My First Time Painting a Car! - Highschool Beginner

Heading into my senior year, I needed something to do. So I took on painting a car as a fun project. This took about half a month, since we didn't really have much time on our hands.
Gun used - Astro EUROHE103
1.9 for primer
1.3 for paint
Used 20-22 PSI on the spray gun
played around with 50-75 overlap, 75 worked best for me.

polish it. it will look 100times better

[@grupposoleblufranto7971]

Yeah Have you tried Polish on your car or wax ceramic nano which is better? Thanks

[@kaisercontrolsyou3636]

@@grupposoleblufranto7971 they are diffrent things the ceramic coat is like wearing gloves for your paint and polish gets the paint level so removing scratches etc

[@grupposoleblufranto7971]

Thanks for your clarification ​@@kaisercontrolsyou3636

[@CL4SSiCS]

​@grupposoleblufranto7971 you only use ceramic coating after polishing. It is a semi permanent option so it will leave the paint looking bad

[@williammorrison6328]

Lots of respect to you for taking on this project. Don't listen to the haters. Plenty of videos on wet sanding and buffing to hone it in. Also, take a look at Autobody for a career option. I've been in it for many years now and wake up every morning excited to get to work.

Thank you 🙏 😇

[@benjaminbuljevic7977]

@@DrivenForFun yes, wet sand and polish to get a perfect result. its worth the effort!

[@alexandervu1976]

Love how it came out, especially for your first time! 🔥🔥🔥

[@sergiorodriguez7955]

Dont give up. Always enjoy any project with your dad. My dad and I had so many projects

[@connorbean4837]

For a first attempt thats an awesome result, Not many people get it that good on a first attempt, especially on an entire car. Nice work and props to you for giving it a go! Look forward to more videos.

[@MrThestevster]

Things to fix for the next time: -Dust free environment -Blending the paint from panel to panel -Sand ALL of the scratches out before you paint anything -Don't finish with an orbital sander, finish by hand with a block -always hand sand "side to side", NEVER "forward and backward" (This avoids making finger-sized/spaced sanding grooves) -Maybe back away slightly when you spray -Don't spray panels separately if you are doing metal flake/pearl/candy/etc... (the product will lay down differently from panel to panel) -Yes, hold the gun perfectly perpendicular to your surface

Great job. Looks 100 times better. I painted a car for the first time back in college. Full of orange peel and other imperfections, but I learned a lot from the experience.

[@garrysofjan3798]

Looks better than my paint job. With wet sand and polish it will turn much better.

[@SteveStevenson-tg2mb]

1.Put sheets of toilet paper over ya mask filter, keeps em goin longer! 2. Orange peel is usually low pressure related, if its peely straight from the get go, turn your pressure up, like 35 psi+, if its ok then goes peely, your compressor is probably losing pressure, so youll need to slow down. 3. If it aint right, paint it white! 😂

Shocked to see you don’t have hundreds of thousands of views, got a new sub. Your content quality is immaculate, stay consistent and you will certainly see success.

[@dostuffchannel]

First car I painted was my 78' BMW. Did it in two stage paint. I used quality components and I had many runs and orange peel, but after wet sanding and polishing it was amazing! In my opinion single stage is much harder to paint than two stage. Good job and great attitude.

[@thetriggerman954]

Be sure to tune into The Triggerman before you attempt your next paint job. Lots of single stage tips. Good job man 👏🏼👏🏼

[@gman9035]

Looks a lot better and you did it. Take pride in it.

[@da-mazing8500]

Well done! Like you say it's all a learning process. It's only paint too. You can always sand down and reapply

[@hitbyGROSJEAN]

You can always wet sand and polish/compound if you’re not happy with certain imperfections!

[@alaniple]

i'm not really into car painting, but it looked pretty interesting and the paint itself looked good! 👍

[@creamsdestinedfuture]

does look a lot better, give her a quick buff with a wool pad and yeah, you learnt alot.. do a test run always before spraying on tha car doe❤

[@caffeine_carl]

Good Job! I did my first at home paint job last year, and it turned out pretty similar. I ended up doing a cut and buff, and it worked wonders, highly recommend

[@Allussion]

not even 100 subs? this content is so good bro. just subbed

[@djngo7693]

Key to spraying single stage is to turn down the material on the gun. Its tricky to spray as a first timer because its easy to run it. Youre tiger striping besause of a combination of the amount of material coming out of the nozzle and inconsistant overlap technique and fan pattern

[@jundialhaqiqa9907]

Big improvement

[@tonyp992]

That’s pretty good , great project

[@taft929]

this shit tuff asf foenem 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@UnderTheBridgeLiving]

Wtf is foenem? 😂🤣

[@izzacdagoon]

Paint my celica for me yeah 😂

[@staygolden84]

open the fan up on spraygun turn the psi up more too, move faster also walk the length of the car, also theres something called control coat to avoid the tiger stripes on the hood and roof

[@MatthewSimm]

Awesome work mate!

[@darrenhamada7698]

Looks pretty good. I just had my truck painted for 5300 which is a 98 tacoma

[@nicktoddla5720]

It really needs wet sanding and compounding

[@flaggov6949]

I hope that's the second video in the series.

[@chomapa]

with some clear coat wet sand and cut in buff it would eliminate alot of the orange peel and look really nice

[@goodforrostami9481]

I Love it 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍

[@FinnClark445]

Nice ducks hehehe

[@artimus0112]

imma say you picked pretty hard color to begin with you should either get a white or a black to start with but considering the laws over colour change, i guess you cant help with that... still you can reduce those runs using buff and polish

[@Grant7]

Not bad for your first job.

[@melvinthemechanic]

Never wet down a car with body filler. It sucks it all up and the panel will rust

[@Keaguan]

Camry!

[@rmyc]

Ngl, rustoleum spray job would have been cleaner
