I have been trying various brands of clear and base over the past 3 years and have got quite a few sags and runs in the clear. For me poor lighting is a huge factor in getting them. Your comment that you would rather push the clear and get a run than have a dry job is spot on and quite reassuring to a guy who only paints maybe 2-3 cars a year. You are the best!

Thanks for making my wife’s boss’s car look better than pre-loss condition. I tried to find that run after you removed it and couldn’t. Nice job bro.

I had painted an old car of mine. Single stage Centari. Metallic. Few runs. Friend who does nothing but buffs cars all day at a body shop. Buffed car for me. I had wet sanded car 1000-2000. Watching him razor the runs out and buff. Shows what thousands of hours of experience does. 😊. Excellent Kandy man.

You are one of the best old time painters on KZbin I consistently learn by watching you. I too use razor blades to shave runs but going 90° to the sag I've never done...makes me want to run one to try it. I am using the mirka tungsten blade as well now works very well and never digs in. Great video and channel.

Great work buddy getting them out like that saves a re do and time and money.i have used the polyester putty method a few times over the years and does work pretty good on bigger runs as you don’t rub down around the run just the run itself:) keep them coming buddy love the updates 👍👍

Thanks for vid. New learning is the pre sand so it helps bring out the run definition. I have a similar run in a door I just did so watching lots of vids. First one I’ll try to remove so thanks for your guidance. Confidence I can do this boost for sure.

Good job. Since I use cheap clears it can be a challenge to get it hard enough. I put the bake light on it a few times. The putty method can map where it was and have to polish it again. It could just be on the clear.

I enjoy watching you. and am learning a lot. On a different topic of confusion for me...are the 3M PPS gun adapters specific for use on either a PPS Original or a PPS 2.0 cup and cap? Meaning I would hate to have to purchase both The Original and the PPS 2.0 cups and caps. Thank you.
@kandyman5315 Жыл бұрын
2.0 is the newest version you can go with either
@nealnaz Жыл бұрын
@@kandyman5315 after asking you, I did a live chat with 3M. Was told from company rep that the PPS 2.0 kits should be less expensive. I also learned the difference in appearance of both adapters. ORIGINAL has a flat adapter surface and 2.0 has sort of wings and a small funnel shape. The Original cup has 2 clips to hold the adapter and 2.0 has 4 points to clasp cup. Unfortunately, before realizing the two are NOT interchangeable, or that there was any difference, I ordered adapters that are only for Original PPS. The company no longer makes Original PPS adapters and those don't have the "S" in the name. For the Kiwami4, I was told the #43 is the Original PPS Adapter and the #S43 is the 2.0 Adapter. Hope that info helps someone else out.

first of all he is not an old time painter, i am an old time painter, go to h.d. and get a flat fine 1/2 inch wide cut it down to 3 inch bevel the edges and epoxy to a piece of wood, works great. on really big runs an old time metal file works wonders. I actually did that once on a cadillac door, it worked but had to respray as it was too slick. got to keep the orange peel even
