I appreciate the honesty in this video. Imperfection is life!

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Always! Thanks

[@ttttenney]

Finally, someone who knows what they're doing actually took the time to explain when to add primer to plastic parts and when it's not necessary. Thank you, from your newest subscriber and fan!

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching and welcome to the family

[@jn1ty]

But if you had to add the cheat coat to balance out the black plastic and the primed piece why not just prime both to match? @@ThePaintPaperHustle

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

You absolutely can. But primer is more expensive than scrap base coat that’s left over. So it’s simply cutting coat and time bc then that primer would also need sanding before paint meaning more time.

[@charlieroberts4913]

Great video. I have no painting experience, I was just looking how to spray my fog light covers and came across this and now I think I’ve found a new hobby😁

You’re very welcome buddy

[@stevengonyaw1617]

Many might not agree, but i use windex for my final wipe down, then a tack cloth. Had nothing but good luck.

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

I’ve heard of a lot of people doing that

[@rodneyfelder383]

Hey buddy, it’s looking good.

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Thanks Rodney

[@Amxracer]

Cool 😎 . ! 🎉

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

[@klutch14u]

So I want to rattle can (color match) my black texture door handles (on a Ford Maverick). Do I need to sand them completely smooth or leave a little of the texture for bite?

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

You can do either. I prefer to do them exactly like I did in this video either way depending on what out come I want

[@mojnetisra1552]

What about 2024 Mustang rear diffsuer, spoiler lip, grille and side skirts? Thanks!

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

If it’s textured plastic then it’s the same way

[@donalddooley4737]

Courtney I'm just a step below John wiped with TAC cloth and painted water truck

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Hey buddy that’s a step above a lot of folks 💪🏻 rock on

[@mrglock2380]

Im looking to paint my bumper covers on my chevy. What do i need other than primer, base and clear? What would i need hardeners or promoters for? Never painted before trying to learn a little

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Every product is different so you need to refer to that products tech sheet to see if it needs hardeners or reducers and what the ratios are. Besides that it’s the same steps as in this video. Good luck

[@seveneleven45]

what do you use for your guide coat?

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Just a rattle can of black guide coat from local paint supplier. Cant remember brand.

[@garthbrady12]

I bought base and clear from a paint store but have access to aviation grade high build primer. Think I could use the primer? TDS and my research says they aren’t compatible but to test it out

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Personally if you have it I’d try it. Just let the primer dry for a few days before painting over top of. But if you don’t want to risk it then a quart of 2k primer shouldn’t be much at all

[@blue4democracy]

Thank you for this video!! I'm watching it about 4 days late (I now have a crappy paint job to sand down and retry, lol). I was wondering if there is a clear-coat in a rattle can that you recommend? I'm just an owner looking to save a little cash. I want it to look nice and stand the test of time, but I don't have a big paint-gun like that to use.

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

If I was to use rattle can clear it’d be a 2k rattle can clear. Any brand as long as it’s a 2k clear which would probably need to be ordered online unless you have a local paint supplier that sells them

[@blue4democracy]

@@ThePaintPaperHustle Thank you!

[@prubbsingh81]

Very int

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Thanks

[@Gbfaninnm]

Great video! Is it possible to take a glossy part (door handle) and texture it? Ordered a replacement and they sent the wrong one. Thanks!

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

I’ve never tried that. Maybe could use plastic dip to give it a satin black look like textured plastic

[@allenherman6751]

🎉🎉👍🏾🎊🎊

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

🍻

[@stevesummers4266]

Damn video a few days late for me been sanding tow mirror for a few hrs. Trying to get them smooth guess new year not going to be any easier 🙃

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Hey they will look amazing when you’re done

[@eduardoherrera8994]

Good stuff! Working on Jeep fenders. After spraying the guide coat on. What grit sand paper do you recommend using?

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

For blocking the primer I use 320

[@luvleelocs6795]

Hey how did your Jeep Fenders come out?

[@robertbrown445]

Hi Courtney, this is my first comment/question ( I've enjoyed the channel for a couple months now however) so a question on guide coat that I've never understood : I always see painters apply guide coat entirely uneven (like stripes or some range of an irregular pattern) why isn't guide coat laid down in one even coat? That would then allow you to see the dings or high spots as you sand over it. I'm assuming that you are still able to see the highs or lows but I just don't understand why a guide coat wouldn't be laid down in one even layer instead of a random stripes pattern. I love the channel. I appreciate your positive attitude about what happened with your coyote motor at TKM. I just fired up my ZL1 project motor and was anxiously checking oil pressure!! Thank you Robert B.

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Robert ok first off thanks a ton for watching and thanks for asking the question as that’s exactly what I want this channel to do is help others. So my first question is have you used guide coat? If you have not then I think using it as we show you’ll quickly see works. Here’s why. Everyone just dust it all over the place bc it puts small dots literally everywhere. If you look closely when I show this in this video you’ll see that the black is all over the place. When you sand primer with guide coat the primer quickly turns as clean and pure as clean white snow but light grey lol. So it’s super easy to see where there’s still guide coat being it goes all over the place in a fine mist. Applying it in even patterns won’t hurt anything at all so feel free to do so. However don’t waste it as it’s not dirt cheap. I think using it you’ll see it just takes a fast dusting. Next time you use it on primer try half in even pattern and over half just dusted quickly all over and see what you think. Lastly I’m glad you checked oil pressure lol. I wish I would of known to not trust the gauge and also feel oil pan for heat as Kevin did at TKM to prove hot oil was flowing. It’s going to be a very expensive mistake on my part that I’ll hopefully never make again. Thanks so much for watching it means a ton!

[@robertbrown445]

Thank you that makes sense now! and no I've never painted anything except with a rattle can(I'm pretty good with a rattle can by the way Lol) I'm a dentist with 6 kids and I have built a few motors but never painted anything. I am however fascinated by paint and body professionals like you and I feel like I would totally enjoy painting like you someday! Thank you for your videos! I love them!

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

If you’re good with a can then you can handle this. I enjoy my style painting bc it’s stress free. I don’t normally do big high end paint jobs where I have to worry about trash or quality I just paint and have fun doing it. From time to time we do high end work but they are never fun as a good ole salvage title flip car.

[@kurtmiller2254]

What would be the process if the grill was that plastic chrome and I wanted color on it ?

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Basically same thing. Scuff it, bull dog, then paint. No primer needed.

[@justt_a_catt2519]

I was bout to drop 700$ at a paint shop until i saw this video, thankyou

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Awesome I’m so glad I could help you

[@tylerhettman]

How many coats of primer, base, and clear do you do?

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Depends on the job. This one I don’t remember honestly. Primer probably 2 coats and base depends on color. Clear 2-4

@ThePaintPaperHustle thanks I was hoping you was in MICHIGAN 🤣🤣

@henrythompson5624 you’re welcome

[@danielrita9663]

U saying how much that color was made me think of the history of fords mystichrome paint at one it was really expensive and a dealer rep had to come out and open it for u to use and cap it up and would take the rest of what wasn't used thay wouldn't let u keep it so others wouldn't have the color code to copy it and thay got there's a gt40 online that has a level 5 of the color the paint cost more than the car it's crazy

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Oh wow that’s interesting and crazy I did not know that man thanks for sharing

[@johnniemo]

Confused. You state that you don't primer the grill because it will add thickness. Then you add a layer of throw away paint to get a closer colour match. Won't it add the same thickness you are seeking to avoid? Appreciate the content. Subscribed.

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Yes but I’d be adding primer, then drop coat, then correct color vs just drop coat and correct color

[@johnniemo]

@@ThePaintPaperHustle then why not just primer and correct color?

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

@johnniemo only to save money. If I use old scrap paint that’s close to the same color then it takes less paint of the correct color that I have to buy which saves me a lot per year.

[@mru5170]

Where is this guy located

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

If you’re asking about me then I’m located in Wilmington NC

Way too much jumping around with your info. Tell us to do something then say why you don't? Very confusing video.
