Great job as always, Chris. I sprayed that color on a 59 Chevy truck, along with India Ivory white for the second tone. It turned out great. Always enjoy your videos, thanks for all the knowledge on doing it right.

[@timhudson8958]

I’m using a DV1 ,1.3 and C1 cap lays pretty flat . What hardener did you use with the FC740 and did you reduce it any if so what temp range? I had a ton of dust nibs last time I sprayed I think my new filters suck and a little to much air flow. Do you not run your jet heater because of the combustion of clear or not to stir up dust? Thanks for your good content!

Fantastic job, can't wait too see this car fully painted :D

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Hi Chris, hope you and your family had a great Christmas and New Year and I hope 2025 will be a great year for you👌really enjoyed the video there was some very useful tips to reduce the amount of dirt in the clearcoat something which I really struggled with when I first started painting but these days I'm happy with how my jobs come out in my homemade booth👍 It was nice to see Daris behind the gun again but please tell him to always wear a mask when painting, as you know this is a dangerous trade so PPE is very important as it's something that creeps up on you as you get older, a mask will ensure he enjoys his retirement👏🙏👍John UK

[@oldschooltwist18]

its good that you said the failing clear should be stripped off. i spray close to the same except i would start at one edge, go to the middle and continue to the other edge as the wet edge stays wetter as you go around to the other side. overall great video...

[@stevec5657]

I was one of the people who recommended the FC740. Flows out beautifully and has tons of gloss. I'm great on hoods, roofs and trunk lids with it, but still dialing in the vertical surfaces (a.k.a. couple of runs) 😆 Glad you tried it out.

[@GarageNoise]

I got a run too on one side. You'll see in the next episode. 😁

[@stevec5657]

​@@GarageNoise I'm almost thinking 2 cups with a faster catalyst mixed in the 2nd one just for the sides. Mostly kidding 😆

[@toycoma98]

I use 710 and 720, whats special about the 740? Whats the difference?

[@eapauto]

Chris what tip do you have in the Sagola?

[@GarageNoise]

1.2 xl

[@mtuhro]

I always look forward to your video's. The traditionally formulated lacquer thinner is getting harder to purchase for the DIY'er in my state. What is your opinion on using Acetone to clean out paint guns?

[@Stingyduce]

Nice work !

[@GarageNoise]

Appreciate it!

[@nathanield.4527]

How long after the clear coat is applied do you wait before cutting and buffing?

[@GarageNoise]

I wait 24 hrs

[@janpakx]

Thank you very much for nice videos , could you please make a video to how paint calipers ? Thank you very much

[@GarageNoise]

Ty, I will if I get a chance

[@chrisvdwesthuizen7396]

The clear coat gun was that a hi or low volume gun?

[@GarageNoise]

The Sagola is a high Efficiency or He paint gun which is in between a Hvlp and lvlp

[@01bogwoppit]

Hi , would you ever put water down on the workshop floor ? Happy new year from the UK

[@GarageNoise]

Yes we do, Didn't mention it but I do do that sometimes

[@mitchellferre1652]

Water on the floor sounds great until you try it. Get ready for a mess. Just hit the floor with a shop vac a day or two before you spray. You don't want water droplets dripping off the air hose on the panel during clear coat stage. Water is the Kiss of Death for clear coat. Nice Sagola 4600. A very expensive gun and worth every penny.

[@TD-ce5ru]

I noticed you used Nason XL base, and then used a Sherwin Williams product clear coat . How did you (we) know if those are compatible? Did you have to go to separate paint supply shops to buy it.

[@GarageNoise]

The technical data sheet will tell you if the clear is compatible with your base coat, most are these days. I buy my paint at O'reilly's believe it or not and my clear for Amazon or the local Sherwin williams store.

[@TD-ce5ru]

Thanks. So the technical data sheet even shows other brands?. I need to now see what brand filler primer you use. I am restoring a 1970 Mach 1 and will be painting it in my garage this spring. It is ready for primer and block sanding. Thanks for motivating me.

[@kenmastersmaster]

Do you ever get die back or fish eye from this clear coat when you apply it as thick as you did? How do you fix dieback? Another flow coat?

[@GarageNoise]

First time I used the fc740. I hammered it on and no die back. Die back will wet sand and buff out tho

[@kenmastersmaster]

@GarageNoise do you put an extra coat if you plan to cut and compound or is two enough?

[@Supercarlsunday]

Hi, there looked to be a bit of mapping in the basecoat, around the primed areas. I tend to always dust the base on to start with every time so I don't get any problems and work from there applying heavier coats. I generally thin out and do a dust/ drop coat before lacquer and yes I tack off every coat in between. Did you thin the lacquer at all? Also good idea for viewers to check spec sheet of any lacquer they are using for times between coats ect. By the way, another great video! Good tips for your viewers! Have you ever thought about building your own spray booth? Or even get a second hand one for cheap maybe.. Thanks for taking the time to read my comment.

[@kyle7063]

How long to wait between base and clear ? Just til dry or is it ok to wait a full day or two or week even ? Thanks Chris. You’re videos are helping me prep for my first paint job

[@tony1798]

Which hardner did you use? Standard or fast?

[@GarageNoise]

Standard

[@tony1798]

@GarageNoise i used standard hardner with med reducer two days ago, and it's still not all the way hard. It's 20 degrees here. So I heat the garage til 65-70 when painting, but I don't leave the heater on when I leave. Tomorrow, I'm getting fast reducer/ hardner for the other side with upol rocket accelerator What do u think

[@busterstravels1534]

Hello thanks for the video, can you please tell me the color name and color code. Ty

[@GarageNoise]

Cati green 125j

[@eapauto]

Chris did you ever try the lph400?

[@GarageNoise]

Yes, I had one for awhile really good gun wish I had it back.

[@Joe-yz7fk]

That color looks like a sage green. I had a 1975 cutlass that color.

[@GarageNoise]

Yeah that color is pretty unique!

[@darrenlub]

Seems so sloppy with the base. The results are impressive. Great job. Love the color.

[@GarageNoise]

I kind of felt that way when I was spraying it. That color sprays on odd. It goes on in different shades. So it looked really strange when I was spraying it, it doesn't look uniform, then when it dries it kind of evens out.

[@kevinmerrill8074]

Do you recommend masking and spraying the roof of an suv instead a continuous spray of the entire car?

[@GarageNoise]

I do , I like to break it up I don't want to kill myself painting it all at once

[@charlesloar3210]

Another great video! So much good information. What size do you recommend for base and clear with a budget gun like a HF Black Widow.

[@GarageNoise]

1.3 for that gun

[@g35monsta]

@garagenoise love the work! Have a quick question when do you peel off paper/plastics/tape after clear how long do I wait to avoid lifting up paint!?

[@GarageNoise]

Good question and I will include that in the next video. If I'm taping right up against trim or something that the clear might bridge across then I want to peel that tape before it's fully cured. Typically when it's almost dry to the touch. Great question!

[@g35monsta]

Thank you so much for that look forward to videob

[@toycoma98]

Since its a color change, are you gonna do inside the door jams and under the hood? Why not just color match and just paint the exterior?

[@GarageNoise]

I am doing the jambs, maybe not immediately but they will get sprayed. If fo nothing else I think my subscribers would like to see it.

[@nobodyhere4961]

Good video .... What brand/style respirator do you use when you spray?

[@GarageNoise]

3m respirator amzn.to/422gLkF

[@paulnewton943]

Nice finish alright. I would love a 4600. How many cfm'sfor that set up on the clear you were using.

[@GarageNoise]

It's actually just a little over 11C FM So this gun would probably work well with a thirty gallon compressor that I have from harbor freight.I'm gonna have to test that out, maybe I'll make a video on it.

[@JackCrack-p3s]

@@GarageNoise So that compressor will put out 11cfm, at what pressure do you run then? Really would like to see a vid on doing that. Actually thot you had done similar in past, with review of LVLP guns for a full job, but can't find vid. Does that 740 stuff work with any base coat brand? Got a 13 corolla with the flaked off white Toyota already 'fixed' once under Recall. Yeah. So also trying to figure out if all the green primer under should come off too. Going to do it myself this time. Dont have $8K, and can't be worse.

[@paulnewton943]

That is what i love to see. Love the speed and flow out rate of the sagola 4600's, no seal technology. Brilliant machining. Did I mention how much i like them. Ha ha thanks Chris

[@GarageNoise]

@@JackCrack-p3s harbor freight will do 9cfm at 30psi which wouldn't be quite enough air for the sagola I bet It would be ok for a couple panel at a time.

[@GarageNoise]

@@JackCrack-p3s They didn't fix it correctly that's terrible. Definitely remove the green primer. I think that's the cause of those issues.

[@illmanneredplayer]

So no sealer, just primer a sealer necessary to paint a car?

[@GarageNoise]

It's not totally necessary, however I would recommend it for bumpers and the hood. I didn't use it on this vehicle. It does help to prevent paint from chipping from stones and minor impacts. I'll keep you posted on how it holds up.

[@illmanneredplayer]

@GarageNoise thank you man. Really appreciate you replying 💯, yes keep us updated and keep those videos coming 💪🪨

[@johncbr650re]

Looks great I would go with millennium jade from the GTR R35 looks close to this color but just better imo

[@sivucit]

hi just donated to your channel . what i donated is nothing infornt of your services and tips and knowledge that you are shraring. Appreciate if you can aswer below question i paint cars in my home alll time. one challenge i face on horizontal panel like hood is that once i am done with clear coat it looks fantastic but after 10 to 20 minutes , the fumes that got created while applying clear coat land back on to the hood because of horizontal surface, i always always have to wet sand and buff to overcome. some says open garage door to half and put some exhuast fan to get the fumes sucked out so it wont land back on panel again. How did you overcome this. please advise.

[@GarageNoise]

Honestly, I don't think it's the overspay that's causing this. I've never had that problem. I hear people say that all the time. It's most likely what's called die back caused by waiting too long in between Coats of clear. If you wait too long, it's gonna severely impact the dieback. Now I could be totally wrong if you're actually feeling overspray on the panel, and you know for sure it's overspray.Then I would definitely get a exhaust fan to remove some of the fumes. if you're losing gloss, Then it's probably dieback, or what they call pinching.That can be caused by Waiting too long in between Coats of clear. Depending on the temperature should only be ten to fifteen minutes in-between coats. Dieback can also be caused by cheap, clear coat as well. If it's actually overspray that you can feel on the panel after it dries, then definitely get rid of some of those fumes, it really shouldn't take much.

[@sivucit]

@@GarageNoise Thanks so much for the tip. one last question which is mystery for me. when ever i fill bondo , prime and paint it, i see the work slightly after the clear. 1. i tried sanding with higher grid, people say if i use too fine grind work will show. 2. i used guide coat to sand to ensure all the guide marks are cleared. 3. i always use 1k primer from spray can (SEM) ... 4. i paint in about an hour after priming .. SEEMS LIKE that primer is shrinking. or i am not waiting for cure or i have to use 2k primer and wait atleast 3 to 5 hours before painting. any tips is greatly appreciated.

[@Frank-cx2fj]

Great to watch you paint. I have an issue with my clear. After painting my doors I let the clear dry for about 3 weeks and installed them on the vehicle. After about 3 more weeks on the vehicle the clear coat reacted with the rubber seal around the doors. I am not sure what went wrong as I mixed the clear per the instructions and it looked great when it was done. Any help would be appreciated.

[@GarageNoise]

That's really weird! It sounds like a chemical reaction. Is it an older vehicle? Did you seal it? The reason Ibasknis older vehicles used a different style of paint a 1k at that can cause a reaction.

[@Frank-cx2fj]

@@GarageNoiseI sealed it with epoxy prior to base coat. I also noticed the clear coat is reacting or wrinkling at the door handles where there is a rubber gasket. It’s only reacting where it touches any type of rubber.

[@rongamble9884]

[@RS-gh2mf]

Anytime you sand your base coat, you really should give it another cost of color, otherwise you can see sand scratches in the clear.

[@GarageNoise]

Did I not show that? Absolutely need another coat of base and I did that but I really should have mentioned it.

You can buy gun for 5000$ too but it won’t help if you are beginner and have no idea . Professional painter can do professional job with 20$ gun too because he has years of experience

[@GarageNoise]

[@kenmastersmaster]

@@jw200 let's not kid ourselves even the best painter will get poor results from one of those hf paint guns. Equipment definitely makes a huge difference. Experience is important as well but again if you use $20 paint guns you might as well use aerosols to put on your clear.
