[@lousasslejr.4690]

with the weather getting warmer and alot of us painting in garages, would love to see more at home videos!

[@gtplumbing2004]

Watching these cars come back to life after you paint them is awesome. They always look awesome.

[@ernestdouglas8489]

Brian, you are an amazing teacher. I have been watching your videos for a while and I have learned so much. I was able to paint my wife's silver rav4. You rock man.

[@GeorgiaLSCrew]

I think he IS a teacher for a profession!

[@shairafzalkhan3106]

I thought you are saying "I was able to paint my wife" 😂

[@anthonyhaber4169]

Thank you so much for your videos, I have learnt so much from them. I have been a panel beater for 30 years and now thanks to you guys I can say i’m a very capable painter too! Thank you

[@dazzamac70]

Wow, I wish I knew this before I attempted to fix the roof of my Bimmer (Titanium Silver), yes the metallic particles highlight everything, including sanding scratches and the finest imperfections where the primer meets the paint!!!

Love the noise canceling version....As always great tips and content Brian... Don't overthink it's just Paint

[@PaintSociety]

Glad you like. It sounds a bit weird to me but if you like it I will do it more !

[@DavidHernandez-my9zw]

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

[@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937]

The primer sealer and color blender combo is next level man . I don't see alot of pros doing this AMAZING !!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@PaintSociety]

Yes I am going to be listing the speedokote color blender on amazon as its the only one available online

Would tamco hc895 intercoat clear be the same thing? Says it can be used as wetbed?

Only reason asking was because I have leftover 895 from using as pearl carrier, but yes, I need to save money on materials!!!!

First real comment. Thanks for the info, Brian. Noise canceling audio sounded great.

[@PaintSociety]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ExFilHobbies]

Great nstructions on primer vs sealer. I have been interested in this and it is very clear the difference 👍

[@zenzondlovu1656]

Its looking really good Brian!

[@novabig]

Another great video Brian. Had I had an instructor like you I would have probably had a different career. Great instructor!

[@PaintSociety]

Wow, thanks!

[@SmooveBee1]

Serious Knowledge and Skills!

[@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.

[@curtishoward5584]

My favorites base blender is nothing more than the binder they put in base. The white milky stuff. Works awesome ! I use it anytime on tricky colors like Metallics & that sort.

[@zenzondlovu1656]

Thanks Brian.From South Africa.

Great tip on applying the clear base directly after the sealer. definitely going to give this a go on tomorrow's job.

[@PaintSociety]

Good luck!

[@gordikcarro5247]

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?

[@WJHandyDad]

great results as always. I'm so thankful I found you and Mario's channels. Helped me a ton!

I am then going to block sand from 150,to120to220to 400 ,my question is should i seal now or can i just spray paint ,im looking at a metallic. Burgendy ,also what can i spray before the base to give the Burgendy matellac a pop ,thanks for the help ,your viedos are always helpfull

That came out perfect 🍻🍻

[@pablogarciavasquez6637]

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

[@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 .

[@larrywhitesell4139]

Great instruction. Thank you!

[@a666n]

Brian, you are an amazing teacher. I would like to ask, can you apply the same methods of waterborne to solvent or is there a big difference in application and or technique?

[@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? Followup ?: Why not use the clear base at the edges of your base color coat? I believe ive seen you do that in previous videos in order to create a wet bed so the flakes have a more even spread. Why not on this one? One more question: My local paint supplier has the same products and to an extent i think theyre great. But on a few occasions ive had to touch up an area for one reason or another and the paint completely lifted after the second paint job. I was told its because the first job wasnt fully cured and the solvents gassing caused the lift. Have you ever had this happen? Is it the reducer in the paint? Is the something in the clear? To be honest im about to switch to ppg cause i never had that issue before. Love your videos by the way.

[@3n1fss]

Another fantastic job, Brian!

[@Working-man-p9j]

Brian I used Eastwood Epoxy prime as a sealer is it normal for it to be soft. I can topcoat it when soft.

[@jgneolardo8875]

This dude is dialed the phuck in! 💪🏽

[@jimprovax6846]

Hi Brian. Great explanation. Silver can be a tough one. The job came out sweet. Looked to be smokin hot in the booth. Time for a beverage. Enjoy your weekend with your beautiful family.

[@PaintSociety]

One of the hottest weeks in florida. 3 shirts changes in one night. As always thanks for the positive comments. Cant wait to spend time with my boys 😀

[@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.

[@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.

[@nottingham_ChrisAllison]

Fantastic work

[@kseries20-24only]

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

[@kingshane33k78]

I have a few questions but it’s about clear coat.

[@mingthemerciless6855]

Brian, great results.

[@PaintSociety]

Glad you think so!

[@tonylewis4661]

So here is my project. MIL 2004 Toyota with failed clear coat on top and trunk. Planning to take down to base metal then primer/sealer. However, majority of primers are gray, and color is dark red metallic. Will use of gray primer require more basecoat paint? Can you get red primer with sealer? No scratches, body work or Bondo. Not seeking perfection but do want it to be in good shape for next 3+ years

[@brettbresnan7078]

Yet another informative video. Thanks soooo much

[@darylgoodgame7292]

Hey Brian, love the channel and the informative content you give us. Question: I'm doing a full bare metal resto, can I apply etch primer then body filler and finish with epoxy primer?? What should be the best sequence? Thanks, Daryl

[@markanthonylaureano9665]

Can you show how to paint a Matt color like gray, or black ? Thank you for teaching I love these videos and I’m learning again thanks

[@fslade4444]

I sprayed sealer and had to stop now the sealer is cured 1week later can i base over cured sealer?black sealer black base.maybe lightly scuff sealer 1st?

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

Absolutely insane 🤩

[@chromecatfishcharters8765]

Am I the only one that confused about the products used? Are you making a sealer out of paint itself buy just adding sealer harder and activator? Oris the sealant actually a sealant then you add the sealer activator and hardner?

[@Damados73]

Yes the “paint” is what he called “color,” ant the total mixing ratio is 3 parts color, one part hardener and one part activator. There are two different hardener/activator formulas; one formula makes a thicker (and sandable) primer, while the other formula make a thinner (not sandable) sealer.

[@joepersad219]

Hello Brian can you tell me if the ws400 you use for clear is a 1.2 or 1.3? I am trying to decide on which tip size to buy my gun with. I use a stajet 4000 with a 1.2 and like it much better than the 1.3 however if the 400 atomizes so much better should i just stick to the more common 1.3 tip? thanks in advance!!

[@TehArtfulDodger]

[@Ali-p5p1e]

Hey Brian can I use sealant over large areas of body filler?

[@BrokeVetGarage]

That bumper is pretty shiny 😳

[@jimb5341]

Great informative video! Question a bit off topic but what cartridge do you use in you mask please 👍

[@allnoyz1414]

Very nice. Better than factory.

[@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?

[@pcdetail602]

I'm a little confused what's in the cup ? Is it only the stuff from the can ?

[@jrlichina]

If I have a solid color with a spot primed area can I just hit the primed area with clear base as opposed to using sealer, then base then clear?

[@rtcar6990]

Is clear base just regular clear coat you intend to spray over or is clear base some different product to buy ??? And noise cancelling is good.

[@RyanMenke-uo5ee]

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?

[@adamdeaguero2903]

Good job, but you should show how to clean with wax and grease remover before touching your guns, and maybe show tacking after you spray your sealer especially for a blend job for the novice painter.

[@shanepowers7566]

When in doubt, use sealer.

[@xreddishx7049]

Do you recommend sealer on a car with polyester primer?

[@Automonium]

I like the noise canceling

[@MartinMora92]

I have the imperial mixing bank by Akzo, which do u use as a clear base? The Binder??

[@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

[@HPAcustomriflesandcerakote]

[@jimmyquijano2647]

Amazing job

[@jasonevans6720]

Nice one Brian, how does this compare using water based base

[@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]

[@eliflores8805]

Can you seal the car and leave it a few days to cure or do you have paint same day? If you can leave it a few days to cure should you sand before base?
