Thanks, Tony. I'm new to this and just created a few runs for myself :( when applying my clear coat and I now need to remove them. The key comment that encouraged me was "you think you've got a run = the job's knackered". I have 2 or 3 coats on my panel so I'm pleased to hear that I wont have to re-do the whole area. Thanks for explaining it so clearly. Your commentary is spot on

Thanks Tony. I like the tungsten carbide tool. FYI those look like the same tool that is used for scraping in metalworking. Those can be resharpened at any machine shop that has a diamond hone grinding stone. It takes less than 5 minutes to re-grind a new edge. Just a thought that may save you a few quid. Cheers from Florida's Space Coast.

Great vid Tony, Helps people alot. You know better than me as it’s your full time job. I do a few custom spray jobs on motorcycles every so often. I like to use Mirka Abralon discs wet with a small amount of detergent added for cut. Using Farecla G3 then G10 then Glaze. This mix has saved me from the brink of no return to a show finish. Just a bit of input to show there is more than one way to achieve your goal, which is a happy customer & feeling good about your finishing.👍

Thanks OP this info is exactly what I needed... just repainted the hood of my 2002 Camry - finally after weeks of botched finish, sanding and more ditto, buying far too much stuff, FINALLY I think I'd had the method perfected to make this car look as good as I want. Got halfway through and using ratle can clear coat there were drips - no I hope I can perfect the paint on that hood! BTW I tried 4 kinds of rattle can clear coat yes FOUR - not one of them gave satisfactory results, except one "ERA Paints 2K High Gloss Automotive Clear Coat"! During the course of this project I used dupli-color, Eastwood 2K High Gloss Clear, All the other rattle can clear coats I tried left ugly dry spots, just couldn't spray it or sand after to make it look right...this brand gives great results every time.

Great video Tony and it seemed like you had a good turn out last night for the live chat. I use a razor blade for cutting back the runs but haven't taped the ends up so will give that a try 👍 I used to use a razor blade when I worked at a mouldings company, I used to do all the injection and vacuum mouldings for Hospital MRI scanners and used to repair my own moulds with tooling gel and used a razor blade to scrape down the highs just the same as runs but tooling gel is very very hard and would soon blunt a razor 😁 anyway mate take it steady and hear you soon 🙏👍

Hey Tony, nice video mate. I've just put 2 coats off Spies Hecker Permacron 8025 clear with Permasolid VHS 3225 medium hardener on my Torana. Got two small runs. How long should I leave it before it's hard enough to run a tungsten block over and sand? It was sprayed in a home booth with no heating (about 25°C when sprayed) but falls to about 10°C overnight, so slow drying. Don't want to go to early and uncover soft clear underneath. Cheers Andy

Thanks so much for sharing this. So well explained and great video quality. Just a woman over here who knows nothing about car repairs and thought I'd give it a go. Repainted my bumper but have had a small run in the top clear coat. I now feel less anxiety after watching this 😂 the only problem is I dabbed a small amount off trying to remove it and it's turned white. Do I still follow your process? Or have a ruined the paint underneath? -Michelle

[@willcambridge8629]

Hi mate, two quick question. Do you have todo this after the clear has cured for a while or whilst it's still sorft ish ? And can I use a normal rotary instead of a orbital polisher? The reason I ask is I spray a roof yesterday and it looks like a bloody iced cake at this point. Also if I get a run in my base can I just sand down to 500 and re base and clear, or do I have to prime the entire panel again?

[@TREKLlN]

Thank you! Novice painter using a gun for the first time and i got a pretty bad run on one of my panels. Was panicking and almost wanted to dab the area

Do they do curved Stanley knife blades or tungsten blocks. I have convex shaped panels. Nightmare for trying to flatten. Sanding lines from a soft block show when you base over the primer. They are just visible with the clear coat over it. Only if you look from a particular angle. I’m thinking to get a angle grinding disc for cutting stone and tape most of it off. Hold it at the right angle so it sits nicely following the concave. What do you think? Thanks.

[@eddyemm]

Bingo! Think I just found the perfect thing. Rotary cutting discs. Basically a circular Stanley knife blade. Japanese steel.

[@andrewalleyne312]

Thanks alot for this video

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

no problem

[@satamanschmidt3428]

Interesting Tony. Here in America we do it somewhat differently but the end result is the same. What I personally do is use a scraper burnishing tool to form a burr on the razor blade. (Kevin Tetz's Paintucation videos shows this trick in one of his videos and it works great. After forming the burr you then bend the razor blade into a slight crescent shape which lifts the edges of the blade away from the work. Even so I too still tape the last quarter of an inch on each side of the blade. I call the tape "training wheels" when I show this to new guys. The burr really scrapes off the run much faster. Think cabinet scraper. A lot of people use the putty method which I also like as the putty serves the purpose of a guide coat and I sand this down with a 3" DA using 3M 260L finishing film starting at P600 and finishing at P1500 or Starcke 747 (good stuff and film based as well). I tend to avoid wet sanding if at all possible. That stated the best wet sanding paper that I've found is the Starcke Matador (which goes all the way down to 7000 grit - now what you would use that for escapes me but they do make it). I completely agree with the SIA foam pads and I like the SIA more than the similar Mirka Abralon since the SIA is aluminum oxide abrasive and the Mirka Silicon Carbide which doesn't last as long. The Trizact is great but it's not worth the price. Another interesting difference is that in America we start with wool pads on a rotary for compounding whereas you Europeans prefer foam for some reason. I like Lake Country's Foamed Wool with Menzerna 400 and then switch to orange foam on a FLEX forced rotation polisher for Menzerna 3500. I use a forced rotation polisher (FLEX) rather than a straight rotary as it completely eliminates any swirls. It's fun to see how other people do things.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Thanks buddy I’d love to have the decent wool pads over here but there like rocking horse s””t to find proper food wool pads here lol

[@littlewol2620]

for those playing along at home, u can also use sth like, old skool 1k "top stop" type putty to skim around the run, so u can take back majority of a run without any fear of fking up the surrounding area, at the least, itll help build confidence...its also useful as u can remove the putty pretty easily if needed from the surrounding glossy area...but once u get this method, then step up to a shark fin, runs only mean 1 thing...u arent trying hard enough to get the finish ;) personaly, ive had plenty of runs, any painter who said otherwise is lying....but this is how i found to get the confidence and experience to do what tony is doing....ive gone as hard as 320 on 60minute cured clear and pulled it off before

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

That’s it man we all get them lol , personally not a fan of the stopper method but know a few who like doing it that way

[@satamanschmidt3428]

@@TonysRefinishingTV Tony the advantage of the stopper method (you Brits, why would you call polyester glazing putty stopper - what the hell does it stop?) is that you can use a small DA (I have DA's in 3", 2" and 1 1/4") to very quickly remove the run using relatively coarse paper (like P220) to start. When you can see through the putty you switch up to finer grits until all of the putty is removed. When the putty's gone so too is the run. But that isn't the biggest advantage of this method. When you have a run the area immediately above the run is thinner than the average thickness of the clearcoat. It's possible to completely remove the run and have a depressed area immediately above where the run began. The putty method accounts for this.

The issue is with a lot of runs is it'll make the panel look wavy and when you get a run in a real small spot like around the crack of a door like the round the roundness of the inside of a door or where molding goes you can you can try to get it out but sometimes it's depending on the clear in the founder ability of the clear you might be able to get it out without burning through but there's a lot of time involved and trying to get the run out the way that I look at it as a rosary do I got a panel right now that has quite a few runs and I'm an experienced painter I shot three panel just the other day with all the same product didn't get runs on one of the product I don't got a slight one on the other and then got quite a few on the last one which I was tired and fatigued so that being said that's probably why I got the runs but I use the same method over and over and I try to keep the same viscosity when I'm mixing clear because when it's too thick it takes a while to low 9 and when it stood in it will run on your really fastso now I got to spend more time or money and more material to fix these couple blemishes but it'll be perfect after I'm done the way I look at it as a run as a redo pretty-much
