The secret "transition coat." I remember seeing Gabriel from motivated painters do this. Amazing tip that in his words, "will save your life" and anyone that's worked with tri-coat white pearls knows exactly what this means.

Great video! And now with 99% less "Go Ahead" than normal! ; ) I'm gonna Go Ahead and congratulate you on that. My wife brought it to my attention that I said "go ahead" waaaay too much. I'll let ya in on the secret that dropped my "go ahead" count way down.... anytime you feel the urge to say "go ahead", just skip forward to the word that you were intending to say after "go ahead." Works great, and broke my "go ahead" habit in no time.

I am that guy. The one who always thinks "it just needs a little more...". I have learned over the years that that little more of whatever can often wait until I have time to think, that that little more is often unnecessary once I think it over, and that little more usually does more harm than good. Whether it's being a perfectionist or not being confident in ourselves, we could often all do with a little less of that little more.

[@ecstatic8696]

Great vids on pearl, ty! Any tips on outside, always a breeze, spray can wide nozzle, Tons of over-spray. Screws with the texture and makes it look splotchy. When I hold the can closer to reduce over-spray, nozzle is too close at the center spray. Am I explaining this right? Lol

[@MartinMora92]

BRYAN can you do a video on how to tint the white under base coat on a pearl white when its off a little bit? Usually we pick the closest variant when we buy from our paint supplier, we dont all have a mixing system bank like you guys, some of us have to buy from the paint store and depend on them to make it right, How can i tint the underbase or how can i get a camera scan to get the closest match? Usually ive been adding drops of black.and using a spray card to tweak it but sometimes im off on the undercoat

[@brianmai7717]

Love your show. What is your pain boost brand, and how much will it cost to set it up. Please advise if you don't might.

[@jcredworc6235]

Great videos. Been several years since I've done any DIY painting, so I'm rusty as it gets. My kid messed up the front fender of my White Chocolate 2008 Ford Edge. Ordered up a new fender that I intend to paint off the vehicle, but I'm concerned about the color match to the door once installed. What would you suggest doing?

[@Dan_druft]

Yeah more or less exactly how I would do it, well done good job.

[@terrybirdhowtod.i.y6008]

Im wanting to paint my sons 85 sw 4wd pearl white. From what I’ve learned from you and others I want to do the 3 stage. My question is what color primer do I need ? From what I understand it needs to be white but don’t this 2k cover a lot of blemishes and fill in some spots makin it very forgiving for the first timer like me. It’s gonna be a father son project. Thanks in advance and any other advice is greatly appreciated

I wish you were out in Chicago😭 everyone out here is scared to do pearl white!!!

[@angelmorales220]

Nice

[@ianariyoshi2712]

Do you wet sand after spraying is finished? Or does it mess up the pearl?

[@christianrodriguez9054]

Does the fresh paint match the existing paint or do you have to wait for fresh paint to dry

[@jotighe2]

great video, exactly what I expect from the paint society. Question: did you repaint the door handles and mirror to match the new blend, it's right where the new paint is? if not, how would they match? you don't need to show it, but you should mention it either way, whether you did or not. another beginner question: what set up are you using in the air gun/compressor (not the gun, but the machine it's connected to)? does SCFM matter, or just 12-30 psi? what about moisture in the air lines; what rig are you using?

[@PaintSociety]

It matches matches because the color I put on the vehicle is matching the door handles

[@ajmac996]

Hi Brian why do you put the clear coat on first for is it 2k and would it not dry to much b4 you clear over the whole area,I also got a email about a competition I was to text back but I do know if it's ok or not

[@enj0i20]

whats up with the x technic ? how does it work ? is works on all blends or just pearls?

First I am a mechanic not a painter so easy ok. Lol. Since I started watching and painting I cannot put a gun down. I shot my first metallic pearl single stage today. I failed miserably the metallic in the paint went fine it was when it was drying all the pearl gathered in one area. It’s like it floated to the top and puddled. I followed the tech sheet to a tee so that thought. Don’t know what happened. Any input would be appreciated thanks. Also I am using a kiwami 4 at 18 psi.

[@karenbasile1834]

You mixed base and mid with the clear base ?

[@geetea2220]

❤ I want a mustache ride.

[@manuelgiraldo3342]

Is the blend that you use actual blend or thats adhesive promoter ?

[@boilermaker8124]

For a beginner is it better to paint horizontal surfaces if you can or vertical? I'm talking about painting fenders and doors that have been removed and laying on saw horses vs. hanging them from the ceiling or some such. Thanks.

[@FE428Power]

There's good and bad. Laying parts horizontally, like a hood still on the car, clear will flow out better, giving a better finish. The bad, horizontal pieces are more susceptible to things(dust, bugs, etc) falling onto it.

[@Eye_4_An_Eye]

i, we, would love to see you do a raptor line job with metal flake or pearl. thats a video you have never done. hell, id even donate my car as the guinea pig.

Do you get you guns and other things on the tool truck?

Hey man, I was just curious what you think of Nason paint? I’ve heard some swear by them and others say they’ll never use them and they’re cheap. Do you have any personal experience?

Do you paint with solvent paint or water based paint?

[@BBet301]

what primer did you use, you said primered white but the link you have is to a Gray Primer spray can . please i have been keeping my self from doing this project because im still not sure if gray vs white makes a difference for my final results

[@benrios9643]

What spray gun would you recommend for spraying clear on headlights? Also do you have a preference on the brand of clear and hardner used for headlights

[@dealerhealer3673]

For diy? Or daily jobs?

[@probochronicles3991]

10:32 Can you use this technique with water base? I have a job like this, one of three pearl white jobs that came up in one week....

[@GladiadorGaming]

Hey Brian amazing video! I have a question. I have been watching your videos for over 3 years. First video I ever watched in your channel it was a review video when I started painting full time about 3 years ago. You were reviewing the dv1 clear coat gun. I wanted to buy the dv1 but in that video you were clearing with the dv1 and you hated it and switched to the ws400 to finish clearing. So my question is, what made you go back to using the dv1? I noticed in the last couple videos that you are using it. Amazing channel! Every time someone asks me where I learned to paint I tel them I went to KZbin University and my teacher was Brian from paint society 🤣

[@PaintSociety]

I can tell you have been watching a long time if you remember they video. Basically I matured as a painter and I realized that I wasn’t using the gun properly. Now I love it now that I have become better and understand paint guns better. Thanks for being a long time fan !

[@danielcogill5925]

If you do have a dry edge from base can you use thinners to melt the dry edges in if being a solvent paint system?

[@PaintSociety]

Sand it with 2000 and reapply base with 10% more reducer

[@wayneduchscherer4676]

Brian:You often make a reference to "white primer" over your body repairs and grey primer. Can I just use a "rattle can auto primer "over a small area or is it a must to go 2K white. Would still do "inter coat" over the rattle can before base white.Please advise.

[@PaintSociety]

Use 2k in a spray can. Its gray

[@mottaazzeddine3937]

Hello, can I ask you what is clear base coat can u explain because am from Morocco and your videos helps me a lots

[@algovoid]

Clear base is just a base coat without the tint (the thing that gives color ) .

[@jackkennedy9123]

Water based cleaner?

[@ervinskura9807]

Hello Im trying to paint my car bumper ,is a nissan qashqai 2018 th paint code is QAB , Pearl white ..but actually it is kind of cream white not white like in this video,,I did spray paint it and doesn't come the same colour,, don't much at all...does it affect that the primer was grey or numberof coats, im kind of confused, it gets too white and shouldn't be like that. Much appreciated your opinion Thank you

[@PaintSociety]

Needs to be remixed

[@dwilley3754]

Clear base coat is the same thing as blending additive? Also, did you sand the entire panels? Or just to where you are blending?

[@chrisbenn8691]

He mentioned in the preamble, the whole door (area being painted) had been sanded.

[@JesusPerez-vh8xo]

I know I'm watching through a phone.. But from this end.. It doesn't look different from out the factory paint... Or am I wrong?

[@mariogocars]

but what if you spray 3 coats of base + pearl. Our local paint shop sells paint already mixed with pearl. Am I getting something wrong here

[@PaintSociety]

Then it’s not a tri coat.

Which is harder to maintain and repaint... Silver, black, and white? Anyone kindly let me know.. About to get a first personal car.. And want to get a white.. And may most likely respray it sometime this year, since I'm getting used. Looking at white or silver... Kindly let me know

[@Mufasa1v1er]

Go with white

[@steveregehr8289]

Haha I gotta comment cause I've been down that conversation before as I've got 30 years autobody experience. That's a loaded question but to summarize. Any color on a car will have equal chances for dirtiness or wear. They are all top coated with clear coat. But too the eye black or white will appear dirty sooner than bold colors. Silver will probably hide flaws the best. As for refinishing. Black is best. Silvers and whites are the most complicated overall from the painters pov. It's mostly all the same process anyway, but more challenging for cleanliness and accurate color match on our end. Hope that helps

[@neodidi]

@@steveregehr8289 yep.. Alot... Got a silver vehicle.. Just did a spray on Tuesday... Haven't really seen it to note the color match as I didn't spray everywhere
