Great instruction. I had never painted a car or body parts in 30 years and at least 25 cars I've owned. This past week I spray can painted (rattle can) my teenage son's Impreza in an open carport on gravel and dirt ground. I figured out what works for my area (western Colorado). I did 5 and 7 light to medium-wet coats on a whole car, over 4 sessions without fail. Took me 6 work days. Apply and let dry for 15 (minimum) to 20 (maximum) minutes between coats and it works fine for the paints I used. You should spray two small test areas with all environmental/time factors the same before the actual project. For example, if you have an area to spray that takes 10 minutes to paint it, wait and warm-up/shake your next can(s) for 5 minutes and start the next coat. That's a total of 15 minutes. I know up to 20 minutes is also good. But 40 minutes was too long because that induced chemical reactions and severe wrinkling. I painted in the same order/pattern each time I sprayed a section. I had zero runs, spray errors, or reaction defects. The original paint condition was below average. No body rust, but 50% of clear coat was gone and hunter green was faded and rock chips galore. Below is the weather, process and paint I used. 1. Up to 3-mph occasional breeze is okay, anything faster or constant is to be avoided. Clear skies, for light, preferred. 20% to 40% humidity. Temperature between 50F and 72F while spraying. Warmed spray cans in hot water in a bucket. Shake them as much as possible. Paints used on sides, nose and rear (3 sections): -- Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Gloss Navy Blue 2X Paint + Primer: 1 medium-wet coat. -- Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Enamel Gloss Navy Blue: 2 medium-wet coats. -- Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Enamel Crystal Clear coat: 2 light coats + 2 medium-wet coats. I think a 5th coat could be applied with no problems. Paints used on hood, roof and hatchback (1 section): -- Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Gloss Black 2X Paint + Primer: 2 coats. -- Rust-Oleum Universal Hammered Black: 3 coats (4th coat optional). ***Color dries gloss dark grey with blackish specs, not solid black. 2. Sanded car with 100 and 150 grit dry paper by hand, with a scrubby dish sponge as the pad to fold the paper around. First, I sanded high defect/damaged spots...double their original size. Then I sanded vertically and again horizontally (cross hatched) the whole car. I should have sanded once more with 400 to 600 grit because when finished painting I could see some 100 grit sanding lines in a few spots. 3. From this point forward you must walk carefully to protect from dirt contamination...do not drag or scuff the ground. Wet the surrounding area to help keep dust out of air. Douse car with hot water and wipe down with rags. Let air dry 30 minutes. Check that all areas are smooth/scuffed well...touch up as needed. Wash with hot water+dish soap and rags/sponge. Rinse well. Dry with microfiber. Air dry 15 minutes. Tape up as necessary. 10 to 15 minutes before paint spraying use a microfiber cloth and lighter fluid or mineral spirits (same thing) to wipe down the section to be painted. Immediately before painting wipe all surface with a tack cloth. As you're spraying move slowly and don't scuff the ground. 4. Even in the open air you will want to use a painting respirator, but at minimum cover nose and mouth with thick damp cloth or N95/N100 face mask. Clear, tight fitting safety eye glasses work best...the larger goggles reflect light and make wet paint difficult to see clearly. I had to go without eye cover and just squinted my eyes when the paint spray was thick, because goggles distorted the light. 5. It will take these paint formulas 3+ hours to dry to firm finger touch so leave it alone for 5 hours. I let it dry 24 hours in the carport and then put it in the Sunlight for 2 more days before driving. At 25 to 30 days I'll polish and wax it. If you want to see pics drop me your email and I'll send you a couple.

[@giwrgosvass2005]

Great job really

[@patrickobrien2068]

Hi, i want to follow your method for car painting! I just want to clarify that you're using the European FEPA system of sand paper grids for all your work, with a "P" in front of the number? In the US we have two systems, and they don't correspond over about 220 grit.

[@mikithocharous3584]

Top videos mate big fan thanks!

[@m.r.ismail5703]

[@mdestani]

Hi, do you flat the paint after you have done the clear or before?

[@Elaba_]

First the clear and then the primer.

[@matthewhutton1281]

Good video ;)

[@j3rkk]

nice bro

[@khaledkali84]

Good jop

[@henrybaxter-ashworth2622]

Hi can u help ?

[@kennyman338]

in different angles the shade is off.

[@Roamraider]

its way off lol

[@nino_88]

definitely a shade darker cause when I saw the first vid he painted it wrong and didn't color blend.

[@Duke_Togo_G13]

Yeah... I would have blended, and used a fine tiger hair fiberglass to fill the bumper, because the body filler is not flexible.

[@paulmac007]

Shame about the awful colour match.

[@djgoodguy3681]

What! Not shiny! Fail :(
