[@cooki3cutt3r13]

damn, that Scotch Brite pad idea is insane. i never thought of that super awesome.

[@dreadsguns]

Straight to the point and quick saving this

[@SprayWayCustoms]

Another great video Pharraway. This is the most important part of bodywork

[@PHARRAWAY]

Appreciated Sprayway

[@run4st717]

Red pad on DA...dang I never thought about doing that...very nice.

[@MiniFun92]

Is there a need to go from 180 to 220? I thought u just need to scuf up the clear... the hood is perfect... no leveling needed. Just use some 400 and thats enough.

[@lad63bird]

Fantastic video! I have been painting for 25 years and never did the scotch brite pad trick...Many Thanks!

[@PHARRAWAY]

You're very welcome!

Another great video Mr. Pharraway

[@Stormmaniac]

New sub! This video was the most helpful video I have come across thank you!! I am starting my car this coming Friday and needed this information..

[@PHARRAWAY]

Awesome brother Thank You welcome aboard

[@BearBudgetgarage]

Cool trick with the pad👍

[@michaelanthony279]

You are a great teacher. Thanks for

[@salimsopari]

Thank you for making this video sir

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Thanks!

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Really enjoyed your video Pharraway I found it really useful and informative, I've never tried the scotch pads on the DA so I'll give it a go will using that help stop cut throughs on the panel edges as that is something I often have problems with. One other thing why do I get pigtails when using the DA? sometimes they appear a few seconds after using a new disc. Thanks Pharraway and I've left you a little something for your time👌👏🙏👍 John UK.

[@PHARRAWAY]

@@JohnWD40TC02 first Thank You brother and about the fishtail ya, try using a different brand of sandpaper I have the same problem with cheap sandpaper but what you can do is with a scotch pad pass the sandpaper through it and it will remove the pigtails quick so you can continue sanding.

[@JohnWD40TC02]

You are more than welcome it's not much but every little helps👍I've tried the 3M purple, Mirka autonet, Kovax and a cheaper one called Starcke all with varying amounts of success but I'll try cleaning the discs with the scotch pad. I'm a bit heavy handed so maybe I'm putting to much force on the DA, I use the Mirka 150mm Deros electric with dust extraction, thanks for the help🙏👍

[@PHARRAWAY]

@@JohnWD40TC02 yes that will work

[@husky1239]

Great tutorial very informative farraway thank you for the video

Awesome video. Thanks ✌🏻🤘🏾✊🏿

[@a1fixitguy309]

I had round swirl marks in mine...I used 80 grit

[@Annon.yamous]

Thanks brother you explained it so clearly happy new year 2025 Godbess you too

[@evo6swap]

More please awesome work

[@randypoirier3531]

Hi Pharraway if you are going to paint base with metallics can you go to 600grit from 320 grit and skip 400 grit for final sanding? (no sealer)

[@jeffthompson4099]

You the man! Thanks

[@medamit]

Can I just scuff and shoot a plastic bumper cover with new base coat and clear? The bumper has the factory finish which is in good shape. Thanks for your informative videos. Very helpful.

[@PHARRAWAY]

@@medamit yes you can

[@medamit]

@@PHARRAWAY Thanks for the reply. Your videos are very helpful.

[@PHARRAWAY]

@@medamit anytime brother

[@medamit]

@@PHARRAWAY I scuffed the clearcoat on the bumper cover with 800 grit and a flexible block. I was careful not to sand through to the plastic anywhere. I have the Endozer HVLP with the 3 nozzles. I have a pint of reduced paint (from the auto paint store) and they sold me some clearcoat that is in rattle cans and has the catalyst in it. Do I need to put primer down or can I just wash it and paint it? Also, what nozzle size should I use for the metallic paint?

[@ismaelcarrillo3956]

You don't need to go all the way to 180 grit for a factory 1 layer paint. Leave that to thicker coats.

[@moneymadeproductionz6426]

hey great work boss but do i have to follow the steps or can i just sand with 400 then throw sealer

[@PHARRAWAY]

I recommend you to at least start with 320 and then 400 and you will be good

[@davegunner2717]

Thank you 🙏

[@ktru4474]

What kind of wax and grease do you recommend? Also what sealer to use...plz reply. The sand machine... which one to buy and how much horsepower do you need... thanks

[@evo6swap]

Thank you

[@rachelcook5697]

God Bless You guys too!!! God needs to help me restore this 81 Toyota truck. I could send pic but I don't think this phone will

[@philipmaciata6395]

Hey pharraway, in a previous video (predating this one) you painted a traverse that was in really good condition and I believe you started with 400 and went up to 600 wet. I realize this video is newer, would you recommend starting at 220 now even if the paint is mint? Thanks in advance man! Love the videos

[@PHARRAWAY]

@philipmaciata6395 if the paint is mint you can start wi5h 320 and work your way up to 600

[@philipmaciata6395]

Thank you for the response bro! Take care

[@OxNefu]

great advice thank you for the video

[@jrjias4375]

Good job

[@bonkerz4371]

where’d you get the interface pad?

[@rachelcook5697]

Mines an 81 Toyota truck. Some rust . What do I use to fill that in. Then sand it all for painting. 😁I only paid 600. For the truck They quoted me 2500..just for top roof..yh right..please send me list of what to get. I'm a female granny auto detailer and I need my truck looking way better for summer earning 👍

[@MiniFun92]

ok if there is orange peal u do need to smoothen it.

[@vegetass200]

So if I wanted to re color my si I would start at 180 then go up?

[@prometheus6853]

I was told you can just use 180 enough to break down the clearcoat and enough to where the new paint can go on top. Is that true or false?

[@PHARRAWAY]

False

[@randy1ization]

I sanded my basecoat with 1000 to smooth it out,, what grit should I use to prep the basecoat before clear coat/ thanks

[@yahoo37]

Im painting my hood from silver to white,do i have to apply sealer

[@ttxela]

Thanks, a useful guide, do you ever use the grey Scotchbrite?

[@PHARRAWAY]

yes but mostly maroon

[@edismacic6654]

greetings, is it possible after 320 priming with 600 water-blasting

[@PHARRAWAY]

yes

[@edismacic6654]

@@PHARRAWAY okay thank you

[@toyotatundra0455]

Which 3M double sided tape you recommend for attaching molding? I need to fix the upper edge of the passenger door in Lexus IS250. Thanks.

[@PHARRAWAY]

Any 3m tape works

[@Enjoytheinbetween]

Thank you so much!!! If I want to put another coat of clear on a 1 year old paint job what sand paper would you recommend? 600 wet? I used ppg 2 stage, just practicing.

[@PHARRAWAY]

you are correct

[@Enjoytheinbetween]

@@PHARRAWAY thanks!! Great tip using the maroon pad, you are amazing!!

[@chriscobalt1782]

After the 400grit is first the primer before the paint right?

[@PHARRAWAY]

That is correct

[@angelmorales220]

Nice 👍.

[@jameschuke4104]

Why sealer

[@Horrorfanatic2024]

thank you for this video it was very helpful! do you always start at 180 grit when sanding your first coat off? and then work your way up to 400?

[@ilc-nl3yy]

This is the most informative video I've seen for what I need to do on my car! The body of my car is in perfect condition, but we want a color change. Do I do the same method by hand when doing the jambs and the areas where the sander can't get? Is there a small air compressor attachment to do the jambs and other tough areas?

[@PHARRAWAY]

I do them by hand

[@chesterbuena6322]

Hey homie can I connect with you for some rust remedy advise with sanding and then painting over it?

[@PHARRAWAY]

Yes you can send me an email at [e-mail]

[@damesixtyate]

Do you have to apply sealer if you're spraying over existing paint?

[@PHARRAWAY]

If your doing bodywork yes if your just sanding with no panels in a different color no you can spray over your existing paint.

[@georgelouis6515]

I thought you used 60 grit to get the paint off then used 120 or 180 to sand the filler then used 220 to sand the primer then use 400 to sand the primer and paint before the clear coat. Sand paper is so confusing.
