[@autofanaticcars]

As a car customizer and painter who restores specialty cars you did an outstanding job on this NSX, i had the liberty of doing an inspection on an identical NSX two years ago and the bumper and hood also did not match and my client passed on the car. What lots of guys end up doing on these older collectible cars are quick shoddy repairs then they cover it with PPF which makes it even harder to see and know whats under the PPF if it is even original or not. Once again Brian outstanding content as always and this color is not easy to get right but from seeing this car outside it came out bang on perfect. FYI I also use the same IWATA for clearcoats best gun ever if your going after that flat final finish with less sanding and buff.

[@GilmoreGraphixIncSparks]

PPF would also prohibit the use of magnets to check for filler.

[@PaintSociety]

Thanks for those words! You definitely have to keep your standards at a high level working on these cars. In my mind I try and think of every possibility that can go wrong and correct it before hand. It’s been working so far. Thanks for the love

[@HiFiInsider]

I would love to know the cost of the projects in your videos. It would help viewers to have a proper expectation of cost and job quality.

[@KWW0321]

For my PPG envirobase system it would be around $250 for materials if I used EC550 for the clear. If you went to your local jobber they would charge a bit more to mix it up for you and the gallon kit of EC550 is around $600. I believe he is on the sikkens scheme so pricing would be different.

[@pbassassinz8097]

If you watch the video you see how much it costs, the tools he uses and the paint. The cheapest paint is around $200 a gallon for one car that's the way it is. If the viewers don't understand all that they don't need to be painting cars it's not easy.

[@4WheelBuilds]

Brian thanks for another great vid. On my paint job I was getting flakes of paint coming up from the masking foil around my paint area during spraying clear coat. The flakes were of the sealer and base I just sprayed. Do you know why that happens?

[@wadewebb5430]

[@josecarlos3443]

Parabéns seu trabalho é excelente

[@mellis181]

Nice video. I have a question in regards to body filler and primer. On my 66 Mustang I performed some minor body work and used Evercoat Z-Grip filler. My issue is that the filler is showing through my epoxy primer. I have put on 3 coats but you can still see the shadows. No raised surface just a shadow. I will eventually be spraying with a 2K urethane primer/surfacer before color. Should I worry about the body filler bleed through or do you think the 2K urethane and color will cover them?

[@robertstorozyk2431]

Really like what I'm learning from your videos! Quick question - what is that UV flashlight that you used? Thank You.

[@mynewhaircut]

I don't think ive ever matched yellow without blending. Ill do spray outs and think itd good then end up having to blend it.i think im yellow blind lol

[@KWW0321]

Same here, I had one in back in May and thought my sprayout was dead on with my envirobase system but once I started spraying it was a no go!

[@dangreving1094]

Ok that’s what it is, I’m yellow blind too.

[@Raider_Robert]

Color matching is an art I always end up freestyling the colors. Been doing it for years.

[@KWW0321]

@robertornelas2663 Do you just adjust off of the prime variant from your mixing scheme? I recently switched my shop over to Envirobase and matching has gotten extremely good but yellows and Mazda 46v are still a righteous pain!

[@Raider_Robert]

@@KWW0321 yeah I'll choose the best variant. I spray it and since I have almost all the tones from ppg dbc memorized.I Can tell what it needs. I'm always spraying then adding drops of colors that it needs. Respray sometimes it can be a little time consuming but comes out legit.

[@WTFFlipSide101]

That looks great. I notice that you don't quote costs or prices for the work. Just out of curiosity if I wanted this done to a car I owned what should I expect to pay.

[@Patrick94GSR]

my gosh man, the level of skill is astounding. What can I do to find someone of your skill to paint my Integra? Bringing my car to south FL on a trailer would not be out of the question. Not anytime soon but someday in the near future hopefully. The last paint job was not a very good one, and I want so badly for it to have a proper quality job done. I'm not opposed to learning to paint a few small pieces, but wouldn't really trust myself to do the body work on the whole car.

Beautiful work brother, wow! I noticed you get awfully close to the car with your guns, how do you avoid runs?

[@PhillipTieuChainz]

Would you recommend using the UV putty for filling set screw drill holes? Holes made when bonding a fiberglass flare to a steel panel? I have problems with the holes dipping when the sun is strong.

[@uses0ap]

Do primer/sealer colors effect the Basecoat finish? For example, RED basecoat applied on top of white, grey, black, red primers? Would the RED basecoat results come out lighter or darker based on primer/sealer color?

[@PaintSociety]

Yes. Great question. Do spray out cars using the same sealer so you know how many coats will be needed

[@charlieadams8701]

S.O.S. I ran out of basecoat before I had full coverage on a crown vic front bumper and sidemolding. It will be days before I can finish, and clearcoat it. Any suggestions ? God bless !

Very nice Bry Guy......

[@PaintSociety]

[@PrestonSchmidli]

I noticed that you paint a lot of cars with the panels still on. How well does that paint/clear the edges of the panels as it wraps around towards the backside? Is there a time when you pull all panels off and paint them separate from the chassis? Would love to hear your take!

[@sinan3511]

Hey Brian would you recommend to use a yellow sealer for a yellow full paintjob, or would you recommend a white sealer? I don't use waterborne paints.

Hi, I'm from the UK and new to your channel and need recommendations on buying a durable clear lacquer. I need a product which is scratch resistant to minimise the chances of getting stone chips. Glasurit 923-447 was the direction I was pointed in but nowhere in the UK is selling that product, let alone the hardener or thinner which accompanies it. Other brands such as Deltron and Sikkens have been mentioned but I have no clue what's guaranteed to work besides the product I can not get a hold of.

So i followed (poorly) your diy videos about rattle can paint jobs: The color went on ok, not perfect The clear 1k was from a decent brand, but still 1k and rattle-can, and combined with inexperience i ended up with some parts that has runs, som parts that have orange peel and some that looks dry. It's about 3 coats of clear. What is fixable and how?

[@thomaskappauf7345]

Do you ever use a ground from the car to the floor for static??

I'm having difficulty getting my block sanding on every section of the car even/level throughout the entire car. Meaning this ... I block sand each section using guide coats and proper blocks, technique , etc. , But when I complete one section then move onto the next, I repeat and that section also comes out great , but then when I compare to the section I just did right next to this one, it's not even, level with each other. I'm not talking inches, not even centimeters, but I am a very detailed ocd prrson, and I'm talking milimetrrs.... Not necessarily enough difference to where a normal person would be able to tell, but enough of a variance where someone like me would be able to detect if looking extremely closely. Do u happen to have any advice or suggestions on how to remedy this or is this an unavoiadable thing

I was getting nervous when he was putting the clear coat on how slow he was moving And it seemed like he was going over the same spot about 3 to 4 times so I thought it was to think and going to run. But I know this guy is a professional he does great work and I guess it's all on the way you set up your spray pattern on your gun I know that makes a huge difference on how the gun is set up.

[@thegarageetc]

can you use that putty to fix door edges or hood edges?, my car has 2 repaints and there is some door edge damage and hood edge damage, Thanks for the video

there seems to be a lot of paint at the edges so that is why I think they are damage, so maybe I will have to sand down the edge or something, if you have any video on this please share the link
