I'd argue that the best automotive clearcoats in a can are the 2K versions. Either Spraymax or Eastwood. Also worth mentioning is that the 2K products are legit toxic, so use a respirator unlike what you see in the video.

1500 grit is too fine for sealing the primer - use 1000 grit (or 1200 at the ABSOLUTE finest) or the base colour may flake/peel off!! Some people won’t go any finer than 800 for wet sanding primer 😅 If OP is reading this, did you have any problems with flake/peeling months later? Cheers 🍻

Before primer I would just sand it with 600 max, then lay down the primer and sand the primer with 800 max. The higher you go on the grit the less adhesion there will be, especially if you use a cheap primer where the chemical adhesion is probably not as good as with an expensive one.

i usually just do 600 and use filler primer

I'd wait at least 3 or 4 days before wet sanding clear coat... You need to let the paint harden really for a good while.. clear can still be soft for weeks after it doesn't fully harden as quick as you think

[@ryanshantz3439]

I work in a collision shop and for proper adhesion we sand are panels with 400 grit, jumping from 400 to 1500 is pointless you have to work your way through the grits to actually knock down the scratches

[@Nperez1986]

You used 1500 grit BEFORE priming??? did you at least read your instructions?? That primer/paint is going to come/chip off easily!! You need to use 320 before primer , block sand, then 400-600 before paint. That 1500 is for the clear coat for polishing (especially Lacquer clear like you used)

[@juanaguilar4111]

So after applying the clear coat you wet sanded it again? did you spray it with clear again or is wet sanding the last step?

[@nubmikeyz6521]

After wet sanding, you need to buff and polish. Do not clear it again (unless you messed up the wet sanding)

[@juanaguilar4111]

@@nubmikeyz6521 what if I don’t know how to buff and polish should I not wet sand it after the clear coat?

[@nubmikeyz6521]

@@juanaguilar4111 wet sanding isn't really needed but it's prefer if you want a nice mirror look. Usually when using rattle can, paint doesn't lay as perfect which leads to something called "orange peel" finish. Wet sanding gets rid of the orange peel and gives it a a nice mirror look.

So 1500 is to much

[@JustAGuy781]

You do not need to sand with 1500 after the 400. In all actuality 400 or 600 grit is perfect to paint over as long as it is all flat and any damage prepped good and primed.

[@jessicah3450]

thanks for the tip, some jerk grazed my car in a parking garage 😒

[@robinwilliams3844]

Sorry about your luck but without use of adhesion promoter, you loose a lot of flexibility needed on flexible plastic parts. You really should have used epoxy primer as well. The use of high grit (1500) sandpaper under the primer will smooth out the surface loosing even more tooth needed on this type of material. The things you did wrong WILL affect your paintjob. 1 yr and your paintjob will be lying on the garage floor.

[@crookassassin]

Agree with everyone else... Dude, most people watch these tutorials to learn the application process. All you showed was the finished coats, that's great and all and I'm happy for your result. But next time maybe show people the painting process....

[@alexafa316]

How can you use rattle cans on big surfaces I just don't understand.

[@MP-in4or]

So you forgot a very important item. It is not wise to straight up prime the bumper and paint the bumper by itself. The primer and paint are not flexible by themselves. Especially when temps change and the bumper bends. The paint will crack. It is critical that you use adhesive promoter that will help the paint and primer stick to flexible body parts. It will only be a matter of time when you paint starts to fall off because you did not use this. In addition you should sand the bumper with 320-400 before laying down primer. Primer has very big droplets. And the sand paper you use does not give enough teeth for the primer to grab. When painting the bumper you should use 600-800. That will give the pain enough teeth to grab and still give it a smooth finish. The paper you use does not give the paint enough teeth and will start to flake off.

[@lisandro.20k]

Wow this makes sense will use this tip when I paint my bumper thank you 👍🏼 I have painted my bumper how he did it and it started flaking eventually not right away but I’m about to re paint and will use your steps.

[@lisandro.20k]

When do I use the adhesive promoter? Before I prime or after I prime it? before the paint?

[@virjeeva]

It is good to know how the painting works are carried out. But it is not DIY(Do it yourself job) , need elaborate setup . It is completely professional automated painting in Car manufactures facility, The car companies not at all give helping hand for customers for carryout simple denting and painting works in their authorized service centers . Charging enormously for simple tinker and paint works .For the same front Bumper painting works authorized dealer charges Rs 5000/. I think car companies definitely not spending more than Rs 5000/ for painting whole new car at manufacturing. This is the big drawback in owning cars in cities . Every car manufacturer must have at least one automated body painting workshop in every major cities and offer denting and painting work at reasonable cost . It is possible , they may consider , If available it gave more sense of security in owning car .

[@georgespangler1517]

So many experts that don't have a glue,, sand no finer then 800 are you won't have etching and always use adhesion promoter on all fiberglass and plastic, with 1500 grit the paint has nothing to grip.

I think you did a wonderful job. It’s looking great! I would only add an exhaust fan to this video and two 1K lights. The lights let you see what you’re doing better and they make the paint stick to the bumper better. And they dry it better. The exhaust fan is for the over spray and your health. Turn the fan at the right speed so it doesn’t pull too fast or too slow. The fan will be messed up with paint rather than your lungs. You did a fantastic job and you worked extremely hard. The outcome was fabulous!
