Sort of related- a few weeks back I discovered the existence of de-nib files, as I'm a painting newb, I had a ton of runs on my Dad's van, but after allowing time to dry, they helped knock down the bulk of the runs in no time, meaning only a bit of wet sanding needed to finish the job. Highly recommended if you're learning and don't fancy spending hours sanding back your mistakes.

[@jimzivny1554]

I got some from Eastwood about 25 years ago, they are definitely a help.

[@jimprovax6846]

Hi Brian. Crazy things happen. Tolecut blocks are my favorite for these defects. I like a tape trick. Great explanation. The end result came out slick. Enjoy your weekend. Grab a cold one after baking in the spray booth.

[@PaintSociety]

It worked and I will tell you, it sometimes doesn’t but lesson learned😀. Ty for the comment, I already took your advice before your comment, enjoyed a nice drink last night. Ty again always for the kind words. .

[@HPAcustomriflesandcerakote]

Hell all these years I never thought to try that. Thats pretty good thanks for that. Runs in clear can happen to any of us. Especially if switching between medium and high solids clears depending on the job

[@flycl756355]

That is amazing! I build and fly model planes and paint with lacquer and automotive products. Your channel has been immensely helpful! I wish I knew that trick when I sprayed clear on my last plane, I had a huge run that took hours to wet sand down to an acceptable level

[@PaintSociety]

Awesome! Hopefully you dont have to use this trick but you do, it definitely helps!

[@i8ntnuts]

Your “shaking the rust” video is 100 times better than I could ever fly!! Very nice Matt

Great tips on paint runs. I watched a video on 3M Collision Repair KZbin channel on similar approach with clearcoat. They also have a great video on how to fix fisheyes in the paint booth. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.

[@laca8612]

Thank you Brian for this content! At first, things seems to be easy, when you have luck, but professions comes, when you have to fix such problem, like this. I have never seen this fixing method, but very happy that you shared this know how. Tumbs up!

[@MMAForYou2]

Bryan idk if you have any clue of the reach of your videos but After watching your videos for over 3 years I finally got the courage to get a couple guns and start trying out. Next month I start my new job as a painter for a body shop in NY. Thanks Bryan ! 🤌🏽

[@PaintSociety]

Isnt this the greatest! Holy cow! That is amazing. So proud of you

[@MidnightOilsRestoration]

Excellent job Brian, I’ve used the tape trick many times 😅🙏it’s a life saver unless a fella gets too cocky and makes a huge mess 😂. The gun had a really nice fan but it seemed flow out was difficulty #9; you gave a master class with it but I would have probably dry sprayed the heck out of the job. I need to invest in some of those tolcuts too-really handy. Always appreciate the advice and tips brother, thanks 😊

[@haveacrack]

I am going to give the tape trick a go next time i get a run. Very informative as usual.

I've done the tape trick right away on drips / runs when they are heavy... works just as good

[@WJHandyDad]

back to back... Mario's then your video. I learn something every time I watch either or your videos.

[@Danpick1986]

It’s how you get out of trouble when stuff goes wrong,that’s a sign of a good painter!

[@frankb5648]

Hi Brian, Yep have learned a lot from your very thoughtful videos. You have been like a video teacher to me and I imagine many more newbies. I'm an airbrush artist and primarily work on motorcycles and really only spray 2k clear. I use waterbased paints for mural work. So your vids on clear coats and spray guns have been a great help. Also tips on fixing stuff believe me come in very helpful. Thanks again for putting your experience and knowledge out there!!!

[@nickcrill7718]

I’d like to see a series kinda like Kandy man with the 100 line training but instead you train us on the sikkens!

Great video true statement when you said this is the beginning of the end for any painter LOL

[@stevec5657]

Whadda cool trick. Thanks for all your highly informative videos 👏

[@donaldwilcoxjr.5212]

I was taught to sand runs out when i was learning how to cut and buff ....colorsand and buff ....how ever you wanna say it ....but used a paint stick and taught to stay on top of the run ....only used nibbers for dirt and dust ......for me taking it slow and taking a hard flat block ....paint stir ...or now i use a lexian block ....made from lexian sheet .....that being said ...i no longer work in the autobody industry and havent for about 20 years now but do have a project i am working on at home .......and a very good painter once told me if your not getting runs from time to time in your clear ....your not applying enough on the pannel .......guess thats why he taught me to water sand and buff way before he ever let me touch a paint gun ......

[@dougpeirce726]

I do the tape fix on runs right away while paint is wet, get the bulk out of it. I then carry on and apply another coat or two with extra drying time and the blemish disappears and or is an easy sand and buff later.

[@irneskajtezovic2357]

I too until last time i lift flackes from color now i will wait to dry and try 😂

[@markpecoraro5290]

Hi Brian, great video . I have 2 of those porphis guns . 716 an the 715 . There pretty good guns . Im a Sata for the most part. I do believe the pps adapter I’m using on the porphis guns are S9 .

[@PaintSociety]

Ty for the input!

[@jmac636]

I take a fresh razor blade and drag it across the high part of the run to know it down fast. Then sand once it’s close to level. Self taught before youtube was the go to place to learn.

[@PaintSociety]

This video is for before the run dries

[@ntonytay]

I think sometimes patience is the most important thing for us painter. Anyway awesome videos Brian. Im more interested to see that how easy u buff that black paint up without swirls haha😂😂😂

[@tompowell6880]

Thanks for your great tips and methods!

[@andrewarren2701]

I used the Spectrum adapter it been working great for me

[@PaintSociety]

Good to hear!

[@juanmata2433]

Nice tip.. I've done that plenty of times early in my career.

[@PaintSociety]

It works but the clear has to be dry enough that the tape doesn’t damage the clear too much. Whenever something like this happens, I am always prepared for respray

[@chrisfigueiredo6094]

I keep seeing these ready to spray paint or ready to spray single stage. Can you talk about this and your opinion. I am looking to paint some mirror caps, wing, and a fender I was think of using single stage. All help is appreciated!

[@wingman8447]

Another great lesson

[@Joelakys]

If you have to paint outside only using cordless sprayer which one will you use? What would be important to look for and how will you do it?

[@theresamoore9340]

Love your videos. What was that move you did at 6:41-6:43? It looked like you pumped the handle on the spray gun a couple times. So I’m just curious, (and because I’m fairly new at this) what was the purpose?

[@The-truth-is-valuable.]

This is brilliant.

[@Joey_Avocado]

Prolly wont see this but i use the Spectrum kit from Harbor Freight. Got it for my FX1000 and Black Widow HVLP 2.0. Just snug it up with a wrench and never look back

[@PaintSociety]

Awesome!!

[@googlelimp9834]

i havent pained for many many years there is stuff now I've never even heard of. also had a brain injury so have to say have little memory so have to start again. when you spray paint just to confirm can flatted all types of running parts or scratched once all flattened can laquore over it right?? even if lloks a bit sandy kind of colour paint can I still laquor over it??

Any tips on a website to buy good quality paint?

[@NickVanGuth]

Maybe you gotta use a seal at the bottom of the adapter like devilbiss used to run.

[@marcuswhite1403]

I hate when that happens. I'm sure we've all been there before. We used to use those type of blocks when I worked at a car manufacturer. I thought I was the only one that made repairs in the booth lol.

[@costask823]

Hi Brian I am using PPS1 so I maybe wrong but if I remember correctly I used the same adapter as on the black widow on the 717 with no leaks. What would that be for PPS2 26016 S9?

What about if it happens on the base color coat? Same process?

[@bodyshopsolutions695]

If you get a run or drip in the base you’re probably going to have to clean the base back off and start over

[@PaintSociety]

Just wait until it dries and use 600 grit yo sand it flat. You can use water as well

[@SamirShuaib]

@@PaintSociety so no tape to lift?

[@PaintSociety]

@@SamirShuaib no. Not for base. You can sand base quick because it dries quick

@@PaintSociety after the 600 grit would you another coat of base to the area or just clear after that

bah. i was hoping this would work for plastidip, but if you let plastidip dry for 25 min, it's just straight up dry. I usually lightly blot with a paper towel in the moment, which isn't perfect, but it's way less noticeable than a run.
