How To Paint A Fiberglass Hood

[@bruces12]

Your videos are so informative. I like that you're showing all of the prep work and discussing it in easy to understand terminology for us "novices". Keep up the great work!!

[@PHARRAWAY]

Thank You brother

[@WJHandyDad]

I love how easy and effortless you make painting look

[@Void-gn9zm]

Great finish for such an odd spray gun technique. That’s the technique I use when using rattle cans lol.

[@davepelfrey3958]

Love watching that clear go on, instant shine!!

[@PHARRAWAY]

Yes it does brother yes it does

[@Patriot_Drone_Services]

PHARRAWAY - I watched your video for the first time and about had a stroke! Your spray technique melted every VOTECH instructor and “Pro” painter’s face lol 😂. I would never be able to spray panels using that pattern. It works for you and the proof is in the pudding, the end result is all that is important and it looks good to me 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼.

[@PHARRAWAY]

LOL Thanks brother yea but it works for me

[@silvergrizzly316]

I don't know why you don't already have over a million subscribers yet. You're that GOOD my friend!!! Take care and God Bless, I'm a new subscriber just try'n to watch some of your videos when I have time. 👍👍

[@PHARRAWAY]

Thank You, brother, I'm trying my best to get subscribers but o well

[@tat2joeelliott]

@pharraway I have a fender for a bike I wanna paint but it has graphics on it that has pinstripes on it and I don’t want them burning back thru my paint job. Any clue how I should handle that? Last time I dealt with fiberglass I cut into the gelcoat

[@Justmi2cents]

Nice looking work from here. I would love to see how much sanding between each coat? Thanks for posting

[@PHARRAWAY]

I did not sand between each coat just used a tack cloth between each pass

[@Ozarkprepper643]

Subscribed I see your way Beyond 30,000 now at 110000. Appreciate the lesson I have been practicing my painting on a couple Farm vehicles. Working up to painting my airplane which I am building out of S Glass. I have been filling and smoothing using microballoons since it's lighter and easier to sand then the epoxy resin alone. I did watch your pedal car video. I plan on painting this bush plane in metal flake, candy, and some Pearl fades. Green on top, purple on the sides, blue underneath. Lace top and bottom of the Wings. I will also be stenciling some country scenes. I still have practicing to do! LOL It looks as though my target weight of under 500 lb empty will be made. Has a 30 ft wingspan, Bush tires, and a 2300 type 1 eng. I have built it to look like an old hot rod complete with side pipes, suicide doors, and even a hilborn scoop that feeds two AMR 500 superchargers. Needless to say it isn't easy building something like this and keep it lite. Thanks again

[@PHARRAWAY]

Thank you

[@lindsayclark9431]

How well does the paint hold up on the rims ? I would think that they would scratch rather easy, but maybe not...

[@PHARRAWAY]

actually no they hold up really good

[@PHARRAWAY]

@Matt Miller Thank You Matt

[@rafaelechevarria4627]

Primero q nada quiero felicotarlo por el trabajo expectacular q a echo super smooth y limpio exelente tutorial. Pregunta q le quiero hacer bueno en realidad son dos uso acetona para limpiar el hood pq es de fiber glass o lo uso como sustituto de wax and grease remover. Y la otra pregunta es mas una recomendacion q quiero pedirle estoy trabajando unas piezas de motoras q son en nickel pero el cliente las quiere negras me recomienda q use adhesion promoter y despues lw aplique epoxy primer o solo con el epoxy primer es suficiente. Ya las piezas estan lijadas empese con 80 grit pq para opacar el nickel es super duro y finalize con 220 grit.

[@PHARRAWAY]

Gracias amigo si el acetone es para limpiar nada mas es que se me acavo el wax and grease remover y segundo yo te recomiendo que le eches adhesion promoter y le apliques sealer antes de la pintura

[@Boaz-gl6ho]

Thanks for making the videos in American and Mexican !!!gracias señor

[@PHARRAWAY]

Any time brother

[@robestey5628]

Just a few questions seeing your dealing with fiberglass. Is that a special paint or normal vehicle paint. I have a Boler trailer (old guy - dont know how to add a picture so you may have to google it to see what I am dealing with.). Its like a bubble trailer. All made from fiberglass. Would this technique work on painting it do you think? Its is a 72. Living in Canada so brutal winters and semi-hot summers. Any assistance or advise would be most welcome. Love your channel. Great work. Thank you.

[@PHARRAWAY]

it's normal paint, yes this technique will work

[@bentnickel7487]

Thanks for making the videos in Spanish and English.

[@PHARRAWAY]

Any time brother some people don't appreciated

[@prometheus6853]

Is it better to dry or wet sand when you started sanding with 400 and 600 grit over the guide coat?

[@PHARRAWAY]

Wet sand

[@HectorRodriguez-co6ey]

Hey brother im prepping a fiberglass rear end for my bike. Its going to be a bagger so what kind of gun you recommend? do i follow the same steps when prepping? BTW this was an awesome video!

[@superkamiguru1975]

Hey man awesome vid! Quick question tho, the clear coat on my fiber glass hood is peeling off and i was already thinking of painting it a different color. Would i just sand the clear coat off and paint from there or is there other steps i have to do?

[@PHARRAWAY]

No you can just sand it with 350grit and wet sand with 400grit and 600grit and you will be good to go

[@watever6742]

Nice work my friend, thanks for sharing. 👌

[@PHARRAWAY]

Thank You more to come

[@patrickpeterman4890]

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO; YOU DO A GREAT JOB; I HAVE SIMILAR SITUATION WHEREAS I AM REPAIRING "SPIDER STRESS CRACKS ON A RV; THE REAR AND FRONT CAPS ARE FIBERGLASS WITH A" GELCOAT FINISH; MY PLAN IS TO SAND THE GELCOAT DOWN AND USE A" MARINE GRADE FILLER" SPRAY A 2K URETHANE PRIMER (3 COATS) AND FINISH OFF THE REPAIR USING A "SINGLE STAGE URETHANE PAINT; IF YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE OR SUGGESTIONS THEY WOULD BE APPRECIATED, THANK YOU, PATRICK.P

[@moparninjanyc2362]

How much paint did you need for this? Great video also thanks.

[@bosslevelzero9541]

How do you not get dry spots painting in sections like that? Do you spray your final coat continuously?

[@PHARRAWAY]

no, I just dot he passes all the same but making sure I know where I'm at on the panel

[@bosslevelzero9541]

PHARRAWAY looks great. I guess I need to see the final coat being applied.

[@dannytheplumber7394]

What a great video , you do great work and make it look easy !

[@PHARRAWAY]

Thank You brother

[@djbachataben9036]

Excellent tutorial. Are you in SoCal? I need my hood and fender flares painted.

[@PHARRAWAY]

No, sorry

[@brianlutzak]

quick question bro, if I use all kandy wet wet on the cab of my truck and then use SPI universal clear for a couple panels like hood and fenders will it look weird? The reason I'm asking this is because I have some wet wet left that I would like to use up.

[@PHARRAWAY]

No, it would not clear is clear the only difference is the quality the wet wet will last a lot longer than the universal

[@brianlutzak]

@@PHARRAWAY thanks bro appreciate it

[@Adrien-gm4dr]

Will the same steps work with a fiberglass spoiler? And can I use rattle cans as paint?

[@PHARRAWAY]

Yes it will

[@vnkable]

In all the videos I watch, I don’t understand the guide coat? Just seems like they spray it on and it all looks the same... splotchy..How can you tell if a spot is high, does it really make it that much easier? Hard to tell

[@SprayWayCustoms]

Another job well done ✅

[@PHARRAWAY]

Thank You brother

Can you use spray paint? Haha. I want to buy a hellcat hood for my dodge dart, but the shops where I live want $400

[@shanebeaudrot777]

Love that hood👍

[@christhenaedwards5772]

what was the product that you used as a guide coat? Also did you spray the guide coat every time you sanded or did you just spray the guide coat one time and sanded.

[@PHARRAWAY]

The guide I used was just flat paint from Walmart $1 paint

[@CCK-jd8nc]

How much does all of this cost to do it yourself? I want to paint a fiberglass wing

[@PHARRAWAY]

[@jayg1358]

Will the primer take care of the waves or do I need to use body filler I have a fiberglass body kit I’m trying to put together

[@colehara]

What kind of fun are you using? Beautiful job.

[@brianfilko]

Is it personal preference to not spray the whole width of the hood at once?

[@PHARRAWAY]

yes

Ok my friend need some advice bought a used fiberglass hood it was never properly finished someone just spray bombed it black what is the best thing to use to remove the paint so the paint shop dont have a mess to clean off before they start glazing and painting it correctly ?

[@PHARRAWAY]

your best bet is to add 2k primer so you can block it down before paint

[@EddieAvila_]

How does paint hold on fiberglass ?

[@PHARRAWAY]

If done right it can last about 10 or more years

[@socalRooster]

Can I ask what brand of gun you are using?
