Quick Transformation: Two-Coat Rally Yellow Paint Job for a Speedy Rally Car Makeover

[@rickworthington3062]

The gun man did a great job, his consistency and skill is evident.

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

I like how he picks up his wet edges as he moves around the car ..... inspiring me to paint my car myself

[@majesticvillasphuket.7190]

I painted loads of cars in the 70's and 80's , and we only had enamel single stage with thinners no harder back then . Two coats and they would look like glass, no wet sanding or all that buffing , they do today . A better finish and lasted longer . This clear coat these days can't take the sun , you see cars only a few years old with the clear coat peeling . The good old days , the paint was far better and a fast job.

[@MrClarkisgod]

Yeah, but didn't they change the paints because they were awful for the environment or something like that? Same thing with the dyes they used to use on automotive interiors were very color fast and sturdy but caused every kind of cancer imaginable.

[@coyotterestoration1754]

I here ya painted plenty of single stage back in the day, plenty of depth not like the junk sprayed today with no shine or depth.

[@apg9345]

Paint is better today as it is urethane based,I will say it is a lot more expensive so you tend to see cars that have been painted having problems from someone using cheap material or trying to shortcut the job.I know when newer cars are painted in the factory they do not put enough material on one either which also leads to color problems for the shop repairing the vehicle.

[@johnnyshd8250]

With the high metallics, and tri coats, it would be next to impossible to spray the new colors and duplicate the depth with single stage.

[@dunlapmichaell]

Thanks for posting this! I'm spraying a VW Beetle with single stage paint and this video reinforced my thinking.

[@Refinishnetwork]

Good luck 🤞

[@imtheonevanhalen1557]

With ANY paint job, keep it out of the sun as much as possible......fantastic result out of the gun!!!

[@cmarshall4559]

Great video. UNO is an excellent product.single stage is the way to go on solid colors.

[@codyfeatherstone731]

Thank you for the video I couldn’t remember exactly how the clear worked

[@joselobato2632]

I painted few dodge and peugeots on single stage. White and black. Using paint made in mex, it works awesome and has the same life as a clear coat. (5 years on acrílic single stage and médium quality clear). On the poliurethane single stage, it has 8-10 years of life. Both are for low cost but has very great results and quality. Even I've been sprying pearled red, greys, greens, silvers on single stage on chevys and volkswagens 😁

[@carlosferias7775]

Excelente trabajo. Gracias por enseñarnos

This is awesome! I'm about to paint our 96 Impreza in single stage white. It will be used our recce car for rally in the US.

[@skodakatie7341]

It looks really good for single stage paint!.

[@sll-tt6bj]

Nice single stage paint job man

[@davidwilson8010]

Like it a lot man and I just learnt a trick today..thanks for that..putting clear coat in the paint for a extra chine..like I does do bike parts that cover ..I am from the Caribbean in the westing deas ..st Vincent and the grenadines..I look at a lot of videos and enjoy ..everyone have they own ways and tips..I like that..You a great day..do what you enjoy best❤👌👍🤛

[@Refinishnetwork]

Right on, thanks!

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

I'm gonna be shooting my car in single stage white this summer. I can't afford to get base clear. Plus single stage white is easy to match. And I still have more custom work to do. This way I can do it gradually and not have a bunch of different colors or shades

[@JD-ph1dz]

I must remember on the very final coat to slow down a bit as apposed to the first top coat. I had runs on the bus i painted today, only on the final coat.. I went to fast and go further enough over my overlaps/ Too much paint on the masking ran onto the surface.. I'm a rookie and the company allows for mistakes.. But I'll practice more on some panels for a few weeks before going onto the vehicles .. Great video and hands down to that experienced painter.. No substitute for experience, very clean professional work.

[@justinmurphy2227]

This is very humble and remarkable for you to post your mistakes.....thank you! This allows us to learn, and for you to learn. If you learn from your errors they are not mistakes but I call them training aids....lol!

Really nice spray technique 👌

[@jeremyeubanks2387]

Most high end hot rod shops use a high end single stage on there solid colors

[@lukeo9459]

Very true at our shop we done 90k car restorations with a badass one stage

You can still sand and buff.

Great job.

[@jeremyeubanks2387]

Paint job looks really nice

[@danarchey8679]

Great Job. What pressure is optimal for single stage?

[@sierraridgereaper]

A lot depends on your paint choice and gun but standard is around 2 bar or 28 to 30 psi.

[@grandmasbabyledesma1266]

Awesome

[@AndrewOtwellMusic]

Great production, narrative, video, technique, all parts.... Thanks.

[@mghassem1]

If the original single coat paint is good and we just want a repaint do you sand it first before applying the sealer. The reason I ask, is that the paint job that I followed did not give me the right paint so I will be painting over this paint job and I’m wondering how to proceed sealer and the paint or sand sealer and the paint?

[@malcolmnicholls2893]

Nice. I think single stage looks different. (According to how you like it). I like it with solid colours.

[@robinmorgan3618]

Looks damn good 👍

[@beguiraserictv7304]

Nice job

[@larrysullivan6536]

That is brilliant love it id like to know how the paint is mixed properly and the hardener ?? Well done nice colour and nicely put on cheers Larrysullivan in London

[@randellerichards6667]

Love that pattern will be trying it

[@johnlondon8554]

Beautiful job.. do you sand it and polish after?

[@sheenastevens9059]

How long should one wait in-between laying the second coat?

[@St.111]

Depends on the air temperature and if your using a slow or fast hardener. After 1st coat touch a part of the masking tape. If it feels sticky like tape, its ready for the second coat. If its not sticky and feels wet..... Wait longer.

[@mark7218]

Looks lovely , if you get a run in the first coat of single stage do you still continue with the second coat or stop painting

[@donaldredline975]

I’d really like to see it unwrapped

[@joeshumo9457]

Here on Maui we have high UV . I cannot get clear coat to last on outdoor kept vehicles. I’ve found that white single stage lasts longer with an occasional waxing. I hate to paint but I hate ugly sun burnt cars even more. Older cars don’t look good or right to me with clear coat anyways and I don’t drive newer vehicles anyways. Single stage let’s me sand my way out of problems painting at home. I asked the airplane guys how they were doing it . Now I know why so many planes are white.

[@larrybroad8746]

how much more should i reduce single stage paint then what is allreddy in the mix cup becouse it comes out to thick and causes orange pell if leave it mixed the way i am suppost to. Larry B

[@waynewilliams5802]

Don't let him lie to u, pops has been painting a long time, look how wet he flowed that paint, boys he's good

[@codyrace4595]

First timer here... What do you wipe the car down with before starting to apply the sealer? I have asked a few people with no answer... I really want to spray a van that is used for underprivileged kids. I tried already and the paint is flaking off in places. Please any advice would be appreciated.

[@kaidencoleman5947]

As an 18 year old in high school who is in a auto body class, i can do my best to explain this if you still need the info. Before applying sealer, I wiper the whole panel that I will spray, down with wax and grease remover, then I blow it off using a blow gun, and then I use a tack rag. I spray the sealer light as in all I want on the panel is just the color. You don't want the sealer super wet. Again sorry for the late reply, but if you need any further help, i can do my best to explain!

[@AndysDogHouse]

Hey guys. I have a lot to learn. I am still confused between sealer and primer and epoxy primer. And there is paint with just reducer and paint with hardener and reducer and paint with a clear coat. I painted my interior with single-stage paint. It looked great when I was finished, but it became dull in about a month. It was mason paint I think from Napa. So many questions and not as many answers. Thanks for sharing.👍👍

[@Refinishnetwork]

Hey, I’ll try and clear some things up for you. Sealer always refers to a 2 part primer that doesn’t require sanding before paint. Epoxy primer uses a different resin than a regular primer(primer surfacer). Epoxy provides superior protection, but it is slow drying and doesn’t fill as well. Epoxy can also be used just as a metal treatment or sealer, many of these primers can be versatile and combined in the process in multiple ways. I could not answer as to why it went dull, that would require a deeper understanding of the process you followed.

[@AndysDogHouse]

@@Refinishnetwork Thanks for your input. I am just doing my own ride. I don't plan on doing this for a living. When I get my truck ready for paint, I want to do it once. Right now it is sitting with some parts in red primer of who knows what it is, Paint is dark blue and who knows how old and some bondo areas and bare metal. I was thinking maybe I should spray it with some kind of primer or sealer when I finish the body job and then paint it. I am going with a flat black os hot rod black as my topcoat.

[@Okie-Tom]

Nice yellow! One question. Do you have a link to the silver container you mixed the paint in? I like it’s design. Thanks, Tom

[@fishpony1211]

Came out great! Looks like a taxi but i love the color.

[@DIYM105Camper]

Hi there great video very informative! Also do you remember what was the name of the color that you’re using on the car

[@bernardmauge8613]

I am spraying Polyurethane single stage with a HVLP at the recommended pressure around 15psi . I love the paint but it does not love me. I get runs no matter how I spray. I tried one tack coat plus one wet coat and it runs, I tried one wet coat and it runs. I am starting to think it has something to do with the hardener. I am using PPG paint. Any comments is appreciated Thanks.

[@jeanbrown3438]

Yes, looking beautiful for one stage. and grate coverage.

[@julianelias6747]

Nice job thanks

[@johnnycashh7148]

Looks great..."if" someone decided to clear it, would you want the second coat to dry and fix any spots before clearing or while second coat is tacky? Cheers! 🍻

[@chickensoup5452]

Do you cut and buff after the paint is cured or once it cures is it 100% done? Thanks

[@sultanasfoor7646]

Good man

[@randyanderson6110]

What do you think about adding clearcoat hardener to si gle stage? Any benefit? Gonna spray single stage, should I go with a slow reducer or medium? Temp range will be around 80 degrees.

[@yourmom705]

I had a single stage job done and I wanted to protect it and decided to spray a clear coat and I ended up ruining the paint

[@paintnomics9523]

Looks pretty Pro!

[@johnnyshd8250]

It was done in a 80k spray booth. Should turn out pretty nice

[@gtrdrejugfde288]

I’ve only ever sprayed base clear so how does a single stage hold up over time

[@danieltaylor4819]

A good single stage will last years. That's all that people used before base clears became popular.

[@my_carp_life3424]

Looks good how many litres did the car take for both coats?

[@djjc76]

Great job and the explanation was fantastic. Question for you...on single stage paint, I was told to do it in three coats: 1. light coat to provide a bite for the 2nd coat. 2. medium wet coat. 3. final medium wet coat. I've been having issues with graininess after applying a few coats of single stage black. Thanks again.

[@rosstum123]

So with single stage paints they can be quite fusssy on how they are layed down my advise is spray similar to laquer/clearcoat. These paints are usually fairly dense so a bit of a higher pressure and fan adjustment is usually needed. Watch a few videos on setting a gun up for laquer and work from there.

[@johnallen9819]

Do you add additional reducer to the 2nd coat? Though to me my a Dupont tech rep in the 70s, for painting helicopters

This is 2k urethane, not enamel. Sprayed with a 1.3 tip and the HVLP aircap.

[@Christisknockin4U]

n I got tiger stripes with my new for this project devilbiss startingline spraying metallic, 22psi gave best spray pattern, slightly heavier on bottom, even when I turn air cap 180 degrees. Air tip clean. Held gun what seemed parallel to surface. sides are good- just hood,roof, trunk.Have 3 coats on and looks better but still can tell. So do I scuff and spray at higher psi and increase distance spraying to fix?

[@mikeskidoo3991]

What was the bill on this job?? I’m a body guy about to spray single stage for the first time but it’s ford red JM and I’m wondering about coverage… maybe I’ll seal the entire truck in grey sealer

There may be a few dirt specs that could be polished out, I am not exactly sure what you're referring to.

[@noidretlaw]

Can you spray Single Stage without sealer? For instance simply fine sand existing paint on the car and then do 2 coats of Single Stage?

[@Refinishnetwork]

Yes, you can. It may require more coats though depending on the transparency or the color. Yellow is usually fairly transparent.

[@MarkK01]

Is there such a thing as to much base and to much clear? Does your paint work shine better and last longer with the more products you apply?

[@Refinishnetwork]

Yes, there is an ideal mil thickness range. If you have too much or too little paint it can cause durability issues.
