Another very good reason to use sealer is it helps lock down any previous bodywork. Especially important on used panels.

I have a car that has body filler on one fender, hood, behind door, and both quarter panels as well as two new quarter panels, two new doors, new front bumper. Should I use high build primer over the body filler and then seal the rest?

[@newagetemplar6100]

I’ve had issues before where aerosol primer or base coat has been used 😵‍💫. This then leads to a crazed edge that you will always be chasing. Hence the need for sealer in this scenario. Exactly why I try not to touch metallics. 🫢 Admittedly I still use 2k , generally stick to solid colours and don’t use base coat and lacquer just a gloss top coat . For better or for worse I still prefer to give a car a good coat of primer, flat off and then a first coat of colour, that way it’s so much easier to see any imperfections especially when filler has been used as it has a tendency to shrink or wear away quicker than steel , leaving a low spot. it also reduces the chance of missing awkward spots. After the paint has cured, flat off and give it a final colour coat . Sometimes I don’t even use primer at all if no steel is exposed . Admittedly I only generally paint my own stuff and race cars still manage a good finish so luckily have the option of yeah that’s ok . Painting is an art and a very skilled underrated profession .

[@313istheD]

Hey! I’m new to channel but am actually really enjoying and learning but this video showed you contradicting a previous video? I am pointing out because I actually found advice in other video rock solid. The advice was to ensure you spray sides of a car in sections but to never stop over a handle to prevent drips. Yet, it appears you stop over handles? I know you’re the pro but us amateurs actually are watching and learning. Just a FYI but your work rocks and I have so many questions that you’ll surely hear from me again.

[@bearfnf4743]

great video, without noise canceling was good, with noise canceling was not bad but I think you don't need to talk as loud with the noise canceling on. You do a good job with audio either way. it is nice to be able to hear the spray gun in the background, help to hear how you are pulling the trigger.

[@shanepowers7566]

When in doubt, use sealer.

¡GREAT MASTER AND GREAT WOR ! THANK YOU TEACHER FOR THIS VIDEO. GREETINGS FROM LIMA PERU.

[@jimdrechsel3611]

Brian, I notice you are not wearing a full face mask respirator. Is this typical for you? Which mask is the you are wearing? In what situations are you choosing to wear full face masks? What would you recommend for spraying epoxy primers? If you did a video on PPE it would help. I know you can't be responsible for any choices made but it would still be a great topic to cover. If you have a video already I will look for it. Thanks for the great explanation for the sealer VS primer. Got a Paint Society suit today to support the channel.

[@OffRoadAdventureMadness]

He does this so he can talk in his videos easier we should all be wearing full face respirators when spray painting.

[@DetailingTurzovka]

In the end I saw how the front plastic bumper is not matching the hood color. Wouldn't be better idea to blend the color somehow on the front bumper also? As much as you guys try to match the paint, it seems it's also not always perfect for you as well. Matching a paint is a hardest level of difficulty i assume. Otherwise it looks like a quality job :)

[@PaintSociety]

Its the camera and angle. Natch perfect in oerson

[@DetailingTurzovka]

@@PaintSociety I'm glad for that then :=) Good job.

[@jimdrechsel3611]

I am redoing an engine compartment. It has a couple areas that are bare metal. Would you spot the bare metal areas with primer and then use sealer on the whole compartment? Would you spot the bare metal areas, sand the existing paint and then paint over the existing paint and spotted areas? I could use some advice how you would prepare and finish this type of situation. Always enjoy the videos. Thank you

[@kseries20-24only]

I feel like it's easier to get coverage for color when sealing 👍

That bumper is pretty shiny 😳

[@danlove4270]

seemed like you put the clear base over the fresh sealer without waiting for the sealer to flash off. Sometimes I get bleedthrough of the sealer solvents into the topcoat if dont give sealer enough time to flash. Maybe it dont matter with clear base? Love this channel!

[@PaintSociety]

you have to put it on ASAP otherwise it won’t do the job. We’re dealing with extreme heat and Florida so the edges dry extremely quick. Remember you can always lightly sand after it it Dries.

[@randallwoods1254]

great job👍

[@dcmbrown]

Got a weird question maybe. I've been seeing a lot of YT shorts of spray guns with the built in (sun?) lights. What do you think of them? Would you use one or do you consider them a gimmick? It seems like you'd get better use of one of those sun lights afterwards. You don't really have enough time to examine an area while spraying. It just seems like unnecessary heft to the spray gun while spraying.

[@PaintSociety]

They work great. Also if you have limited lightning. They help. No gimmick

[@jeepguylv80]

for me, the noise cancelling sounds digitized and cuts some words too low in volume especially at a further distance from the mic. for me it's harder to hear on my crappy laptop speakers lol. great blend job, I wish I could send you my truck to repaint, but I'm all the way in vegas.

[@Sigspearthumb1]

I have a question for you Brian. I hear you say all the time about using extra slow or slow reducer. I live in PA and sometimes it gets pretty cold here. My garage is not heated with the exception of a space heater and then a few propane heaters. But even with that the metal on the car itself never really gets real warm. What reducer would you recommend? Love your videos by the way.

I’m an AkzoNobel rep if you guys need to find his sealer, clear coat or even the Lesonal paint system ! 📲

Great job! The noise canceling in my opinion makes the voice sound "compressed" and you lose a bit of clarity sometimes.

[@snapfly7]

When I spray multiple parts with sealer or primer in the booth, by the time I get to the last couple parts they will have overspray dust on them. Should I tack rag it before spraying the primer or not worry about it?

Well Brian, I blew it on the hood for my digeline. I have wet sanded it down but still looks blotchy. I was thinking of hitting it hard with 600 ordering a quart of duplicolor taffeta white premixed and grabbing a spray gun from harmor freight and spraying it at home. Ideas?

so clear base meaning is clear coat as a 1 coat like 1st base right?? is this what u mean???

[@MarcoSteezy]

Noooo!!!! The blender is not the same as a clearcoat. These are two different things. You can use clear instead of a blender when mixing candy concentrate. You cannot use clear the same way he used the blender in this video.

Refurbishing alloy aluminum wheels. I'm using epoxy primer then primer sealer. Sprayed too far away, and epoxy primer has a rough texture, so gray 3m scotchpad then even coat of sealer. Painting wheels gloss black with VHT wheel paint. Can I use 2k clear, or should I use VHT Wheel clear gloss, Brian? Basecoat is Black gloss VHT wheel paint. Thanks

[@latinprince896]

So primer surfacer is basically the same thing as a high build primer just has different names?

[@MarcoSteezy]

Primer can come in 1k or 2k. High build is to help fill in scuff marks and other minor imperfections. 1k is thinner and usually acrylic. 2k is thicker and is usually polyurethane.
