How to Sand your Car for Paint

Dude, your channel is SO horribly underrated. You should shut all other paint channels down imo. This is the one stop place for everything paint. Here before 1 million.

I just want to say I had a nasty scratch on my rear bumper and decided to grow some balls and fix it myself with no experience. This video helped me so much man. Hands down the best video on this topic on the internet. Thanks alot guys.

[@360lateflip]

I've messed around with rattle cans for liveries and gimmics on ratty drift cars for fun, my friend asked me to paint his drift car but with guns and real paint. I said yes and a day or so before we were ready to start I got the feeling I was in over my head. I binged a handful of your videos the night before and it turned great for my first total respray.

[@john1644]

Still doing it a year later? Sounds like the perfect origin story to me

[@heathsmith3038]

As a 48 year old man with 32 years experience in my parents shop. You. Teach me new stuff all the time. I grew up with a old school father n started in the Single stage days. I go one step farther buffing n hit it with 8000 as it helps buffing imo.

I've been painting since I was 18. I'm 56 now and retired from car and aircraft painting but as a painter I'm always looking to learn new current techniques in the event I get back in the game either for professional or personal painting. Your videos have taught this old dog new tricks and techniques that I find very helpful for our painting brothers and yes sisters too! I wish I had that sanding system back in the day! Thank you very much for you videos!

one thing I forgot to mention is to operate the DA at a slow speed to cut better.

I bought the starter kit, and some other grits months ago on your recommendation in this video. I just used them for the first time yesterday, and I have to say that Eagle Abrasives sand "paper" is amazing! It cuts quickly, evenly, and doesn't clog up. I will be buying more! Thanks!

Used it for the first time last weekend definitely worth buying if you're a person who likes detailing your own car recommend first time to use on lowest setting 800 so you don't burn paint don't leave in one spot keep moving it over paint easy to use kzbin.infoUgkxfzbDkCRyv3CFXnLZI4APZtRRuG2uRmP2 truck looks like new again used maguires black light battery life like all milwaukee products seem to hold up well 😀

[@leedesmond1617]

Always been told I have skills when spraying with a can and always said its about the prep and time between primer and coats. Watching your videos has given me some enthusiasm to get myself a good compressor and gun and do my own project car a new colour 😀

[@kohjiiida2637]

Kovax is really a game changer. Haven’t tried it in prep, but in removing dirt it’s the best than the typical wet p1500 that leaves a lot of scratch and is hard to buff

Dude you are awesome..your channel is awesome. You have helped me a ton.

[@mrdude3540]

Could I ask for your opinion? I want to repaint my c5 corvette myself. I will be applying base coat and clear. I have not sanded the car yet. Could I use 400 grit dry sanding of the whole car to take off the clear coat and then apply my base coat after? I'm wondering if the base coat would cover up any scratches from the 400 Grit or should I dry sand with 600 grit then apply my basecoat? I would be using a DA for this. Thank you

[@deankay4434]

Ok, I watched the whole video. Not an expert on the European “P” & “K” but you did a good job of explaining the results. I see PSA sandpaper and hook & loop, not once did I catch either term used to describe this system. The cost of sandpaper goes up and the “K” series will be more expensive due to intellectual properties. I have no choice but to use PSA paper, I also understand the reason for an “Inter-Pad” of 3 cushion values and results. I find the hard nibber set interesting as well. I seen the short-stoke sander used, in other videos, to reduce the orange peel or get rid of it. I have limited funds, but will find a Short-Stoke sander, as bad elbows only get worse. This is a complete refinish on my vehicle, but will have to use PSA and the best coatings I can afford. Also, no mention of the filler but would guess it’s Evercoat. Trying my best to do it right once. Chemical strip (Bought 1 gal per visit 5 years ago before it doubled and the Methylene Chloride was reduced/take out of others), epoxy seal, filler with a mix of polyester gazing/honey for better sanding, less clogging. Always used a folded coat hanger with rubber hose handle to clean paper. So what filler? PSA or not? ASE Master for decades but back, elbows had surgery. What my son doesn’t take, my wife throws away. Only 62, I guess it’s not the age, but the miles. Any info on products? Thanks.

[@nickminto3701]

Not sure if I just have not find it on your channel yet but a guide on how to pick the right compressor for spray paint a car would be a great help.

[@davidkafka2452]

As someone trying to learn a paint system: videos like this sell themselves as an introduction to a base concept, eg sanding and then take a sharp right turn deep into the weeds by including advanced topics like the difference between p and k grits.

[@garryautomotive]

Hey, one thing that would be great is if you start telling us what type of products you use more, whether it’s, waterbase, solvent base, nason, universal, sikkens, PPG, etc. I’m a student at DSC and our technician plays your videos to teach us more about refinishing and learning what you use would help us learn a little more about the paints, how it sprays, how it looks, etc! :)

You’re videos help a lot by the way!

Today we changed from 3m sand paper to mirka. I gotta say I am blown away by mirka. I'm a paint prepper and I sand down all day. And one paper of 800 on clear coat will sand down 2 panel and a half. as to 3m p800 I would have gone through multiple and sand papers. Y'all should go try mirka and you will see what I mean.

I guess my main question is how do we tell when we need to sand down to metal and/or when to stop sanding? I'm working on a project car (yes, I saw your Civic project vid) but when I sanded it down to rid of the clearcoat some areas exposed metal whereas some areas exposed primer, and ripples (weird). I was left with high and lows, primer, metal and ripples yet the panel felt smooth. I started with P220, P320, to P500. But mind you the metal areas were exposed while sanding with P220. Really odd. Anyhow, did I sand too much? I have other panels to sand down but don't know when to stop or rather just how far I need to sand? Your help is greatly appreciated as always.
