Thx, glad you like it.

I'm impressed with such fluent ,precise and informative narrations that Mr.Tony perform!Bravo!You should be TV host.The end result is superb but it is suited only for high skilled painters that are maybe 5%.Opinion is based on 30 years experience.I have seen to many painters and bad results created by them.

[@Spieshecker]

Thanks you for your compliment and observations. Through our training we try to improve the knowledge and skills of our customers (and of our competitor customers) so that we lift the level of the industry. Given the complexity of vehicles, the materials used and the types of colour/finish available training is essential to keep up with development.

Thank you! Cheers!

I did this colour last month, it’s a pain of a colour.Base has to be equally wet .Base coat is pinkish, and skill is needed to blend the base in.You have got to get into your mind that the tinted clear coat is not to be blended to edge to edge.Not to be heavy handed , as after the tinted coat goes on .Then your got the clear coat going on.

[@johnboy2436]

Love the video, i need to touch up this color and my Megane R.S.. I have some very large chips from some damage on the front bumper. I have bought the ground coat and top coat in a kit. How do i proceed for the best results? should i mix the top coat 50/50 with clear? Is there some reds i need to buy to mix with clear to get a better match? Which red is the one used in the clear? I honestly cant find any info anywhere.. Iv been looking now for days and like 50 videos. Im willing to buy what ever i need to touch this color up. Thanks

[@Spieshecker]

Hi thanks for the positive comments. The colour and the tinted clear used in this repair are mixed according to the information within our colour software. These types of repair are best carried out by a professional shop who have the necessary equipment and products to produce an invisible repair. Maybe it would be best to seek professional advice locally before attemting touch up repairs.

[@HUSSEINALI-vr7gs]

Hi Tony You spray 3 coats of clear 2 coats tinted 1 coat clear That's right ?

[@rogerl7533]

Excellent work. Very impressive skills. I have a question with which I'm hoping you might be able to help me. Could a tinted clear be used to slightly alter the existing colour of a car. For instance, my amaranth red Porsche has too much of a brown undertone, particularly in the shade. I'm wondering if a blue tinted clearcoat applied to the existing finish might have to effect of shifting the colour away from the brownish end of the red spectrum.

[@Spieshecker]

Tinted clears are used to produce/reproduce colour depth and intensity and most often rely to some degree to the coloured layer beneath to reach the correct position. I'm not sure if your proposal would have the desired effect to be honest. Maybe worth trying a test panel though.

[@tallon3865]

Hi, 15 years spraying and this is my First time using this system. I hate the lines on standard Airfeds, work frowns on using a 3m full face passive cartridge mask. Where could i purchase the Observers Respirator ? Also, what would you say the average Time scale, for a job like .? Your vids have helped, Thanks

[@Spieshecker]

Hi, the mask worn by the observer/co-commentator is from 3M. I suggest you check locally to see what is available. With regard to average time for such jopbs it is dificult to be specific as each one is slightly different. The key thing is to ensure that such colours are identified early in the repair assessment so that additional time can be allowed for the repair.

[@baha8760]

Thanks for your information i have a question the color for tinting clear from where is it base red

[@Spieshecker]

could you please specify your question?

[@timbrown1103]

How the heck did you get coverage on the primer spots without sealing them? I have to seal everything per ug color.Thanks. Great vid.

[@Spieshecker]

Hi, thanks for your question and comment re the video. One of the major benefits of Hi-TEC is the superior hiding power of the basecoat and it is this plus the fact that the correct colour surfacer was used on the repair that helps achieving this. If you are not already doing so please check your colour software for guidance on which Colour Level (CL) to use with each specific formulation.

[@km6832]

How do you go about tinting the clear coat?

[@Spieshecker]

You can tint our clearcoats by using the Clearcoat Colour Additives. For certain specific OEM colours we use a tinetd clear to reproduce the original high chroma colour. In these cases please refer to Phoenix for guidance on how much additive should be added to a specific clear.

[@km6832]

@@Spieshecker is the color additive an industry wide product?

[@jeangenesse2819]

Great job

[@Spieshecker]

Thank you...

[@fredygump5578]

I wanted to know if I can tint clear coat. Apparently the answer is yes! (I'm sealing the surface of complicated fiberglass molds, so I want to be able to see what I'm doing better!)

Hello I'm from hot Town ark. But the old mc0002 mid coat is discontinued so now they give me 9052 I do believe but it much darker I've cut half the amount needed in half and it's still way to dark.what do u recommend.i need a brighter red candy closer to the mc0002

[@Jaxsonandyt2]

Sorry I think the number was9056 we use the blue mid,red mid,and a special metallic mid ,but the red mid .that blue mid is beautiful, but nice teaching,keep it up I sent this to these younger painters.

[@Spieshecker]

Sorry these are US products that you refer to and we do not have these in EU. Please ask your local support for advice.

[@arzymusic4071]

Does it matter if you apply a thin (half) coat before applying a wet coat of tinted clear? Or can you also do it after? And would that affect the texture for my untinted clear if doing so?

[@Spieshecker]

When applying our HS clears in 1.5 coats it is always recommended to apply the first coat closed and thin followed by a finish coat. Remember when applying tinted clears each coat affects the final colour, more coats equal a darker colour position. Thanks for your question.

[@lordstraplife5853]

what is that device he is using attached to his hip so he doesnt have to hold the air hose in one hand and the gun in the other?

[@Spieshecker]

I assume you mean the air inlet/outlet valve of my air fed mask?

[@lordstraplife5853]

Particularly the one feeding air into the spray gun. It looks like some sort of cheater valve to help allow better movement with the air hose. I am not sure what to call it I have never seen it. Update: I just saw it at 13:41 and I do see now it has a hose going to the mask, but it also looks like it connects to the gun as well?

[@NipponStiqqyPaint]

Fascinating

[@Spieshecker]

Thank you

[@vi23100]

Wait, that coat of clear right after the tinted clear blend was that a clear blender or thats your final clear? @14:38

[@Spieshecker]

The final coat is a light coat of untinted clear to help if polishing is needed.

[@143jawwad]

That Really Awesome Application Method Sir

[@Spieshecker]

thx and keep watching

[@freebusinees5668]

And how it was painted in the factory with colored varnish or 3 coats

[@Spieshecker]

Hi, the OEM process also involves a tinted clear layer.

[@geoffreyrawlings9736]

Hi how can you tell if a car has a tinted clear applied.Great video Thanks.

[@Spieshecker]

It can be that when the car was originally painted at the factory that an alternative process or build up was used. In the first instance measure the vehicle with ColorDialog Spectrophotometer & check via the colour software, giving the required information re car make and colour code to establish the colour, best variant and the system needed. It maybe that the OEM has also used a non-tinted clear as the final layer to increase the gloss and appearance of the vehicle so light sanding or polishing the original will not show any coloured residue.

[@oynamalan]

dry sand the clearcoat it dusts off tinted.

[@pedrovenegas423]

Whats the flashing time between the tinted clearcoat and un normal one?

[@Spieshecker]

Hi, thanks for your question. As Tony only wanted to apply a thin closed layer of untinted clear at the end of the process he was able to do this immediately after application of the tinted clear. Given the size of the job a short period of time had elapsed making this possible. If you prefer you can apply the tinted clear and then the untinted to the repair edges, dry thoroughly and cool, sand lightly to remove any imperfections etc and then apply untinted clear to the whole repair. Working in this way is of course a little less productive.

[@r.w.199]

I is the 480 line and 96 clear.. I find that waiting until the tinted clear it sticky NOT stringy works best.. if the tinted is stringy you can easily solvent pop the clear.. I like it best when I wait 20 mins, then 1.5 coat it.. looks killer, no issues

[@eviljoker303]

Isn’t there a flash off time between the tinted clear and untinted clear?🤔

[@Spieshecker]

Hi,in this particular case no there is not. The idea is to pick up the wet edge of the tinted clear as quickly as possible with the non tinted clear so as to be able to merge the 2 together easily. A final half or thin coat is then applied over the total repair to aid polishing later if needed. The trick is not to apply too heavily.

[@eviljoker303]

@@Spieshecker ooh ok thank you very much I don’t know why our jobber for Spies recommends that we spray the tinted clear then give a small bake before spraying the untinted clear I did as they said (it was a GM color dont remember the code)only to end up with very bad die back and solvent pop which thankfully was able to polish out .I will follow this guide the next tinted clear job I do .I wish our jobber here was a bit more helpful and I am going to order some of those stickers .thank you 👍

We need updated formulas for nissan red tinted clear can't think of the paint code right now. It only has 2 and never was even close to any car. They are both way to dark and red have to triple I think it's 383 to even come close to even make it bendable.

As much as I appreciate this info and how these guys spray, as a production painter we can’t go in the booth and do four or five spray outs lol how would we make money working on cards all day long, I go in, find the best base coat and blend it out with tint clear, never had an issue, not even with 41v /46v Mazda soul red
