How to remove paint runs STEP BY STEP

[@loganboyer8816]

Ive been painting for going on 15 years now. I do have an LLC. I do own an auto restoration business. I do paint cars and trucks and motorcycles on a daily basis. Aaaand...I DO GET RUNS! Its life. Its a part of the job. Nobody understands all of the factors that go in to shooting paint. Temps. Humidity. Moisture in an air line. Compressor oils. Theres so many more on top of those. Anyone who talks smack on a painter for having runs in a paint job is an A Hole. Plain and simple. Keep doing you bro. Youre a talented dude. Your work shows that. Ive reached out to you for work before and i do it for a living. That says enough in my book.

[@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937]

At the end of the day , I'm just trying to make content for the people at home, the DIY weekend guys ect ect. 99% of the cars on this page are mine so if I screw up no biggie 🤣 I'll fix it when I can or If I even want. But there isn't a single paint problem I CAN'T FIX. Your right people don't take into factor painting conditions constantly changing. That's part of my issue with this job it was the first full body job this winter

[@debcolbert3543]

Great video! I think most have or will experience this at some point. Always willing to show your mistakes and how to fix them. That's why people can relate to you!

[@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937]

Exactly ☺☺

Bro I watch these videos because they entertaining as hell. Ty ty ty!

[@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937]

Thanks for stopping in!!

[@bbay1977]

I had my 13 year old daughter watch the video of you spraying this and showed her some of the spots that looked like trash in the paint and pointed out some of the sags and runs too. Then you talked about them in the video. I even told her that they could be fixed and they wasnt a big deal. Now i'll show her this video tomorrow and show her how it looks after and all. She liked it before the paint but loved it after it was all wet looking. Keep up the Great work and Content.

[@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937]

Thanks man! Gotta teach em young

[@stevec5657]

"Those who never make mistakes are those who never try anything". (My 5th grade teacher's poster on the classroom wall). Figuring out how to remedy issues, builds confidence for painting cars. I screw up all the time, but I can fix those mistakes. Looking forward to the front bumper fix. Cool job 👍

[@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937]

Exactly!!

[@JohnPatrick018]

I love it, I like how you mention last time saying pretty much pick your battle, not all the time you want it to look perfect, I’m not a pro on painting, I wouldn’t even call my self a beginner lol, but I do this on the side with cars that I fix and sell. Really love your channel sir keep the content coming!

I can still see it clearly, even as you were repairing it I could tell you didn't take it all the way down before you stepped up to the fine paper. Yes I have painted cars before, yes I have removed runs completely.

Hey Marco, love that colour man that's what I call a real red👌paint job looks amazing as usual and you did a great job getting those runs out anyone can get runs but it's knowing how to get them out without cutting through or creating a flat spot which can make the colour look off, you know what they say brother "if you aren't getting runs then you aint trying hard enough"👏😂👍John UK

Thanks for posting these videos! It has me thinking about painting my son's Absolutely Red 01 Celica GT-S myself. It has the clear peeling on it and some rust on the quarter. I did two cars when I was in college and they turned out ok, so I have some experience, but I just don't want to waste a lot of $$$ on a $2,600 car. The paint brand looks like a good deal to me, if I can get my son to help with it! 😂. Thanks again!

[@francisniestemski8682]

Can you paint a car in steps over a few weeks? For example, paint the driver side completely and then the other side and then the hood and lastly the trunk.

[@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937]

That's pretty easy to do it's the same as painting a full car just more masking 🙂

[@phillipgrandison2384]

Also, makes sure your mix batch is the same, so mix it all 1st, then use each amount needed from that batch. That'll ensure the tone stays consistent.

[@markpecoraro5290]

Great video Marco , just remember talk is cheap with all these so called experts. They still live in mom’s basement. Lol

[@sweetfarmsllc8886]

Owned a high end collision repair shop for 16 years before I went back to farming full time in 2016. Runs do happen, but I can honestly say my painters and myself never had runs that bad. Professionals are not perfect, but that is pretty bad for someone that paints daily.. Some guys no matter how much practice, professional or not, will never be great painters.. I went through a few "professional painter" in my many years in business.

[@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937]

Number one who said I paint daily? Number two, did you even take a quick glance at any of my other work on my page or just highlighting this particular job?

[@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937]

Also would you and your "expert" Body guys like to try and come paint a car in 31 degree weather? Y'all wouldn't even last 2 hours. Let alone 6-8. Keep it pushing dude 😂

Would this process work on single stage non metallic?

[@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937]

Any non mettalic single stage this will work. Mettalic single stage it's sand and start over

[@robsdeviceunknown]

Do you have to wait until the paint fully cures to remove runs? or can you start on it like the next day?

Definitely wait

Hey I’ve been watching your channel for a few years now and it has let me start doing some paint jobs on my own however I only have about 5 cars under my belt, and when people ask me to give them quotes I have trouble with coming up with a fair price for my labor and also not charging to much and losing the job.

[@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937]

Never worry about losing a customer cause your price might be to high for them. That's THERE problem. Not yours. They will go down the street to some big corporate body shop and find out super fast you were charging a good price

Better get some 600 and completely sand that run out. You can still see the sag..

[@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937]

I clearly stated this in the video. You didn't watch till the end.

[@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937]

And also I have no idea who in the heck would ever wet sand paint with 600, but I NEVER would do that, there is almost no professional ever that would tell you "yea go ahead and wet sand that with 600 and buff it " Unless you got like 4-6 coats of paint to work with this is never a good idea 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hi Marco, big fan of your Channel here. I’m painting a 69 roadrunner that’s full of dings but is mostly rust free. I want to paint it in one of the bright old mopar colors in single stage. I’m also trying not to get too crazy on the body work. I’m not looking for a perfect paint job anyways because it’s my daily driver. Do you have any recommendations?

[@chrisseymour426]

One request for those of us who are watching to learn how to use these products: say what product(s) are going on the car at the start. I had no idea this was single stage until you were basically done with your corrections. I didn't know if you stopped after basecoat to sand out the runs and then clear or what. You just sort of mentioned offhand at the end.

[@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937]

Paint products were mentioned in the paint video 🙂 and I tried to film all the different polishes I used sorry for confusion

[@eastcoastken]

You made a mistake, it happens to EVERY painter whether they show it or not. Im no expert and I understand that, but im also not a beginner. I enjoy your content for the same reason people listened to Haward Stern in the late 90s....to hear whats coming out of your mouth next 😂😂😂

Marco dont take notice of all the negative shit , at least you got the balls to go on video and show mistakes rather than hide them and pretend you never get runs and sags , i know not alot but im learning to paint and i sooner see a professional like you get a run an repair it than watch the liers on there videos pretending they never make mistakes, , keep up the great work.

Dude... Hate to tell ya but the run is still there (you could see it). Just repaint those panels it's single stage. Stop trying to justify keeping all of those runs in that paint. I've been painting cars for 40 yrs (20 of that professionally) and even I get the occasional run!

[@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937]

Oh I definitely specified that in the video it's still there it ain't prefect, but not trying to make it a perfect car. Down the road I might sand the whole car down again and flow coat it but who knows

One thing everyone misses in my page is I display a variety of work levels so ALL of my viewers feel welcome, comfortable, and give them the encouragement they need to make there car great again. While yes does spraying in a booth 24/7 make every job some out great absolutely, but most people watching these videos don't have that type of equipment

[@vidaiautomation]

@@Kaclaytor Well CLEARLY your comment shows just exactly how much you DONT know about the subject lol.

[@vidaiautomation]

@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 Another trick you can do that I learned from an old time painter is to take some polyester spot putty (2 part) and spread it over the run. Then block it with like 400 or 600 until all of the putty is gone. What that does is keeps you from sanding on the paint around the run UNTIL the run is gone. Then just hit it with 1000, 2000, 2500, buff. It will totally remove the run and the area will look perfectly flat.
