How to SAVE a Bad Paintjob Using Meiji Finer Core Paint Guns!

[@MrEatthemeat]

Looks, great, I’ve been shooting paint for about a year now, many parts and a couple of cars, but honestly I haven’t learned the science behind it, I just scuff and shoot , I’m glad there are videos like yours that really take the time to explain very well the most common scenarios , thanks and awesome paint job

[@laupy4104]

Tbh there is no right or wrong every one does hes own way just dont fear the paint make a mistake youll learn and get better and faster over time

[@mikekim9021]

Brian, I'm not a painter but own and manage a bodyshop. No offence but a lot of painters I've had do not know the proper or correct way of painting as you do but just because they've been doing it their own way for years, they seemed to believe their way is the only and correct way of painting it. I even took a several automotive paint classes at college just to learn the proper way of getting a paint job done but they don't teach stuff like this you use in real situations besides the paint skills in general. Although my painters never liked me being picky and learning from your videos, you've made a lot of my customers happy and satisfied and I can't thank you enough for that. I sincerely thank you for sharing and teaching your valuable knowledge with us. God bless you

[@PaintSociety]

Thank you for the awesome comment and so glad to hear that your business is seeing success and all from some KZbin videos. I do agree old painters at times get stuck in their ways but that’s what paint society is all about. Learning from others!

[@nattycup]

Many professionals underestimate the effect of the so called orange peel of 1 stage/uni/2 stage clearcoat. Assuming you have perfect groundwork (zero paint cloudiness, spot on colormix etc) matching a color is very much dependant on the graininess/texture/orange peel of the adjacent paint. be it clear coat or 1 stage/uni coat. so if you do your job too good and have a minimum of orange peel you can adjust the color all day, you may not end up with a good result, because the reflection/absorbtion of what you did is different from the rest of the vehicles (factory) adjacent paint structure. this is where experience and the fine art of this craft come into play: matching the graininess/texture/orange peel of the orignal paint leads to the desired even visual reflection and greatly affects color perception. so yes, a close to perfect paint job means you also have to know how to end up with a certain amount of orange peel after the drying process and with all solvents and additives evaporated. this means deep knowledge of your trusted guns, air pressure, material, adjusting temperatures, distance, speed, viscosity, throughput etc. of course fixing "uneven" transitions by sanding the peel flat, matching and blending via polishing is the standard "easy way out" and works ok, but nothing beats your job matching the original in (almost) every aspect. i only met a handful who really could do that and yes it is the hardest thing to learn, because it can't really be taught.

Killed it! I been painting 25+ years glad I got this technique down 10 years ago! Saves so much time and cost. Beautiful job

[@PaintSociety]

Thanks. I admit it gets scary quick when you’re running out of room and the color isn’t blending

[@jeremytucker4616]

@@PaintSociety yes sir, your level to detail and the patterns you show when your painting definitely will give and novice painter a great idea on what direction to go with! I wanted to make a KZbin channel but after seeing how well you explain everything you do no need! Keep doing amazing work from one of you biggest fans in Louisville ky.

[@accounth1293]

You have do the spray outs with the same gun to mach the color cause we all know that color can change from just to switching guns

[@stax6057]

Just picked up my new sagola 4600 extreme. Definitely the fastest gun I've ever used, it's dumps material onto the panel. Had to turn that fluid in a bit to prevent sags

[@nikeelitesquad123]

That's why they call it SAGola 😆

[@supercomp7078]

I have been watching you for a while now and that tip about spraying or watching from the side is one of your most useful, I have had jobs where I finish and find something I did not notice while spraying, a simple fix when actually spraying like chucking a little more clear on it but after you left it it can be a pain

[@PaintSociety]

Yes. It definitely helps to watch from the side. Thanks for the comment !

[@stanleyonishi3314]

That's a beautiful job. Base looks smooth and the clear looks like glass.

[@oic20v91]

Brian love the paint job, I would never dare to do what u did, but looks great. Great job mate. Wish I could try what I learnt from your vids in a proper paint booth. By the way I am no pro painter and just another garage guy. Hope u have a great Xmas.👍

[@stevec5657]

That's really cool how you tested out those guns on a tough metallic and a blend to boot. The master painter that coached me early on would stand behind me as I put down clear and he'd lightly smack me on the back of the head if he caught me not watching what the gun was doing from an angle. I learned quickly, lol.

[@joev1848]

Love your vids ! The problem I run into a lot is the factory colors are translucent. ( see-thru) especially the silvers.. I’m sure you know all about that. Thanks for great content

[@PaintSociety]

Definitely. They are tough!

[@alienpoker]

I haven’t been taught what you did there with the blending solvent. Using a thinned down mix and adjusting the basecoat tint. That’s an artist at work. Panel looks great 👍🏼

[@PaintSociety]

Thanks !!

[@jotareye1838]

Hey brian, thank you for all the knowledge, we would like to see the other side of the business, different types of pain refinish systems, how to stock up on toners, brands, accesories, supplies etc. Keep the good work.

Unbelievable job Brian !! A blend on a small panel like that and it looks awesome! I take my hat off to you man 👍

[@darrenfinnerty3872]

I use a fastmover lvlp gun for smart repairs (hobbyist) very little over spray nice for blending and good with clear just move a little slower which is fine for me

[@MrSticks9999]

Doing blends is my favorite thing to do. But I do restorations, so I seldom get the chance. But when I can I love it :)

[@g3garage]

Great tips as always. You are a true artist with a spray gun.

[@Cumminsproject01]

Been watching your video's for awhile alway great content the one thing i notice a especially in this video is it seems like you guys leave a lot of shinies on the paint and it drives my ocd off the wall and if you haven't had problems with paint sticking that's fine but when i prep anything it is 100% dull everywhere i dunno just something i noticed especially behind the tail light for the 2 minutes it takes hit it with red scotch brite but just my opinion still love the vids

[@markbarton4344]

Awesome job, and great tips again Brian. Hope you have a good Christmas!

[@billkeller3083]

Thank you fir the vids, I have been watching and learning. Mostly how to set up my gun and learning to be patient with proper flash times. I jyst did a base/clear overall and it was the best I did yet! So thank you fir you straight up teaching style🤙🏽🤙🏽mahalos

[@adriandeb2710]

Great work Brian

[@jimfeaster4837]

Great review i enjoy

[@Mechaniclyfe]

I’ve used several lvmp sprayguns , I gotta say there are some that are very anemic and struggle to put down the paint . Also the fan size is very small I would say around 6-8 inches, now for this particular panel you sprayed I think the gun was right in its elements, on a larger job I think this gun would start to frustrate me lol. Now however, the material savings might be something a diyer would def consider given that paying for material for personal use is very costly Atleast that’s what I’ve noticed on my own projects and side work projects. Regardless good video Brian thanks 🙏🏻

Can you teach us paint mixing to match older paint. Like taking off a gas tank door to have paint shop to match paint. Using paint code show us how to darken lighten paint to match. Show us how to use paint matching with other paint colors to darken or lighten.

[@mirceaisaila1454]

I did a similar job last year (same quarter panel, same size of the repair). But I don't have the tools (spray gun, compressor, etc) so I used spray cans. It came....acceptable. For my first paint job, I'm happy with the result. Now, I want to ask you: is it possible to spray clear on clear? Thanks, Brian!

[@luiss.2039]

Perfect time!!

[@canadianpainter8344]

Hi, can you tell me why you sand on a freshly painted car? I’ve seen Dave Kindigs crew do that and I was wondering why they do it, and do you respray the car afterwards? I mean how do you get the scratches out? They never explain that. Thank you so much, I’m learning A LOT from you on this channel. 👍

[@tobymarol7329]

haven't seen the videos you mention, but two possibilities are sanding the base to get little paint nibs and imperfections out, then you would do a final coat of base over it to blend and even it out or sanding the clear to get rid of excessive orange peel, in that case you could polish it out if there's enough clear left

[@ChezJohn]

@@tobymarol7329 oh ok, we’ll that makes sense. Thanks so much for answering me I appreciate it very much. I’m trying to learn all of this. 👍👍

Hi Brian!It is real pleasure watching someone who know trick's with Autobase plus but my question is about automechic vision.I'm thinking of buying it because i have same system like you using.Is it any good?I'v borrow the previous generation of spectro fotometar and it was disappointment for me.It is not cheap and i don't want to throw money .I have opinion that the company don't invest in solvent based system any more and that the focus is on autowave 2.0 which is more correct in colour matching.

Can I get a reply??? Simple question I think. I have a project truck. One door is white, truck cab is blue, bed is off white. I want dark blue for the truck. Do I sand down to bare metal?

If theres no damage to the paint. Just sanding it down with 600 till its smooth is fine.

[@user-fx1dt3ul4t]

@@JimmyJiveJones yeah the paint looks pretty bad and old. Next question do you lay down primer or sealer?

[@PaintSociety]

If the paint is good 600 and seal it

[@JimmyJiveJones]

@@user-fx1dt3ul4t u only need to prime if theres bodywork or exposed bodyfiller or large bare metal showing. A Dark sealer will be useful since Blue paint doesnt cover well over white paint. So the sealer will help with that,

[@namehere8865]

Im looking to spray paint a car outdoors in the future. Will try to do panel by panel. What are some guns i should get for primer and then base coat and clear coat?. What do you suggest and any tips hahah

[@BearBudgetgarage]

@@namehere8865 if you are only going to paint once this year just get a Harbor Freight primer gun(like 1.8 ) and the Spectrum HTE for base and clear. It's similar enough to the Black Widow. If you have a small compressor( 20-30 gallon) look for an LVLP gun that uses Low cfm! Like maybe a Starting line gun. Get an old hood or fender and prime it and spray it with cheap paint until ur comfortable with the gun can make it lay down ok.

[@namehere8865]

@@BearBudgetgarage thank you for the advice

[@namehere8865]

@@BearBudgetgarage i found the HTE gun but cant find a 1.8 primer gun, what is the 1.8 and is it called a primer gun or is it just a cheaper spray gun that you use for primer and sealer if needed?? Thanks in advance

[@BearBudgetgarage]

@@namehere8865 Any affordable gun with a 1.7 or 1.8 tip will work fine for high build primers, but not polyester primer. So try to search based on the needle size, you will find a gun. Doesn't always say primer gun.👍

How much paint does it take to paint a medium sized car? Would 1 gallon after mixing be enough?

Hey there, I'm planning to paint my car, ( I'm new to this, so please if whatever i say below sound stupid, please let me slide lol.) I have been prepairing for it for a while now, watched many videos of Yours, and I'm confused about (primer and sealer) , I purchased gray acrylic primer, should i paint the whole car with the acrylic primer that i bought, and then paint with color , or should i put sealer over the primer, and then put color ? Or does the acrylic primer work as the sealer, I decided to go for the acrylic primer becasue someone recemmended it since the paint I bought is acrylic as well.

[@JimmyJiveJones]

You can paint right over the sanded primer. Sealer is basically a very thin coat of primer used for paint coverage and some painters also use it to hide sand scratches and burn thrus ect.

[@laki97]

@@JimmyJiveJones Got it, thank You. I thought i had to prime the whole car, sand it, and then paint the whole thing again with a sealer.

[@JimmyJiveJones]

@@laki97 technically u dont even need to prime or seal the car. just sand and paint it. thats if the previous paint was in decent condition. As in u didnt sand thru the clear to bare metal or exposed body filler. What color are u spraying ur car and what color was it previously
