I’m NOT a professional painter! But as a former mechanic, I can say once you’ve done something for so long, you develop your own way of doing things. And I imagine in a busy body shop you learn to paint fast because you make your money off painting. Trigger keep doing you bro! Slow or fast I’m still gonna be watching and learning at the Triggerman school!

The skill level it takes to do what you're doing when you slow down and speed up all on the same clear coat application tells that you have mastered your craft. I've been painting for 25 years and have many certifications And I'll say with complete certainty that you my friend have mastered this craft and there's no one on the internet or in real life that can deny that with a straight face. Even though I don't like to see the emblems left on the vehicle I know that's something that's out of your control and has nothing to do with your skill. Very well done and an even better explanation. 👌👍

This is probably the only paint video on YT, that has demonstrated the different application speeds...... on the SAME paint job!? 🤔🤔 Trigger, fantastic video, Sir! So well explained! For me, it depends on which spray gun I'm using, alongside the environments..... if using the 4600 xtreme, it's faster.... if using the prolite, it's slower! We as painters, throughout all ranks of experience, are constantly evolving! Getting yourself out of the sh*t, when paint goes belly up, is what makes you a good/great painter! Kudos, Brother! Have a blessed day! Steve 😎 🙏

Keep it up.

[@thetriggerman954]

I know exactly what you mean. Certain guns can be adjusted to your style and some can't. Some will come close but then you'll have to change too much of your technique to justify even using the gun. But most high end guns can get you where you need to be even if it means swapping out for a bigger or smaller tip size. 💪🏼👊🏼

Semi-Pro painter here. I like to use about an 8 inch roller on the top surfaces and along the sides. Gotta keep the nap at about an 1/8 of an inch, and I'm kinda partial to the micro fiber these days, now that I've been doing it for about a year or so. You want to keep that roller moving at about 2ft/sec, and keep changing your travel up so it's going in all directions. Never in a straight line. You don't want a visible line showing up. (The customers REALLY don't like that. Trust me. 😉😲) You want to have a good 2" - 3" inch dry brush handy too for your blending areas. Use the tip of the brush bristles to dab the base and clear where you stop the roller, and kinda "melt" that into the surrounding paintwork. That's gonna give you the best blend for both the base and the clear. There you go. Now you know. 😉😁😆 😂🤣 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, brother. How you been? 🥳🥳😎

I think the speed that you paint is because u know what ur material is, u been using it everyday and also the spray guns. As long as the outcome finishes is good, speed really doesn't matter.

And I lay my first coat like I want my last to look as well. Can the church say AMEN 🙌🏼 grabber coat is that what the kids are calling it thaes days 🤣 One guy message me and said why didn't you do your glue coat. I was like what in the hell 🤔😁😂😂😂

[@ntonytay]

Also call tack coat, glue coat or grab coat. 😅 There are alot of technique nowadays and it actually makes sense to put a tack coat down on waterbase paint as it usually to prevent the metallic from shifting due to waterbase has tendency like rubberise material even its dried. While for solvent once the paint is dry and the metallic wont shift even u put on a heavy clear coat on to it

[@johnpoccia4981]

@thetriggerman954 glue coat🤣🤣🤣🤷,I lay my base wet. Also, I believe it helps with modeling and sand piling, but just my opinion and works for me ,I just struggle with tinting most of time I can adjust by looking at the formula

[@thistledewoutdoors3331]

Let me start by saying I am an Actual "Pro Painter" here in Custom and Collision........... I don't have many videos on YT because I just don't upload but,,,, Imma tell you this: You can only paint as fast as - The temperature & booth flow allows you to !!!!! I just question the primered edge since sealer wasn't used & blender applied after that..... It definitely helps with coverage when a closer color sealer or a red sealer could've been used & a wet bed of blender does indeed help prevent the "Halo effect" that metallics do when piling up and casting shadows....

[@thetriggerman954]

#1 My booth is well over 100° every day and as you see it didn't slow me down, at all. #2 I used no close color sealer and covered fine.. this color called for a light gray or while Uber color which was there, #3 no wet bed needed at all and no Halos. I'm definitely not a social Media pro painter but what I know I am is a great painter in real life. And you can bet your money on that my friend.

[@silver750iL]

I'm just starting out. In my (limited) experience, whenever I lay down the basecoat quite wet, it seems to encourage issues with slight reactions at the edge of primer etc

[@sscorpionbblade]

Hey Trigger, Watch out now, next thing they'll come up with is paint with some dark shades on and if that ain't enough, paint with roller skates on lol😂😂😂😂 As always, damn that paint looks good. 💪🏿👍🏿

Hey there trigger im an pro jack xxx and I have to have an opinion even though the speed of your hand could depend on dialing your fan in and air preasure and such tighten the fan in and you may need to go faster and possibly hold it further away or not! So just get him brother cause I think it's just what works for you works 💪

[@thetriggerman954]

Yes sir, that's what I was saying here. All of those different speeds had the same pressure, same fan, same fluid settings. Only thing changed was my distance. So it's really only technique. On this one. Thank you for chiming in 🫡

Pro painter here.. lol😂😂😂 I do lay my clear down slower than most, but i wouldn't say one way is right or wrong. I think it's harder to go slower. You will have to be more precise. For some reason, i thought it was for better transfer efficiency, but i can't say it's true or not.

Not true at all. But if that's where you are comfortable at then that's what it is.

Hey Doug thanks my man, to be completely honest with you it doesn't bother me. I simply make these videos on what's said in the comments to help new guys that are learning the trade. Once they see those type of comments all over KZbin they tend to think they are doing something wrong so I just want to let them know that there is more than one way to get great results. And not to let the way another man paints a car dictate what you do. Although in the beginning it used to frustrate me but now I know it's basically just guys that are sitting home painting electric skateboards in their garage those are the prop painters of the internet.

All depends on the tip spray pattern paint I spray paint on walls and the masters use only phat tips and spray fast then there is some masters that only use mediums then there some that use all type of tips and some that make custom tips but I’m strictly mediums and skinny’s but I wanna learn how to paint cars badly

[@thetriggerman954]

Doesn't depend on the tip. You buy a gun with a tip that suits you as a painter not the other way around. The gun is your tool. But the tool that accommodates your style of working.
