STEP by STEP Guide to Paint Your Car By Yourself!

[@billkea7224]

i am a hobby painter, but I learned so much from this video. This also shows why a good paint job cost so much.

[@bigblocklawyer]

October marked my 40th year painting. I started at a Corvette restoration shop in St. Louis in 1983. I was 13. The owner started me out painting frames and suspension and engines, and I moved quickly to full paint. It was around the time Dupont ChromaBase and ChromaClear came out and many of the bases were modified lacquers. Dupont reps told us for certain colors lightly sanding with 1000 grit dry before clearing was recommended for good adhesion. Good times. I do mostly full restorations, but occasionally paint a car worth taking completely apart and pulling all the glass to prep for paint, like a Grand National. With as much painting as I've done, I enjoy playing videos like this in the shop throughout the day just for something to listen to in the background. It's encouraging to see someone explain some skill or discipline as well as this, knowing someone who may want to start has a solid base to use as a reference and will get off to a good start. There are PLENTY of paint hacks giving garbage advice. It's good to see someone give a relatively basic tutorial, yet advanced enough anyone watching will learn something regardless their experience level.

It's the best candy paint masterclass i ever seen.

[@larryc1964]

I’m a licensed Automotive Painter here in Sarnia Ontario Canada. My compliments n your video. I found it very accurate and informative for beginners 👍🏼

[@squareyes1981]

I’d call this the definitive repaint video. It’s comprehensive but no less detailed than necessary to achieve a good result. Well done to all involved. I’ve owned my fair share of cars but 20 years on, it’s my black EG hatch I’d want back.

[@BottomNotch]

That’s was awesome! I painted my 69 Chevy k20 last night metallic blue. Turned out pretty damn good thanks to your videos gave me the confidence and tips required! Thanks Brian!

[@bigchopper14]

Thats an amazing paint job, you guys are so clever. I didn't realise how much skill, patience and talent was needed to do this.

[@edwinheredia4305]

This is what you call beautiful teamwork. You guys are awesome.

[@blakeerdmann]

Rhino lined engine bay and interior. Never seen an engine bay done before. Nice!

[@stotts58]

As good as you are you make people who never thought about painting want to paint because you a good teacher and just that good thanks I appreciate you very much.

[@williamardenjr116]

Mirror mirror on the wall,this mutha fuda knows it all! Love your channel homie

[@eze4life100]

I Do gotta say, thank you. I Only recently earned experience in the body collision and painting field, with a background in automotive mechanics and a spread of diversity in welding and fabrication across all techniques outside of the newer process of laser welding. Overall, ill say this video allows anyone with a sense of common understanding, the idea to expand beyond this, to seek more from their creativity rather than just spraying cause the boss told you, or the manufacturer gave you the steps. What you provide is a means for people to dive into more of what it means to be unique... Creativity. ThanK You.

[@s13joe]

I painted a friends truck this exact color earlier this year, he wanted a full color change so i did pretty much exactly what this video says and it came out much better than I and my friend expected! He wanted it painted red and let me choose the color, after all was said and done he's extremely happy, really love this color. All I just need to do now is color sand it and buff it out, or possibly flow coat it if my friend wants to spend the extra money on clear. Love your videos btw, very informative and your motto hits the nail on the head "Don't over think it, it's just paint." Keep up the great video's Brian.

[@sharplinespecialties-timot1156]

Things have certainly changed a lot since the days when I sprayed so much Acrylic Enamel on cars and pickups. I have been watching your videos and preparing for an upcoming paint job on a full size Bronco restoration and color change paint. I will be using an inflatable paint booth outside. I appreciate all the videos you have showing the thorough process to get a good job. Thank you so much for these videos. My confidence level has risen and my wife's dream car (suv) will be looking very good.

[@jimprovax6846]

Wow what a long process. The car turned out beautiful. Nice job guys. Always enjoy your videos Brian. Keep up the great work.

[@s.dtrinisquad6040]

This is a very good painting video with lots of tips 💯

[@BodeVision]

Awesome video man! I learn so much every time

[@PaintSociety]

This was a great collab! Thanks again for your awesome work!

[@BottomNotch]

I was literally going to asking when is this video coming…. Bingo Perfect timing!

[@donvanco3078]

I don 't paint cars, I paint guitars - but this was a great video. I want to use this color and there was a lot of useful info here. Thanks for putting it out there.

[@lilred4224]

I'm painting my truck 86 d100 thank you for explaining it so easily I thought it would be harder than this like you said don't think into it too much And that's what I'm gonna do thank you Brian👍

[@randellerichards6667]

Omg!!!!! Finally my friend!!! Jamaica is in the house yow!!!!!!

[@PaintSociety]

Representing !

[@ricardocoutinosanchez]

De la A a la Z .... From A to Z ! Amazing! Flawless work, even removing the seals and caring of little hid details :O

[@troytipton13]

You have really changed my entire perspective or painting. The stuff you have taught me is something I will pass on to others.

[@OFFICIAL_DSR]

The 10 minutes between coats makes your day so much better

[@FreakinRican]

I cant wait to see this in person, i had this color painted on my 88 CRX Si and it really is a color that pops in the sun. Great choice!

[@gheorghedavid7652]

Congratulations, it's extraordinary the result! Good luck on future projects! Regards, David

[@killadelphia215]

I also like Mario’s suit, I love that blue!

[@juanmata2433]

Awesome job sir. Love the voice over, now that I have taken on the role of training painter I uses a lot of the videos as tips on how to train painters and reminding them it’s just paint, don’t over think it!

[@clarajohn2653]

That's finger nail polish color. I love it. Good job. I have a 1970 Chevy truck that needs paint job.

[@luisventura6172]

Wow! This was a great video! Fantastic job with exceptional results. Now I understand why paint jobs cost as much as they do. You explained everything you did with great detail, and even gave us some good-to-know side knowledge here and there. The amount of information I just learned from watching this video feels equivalent to what I would have learned taking classes at a college/university. This video was definitely an inspiration in more ways than one. Awesome work!

[@catsilva04]

This is my favorite modern color, I always stare at the red mazdas. Make me want to buy one. It has so much shimmery depth.

[@100amps]

One of your best videos ever, Brian! Well done. My Mazda has that colour and the collision shop did a crappy job of matching the rear bumber they replaced. But they don't care. Insurance doesn't cover a perfect match or blend. It's a tough one.

[@PaintSociety]

Thank you!

[@jimserhant7741]

Such an amazing video. Thank you so much for taking the time to produce and share it. I love Mazda’s Soul Red Metallic, I believe that’s what Mazda calls this color, to the point I’m seriously considering doing a complete color change on my Acadia with their color.

[@watchthesky.]

All work done through insurance in West Australia has a lifetime warranty,if your not happy with it,it goes back until you are.Cheers mate.

[@NavyGirlO6]

Wow. Beautiful, complex color, and the explanations that went along with each step of the process were phenomenal. Brian, watching you and Mario working together was like watching a ballet. This may be my favorite episode yet. Can’t wait to attack my classic car with everything you’ve taught. Thanks a million! Keep it up.

[@amiesports]

Amazing, well explained video as always!! These video's helped me repaint 2 cars and a motorcycle already. There's a learning curve, mostly feel, but once you get it it's pretty satisfying let me tell you.

[@daniloancheta4179]

Nice and perfect sir...preparation is absolutely the best and the result is amazing...good job well done' from Philippines..god bless both of you and the paint society..

[@timdavidson1861]

You guys really have a passion for excellence by taking your time and explaining things down to finite points /those little extra things that takes a paint job from good to awesome!! I learned alot and enjoyed tuning in today for the first time.......patience and being meticulous wins out in this profession and you definitely have all that and more!! Nice job!! Tim D

[@toyehooks8239]

MAN!!!!!!!! That turned out absolutely Beautiful!! Hard work and Patience definitely pays off in the end!!! Glad you didn’t over think it 🤣🤣🤣

[@PaintSociety]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@AlexMwendia-yp4gj]

You guys are the best💯,,i love you guys ❤

[@mitraramsaroop6275]

Brian is the best I ever see in Bodywork keep up the good work bro ❤

[@Muzzleblast-1911]

That color is amazing. I'm really enjoying your vids. I started watching because I want to try to paint my s10 after doing some body repairs. It will be a frame off and total dismantle because it went through the 2019 flooding. It was ten feet under water! It's a mess! I'm kind of thinking a satin white. I should probably add that i have never done body or paint work before! I have painted cars with rattle cans a few times way back in the day. I have faith i can do this. And I'm an extremely skeptical person! Thank you for putting vids out like you do. It makes it possible for people like me to do my own work with less trial and error.

[@angelmorales220]

It came out amazing. 😍😍😍😍

[@starckmad1779]

What a beautiful paint job! Thanks for sharing!

[@Novarider72]

Thank you for making this video super awesome.God bless you

[@TheSpiderpaint]

Hola amigo ..!!! Estuve esperando este video 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉……! Saludos desde chile 🇨🇱

[@dudefromlaveenaz]

Love that color. My wife has it on her CX-5 and we get a lot of compliments on it.

[@kevdogcle9955]

😮 remarkable job. The car looks beautiful. Well done guys. 😮

[@richsmith6952]

Great paint video! I will watch this again for sure!

[@derrickblagg1440]

Loved the video, I have a suggestion on your process. Try it and see what you think. So it’s the prep microfiber roll. I love using the same roll. Leave the package on, and pull out the center roll of cardboard. It’s not very hard to do. Then pull and tear from the center. It keep them cleaner and dust free. And if the roll falls off the car if won’t unroll, and the packaging does it’s job keeping it clean until the last couple. I know it’s a small thing, but I hated watching a few new rolls hit the booth floor by accident. They are much cheaper alternative to the paper shop towels in the box, but the box is convenient. So pulling the cardboard makes it just like the box. Paint on👍

[@aaronmacquarrie]

Best video to date. 👍 Looking forward to watching it again...

[@comfort_in_discomfort]

Brian - I just watched one of your first videos from years ago when you were making the garage spray booth. A few grey hairs and a lot of experience later... Killin' it!

[@PaintSociety]

A few? Lol haha times have come along

[@Mickey_Bauer]

This Civic has a tailgate haha, i love it. Great job guys, eye candy... 😃👍

[@dustinhillis5336]

[@GOGREEN454]

Getting ready to paint my 91 foxbody from its stock color Red to a Red with some light flake this video nailed it . Thanks 🤙

[@mura0]

The amount of good info in this video is invaluable. Thank you Brian.

[@PaintSociety]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tonydixon2684]

Been waiting for this video to drop and it didn't disappoint

[@Giroux68]

So nice. The raptor liner inside is a sick touch.

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

nice work amzing color

[@KillaCiViC1181]

How do you tell if you're going to need a ground coat or not? I'm wanting to paint the 2022 Accord Sonic Grey on my 98 Civic, currently vogue silver, but badly oxidized and peeling, so I know I'm going to have to sand down to metal in a lot of areas.

[@roberthead7562]

Thank you so very much. Great work and tutorial!

[@mrjklee]

daaaaam what a finish!

[@MrThetaphi]

Great job, thanks for sharing this!

[@PaintSociety]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@discipleofchrist5217]

I did the exact same car the exact same way except mine was a sapphire blue perl & it came out beautiful like glass. 3 coats of color & 5 coats of clear it was so deep & rich thay it looked super wet like kandy. I miss my civic hatchback.

[@BIGTONY2132001]

You guys make this look so easy!! Fantastic job!

[@TheCarnager]

I love it! What a beautiful color!

[@CrankAddict]

Excellent video. I am in the middle of my 6th or 7th paint job (Tamco sublime green pearl) and i still learned a lot. I wish you made this video about 2 months ago, however. LOL.

[@martinbradbury5920]

That looks nice. I love the color it really pops

[@bayramilhan30]

Great work gentlemen, thank you..

[@chefswole]

Hey Brian, thank you so much for the great informative video! Wondering how long after the cut in did you wait to start taping up the car to paint the exterior as a whole.

[@lifeontheinline]

Best videos Now I have to get garage ready lol Awesome vids

[@paradiseprod6153]

Thank you for this, working alot rn to support the fam but I got a 3kgt i want to save eventually, gonna come back to this

[@k-logistics2399]

what a great paint job , wish i can work with you guys

[@TurbineResearch]

Great job ❤

[@JP-vs1ys]

brian always makes it look easy!

[@Gary_in_NoVA]

For sure. I did my 1st fender paint job about a year ago after watching Brian & a dozen other videos. 10x harder than Brian makes it look, and my results were crap, compared to Brian.

[@Ulr149tw21]

great job how much overlap on the 3 coats of clear is it all the same thanks

[@mayrondelacruzperez5893]

Always amazing videos with the best explanation🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@shmerd1]

Used to own an 88 Honda Civic. Think it was the same car, but didn’t have that beautiful paint job!

[@daveerrington5166]

Wow, I really like this color

[@The8BitHero]

Mazda has the best red imo. It's so good.

[@formdog9861]

that paint job is amazing love how you went through all the steps it takes to do a good job thank you

[@frontlinecustom]

Thanks, pretty well covered all the bases on this one..👍😎

[@faniskaradis9]

good job Brian very very good

[@RGD-Audio-Repairs]

Absolutely spot on tutorial..... Love it dude.. :)

[@ganeshnarayan5505]

Wow beautiful paint job you guys thanks for sharing.

[@FullSendFabrication]

Can the sealer go directly on the factory paint? Or will the factory paint need a scuff & if so what grit size? Thank you for these videos they’re amazing!!

[@kevinborshell6105]

Great video beautiful paint job

[@jus1975]

I'm a big fan. Haven't yet had a chance to paint. But I feel more confident with your videos. Do you have a video explaining how to read the tds and how to mix. Perhaps I missed it

[@757body8]

thank you, watched the entire video

[@enriquelopez9124]

Awesome paint job, the car looks 👌🏼 👍🏿 👏 😀 😎 with i the new paint .

[@sjjvddyumiherhv3709]

I wish there is someone in my country that can do real good paint like this

[@8209eduardo]

This is a piece of art. I wish I'd had leard this trade

[@AlexanderGarcia-mp3lb]

Great video i try to paint my car so let see what happen

[@jamesmarques7245]

I mix black and some red base giving me a black cherry base faster spraying process and consistency!

[@bigrod0069]

Dang! you guys really did a great job

[@n.elliott9122]

Mazda actually patented that color in the beginning. Soul red crystal. Mazda said they wanted the color to come to life and reflect the soul of the Master, or the artist/designer/painter. They developed a new and unique method/program/style/algorithim that allowed the robotic machines to move more gracefully and fluid when painting the cars this color. The story is very fascinating.

[@frias2287]

Nice one bro

[@boxer71c55]

Is the pre painting prep basically wax and grease remover or is it something different? Thanks.

[@ronalves9118]

Hi Brian, This is some fantastic paint job!!! I have a question because in the video I can not tell if you will still need to buff it out, or did that last clear coat make everything smooth? Thank You Ron USCG RET
