I am a retired Prestige car painter from Australia and appreciate your quality content, keep enjoying the Trade

[@PaintSociety]

Much appreciated

[@19krpm]

I've learned so much watching your vids. I had so many paint fails in the past I gave it up and stuck to bodywork and prep. The info and techniques you share gave me the confidence to give it another shot. Did some small parts yesterday that turned out great. My second garage is getting a booth, I'm all in. Thanks for your work and knowledge.

[@g3garage]

Been following you for about a year now. You were born a natural teacher. Its a joy to watch you paint and explain the techniques behind it. Thanks for what you do Brian. Its truly appreciated.

[@PaintSociety]

Thanks! Actually I am a full time teacher and I paint on the side

[@g3garage]

@@PaintSociety Well then that makes perfect sense. Seems like you really enjoy painting as it definitely shows in your work. Keep doing what your doing.

[@snail415]

I know this is an older video, but it was worth turning to as a resource for these kinds of repairs. Great stuff. I’d appreciate a video that gets into sanding techniques, dos and don’ts. For example, I have an electric DA (non-pneumatic), and really struggle with avoiding pigtails and buildup. I don’t know if it’s pressure, OPM/RPM, or the grit. That problem is better solved in a video than a discussion, so I’d love to see content that gets into those factors.

[@marekslovak9072]

Hi Brian. I just only want to say big Thank You. for teaching me. I am DIY guy and I really love your videos. Every time I learn from you something new. Big big Thank You

[@BearBudgetgarage]

Catchphrase is true...the learning Never stops(if you are seriously into auto paint/refurbishing/refinishing) Always picking up helpful tidbits on this and other channels. Social media platforms can be destructive, and divide people or it can be used for education and learning like this channel👍And if it makes the content creators some $$$, i'm all for it. It's a valuable service and they should be compensated by youtube.

[@pbroussard]

Weird....I've been wondering if you had a video outlining a small repair on a large panel, and then here it comes, brand spanking new, its like your psychic. Thanks for sharing bro!

[@CoryColt]

Love watching these videos! It's because of these videos that I'm able to step outside my comfort zone and have started doing some painting. I realize this is the proper way to repair these, but man it's like 47 steps and 3 days later to just get out a "minor" ding and rust haha. Can't argue with the results though!

[@beavinator420]

What a great teacher, perhaps the best on youtube

[@johnsp1221]

Another great video. I'm going through an issue with my 17 Pacifica. So far 2 hood resprays for paint. One of the most reported 2017 Chrysler Pacifica problems is its faulty paint, which bubbles and prematurely peels off. Exposed metal surfaces may also develop rust. Well now it's back with Chrysler on the same issues but on both driver and driver sliding door and also on rear hatch. This has been a problem since 40k I'm now at 87k in Florida and waiting to see what Chrysler does. Wish me luck. I would like to know if there are Pacifica owners from 2017 2019 with the same problems

“Minor repair work” *proceeds to prep and paint both passenger door panels* Makes me underestimate all my paint and repair work 😰 I do “cheap” paint and repair work for used car dealerships out of my truck with an air compressor and sand guns/paint guns.

Can I spray etch primer on the panel before doing putty work and can one use epoxy primer to replace the etch primer

[@jTamayo34]

How would you go about fixing edge mapping after the primer is sprayed down? I ask because I thought i had featheredged properly but I can see some edge mapping underneath the urethane primer surfacer.

[@harekrishna507]

Do you sand the primer in one direction or cross over it. Bit confused with the cross pattern he says to sand in.

[@catherinepoloynis]

That looks beautiful.

[@christopherbrougham]

Hi Brian - I'm confused: I've been told by numerous people Never ever ever ever ever spray etch primer over filler or anywhere near paint/clear, only on bare metal. Can you help clarify this? Thanks, and great work.

[@PaintSociety]

Never heard that before but I can learn everyday. I’m not quite sure why it would matter.

[@alexs101]

I have read that etching primer was to be used on bare metal only, as it has acid in it and it would eat the paint under it and cause peeling . In the 15 minute mark you sprayed etching primer on bare metal, body filler AND surrounding paint around it. Would that cause problems with peeling.

[@mastLog1c]

Do we need to sand sealer as well or can we just paint on it .

If you live in a hot area where the sun beats down constantly, how many coats of clear would you recommend be used? I have the clear peeling on my 2000 Durango, but only in places where there has been work done. The factory clear is just fine.

[@milehightiedyes2957]

How long should I wait in between the clear base coat and the color base coat? Does it still need to flash or do I want the color base coat to land in the wet clear base coast? I'm so thankful for your channel logo, don't overthink it.... but yeah I'm terrified to do some minor rust repair on all four doors of my rare 1995 Audi S6 avant. A local shop quoted me $15-20k for the repairs and I just can't stomach that so next spring I plan on taking it on myself. Want to fly out to Colorado and do a training session with me? Would be kind of cool to actually have someone doing it themselves while you are there to teach and correct mistakes.. You make it look too easy!

[@dondirivera7992]

[@darrenconnell3077]

Great instruction on videos, not sure if you have done a video on feathering spraygun trigger and arcing spraygun at the end of a pass and the reasons for this, sure this would be informative for a lot of people and help them improve there spraying technique, seems its left out and not discussed when showing people how to spray. Also be good to show how you blend single stage paint as there seems to be alot of different opinions and approaches . Keep up the top work, from a UK subscriber. 👍

Can you provide the links for the interface pad and all of the sandpaper that you would recommend for doing prep work from Eagle Abrasives please.

I am learning about bodywork and I was just wondering if it would be best to spray some epoxy primer on the bare metal instead of just spreading the bondo over the bare metal. I heard that over time, bondo absorbs moisture.

[@PaintSociety]

That’s not a bad idea either for big repairs. I’m doing that now on a hood I stripped to metal.

When using body filler do you always sand the dent out to metal ?

Good point about not leaving 180 grt sand scratches before primer. We actually finish all our bodywork in 500 grt before primer. Also, we dont etch before primer, we use a good DTM (direct to metal) primer.

Do I have to remove the e-coat on the replacement panels before applying epoxy primer or could I sand the panels with 220 grit before applying epoxy primer/ Your responce is greatly appreciated.Thanks and I really enjoy your videos.

[@PaintSociety]

Yes just epoxy after sanding e coat. Good luck with the project

[@kenmastersmaster]

Excellent as always... Why did you decide to use primer instead of sealer?

[@PaintSociety]

Because I didn’t have much blending room

[@Scratchthejeepguy]

What was the blending clear base coat? I've never heard of that?

[@PaintSociety]

It’s basically clear basecoat. Hok makes it. Called intercoat

[@johntricarico7090]

What is the purpose of using clearbase coat. In this video and other videos you make you do the same procedure. Clearbase after primer or sealer. Then you apply your base then clear. Can you do without clearbase on repairs? What will happen if you don’t utilize clearbase and you shoot your base coat then clear after you 2k primer over dent repair?
