Are there cheap alternatives? Can brake fluid be viable?

[@kurtvanluven9351]

I purchased a pickup that previous owner had spray painted over the factory paint (no prep). How can I remove only the paint they added??? The factory paint is good.

[@rickwatkins1389]

Great video. I would like to give you a word of caution when using a paint stripper like this. I am a retired Air Force aircraft painter with 40 years experience. I'm sure this product is not as strong as the stuff we use, but the fumes can be very dangerous. Please do not use the type of mask filters the guy is wearing in the video. Those are made for heavy particulates and or dust, not vapors and fumes. Those type off ilters will do nothing to stop the vapors from that paint stripper. If anything they will concentrate the fumes more inside the mask. When using this stuff, be sure to use an organic vapor and mist rated filter on your respirator. Check the instructions on the different types, but I believe the ones needed are the pink and black style or the pink and yellow 3M style cartridges for that type of mask. The proper cartridges have a charcoal layer inside the cartridge and a prefilter that helps stop the fumes and vapors. A full face would be better for eye protection. Be safe out there everyone.

[@aaronbuildsa]

My toxic trait is watching videos like this and thinking "He makes it look and sound so easy, I should try it!" without thinking about the 20 years of experience that went into making it look easy.. Who's with me? 🤣

[@PaintSociety]

Do it!!! And i only have 7 years professionally experienced haha

[@aaronbuildsa]

@@PaintSociety 7 or 20, you still make it look very easy! It is a skill I'd love to pick up though :)

same here bro, it all looked too easy 😅

[@AtlantaBoxing]

You sound like a soccer mom. "My toxic trait is" 😂

[@johnny.d.1930]

​@@PaintSociety Have you tried this product on powder coating?

[@russdavis1960]

A couple of decades ago I had to strip a hood which was painted multiple times by a so called professional. It has so many layers of paint it actually looked like a cheap fiberglass hood. I used the same process shown using plastic sheeting to capture the active ingredients while is worked. The hood was stripped clean and primed, painted, cleared. The shop manager was happy and more importantly, the customer was happy.

[@Chris-sj7sg]

I work in a shop, we recently stripped a set of wheels with this same product. To say it works great, even on powder coating it takes a bit longer. Just don't let it dry out, the slag paint becomes harder than it was. Great stripper. Wear eye protection,gloves, and probably outside.

[@endurofan9854]

thank's for the tip 👌

[@harshadchari6065]

Did you use 2k epoxy on the alloy wheels after stripping ? Or something else?

[@Chris-sj7sg]

@@harshadchari6065 We coated the wheels with self etching primer, then urethane primer. Before urethane base and clear coat. Hopefully it holds up for many years. IDK it was the shop owners call on the material used.

[@wallebo]

All killer, no filler. Very impressive because I know that it is a lot of work to make it look easy.

[@EmmAyeVee]

Just what I needed to see to inspire me to finally strip and paint the hood of my Tahoe. Except its not a project, it's my daily. 😅 and I have always appreciated how the steps and explanations are geared towards those who are predominately do-it-yourselfers.

[@leeclement7716]

I love this channel, I always learn something. Brian is a great teacher, he's clear, doesn't repeat himself over and over, he gets right to the point no endless backstories, and no uhs or ums. Really wish I saw this before I painted my truck black. I'd love to see a video on buffing too.

[@stco2426]

Lovely. Prepping for a project and trying to learn ahead of the work. This was certainly above my pay grade but beautiful results. Most chemical paint removers I've seen or used can't fight their way out of a paper bag because of healthandsafety but great tip to cover. As ever, loads of great help here. Many thanks!

Bro you make magnificent videos. You are a teacher at heart. Thank you for your vids.

[@3rekoatskustoms929]

Great video, I too use that paint stripper but when I covered with plastic, it didn't pill as easy as it did for you, I had better results without. And I have better results in my paint jobs when I do a 50-50 or 75 overlap. Thanks for what you do.

[@cliffharrington6500]

Thanks Paint Society, this was a very good description of the process and steps to take for a great paint job.

[@gutshotgriz3936]

Awesome Tutorial! Thanks for sharing!

[@user-cp8hp9gp7p]

Thanks Brian! Have you ever tried Coopers Strip Club products made in New Zealand? I’m restoring a Jaguar E-type coupe, I used their system and it was terrific - I stripped the entire car to bare metal. You spray it on with just a pump sprayer, let it sit for a bit then take the paint off with steel wool and a metal blade. Nearly no oder, a lot less messy and easy clean up!

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

I agree …. Check out diy auto school my friend Pete !!!he highlighted the product and he is real world and knows his stuff

[@robbieraychannel]

Thank's , I'm going to do this to my OBS 95 F 150. The hood has small crack's in the paint that I think go all the way down to the base metal. I was dreading having to sand it all the way down. Love your channel I've learned so much from you. Rob......

[@glennnickerson8438]

Klean Strip used to have a dry process paint stripper back in the day. It would go on wet, wrinkle and dry. You could then run a razor blade over it down to bare metal. Stripped my 65 Pontiac with one gallon!

[@JohnChuprun]

Great instructional video, well done. I'm surprised that stripper did so well, normally that new stuff does nothing even though I do the cling wrap step as well.

[@kingsix3134]

Eastwood contour sct tool will definitely get the job done

[@HackMasterBlaster]

The system I use has a 2k etch primer you can put in the gun. I strip the paint to bare metal, sand up to 320 on a da, etch (2 coats), seal, base, clear. Works great.

[@jimzivny1554]

Lots of good information, thanks for sharing

[@freddaniali]

Great video Brian! That stuff work as well as it used to, especially on catalyzed or baked enamels. I think that they may have removed some of the caustic chemicals for environmental reasons.

I’m not a painter nor a spray painter but I pickup a lot of different skills by watching KZbin videos and I’m pretty good at it I did some bodywork on my 2006 Dodge Dakota truck V8 SLT and it came out pretty good for a beginner watching your videos I think I’ma paint it my self I mean what’s the worst that could happen right practice makes improvement

[@Ksozzay]

Brian, I truly enjoy your channel and have learned a ton from you. I am a DIYer and into old 50-60’s cars. I am just starting a project of stripping the metal for rust repairs and body work. I would appreciate if you could give me your opinion on using “Klean Strip- Concrete & Metal Prep” on the bare metal after I get it stripped before It gets the epoxy primer? Are there any watch outs or other prep process that would be required if using that Metal Prep? Thanks!

Excellent commentary 👍

Hi Brian thanks for the video! This actually motivated me to re-try painting my hood that I messed up the first time! Do you have any recommendations on a inexpensive gun that can deliver similar results to yours in this video? Also I think about enclosing a part of my workshop with plastic and plywood wood to make a "dust free" room and using to square fans with house filters one pulling and one pushing. Do you think this is a good idea for a diy spray boot? Any advice are welcome and thanks again for this amazing video! From 🇨🇦

Hi, great videos, have subscribed for a while and learnt alot. I was wondering if you could do a video on rust proof painting new car parts, found lots of info on treating rusted parts but not much out there on rust proofing new parts like subframe. Many thanks

[@adiadrian1758]

Awesome job, product and especialy trainer !!!! Bravo 👏👏👏

[@1873Winchester]

In Finland we got these 2k paints cans that mix as you use the spray by Maston. Unfortunately the ones I've bought have never worked properly.... I haven't read a single good review of these cans except for one guy in germany who used it and said it worked fine. But it's apparently a thing and I wished more companies would try that. I'd really like some long lasting 2k in a rattle can for small fixes.

[@chapi199]

[@lrlforfun]

Looks really nice. How would it look color sanded with the Linear Blocking System??? I'm a professional detailer and I'm looking to pull the trigger on that. Also, how long before the paint gasses off before color sanding? Thanks for a great presentation!

[@kevincharles112]

Great video and exactly what I needed. You started to answer the question I had, but really didn't. Where in this process would you do the bondo? Bare metal or after epoxy? I have no history with epoxy so would like to do it the best way. Thanks so much for doing these !!

[@PaintSociety]

Epoxy it. Filler over epoxy. Then 2k urethane surfacer primer

[@Dstromb232]

Nice job.

[@Casey2]

I haven’t used that stuff in a while but I think it says to neutralize the acid with water afterwards, and I don’t have a problem with etch priming the whole panel, seal, base,clear in same day. I don’t use sealer and epoxy together

[@RestoHubAU]

I thought it would have had to be neutralized also, but don't have experience with that product. Strippers I use all need to be neutralized.

I found a down draft paint booth will help tons.

[@sinformant]

Idk this newer aircraft stripper doesnt work like it used to. I remember ooening the can to use it and any painted surface in a 20ft radius paint was curling and falling off just from the fumes that wofted around. I used the new stuff on my motorcycle to strip the paint. Even covered in plastic sheeting it didnt do anything at all.

[@gailcoe50]

Hello Brian, really liked you video. Looking for a good method for stripping and repainting Singer Featherweight sewing machines. Will the 'Aircraft Paint Remover' work with an aluminum frame machine or will it be to harsh a product?

[@bessem4164]

Hey mr brian Do i need to prime in the same day that i sand the car or its normal to sanding and preparing the surface than prime it after few days ??

[@dxrcat]

I was wondering what brand of paint can mixer and pourer you use for your one gallon paint cans. Thanks

[@tslaton]

Hey Brian, I recently clear coated a part using the extra slow reducer. The temperature was around 70 degrees in the shop, the clear coat laid down perfectly, and looked great until about 2 hours later it began to sag very slightly in one area. No big deal, I can get it out, but Im just curious as to why this may have happened, was it due to the usage of the extra slow reducer when the temperature was not very hot? Obviously laying it down heavy on the final coat likely contributed, but would using a slightly lower temp reducer help to prevent this?

[@EnlightenedSavage]

This is probably an oem hood. You see this is alot in some models during some runs. They don't usually issue recalls for paint and if there are problems with the paint prep during manufacture it is not dealt with unless forced.

[@aamerelhouli7125]

Hi just a question what’s the best cleaning product for bare metal that gives me a day or 2 window before I lay down epoxy primer what cleans the residue of the paint stripper completely

[@IndoMaN1]

Thank you Sir for sharing skill and knowledge of this skilled work its very helpful. You are a master. More prosperity to you in ur work. Thanks.👍🏻👑👍🏻

[@eggsaroni]

i am in the process of restoring a 1968 dodge charger and the paint is chipped and gone to hell, it has to be taken off. would you recommend sanding it off or using a liquid remover? i am a complete beginner and have no experience, so a walkthrough on what to do and products to use would be much appreciated

[@Swenser]

Bugger the sealer and base coat. Clear over the cool grey matte. Done

[@ace7912]

you should make a video about how to find a good local paint shop.. can't be as simple as judging them based on price right? probably wanna ask them some questions about their process?

[@leroijr407]

After doing this epoxy primer, can I allow water or rain to hit it and paint it after let's say one or two weeks?

[@karinamarshall513]

I would use the citrus stripper with plastic over it to prevent drying. Leave overnight then pressure wash off followed by air drying with a leaf blower and air gun for the small details. Way less toxic than the heavy duty strippers.

[@chutasan8299]

Brake fluid works wonders when stripping paint.

[@lizardking8388]

I got a question. Is mixing old paint with new a good idea? For instance, let's say you did a job with a specific paint code and years later, you have to do another job with that same paint code, but you don't have enough to do the whole job. You order more. Would it be a good idea to mix the new with the old?

[@tc1398]

Does the aircraft paint remover works on bumper as well since that is plastic?

[@delbertgrubb1341]

[@shona5512]

My MK2 GTI has needed a respray due to clear coat bubbling all over and ive been putting off the job of sanding it for ages. Paint stripper seems to be the move

[@andygold]

Any thoughts on what might take off products such as DuraCoat and Cerakote? I have a slide for a pistol that i believe is DuraCoated, and Jasco paint stripper did absolutely nothing.

[@dmcmahon999]

What undercoat would you use for an old car trailer resurface please.

[@reidarbrenden5704]

I like you`re content :). Please use propper ppe, that first mask you used with the stripper is no good for those chemicals. you should use the same filters as you used in the spray booth. Take care!

[@PaintSociety]

Yes. Sorry. Was waiting on my mask order to arrive from jobber

[@Anthony-to7cp]

​@@PaintSocietyFull face respirator ! Get one!

[@user-xd7zr5zy8k]

success depends on the paint being removed, obviously very easy on this example but that's not typical as usually end up requiring multiple attempts. In hard to reach areas it's fine but otherwise it's easier to use a stripping disc. Old paint strippers used methylene chloride, some other solvents, thickeners to keep it running off vertical surfaces and wax to reduce evaporation. How do I know, I was chemist at an industrial chemical company and we made it for various companies

[@scottyee707]

what do you guys do with all your extra paint? Do you just know how much to mix up from experience?

[@cd5781]

Would this work on a repair to a fender that has an 8x12in scratch- already half of it is scratched down to bare metal? Thx!

[@Reed688]

Brian, I'm sure you know already but it is advisable to wear your vapour respirator rather than the pancake particulate filters as they don't help against the paint stripper.

[@vector006]

First thing I noticed... People really need to understand what the different filters are for

[@martymcfly3986]

oh the youtube police

[@Anthony-to7cp]

The magenta filters are for sanding!! Organic vapor filters should have been used .​@@vector006

[@bushpilot1520]

I am a little confused whats the difference between a sealer and an epoxy primer, primer is meant to protect the metal from rust then what purpose does the sealer serve

[@joosten1977-wz2zj]

its a great tool to use, but it does can create alot of chemical mess, and what about damage of the inside hood, or damage the shop floor dripping. so it can cause alot of problems. also wenn you have to repeat the work, wenn it wont come off at once.... nice video tho!!!
