Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "how to paint a whole car" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Banayce Wordless Blueprint - (search on google ) ? It is a great one off product for discovering how to master car body work and spraying techniques without the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my partner got great success with it.

[@hoodparticles]

Just got a nice gig prepping paint on cars, my history is mainly in wheel recon so these are nice to refresh and learn with, thank you

[@arturogotti3790]

I first use regilar body filler and get the panel near straight, then I use glaze putty over a larger area ontop and it turns out perfect every single time. It makes things easy I love glaze putty

[@saumur69ify]

I was looking for some information that I couldn't find on KZbin and you have answered my questions thank you for your amazing video . Finally back to work ! 😉 The information I was looking for was on your first video here.

[@Redsled71]

Pretty solid basic info for doing a complete really. Ive done restos, and I work professional collision, so things differ when you have blend panels and such. But I'd reccomend for some DIY. Absolutely! Great basic information here and things you should adhere to as a rule of thumb.

Can you use primer sealer instead of primer surfacer?

[@7UpYors]

Great video. Lots of info. So for example, if i want to paint my trunk lid to plain flat no gloss black, what steps do i take and what grid do i use? The trunk lid is gold, btw.

What kind of sander should I get for my paint job?

[@CarAddictGarage]

3M makes good DA sanders, but there are probably cheaper DA sanders that will work fine. ere is a link to the 3M DA sander amzn.to/3pknUIS. I have also used chicago pneumatic and they worked well also.

You need a 6inch da, no exceptions.

Thank you for such an informative video. What is your opinion on primer and paint in one can?

Not sure if ill get a response but worth a try i want to primer my vehicle body is straight what sanding steps do i need to take before priming thank you.

[@MicroBullyCorp]

What do u mix ur paint with ?? How do U prep ur paint before filling ur gun ?????im new and trying to learn

[@CT-te3kb]

Wouldnt you use the wax and grease remover before priming and after sanding? What type of WG remover do you use?

[@s54jimmy75]

I have an 03 escalade that has some highway scatches and a fee small dings..whats the best body filler to use and is whats the best overall grit to smooth the entire truck?

[@265chevy]

good video

[@CarAddictGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@billcurtis6727]

What is the diffence between orbital & D A sanders ? When sanding a door for primer/base/clear which sander do I use & what grit ? Which one is wet or dry or both ?

[@dmstudiofoto8784]

After all that prep, right before primer must we wash the car panel or just wipe with something?

[@CarAddictGarage]

If there is exposed metal and body filler, then I would just wipe it good with a cleaner before priming. Once primed and blocked, then I would wash it.

[@wajhisyed786]

Sir I want know that what is paint striping...and what grate abrasive use for panit striping...

[@MikohFPS]

I own a Integra that was spray painted by previous owner. how should I approach this?

[@AMGTestDriverNJ]

so yea...I'm going to need you to just go ahead and paint my car then, k?

[@Themrleonkennedy1]

Okay so use 180 grant on the entire car, than refinish sides or feather edging by using 220 on a DA, and final sand with 400-600 grit on Da with inner face pad to prevent sand marks? I'm doing all the sanding so I can take car to the shop to be reprimed and painted. This shouldn't be to hard. Thanks

[@CarAddictGarage]

If there are no problems with the paint, peeling, too many mils, etc, then you can skip the 180 and 220 and just final sand with 400 to 600. Then they can apply primer sealer and paint. Are there any dents you need to repair?

[@Themrleonkennedy1]

+DIY Auto Body and Paint The car was repainted before, not a good job was done because there some cracking on driver door and I can see cracks from original paint under new paint at hood. I'm thinking of doing 220 grit and final sanding with 500 grit, what would you do? Thanks for the reply that was mighty white of you to do😊

[@Jsellers1965]

How long should I wait before painting after primer? Is there a time limit max and min between primer and paint?

[@Brummielad2010]

hi love the video i wanna know can i use filler to get rid of deep scratchs as ive got subaru impreza gf8 wagon thats got all deep scratchs on?

[@frankhardy123]

Don't use filler on scratches, especially deep ones. The repair will likely sink and be noticeable six months later. Always feather out a scratch with DA and prep a blend panel or two next to it (depending upon where the damage is) then prime, block sand, then respray.

[@ashleyfoster4928]

Any ideas on how to remove old dealer installed graphics

[@redwingsgo12]

Ashley theyre just stickers. A hairdryer melts the glue and it should peel right off

[@DapperD942]

I have an 89 Mustang LX. I bought it back in October and being 17 it's my daily drive. I know I shouldn't but I need it until I can afford another car. it has a little rust hear and there a dent and some flaking paint on the rear wheel well. How should I go about fixing those spots that have imperfections? And how long would it take

[@CarAddictGarage]

Hey Derrick, there are a lot of variables depending on the condition. Is the rust just surface rust on top of the panel or is it rusted through the panel?

[@DapperD942]

DIY Auto Body and Paint in some spots it's only on the top but I fear in others it's a hole I haven't done stuff to it because I need more money

[@limptriskit773]

@@DapperD942 im doing my 88 mustang coupe if theres a hole and or bubbling of the paint theres most likely a good deal of rust underneath and if you want to remove that rust properly you gotta cut it out and weld a new piece in when I cut the small patch out I found just about my whole qp was fucked due to a hacky fix from the dude I got it off

[@Chooooty]

I have a truck and the clear coat is flaking off because of the sun do I need to sand off all the clear coat? if I don't and the truck is repainted won't it keep peeling off?

[@CarAddictGarage]

Yes, but you can do a partial strip. Good new is that if it's flaking off, then it's real thin and should not take long. I made a video about that. It's the first video on this lesson... www.collisionblast.com/paint-defects/ Thanks for watching and I hope this helps.

[@maxie9506]

What does "highs" and "lows" mean? I notice it's used when using guide coat.

[@keonejones7283]

It’s lower then its suppose to be in an area and higher then it’s suppose to be in an area.

[@timbond7998]

Great

[@filesshared9431]

Is the primer process necessary after all of this sanding?

[@CarAddictGarage]

Only on areas where you did body work or have imperfections. If the panel does not have any damage that was repaired then you should not have to prime and block sand.

[@filesshared9431]

The Garage Butler thanks for the reply. What about areas that has bare metal showing? Does bare metal require primer or will finishing off at 800 grit suffice?

[@CarAddictGarage]

No, any bare metal will need self etch primer or epoxy primer applied before top coating.

[@frankhardy123]

Always prime on top of filler. It will help remove any imperfections in the sanding. It will also help to get the correct colour when painting. Donnie is correct about the etch, it must go on bare metal to remove corrosion and allow the primer to adhere. Everything else Eastwoods does is nonsense, some of the worst 'Professional' body repairs on youtube.

Do you wash it after the final sanding stage?

Yes, I always wash it right before I pull it in the booth.

[@chevyengine307]

I have sema show shirts just like that one lmao

[@mrfunatparties6763]

will i save money if i do my own sanding before i have it painted. or would i end up paying the same

[@CarAddictGarage]

That is something you need to talk to a shop about. That will be each shops call of what they will do.

[@waynejohnson7134]

why are your students not wearing dusts mask when sanding.

[@John-de2et]

what about long sleeves is that necessary? Or does the dust not really do anything upon skin contact

[@terrythompson9465]

Donnie loved the video.. I have a 68 firebird that needs some body work and paint , I am trying to do this by myself , I am disable and on social security. do you know of some votec schools that does projects like this?

[@CarAddictGarage]

Terry Thompson Every school has different policies. Check with your local college to see if they will or not.

Instead of nose protection they are using eyes protection :)
