I could see that the top of the door was a bit bluer, but that also could of been that the primer may have what we call bleed thru, giving it a lighter or bluer appearance. Basically you may not have got it covered with the color enough. It could also be that the color was not agitated good enough to. (Shake it for 5 mins)

Finally showing the actual process instead of skipping/editing it. Because when we try at home, and we get what doesn't look to be the shiny clear mirror finish, we get discouraged. Good to see what it looks like "mid-way" to see what we have to do to get the end. Honestly, turned out A LOT better than I thought it would. This should be OK for most people who don't care for show-quality, just want the unsightly clear coat peel gone...

[@nordicpride9708]

Great video. A modification I would make is getting the paint code and going to a paint store where they can factory match and put in an aerosol can. The results would be about as perfect as one could expect. The one variable is this existing paint is OLD and pearls are very hard to match. Also def be aware that 2K has isotopes that will KILL you. Wear a appropriately rated respirator whenever you spray 2k paints/clears. Stuff is no joke!

[@moreafterthistime]

Didn’t know this was a thing! Thank you

You can take the car paint code and take the car itself to those who would do the mixing for you and they will be able to match the color for you. Well done

[@JOEGGGJOE]

Don’t do a mist coat just to finish the can on the last coat, that’s why you got orange peel. That’s the best 2k rattle can out there. If you spray it rite, you can get no orange peel. Glad to see someone actually doing the correct steps (Sand, prime, base, & clear coat).

[@dkindig]

Ditto on actually doing the correct steps, glad to see that. I've got to repair an area that was poorly done by someone else, clear flaked right off. I suspect that they attempted to spray the clear over the original base coat and I found out that clear needs to chemically bond to the base shortly after the base is sprayed for best results. Now I know that I have to go all the way back to primer for best adhesion...

[@garrykennedy5484]

I thought that orange peel came from doing too heavy a layer. I'm not painter, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

[@bazzaoffreshwater]

I find that you always get orange peel with 2K clear coat spray can. On the bright side - wet sanding and buffering with compound sorts it out and the cost is mostly elbow grease.

[@LifeofAK777]

I was going to say, wet coats instead of misting it on would help a lot with the product settling smoother

[@megaman4201]

@@garrykennedy5484 no, he was spraying very light to medium coats... Definitely should have been a little wetter on the last two coats. Also he was almost completely missing the end of the rear door on both the base coat and clear coat, make sure you give the edges a little extra attention or you will be buffing through!

[@Steve_Mazza]

Nice work, and I like your honest assessment of the repair at the end. You can tell there is a difference in the old and new paint, but it looks very good overall. My only criticism is - don't spray 2K products without a cartridge respirator and goggles, at a minimum! That stuff has toxic solvents that can mess your nervous system up.

Glad someone mentioned that. Isocyanates bad. Cartridges also must be rated for organic vapors, And if they aren't brand new they should have been stored in an airtight bag and only used for 6 to 8 hours total. If either of those conditions haven't been met then be safe and buy new cartridges.

[@TralfazConstruction]

Forty-four years ago my younger brother repainted my '70 Mercury Capri using a sprayer that attached to the exhaust port of a vacuum cleaner. He worked on it in his spare time and it took five weeks. Most of the time was spent preparing the vehicle to be painted. My brother more or less made me promise to not get antsy and want to look at it before he was finished. It turned out great. We still talk about it. My brother did a great job with the body preparation. This was all done in a time when cell phone cameras didn't exist. What gives me pause now is thinking about how _no one_ even thought to take a single photograph before or after so all I have are the memories of what the vehicle looked like before the job and afterwards.

Finally! Someone gives a good presentation on how to fix clear coat with spray can! I watched so many bad videos on this topic before landing on this. After a few steps of trial and error and before I watched this, I did something similar. The results were equally impressive. The two steps I added were to use a polishing compound after the cutting compound and to wax as a final step. The polishing compound will give it an even better mirror like finish. And of course the wax will help protect the new paint job! Thank you for posting this Hektor!

Also had a few friends who are painters were extremely impressed. Only paid 300 for the front end instead of 2300 like i was quoted. Use your paint code and have a local auto paint shop premix them.

[@brettkuhn3224]

Awesome job on that for a DIY! I do mobile bodyshop work for a living and wanted to add two things: 1) you can get custom matched paint cans made for you at local paint shops. I get them for about $20 each when I need a color that I can’t easily make. They spray better and match better then Duplicolor. Larger cans too. 2). You can cut down on orange peel a huge amount amount by spraying the 2nd-last layer of clear much wetter, it’ll make the wet sand and polish process 10x easier. Most jobs don’t even need a polish when applied in that way. Great work and way to get out there and do stuff! Too much talk from most people.

Best to remove the door handle and belt moldings vs. tape them off. Why? The clear/color coat will lift where the frog tape met with the molding as there is no surface prep to hold it. Otherwise, this is a great alternative to professional body shop methods which simply revert to complete paint of doors. One alternative to the rattle can color coat. Get a pint of color matched paint from a local automotive paint shop. Heavy on the clear so it doesn't do this again. Looks better than it did and thats the important part.

Dude that looks really good! I would imagine if you fixed your spot and then sanded and primed the whole door it would have been to where you couldn’t tell. But honestly it looks 1million times better!

Simple job, perfect mind.. 👌🏻👍🏼

You’re spraying 2k clear without a respirator??? This can kill you, or at the very least, do severe damage to your lungs and skin.

[@WoundmanTV]

Agreed. Haven't seen him respond to anyone about it either. 2k is NASTY stuff.

Wait for the upcoming video, “Repair your damaged lung AT HOME.”

Its ok he is a big tough guy.

Awesome work brah, learning thank you

[@aacar4095]

Do you have to use primer or can you just spray the paint if you’ve sanded some and cleaned?

[@Imwright720]

Very nice. My 1 suggestion is that primer needs about 180 grit for a good bond. Check the can for the best grit for your primer to bond to.

[@wisecampmotorcycles8258]

Awesome job Homie ! I learnt something today. 👍

[@luckyadamsix]

Great work! Looks amazing!

[@MrClownWorld]

Dude, this is awesome. I got an old Jeep that needs a paint job, I just might try it myself. Also, nice flag 👍🏻

[@beckywatt5048]

DuPont used to make some paint called Centari , it was a highly durable enamal paint , with a little practice it was pretty easy to use , we used it on ALOT ! of trucks and blazers , you might see if they still make it .

[@MrClownWorld]

@@beckywatt5048 thanks for the recommendation! I’ll look into it

[@beckywatt5048]

@@MrClownWorld You are welcome , I've helped and painted more than one K5 Blazer outside in the driveway , just have to be patient for the right conditions , put it on thick and buff out any glaring imperfection .

[@1967davethewave]

The problem is your repair looks better than the original finish next to it!!! Great job. I hadn't seen that clear coat product with the hardener in it before. It truly makes a spray can repair a real repair. thanks for the video.

You need glasses

[@1967davethewave]

@@roymoxley2587 I left them at your mom's house. Can you grab them for me, they're on the night stand next to her bed.

[@kellyhart3886]

Great video. Gives me confidence to repair a small bumper dent I popped out and now the paint cracked. But what is dust coating?

[@markheckman3987]

Great job, Thanks Eric O. South main auto

[@felipew1938]

Good job, Hector. I got a truck that has the same thing. Thanks!

[@MartinHernandez-qv4vc]

Very nice great job, most affordable and you did a wonderful job explaining and to the point

[@cswann8]

I'm fixing the clear coat on my side mirrors that have spots of the clear coat eaten away by acid from bugs hitting them. I have 2 foam sanding blocks 400/600 and 1000/1500 grits. I dry sanded up to the 1000 and wet sanded the 1500 grit. I taped plastic painters sheets over the door and fender and bent the mirror to it's folded position and am putting 3-5 very light applications of rattle can clear on. It's turning out very well.

Thanks for going into so much detail. Have a small clear-coat peeling area on my grand cherokee rear hatch. Going to try your method.
