[@scorpionpaint]

@@psarb1386 thank you 🙏

[@danielwoodard680]

I always watch twice to learn this stuff. You and Pedro are Terrific teachers. Thanks for featuring him.

[@KFZCinar]

Just slammed that like button, when he said: "Don't overthink it, it's just paint!" God I love this Channel!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@scottbeilby2182]

You guys have taken tutorials to a different level. Real world. Very articulate as well. Thanks for what you do

[@vitosanto3874]

I opened my Body Shop in 1963 and was in business until 1981 when I became an Auto Body instructor at a local High School,compared to what Pedro was doing we were in the Stone Age back then. He is a master.

[@MotoStoriesandmore]

You are the best man. I have some custom work coming up and I was over thinking it.. "If you make a mistake, sand it down, and shoot it again, it's just paint!" I needed that! Cheers!

[@alexdangerjarman1994]

Hey man just wanted to say a sincere thank you. I just started a spray painting apprenticeship and I have learnt so much from you. your videos and explanations help me so much.

[@ronniejohnson317]

I am jealous. He can reach well over half of the car. The got them T-Rex 🦖 arms.

[@91rss]

to be contrary, they only recently found a T Rex with its forearms bones to go by .(Billings Montana) they only guessed and wrongly what length they were, before that Turns out a T rex has short arms therefore doesnt run as if it it did and fell, it could never get up.

[@samarn5435]

I know what do you feel bro, I'm 185cm tall and I couldn't grap the serial box in the back of the middle shelf! My wife said: it's the first time ever I see a tall man jumping to get something!

[@flyurway]

I hav'ta comment. We all learned many years ago about keeping the gun perpendicular to the surface when spraying and especially when reversing direction. At around 11:00 he even gets into a discussion about it. Yet just prior to that I was making note of the fact that this guy, and pretty much every painter on KZbin, they STILL, ALL, do the little "wrist flick" at the end of each stroke. Not 100% of the time, but most. I can't knock the job he does, he's painted far more cars than I ever will and knows far more than I ever will, but I still see every painter flicking the gun at the end of each stroke, just about every time.

[@abdullah_fardm.9725]

3:33 Double handsome Pedro, and double handsome Paint Society. Thanks for teaching.

[@whereswaldo6242]

Back when I was painting that is what we'd call a "No Buffer!" That pearl sure reflects some light.....

[@brandonellerby5126]

@@_-0_x_-_p_0-_ exactly! Did everything correctly to become perfect! Loved that comparison from you!

[@ojscustoms9251]

Very nice job. Pedro looks like a calm dude!

[@DesiJattUk]

Once again stunning paint job I always watch your video to learn something new thank you so much for sharing your experience with us

[@PaintSociety]

Keep rocking brotha!

[@dogemcmoon9644]

I know those corollas like the back of my hand. I did a full hail damage restoration on one. Took me a long time but it's one of my biggest jobs and I was proud of the result.

[@nategmaycock9398]

I'd absolutely love to train with these two gentlemen. Results always impressive.

[@markbarton7303]

Killing it with Pedro! Also a big WTF on the wipes, did not know as well. Great info, and tips!

[@archieanderson2945]

Still enjoyable to view professional painters that are knowledgeable in the trade and offer some fantastic easy to understand tips.

[@JusTryNc]

Man I just recently found your videos and I’m Disappointed I haven’t found this sooner! Very helpful tutorials! Thanks for taking the time to do these!

[@bradeascu]

Finally, I've been waiting for this type of job for so long ! Thumbs up from Romania, Cluj 👍🏼

[@mando-hondadc2992]

Keep up the great work. Amazing jobs

[@johndoe2022]

Awesome Brian thank you very much! around 3:00- you said that he w'ont use epoxy primer? but it's bare metal, so sealer will be enough for the long run?

[@neogx148]

Love the video thanks for the tips! Would love a video just on gun movement on a good way to practice before actually painting to get the hang of it for super beginners

[@billkeller3083]

Yes bradda,your advice about putting on a 1st. light coat as a “glue” set up, and full flash time helped me a lot,as well as making shure that the paint or clear that I’m spraying is “small drop” automizing My mistake b4 was too heavy of a first coat and causing runs

[@WTGamingHD]

I love your advices, its nervwrecking painting first time, only thing now is to remember your words when i try and paint my car :D

[@karlavillajulca9683]

Awesome video 🙌

[@saennsandstrom2247]

Another great collaboration and job guys what confidence builder to us Subscribers

[@bigmikez3128]

Wow that came out very nice!! Great job he did!!

[@ric7524]

I like those wipes great idea

[@joshuarivera7622]

It's nice to be a tall painter. He can reach over the mid point of roof and hood for a good blend. I always had to use a ladder or step stool😂

[@ramoncruz9910]

Thank you for the information. Can't wait to paint my ride... 👍👍👍

[@chespimorales4881]

Nice job guys love it.

[@Genshim5]

Great to see again Brian and Master Pedro Alvares Escorpion!

[@archieanderson2945]

watching him pait this car brings back some great memories> I miss painting cars and trucks.

[@stephengopaul8090]

Awesome video! Wish I (or we) could have seen this car in the night! White Pearl beauty is in the night!

[@DrewGarage]

Gotta compliment you again. You have great videos. Hope to find one from you about setting up a gun and also one about reducing orange peel. This (painting) is the last frontier for me (built cars and done everything else except crazy speed and have no desire). Excited to learn and glad to have your channel to watch

[@davidwood1923]

Great Channel... Great Advice... Thanks for Sharing

[@rafacope80]

Espectacular los trabajos que hacen, gracias por compartir esas enseñanzas me gusta mucho ver sus videos, saludos desde Colombia south américa

[@MYOOUTDOORCLIPS]

Beautiful work!😎💯🍺🎥

[@thomasholmes536]

You really motivated me to paint my own car.

[@aaronmanmohan8966]

When I decided a few years ago to paint my own car, it's on this very channel I learnt a lot of tips and tricks. Now I'm actually doing jobs for customers. Dont overthink it, just give it a go

[@JustEnufCustoms]

Man I want my paint jobs to lay like that in the near future. Great job.

[@ojscustoms9251]

I'm curious about those wipes..

[@davidkutsar6424]

Me too.

[@Sturdy5.0]

non woven wipes so no lint there use to prep the surface before you lay you coats where i work after a coat drys we usually wipe it down again. used just to keep small dirt particles out of your paint job

[@stephengrant3926]

Epic wipes, for prepsol, every body shop has them

[@jerrylittle7797]

Is it just me or does everyone sway watching the movement of the gun? Love these videos!

[@jacknimble1]

It is amazing how consistent his movements are. Like Stepf Curry shooting 3"s. He could probably do it blindfolded. I am sure this paint job was not cheap being down to metal. Where do I find those sweet pouring spouts for the square metal gallon jugs?

[@simon.houseaccount4807]

Great video

[@williamcantalamessa5231]

Good morning from southwest Florida

[@edcallies9971]

What was the air pressure on the paint guns. The same on all paint guns used ? New to this channel. 30psi. Thank you for your help

[@garymccloskeyjr.6265]

Any drop coat with pearl? Also, how do you prevent more pearl and possibly darker areas where you overlap pearl coats? Like where he stopped and had to overlap in the middle of the door.

[@banger220]

looks great

[@eladmedina72]

Beautiful paint job! Brian, maybe next time do a review on the sata x 5500 i nozzle, it’s actually a bit different then a regular sata gun

[@PaintSociety]

I’ll get with Pedro on it 😊

[@MrJuliankilla]

We have to do these warranty jobs on these white toyotas everyday at my shop. We dissassemble the entire car, strip down to bare metal with 120, finish with 180, epoxy and sealer, then sand that with 800 and paint it. its a pain in the ass as the prepper to have to strip an entire car once or twice a week but its good hours

[@PaintSociety]

It’s a ton of work but they do pay good hours from what I hear, you’re definitely right 😊

[@finaldriveracing1671]

I was taught not to use the wipe over filler as it can lead to issue down the road.

[@victorwilks88]

Great video 📹

[@ConesuelaLadyTailor]

First time I've ever seen someone do one and a half panels at a time. I might try that.

[@Evox2316_]

It reduces build up on the edges and lowers the risk of runs

[@ThermalSkyHound]

Every Icar and ppg courses iv been to says do whole side at a time.. no overlap.... but if that's how you get down and it looks good f word it.. do you... 2 each their own

[@husky1232]

Thank you Brian and pedro I injoyed the video I have a question the etch wipes you used I have heard about it are they expensive? Thank you for the video

Great job .....can i sand a bumper 320 no body work and apply sealer only or primer first?

[@minkbandem8093]

Hi brian if you have a chance can you tell us or make a video how much liters paint you guys need for full respray like that? And how much liters clearcoat as well

[@matthewcreel1929]

I love these videos and Pedro is cool

[@jamespolucha8790]

Fantastic

[@brianensminger2237]

What prep needs done on the inside edges of the panels? Just wondering how that blends with the paint inside the door/hood/trunk etc. Thanks

[@bccarvlog]

Amazing sir your work I am auto painter like you sir I'm using ordinary spray gun only I hope someday we can buy spray gun like your using now God bless sir always watching to your vlog.

[@sh3llshockr167]

Hey Chief.. do you have any videos using a paint pen?? I have legend lime mustang and could only find a paint pen for my issue

[@carloschaqui8234]

Great video as always...

[@PaintSociety]

Thanks !

[@Moto_Mike]

Hey what are the the air settings set too? On the Tekna for sealer & base. Also on the Sata for clear? Thanks. I have both of these spray guns, and am quiet interested thanks !

[@ricardohz5148]

Can you do this same steps with sealer on older paint and bare metal spots?

[@thundertiger76]

Can you recommend a basic air compressor for occasional jobs but good enough for someone that wants to move away from rattle cans?

[@yousefmasad1856]

Nice, I'm a new subscriber from Jordan.

[@mohammedzaman8977]

Nice vid . Good vibes . Heelo for london uk

[@pedrokim7435]

Excellent video! Any wipes alternative? They are so expensive

[@weaponisedpotato7352]

@paintsociety, what do you put inside the door to prevent overspray when doing a closed door respray like this please?

[@BossPainter]

Hey quick question!!! Can you use primer surfacer over bare metal?!?! Or does it HAVE to be epoxy or etch??

[@772777777777777]

Which reduced are you using in the base coat..extra slow.... How much time do let the clear activate in the cup before you spray..ie on the coat...

[@sjc7246]

Can you use por-15 metal prep instead of Autoprep Pretreatment wipes?

[@canadianpainter8344]

Hi Brian. At what pressure was the sealer and base applied. And clearcoat please.

[@archieanderson2945]

Etching wipes are new to me, Wish we had them back in the day. I have to get me some. Can you post what brand name they are ? please and thank you.

[@zestyshonavlogs5352]

Amazing

[@raymondadams5583]

What was the process for preparing damaged areas? I'm sure the weren't fixed after the car was sanded to bear metal?

[@sharonkirven9570]

Is it better to use sealer or primer on a car that’s already painted. After sanding the paint of course to paint.

[@blueridgeburnouts8265]

Brilliant

[@justdecoma9096]

Can you do a video on fixing surface rust and slightly worse rust?

[@utubefever7941]

Hello Sir, I'm your new subscriber. I am not a painter but watching your videos makes me feel the guts to paint my own car. I am just curious and confuse about the slow reducer is this like a catalys/hardiner or a thinner, oh I'm sorry it's realy shows how noob me😅 But the way I'm a fan of yours, from Philippines.

[@GhaithAlshaary]

Great video But can you explain more why he didn’t use premier ? Coz I can see part of the car Like the rear quarter he used premier or body filller So why he didn’t prime the whole car Please explain more so we can learn :)

[@kengilliskg]

what is the importance of trigger off and on with the paint gun? I see some guys doing both during the same paint job

[@4kings155]

hii i love your videos

[@boerharms2209]

Ive noticed some painters gun-off at the edge or end of the spray and some dont, why is that?

[@jecoagostolacson4382]

Hey Brian!can I ask u something?how can u prevent wrinkles when spraying?🤔🤔🤔

[@rdj954]

sealer....can it be used instead of primer for most if not all applications ?

[@Blackirishize]

How would you paint a 6x12 enclosed trailer at home?

[@shantor100]

I'm always curious unless I'm seeing the edited version as to why you don't start with the roof and work your way down especially with the possibility of the hose hitting the sides

[@208flatbedOO]

What Temps do your booths stay at on average? That affects gas out time also..

[@KRTube75]

Those wipes are super expensive. I read the MSDS and it's just phosphoric acid and water. I never thought about doing this instead of using self etching primer which contains phosphoric acid. Next time I paint a vehicle, I'll be making my own acid etching wipes with phosphoric acid and water mixed per manufacturer's specifications.

[@revolutionday1]

Was very surprised to see this one taken all the way down to bare metal......that factory paint must have had some serious #issues !

[@SamD447]

So when would you really need to use a primer? I have a project car I'm looking to paint and I'll have to take it to bare metal. Should I just get a sealer instead of primer?

[@macthevan]

Have a part number foe the sealer wipes ? Thanks

[@1974kenm]

It's really hard to get the pearl to show up right on camera in the sun like that. Was that a side draft paint booth? It looked like a concrete floor.

[@luisalcantar8133]

Do u paint with waterborne paint or solvent paint

[@dwaynelejeune3508]

few new stuff shown in this vid! new wipes new primer just confused me more but the spray tech you pointed out really confused me as a new DIY'er i noticed spraying middle to half side of car panels instead of going full length of panels i assume that come with many years inxp. all other vids ive watched show laying down the whole length of panels.

[@mikemetcalfe1526]

They over lap the strokes in the middle of the panels because you don't want to build up material on the edges of the panels (door gaps and fender gaps) and door handle areas. This is where "sags" and "runs" can happen

[@portagee]

I think I could do it now 👍

[@michaelbiniakewitz2329]

I'm an attorney who tinkers with motorcycles and autos in free time and love body work related things especially painting, which I always find nerve-wracking so I have to give this guy credit for cool content but also telling us to chill just paint and can always work on the screw ups. Dig his approach. PS goddamn he's right how painting plastics not the same as metals. Oofah! Doing a fairing huge pain in the ass

[@pedromiguelareias]

On ABS plastic, only use a good epoxy primer and wait 2 weeks before painting. No adhesion promoter, no 2K, nothing that has solvents works.

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Beautyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!
