different thicknesses of paint and runs etc. But I notice that when you put on the clear coat you would make quite a few passes back and forth on the same area. Is clear coat a lot for forgiving than paint?

[@livedeliciously]

I think he probably has a good feel of how much he can push the thickness for each layer of clear.

[@scottfurlong5475]

I noticed you always say to wipe in one direction but then you go ahead and wipe in both directions like you're washing a window. Lol! It must be incredibly hard to fight the urge to wipe in both directions, I can't do it either. I'm soaking up all the knowledge I can in preparation to paint my truck. I feel like I'm enrolled in PSU (paint society university).

[@jordanp6420]

So if you weren’t using sealer would you sand to 600 then 800? Instead of just sanding to 400 and spraying the sealer then base/clear.

[@paranoidkev1776]

Hi! Great videos. Been watching for a while now. I am in the Los Angeles area and have some questions. I am doing most of the prep work outside in my driveway. I am sanding down some areas with 60 grit, bondo, and building it back up with 100, 150, 220 grit. From there I will get the entire car with 220, and 320. So my quetsion is can I do a final round of 400 grit, wash the car, and tow it to the paint booth, clean, mask and tape, clean, and hit it with primer, base coats, and clear?

[@kikozaa1140]

Great video bro i have a question for a 1.4 mm nozzle tip what psi is for base coat and clear coat im new and i want to learn i hope hear from u? thanks

Would be great if you could do a video on how to mask up an entire car without removing any bodywork.
