Thank you for sharing the knowledge I was watching your painting with the clear coat I did learn a lot and I don't know nothing about painting but on cars anyways but it was great thank you for sharing I'm grateful for it man

[@geraldpreston817]

Great tape but I was told to always let the bass co cure for a couple of days since it's a single stage and doesn't always dry that. If you put the 2 part clear on 2 soon it'll eventually bubble because a chemicals haven't come out of the base coat yet...

[@GarageNoise]

If your clearing over single stage it's a bit different. I wouldn't let it sit for days that's too long but single stage you could let sit for about 45min before clearcoat.

It's amazing what you can do with spray bombs these days. I thought for sure you were going to get a run out of that as well, I was super surprised that you didn't, these spraybombs are pretty dern impressive. I haven't spray painted in a while so basically just from watching this video I've decide to paint my son in laws truck rear wheel arch's with spray bombs.

[@DVTOM]

When you dust coat it how do you keep it from being like sandpaper? I always have a very rough texture that has to be sanded but then you enter scratches.

[@GarageNoise]

Move back from the panel a bit but still put it on wet. If you get too far back it will be applied dry and thats no good.

[@christopherturner9330]

Very well crafted work with a straightforward live explanation. Good job done I learned a lot.

[@medamit]

Very informative. Much appreciated. One thing I have learned though from using aerosol cans for the past 40 years is start the spraying off the targeted area and end spraying off the targeted area. Especially if you're using metallic. Gives it a more even coat. At least in my experiences anyway. Not saying its right or wrong, its just that works best for me.

[@jude.25]

Thank you. I bought a project truck knowing I'd get to learn some new things. You've answered some questions and really helped boost my confidence.

[@andrewhigdon8346]

Man I used to blow off the notion of a mask or much less a respirator. Wrong! The usual Rustoleum enamels are one thing, and even then we should protect ourselves, but lacquers are truly dangerous, and that 2k Clear is very strong, but very good, as I’ve used a ton of it. It polishes out well, and has even passed the gasoline spill test. The Dupli-Color version I tried before failed miserably. This can be done. Mostly prep work is very crucial, well, it’s ALL crucial. But application is the make or break. Environment matters big time too. If it’s too warm the paint will start to dry in the air before it hits the surface. So you get closer, right? Too close and it piles on in such a way that is insidious and deceptive. It might look great, no runs,shiny and wet looking, top notch. But later you will see it settle, and on vertical surfaces it’ll run so subtly you won’t see it till your wet sanding it next week. So not so close then. But it MUST look wet by the third coat. First mist coat is crucial, NOT WET. Let it sit just long enough to be tacky, not dry, but flashed off, where all the solvents have escaped, which is a tough call. Because here’s the kicker. If you wait too long, the next wet coat won’t settle into the mist coat deep enough, won’t stick as well, require that much more product, which then induces the next pitfall. If your can spatters, spits, at ALL, shake it and give it a spray elsewhere to see how it’s doing. If you THINK it’s gonna spit, set it aside for a seldom seen area where you might need more depth, and a spatter can be sanded smooth and dealt with, as opposed to the middle of the side of your drivers door. Worse though, is when everything looks good and you let it cure, only to find cracking or “crazing” in your paint in particular places. That’s where the coat beneath cured JUST enough to form a skin or layer, but hasn’t released ALL of its solvents yet, but then you didn’t catch that nearly impossible to detect issue, so you paint a wet coat, let it flash, and another. An hour or so later you excitedly check out out and horror. Crazing. Like dried mud. The first layer is still shrinking even after the second and third coats go on, but those coats cured themselves and are preventing the bottom coat from curing properly, and when it shrinks, cures, settles, moves, whatever, you see the results in the top coats. Bad news. Start over. Spot painting on top of a spot painted spit is no good. Of the grain beneath isn’t uniform then the color coat won’t be uniform. With the OE paint it’s all old and being done by a machine there isnt much grain to see, other than very uniform orange peel. You’ll see the sanding and paint depth differences if you try to just sand away the crazing, and then recount that. At that, you can really sand it for a few hours, regardless of what the directions say. Sanding uncurled paint is a recipe for disaster and a hundred times the work you envisioned. The clear coat can hide SOME things, but that one spot you think is no biggie, will be. I’d say that once the surface is right, and it’s paint time, that spattering or spitting is the one biggest fear and can ruin your day. Learn how to feel for it, keep the nozzle wiped, and keep your hands and fingers well out of the path of spray. If it’s too cold, it takes too long to dry, hits too wet, runs or sags, and has linger time to catch moths and dust. As hard as you’ll try to keep the area bug free, good luck. If it’s too humid, you’ll get cloudy or foggy spots, where it looks whitish, and that’s absorbed moisture sucked into your drying paint, as a sponge to moisture, your paint to the same. Try to dry the air with heat or a dehumidifier, and quickly, but not too quickly, as drastic changes in conditions WILL affect the finished product. Maybe very glancing and subtle applications of a heat gun or hair dryer, but don’t get too hot or it will run or shrink, more problems. To dry, it will be dry before it hits the car. Get it wrong, and you’ve got a high-nap suede paint surface. Which can be sanded but then you’ve got to repost the whole section. Running out of paint is another nightmare. It induces mistakes. Nice overlap strokes, leave no line but if you miss don’t go back and fill it in until it flashes just a hair or it will sag. The right pace of movement, careful attention to exactly what you are doing, real concentration, it all matters. A gun gives you a more uniform supply, a better pattern, more overall control of the paint itself, and repeatable results. But a pain to keep track of mixes, proportions, the mess, the supplies, the compressor going off when you’ve heard enough, and the cleaning of the gun, nozzles and tips,cfm rates, drier, the whole shooting match. To me, it’s still a toss up. I got incredible results on my Magnum in Brilliant Black, sometimes I can’t believe I painted that whole quarter panel, it looks so good. But my moms old Mercedes in simple Black is killing me. Where I swear a gun would make so much better. But I hate needing a big compressor and the whole pile of accessories needed. But, it may be time.

Great video! We have a 2006 RAV4 that has one area where the paint is bubbling (and coming off) plus some areas that need minor repair (dings from parking garages, etc). There are only 120,000 miles on the car and it runs great, but paying for a professional paint job on a 17-year-old car doesn't make sense to us. She's been good to us, but seriously, how much paint does a woman need! :) We'll give your instructions a try. If it works for amateurs like us, then you're a hero.

[@GarageNoise]

I had 3/4 of a can of paint left so I imagine you could do paint 4-5 spots the size of mine with one can of paint. As for the clear I would figure about one can of clear for a med size panel like this.

[@CiviGG]

@@GarageNoise I feel like I'm going to seem stupid asking this and I am asking this genuinely but I'm just curious as to why you sanded the whole panel back when it looks like you only painted the back wheel arch area. Was it just that you didn't sand enough paint off to need to respray it and thus could just go back over it with the clearcoat?

Man, you have no idea how much this helps me A TON!!! Never done it before, zero practise or knowledge but I feel confident (thanks to this video)I can do it with common sense lol. But it bugs me not to understand something, that in fact you haven't spray paint the entire area but only sprayed with clear coat after sanding down. So my question is: If I sand it down an area with 800grid and clean it and after apply CC I will get the shine back?. Thx in advance Liked and Subed.

Yes you might need to wet san an polish but you will get the shine back. I have video's that show the process of sanding and polishing clear coat as well.

great video and a very great to to me, a total beginner who's never done this before. The only worry I have is that you don't say 1) How long your leave the paint coat to dry before applying the clear. 2) I'm unclear what, if anything, I'm supposed to do on the paint job before applying the clear? Just a tack cloth and the isopropal? Anyhoo, you have given me the confidence to now try this job after two weeks of buying the paint and clear, but lacking the courage to actually try it. Now, after watching your video, I can't for tomorrow to get going on it and really get it done! Any faults will be my fault and not yours because you showed how to do it so well! Best wishes and thanks again from the UK. Al.

[@GarageNoise]

Awesome! 15 minutes before applying clear depending on temp. You may tack base before clear and insect for any dust. If you do find dust lightly sand with a fine sand paper between 600- 2000 grit apply another coat of base at clear. Watch some more of my painting video's I go over all this. Appreciate your comment and support!

[@jewellguitars]

Many thanks for giving me the courage to try it! Saved me some £500 the body shop quoted! Came out pretty well, only big mistake was allowing the clear to drip in 3 places! I think sand back and spray clear again might cure that. Funny story for you: Have no garage or shelter, had to do it in the street. Underestimated power of the wind (only about 10mph). Got into car and then noticed the wind had blown the clear coat, covering all the windshield! Couldn't see a thing! Frantic panic to grab some compound and get it off before the sun baked it hard! You've never seen a man of 74 move so quick! Best wishes and thanks again. Al. @@GarageNoise

You don't want to sand the color coat before clear. The only time you might do that if you have trash in the basecoat you need to remove but then you must apply an additional coat of base. Appreciate the comment and support brother!

Nice video. Wish I stumbled across it sooner. This past weekend I did a similar project with peeling clear coat on a daily project car I’m trying to make look better with spray cans. I sanded all with 320, 600, then 800 until I saw primer and reprimed, cleaned and all. Unfortunately I ran out of base cans and clear and the color looks off as a result. I just ordered more cans and extra for good measure. My question is since I recently primed the panels I want to target and it has a slim base layer and clear, do you think I can sand down the clear coat and add more base from here and then clear again?

[@GarageNoise]

Sure, just sand with 600-800 base and clear

However the weather will get colder especially at night. I still want to target this, but how long do you think it would take for the paint to dry? Should I wait 24 hours after I apply the base prior to applying clear?

I'm not sold on the 2K clear aerosols - they're just a bit of a pita compared to painting the base with an aerosol then using a gun for the clear. You get a better finish faster using a gun for the clear - with less effort.

Not completely, depends what kind of repair you want. If you want it perfect than yes. I'll be doing some more video's on just repairing spots for viewers who just want to clean up a car.

[@marknoir]

Hi. Great video. What is the brand of color coat paint? Thank you.

[@GarageNoise]

Nason in a upol Aerosol

[@ChrisAlaniz-f8y]

How long after applying base coat do you let dry before applying clear ?

[@GarageNoise]

15 minutes

[@4thwalltvandfilm]

This is great. biggest question is where to get matching paint for an older car. (2012 Nissan). Also, did you wet sand and polish the repair? Thanks for the great video.

[@robertdavis1004]

That was great could i do the whole car if i took it section at a time

[@GarageNoise]

Yes, but it's gonna be difficult to get a good finish on large panels like hood or roof, but it can be wet sanded.

What is recommended for a Good flexible 2k clear and Primer Sealer for Plastic BUMPERS? I have the Seymour PBE Flexible Primer and SEM Flexible Primer Surfacer and they work GREAT! but im looking for Primer Sealers out of a can that I can use next... Either a 1k or 2k but definitely prefer a 2k can that either is activated by moisture in the air, or has a 2 part chamber system inside the can... Any recommendations!?

[@GarageNoise]

I don't know any 2k sealers out of a can but I mostly use paint guns. There may be some out there.

[@tnasituning8173]

@@GarageNoise Found Some! Speedokote T-Rex Bite Kote Adhesion Promoter & Clear Flexible Sealer... It compares to Bulldog but SPECIFICALLY states its a "Sealer"... It doesn't really state that on the Bulldog other than that its a Great Adhesion Promoter... There are also another half dozen I found that state the sane thing but besides being an adhesion promoter or primer (or both), that the product "seals" as well, so Im not exactly sure still about those others, but I still wanna give them a try after the TRex Bite Kote... Now I need to find the 2k Clear in a can that has the flexible additive properties in it... So far OHW (One Hit Wonder makes them for about the same Price as Spray Max 2k)...

[@keithroberts5611]

Its a great video demonstrated what 2k clear is meant for!! Not headlights 🤪🤔👍Did notice two small dents above the panel above?? 🙄

[@GarageNoise]

Oh, there's hail over the whole car. Good for content!🤣

[@eddieburgett9678]

What a great idea they come out with been years since I've done body work thanks for video really like the Gardner in the clear coat can

[@GarageNoise]

👍appreciate the comment and support!

[@MichaelBlast]

This looks like a good instruction video. Im looking for a video to repair a small chipped paint spot on the bumper of a Honda. The black shows through and I just want to hide it better.

[@Tweakinontheweekend]

How does it match with the rest of the car? Any blending needed??

[@GarageNoise]

In the video i blended out a bit with the Aerosol color and the color matched surprisingly very good. Appreciate your comment!

[@nolynoe5796]

You got lucky finding touch up paint that matches or atleast lose enough to blend. I’m having problems finding an Acura silver that comes near to the paint code. Everyone has it as a way darker paint than it really is.

[@GarageNoise]

Yeah ,I was shocked it matched so well.

[@tonyp9609]

Great video. Didn't know they had these paint options out there. Small suggestion, next time start at the top as you did but do the whole length of the quarter panel and work down. Thanks Again

[@GarageNoise]

👍

[@Ashinperth]

So may have stuffed up on my clear coat application as I was trying not to get any paint runs. I had faster movements than you, but multiple coats. Is the surface supposed to feel smooth after the application of clearcoat?

[@GarageNoise]

Yes it should feel smooth. It can be wet sanded and buffed tho.

[@alexpaic2984]

Watched a few of your videos and I’m really impressed and I learned a ton. Really great content sir but I have a stupid question. How did you get O’Reilly to match that paint for you. I mean it looks spot on on camera.

[@GarageNoise]

Awesome! Great to hear the content is working. In some store Oreillys mixes paint. Not all store yet they use nason which is a cost effective but good paint.

[@alexpaic2984]

@@GarageNoise I got that part how did they get exactly the color to match was the question. Did you drive the car there did you get a chip of the paint over to them?

[@GarageNoise]

@@alexpaic2984 no I just gave them the code.

[@alessandromaranzana4648]

Thanks you’re giving me good tips cause I have to do the same thing on my carolla it has rust n little holes on both sides of the car. I need to fill them tgan sand and thanks for the info about the sand paper and clear coat! Great job!

[@GarageNoise]

No problem 👍

[@arthurklos7982]

Using a Rust-Oleum type spray can handle when doing a job like provides better application balance and reduced finger fatigue. May even prevent the run that happened!

[@GarageNoise]

That would be helpful. Appreciate your comment and support!

[@kyle5555]

what ype of paint was the base coat? enamel or lacquer?

[@GarageNoise]

Urethane enamel

[@TheJaguarman40]

Can you please tell me are send me the link and the no how to order my paint cans i see the clear colt can?

[@GarageNoise]

Link is in description for clear . For paint find a local paint supplier they can put it in an Aerosol for you.

[@stevelake9333]

Nice video, I've done alot if this type of repair on my cars, after the finish coat of clear once it's had time to harden/properly I'd normally wet sand, clean and then Polish and wax , did you do the same after ? Just curious

[@GarageNoise]

Most of the time yes, always seam to need to cut and buff at least a bit.

[@stevelake9333]

@@GarageNoise yeah, I find it gets rid of any orange peel affect and a really nice finish

[@josephpimatulac9182]

Great video thanks! Whats the proper way to buff and wax this?

[@DavidS19551]

Very nice, I had my hood repainted by my mechanic, he paints all his cars as a hobby. He charged me a 100.00 and did a great job but I really think he needed to do 1 more coat of clearcote. I think I am going to do it myself after seeing the job you did. I have waxed it for the 1st time about a month ago, of course I let the paint cure for about 6 months. Do you think I should wet sand it after I get the wax off 1st?
