Car Painting: Painting WHITE PEARL for DUMMIES!

[@JoseMorales-tn5jf]

Very nice Job. I own my own shop and I still paint. I've been doing it for over 25 years. I always love to learn from other painters with the same love and passion. Thanks fo sharing.

[@PaintSociety]

Some youtubers create channels with no substance...just for views. You guys are different, u are sharing your knowledge, expertise & passion in an honest, transparent and direct manner, For that I salute you, appreciate it and thank you!

[@dwalmop2]

I know this is an old video, but I resprayed a front bumper cover on my 30 year old pearl white Audi a few years ago. I did all the right things, did some test cards w/different amounts of pearl to get a good match and all. Got something I was happy with, went to spray the bumper, and it came out so obviously different than the rest of the car. I was mad, but I decided to live with it and it's still like that to this day. Someday maybe I'll respray the entire car (probably not, haha).

Ive been working as a paint technician in Toyota KSA and autopaint champion once in a skill contest but now already retired,,thank you for your videos its help me a lot to refresh my skills as an auto painter, you are my idol sir😊👍

I am getting ready to do my first job on my car, the entire car. I AM A "DO IT YOURSELFER" as you stated in this vedeo. I agree with you that thus type of audience will keep your channel alive. I am learning a lot! Keep it up!

[@PaintSociety]

Thank you. I am trying to satisfy everyone with making appropriate level videos but from a growth perspective my videos need to be more toward the diy guy

[@JimBic72]

New subscriber here. When I seen Brian didn’t use Christmas wrap to protect the car from overspray, I knew he was the real deal! 🤣. I’m an auto technician but have always been fascinated by vehicle painting, this give me my fix, glad I found you!

I agree with you Jim. This is the most informative channel about all auto painting topics or possible that I have ever found! Brian has an amazing ability to teach that is a true gift few people posses. Thank you Brian for all the work and research that you do, I certainly appreciate all of your videos!!

[@Sumkindawonderful]

Most important on pearl white is making the halo dissapear.i get coverage with my base than mix base and pearl about 4 to 1. 4 being the pearl and 1 the base than blend it out till theirs no halo.havent had this method fail yet.great videos by the way!!

[@PaintSociety]

Great method. I use that in trouble pearls on a much larger area like a door. I go 1:1 such a great trick! Thanks for your view!

Thanks Ed!

[@darylw792]

Thank you for a video on painting with pearl paints. While I use an airbrush for models this video is very helpful. I have been painting the model I have been working on a pearl white, but it has come out in a silver like color in many areas. Now I understand that a white base coat is needed first than the pearl coat.

[@PaintSociety]

I’m glad that you were able To use automotive painting on your model cars, in the end they aren’t really too much different.

[@waleedayyad4392]

Great work,but I would prefer that make a mix of the base and pearl,20% base and 80% pearl ,then blend ,and after that make the pearl coat,this much better and you will not notice the the blend area,because after 2 coats of pearl,I still notice the blend area👍🏻

[@dilshadhasan6193]

Thanks for that information, ❤

[@1oldteck]

Well this is a true do-it-yourselfer video and I appreciate it since I am a do-it-yourselfer ...

[@creaky2436]

The more i watch your channel, the least it makes me want to paint. I want it done perfectly, and it's not worth the investment of buying the best guns and mastering the tricks of the trade. I'll align everything with my new parts, and hand it off to the pros locally for sure. At least i can pick their brain to make sure they are taking all of these steps! :)

I'm painting a car for the first time and I decided on Pearl white. I've seen all your videos and have the utmost respect for your work. I've tried to gather all the materials necessary for me to complete the job, although I find it difficult to obtain a full list just the fluids (primer, sealer, paint, etc) that I'll need. So... I have a favor to ask... Is it possible for you to give me and all those in my situation, a list of your recommended fluids from prep to finish. I trust your knowledge and hope it's not too much to ask. Thank you and look forward to more videos! Take care and God bless

Hey Scott did you ever get that list? And if so do you mind sharing. Thanks

Also, any other advice from anyone else would be greatly appreciated!! It’s my 1st time doing body work and I really want to cover all of my bases before laying paint down. Thanks again!

Gorgeous work, but EYE PROTECTION should be worn while spraying! Also, I would recommend a moving quilt or other padding be used under front of vehicle, when remounting bumper cover. I'd hate to see great paint work accidentally damaged if the cover came in contact with the concrete!

[@MrBsheers2003]

want to re-do, refresh a set of 2001 Audi wheels, with same Avus Silver Pearl (code: LY7J/C2) color. Supplier says this is not a Tri-part application, which I guess means their spray can Pearl is included in the base silver. Current wheel paint damaged from age and chemical cleaning abuse. Some small sections even down to the primer. No room to blend. Have a trunk-spare wheel in untouched condition as a comparative model. Has amazing depth and Pearl affect. Need a planned approach for this project to succeed. Suggestions much, much appreciated.

[@umbertoyltp]

To me you are the king of pearl white repairs! I know how hard it is to get the right colour. Right now i have a 1984 Suzuki Katana Popup, which has unfortunately three different shades pearl white. The easy way is to pick one colour and spray all parts equally. How should I proceed from one original part and deternine colour from that? Are the pearls going to interfere with a colour scanner? Will I need to blend anyway to match the original part? Next project is the gold parts, I'm already sweating in my sleep to get that right. ;-)

[@josenieves7185]

[@billkelly909]

Beautiful job as always! This is a paint video for dummies though, of which I admit to being (with painting). What did you spray on the bumper from an aerosol can and why? Thanks

[@billbliss2500]

Great video , again😂, Brian, I am going to be starting to paint my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 club cab, It’s a maroon color and I already did my hood by following your advise and it came out fabulous! Now I ‘m going to start with top cab top. Is there anyway I can send you a picture of it and have you tell me the different steps? Example might be, in one video you used a roller to put on a base to cover up any bare spots, The top is in bad shape and I’m not sure how far it needs to be taken down. The hood I got from the pick and Pull was in pretty good shape meaning not all the clear coat was gone but I did remove it all and did a primer over all of it then sanded it down and then tack and base coat then 2 layers of clear coat. So, another question might be, When is a Pearl used?

[@hamedh7256]

Hi Brian, let me first thank you for all your efforts. Your videos are all very informative. I am a designer engineer and DIYer and I really enjoy the details level in your videos. I am learning to get ready for spraying quarter panel on my car. It’s a black pearl Jaguar and I live in the UK. You mentioned in the video that pearl is translucent but when I search for my car paint code (PEL), they all results are black paints with pearl particles. Does it mean I need more coats or I need the same paint with and without pearls? I am also struggling to find a clear basecoat. Any idea about other keywords? My last question is that for a black pearl, do I need to blend or it’s not necessary for darker colours? Many thanks

[@TheBrb1208]

Great looking finish. Can you apply the same process to plastic?

[@haenszel]

Hey there. I have a car that was supposed to be painted this Eminent White Pearl Lexus color, but did not turn out quite the right pearl effect.

I have a GS Lexus with the gold color pearl . As far as I know, it's never been in accident. Why would all four doors be the same color as each other but slightly different than the panels ? Surely they wouldn't mess that up in factory right ? It's quite noticable in direct sunlight, kind of annoying if i think about it too much lol.

Hy Brian! Awesome channel! I wish as a DIY guy I have that painting System to correct the mixed paint color... It would be nice to buy some base colors to make it match better. Should be a DIY mini kit for that! Keep it up mate! Cheers from Hungary

[@PaintSociety]

I remember those days in depending on the paint shop to match your color. It can be tough.

[@wildimpo]

In matching pearl I'm at the mercy of the people who mix the paint, so they usually mix the base to dark which makes it impossible to match, so I get a bit of brightener make it slightly lighter then when adding my pearl I can tint it perfect panel to panel painting
