How to remove a run in your clear coat for the best results

[@andrewkeeney701]

Another one of your very helpful tutorial videos. I'm pretty new at this and am finding all your videos so helpful in understanding automotive painting. Thank you. Andy K

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Yet again another useful tutorial, I don't think many painters really like polishing so anything that makes it easier is always welcome, I normally use a rotary polisher as it cuts quicker but as you say it's easy to burn the paint but I find that providing you keep the polisher moving and make sure it rotates off the edge off the panel you should be ok. Thanks Chris👍

[@GarageNoise]

Thank's John, I perfer rotary for my first cut cause like you said it does cut better. I like to do my final polish with the orbital. Appreciate the comment and support!

[@willsachs]

Nothing beats those Eagle Kovax blocks and abrasives for that. I love the square blocks they have too for small nibs. Great video as always!

[@GarageNoise]

They work great! Appreciate the comment and support!

[@rich-ff1ox]

These vids are really useful for the garage painters

[@GarageNoise]

Thank's Rich! Appreciate the support!

[@mikereyna7091]

Great information. I will put this to use on my small run and orange peel I sprayed last weekend. I’m a DIYer. Thanks again

[@GarageNoise]

Awesome! Appreciate your comment and support brother!

[@2koolforyou88]

This might be what I need as a beginner thanks for this video

[@GarageNoise]

Hopefully not but it happens now you have a reference. Appreciate the support brother!

@Garage Noise Get rid of the runs? C'mon man, thats like my signature! 😂🤣😉 In the handful of paint jobs I've done so far maybe 1 didn't have a run so this is super helpful. You actually pointed out what happened on our daughters auction car paint job, we tried to correct some runs with the razor method the next day and chunks came off!! 😶

[@Green_gtw]

Thanks for good video.learned something new. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻I had a heavy run last year during painting my front grill. Started to sand but would take time. Tried a razor blade. That blade was too flexible. Then saw one guy on youtube from England he used a utility knife razor blade (new) and put some masking tape at the edges to prevent deep scratches from blade. That technique worked perfect for that area. what i learned as DIY, different runs will require different approaches. Have to order those kowax blocks .

[@GarageNoise]

Your welcome! Appreciate the support!

[@Sethorion99]

Really informative step by step. Please show the correction process for the small particle imperfections next!

Great work on all your videos. Very helpful for a diy guy.

Thanks very much! A wealth of information with a great presentation.

I only been doing body work for 3 weeks for a high-volume repair shop, there is around 900 cars or trucks at all times in are lot, well they fired 3 other body guys and I don't know what's going on. my buddy that's the painter told me this would happen; my guess is Monday there going to give me head of repair coordinator because the work repair estimates have been low in hours to be corrected to up to 200% book time. I am self-taught and my experience spreading mud has come from being a drywall finisher and being a mechanic for 20 years. I love this work maybe I can talk the boss into a post then a frame table. and channels like this has been most of my training thanks man.

[@GarageNoise]

A lot to be learned on KZbin! Appreciate the support!

[@PseudoKirby]

so what happened swampie, did they promote you or fire you too?

[@Draintheswamp2024]

@@PseudoKirby actually I left that place they were downsizing because of the market coming to an end they just flipped cars, I went to another body shop, and I get paid half of what I should get paid and its depressing the moods these people are in, my buddy works for a company that has multiple hundreds of body shops they own and I told him that's why toolboxes have wheels, he said he could get me in.

[@courtneylewis9500]

That was a awesome job looking good

[@GarageNoise]

👍thank you!

[@jamesmarques7245]

I like buffing every panel I paint. Sand imperfections dirt and orange peal. Results are better than factory paint finishes. Black paints are mandatory, to getting a mirror finish. 3m products.

[@GarageNoise]

Same here, I like it glassy but don't like the buffin! Appreciate the comment and support!

[@satamanschmidt3428]

I've always liked the glazing putty technique myself do to the built in guidecoat effect. Cover the run with 2K glazing putty and sand until it's gone. The Eagle abrasives KOVAX system is the bomb.

[@fishgeralding9224]

I used to use that technique on iffy runs near body lines especially, kept me from burning through, works great! 👍

[@rogeryanez8107]

Nice job buddy 👌

How long do you need to wait after applying the clear coat? Tanks.

Cool video! Looks geat

[@GarageNoise]

Thanks!

[@posservice1]

Great Video. The links for the polish product is a different brand and product than used in the Video

[@GarageNoise]

I just checked it and it is the Vevor orbital polisher from the link in the description. What am I missing? what brand is pulling up when you hit the link. Appreciate you!

[@posservice1]

@@GarageNoise Hello. I was referring to the polish compound.

[@GarageNoise]

@@posservice1 unfortunately that compound is out of stock. I can't even find it from the the manufacturer. It's great stuff. I've now had to switch to wizards or 3m perfect it ex

[@forrestlibby9456]

Thank's bud!

[@FE428Power]

You didn't have to mess up a clear coat, I have plenty I could send you! 😂😂😂

[@GarageNoise]

🤣🤣I've had my share over the years as well.

[@toyotatundra0455]

The Vevor polisher looks familiar. Is it the same as the HF Bauer polisher? You're one of the few KZbinrs not trashing HF. Thanks.

[@GarageNoise]

It's probably the same manufacturer not for sure tho. I love Harbor freight my favorite store!

[@Pavelek88]

My biggest fear apart from dust, today I'm going to spray my first matte finnish... that method wont help 😬 Actually I don't think that anything will help when something goes wrong with matte clear coat, only sanding and respray. Or am I wrong and there is a way?

[@GarageNoise]

Your right can't sand out a run in a matte finish. Appreciate the support brother!

[@timhudson8958]

How do you feel about the vevor polisher now that you’ve had it a year I’m about to start increasing my cut n buff tool supplies?

[@sergioferreyra3095]

I may have to do this next week. One question, how long do I need to wait to polish a single stage paint? I did the experiment with speedokote . Thanks for the video

[@GarageNoise]

It happens, reference of you ever need it. Appreciate the support!

[@GarageNoise]

Single stage I would wait a least 24 hr then test it.

[@d.jchanza2852]

I had a cheap ball joint fail after one year - now I never buy cheap ball joints

[@modificationnation73]

Thanks! I just painted a car and need to remove some runs.

[@GarageNoise]

Happy to help! Appreciate the comment and support!

[@wild8757]

I just picked up a 2 inch run/ nib file, haven’t used it yet, have you ever used one and do you like them?

[@GarageNoise]

I do have a cheap one and have used it and like it. I need a better one and the paper.

[@user-wu4be5ve4h]

Hey Chris! I continue to learn so much from your channel! I do have some questions. The DA you use looks like it's an Astro 3/32 DA. What DA would you recommend ? 3/32 or 3/16? both?Also when would you use an interface pad on a 3/32? Might be a good video to go over?

[@GarageNoise]

I prefer the fine sanded 3/32 for finishing. I think it's better for all around use.

[@dj39st]

Is the polisher being held flat against the surface or is it being held at an angle ?

[@GarageNoise]

I do both at times mostly at a slight angle.

[@R182video]

The CSI polish looks like it's no longer available. Do you have a recommendation for a substitute? Thanks in advance.

[@GarageNoise]

When I can't get it I use 3m perfect it ex

[@R182video]

@@GarageNoise Thanks. I'll look for that. The CSI product was great!!

[@bodyshopsolutions695]

[@GarageNoise]

🤣🤣yup!

[@BrianAndersonTT]

Shouldn't you wait for it to cure before doing anything?

[@GarageNoise]

If you have the time yes, give it a week or so.

[@rongamble9884]

The clears today are pretty forgiving you really shouldn't be running clear unless your spraying through a primer gun haha

[@GarageNoise]

I agree

[@smithjohn3080]

Curious what you mean by "unless spraying thru a primer gun"?

[@gillissss1]

Moi j'aime mieux covax 2000 et 3000

[@GarageNoise]

I'll have to try that. Appreciate the comment!

[@Harrybollox]

I'm no expert so treat this as a layman comment, didn't that remove the clearcoat so you are just buffing paint? i didn't see you respray any clear

[@GarageNoise]

It removes some clear but it's minimal enough it doesn't effect the durability.
