Wet sanding and buffing runs out of a single stage paint job

In this video I’m showing how I wet sand and buff runs out of a single stage paint job I did on a Toyota Corolla that I painted white. I’ll show you what tools and materials I use to fix the runs and to buff the panels to a smooth gloss finish.

Over 40 years ago we had acrylic enamel paint which was very hard to jump on and buff then they came out with this single-stage Urathane which was a game changer on solid colors but on metallics we were still using lacquer with a Urethane clear on top and now the wonderful world of Base coat clear coat 2k .... I was the first in my city back then to use it and it has gotten even better. The cheap stuff is better than what was top-end back then. Keep up the great work

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

Thanks MustangRebuilder I appreciate you and paint has come a long way. I keep hearing about metallic single stage being a handful so I’m gonna try it out in the near future

[@halfinchholes88]

One of my father's painters told me that if you notice a run while painting, it may seem counter intuitive, but he said to give that area another light coat, so that when you block sand the runs, it is less likely to cut through. Great video Mr. King!

This was great Boss. Us guys, your students, will be making mistakes. This video is as important as watching you lay on the material.

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

Glad the video was helpful!

[@LTVoyager]

I like the method of applying a thin coat of body filler around the run and then sand the area until the run and the body filler are just barely gone. This protects the surrounding paint and gives a precise indication when the run is now level with the surrounding paint. Polish and you are done. This approach might take just a little longer as you need to wait for the filler to harden, but it makes the sanding faster with much less chance of burning through a spot.

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

I agree that, that method works really well!

[@k20lifestyle]

Great video bro, that run came out smooth! Hopefully you will have more single stage projects because I would like to see more. People sleep on single stage! It can come out nice and it’s budget friendly.

I've had good results cutting the tops of the heads/runs off with a Festool carbide scraper. Quicker than sanding. Others use razor blades to scrape them off. But sanding is definitely easy to control. The beauty of single stage is the heads are the same material as all the rest of the paint

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

If this was base coat clear coat I could have taken a few different routes but with it being single stage I wouldn’t to be on the safe side and sand it, I’ll have to look into the scraper you use

Best tip I could give for painting outside is to pick a day when it’s not too windy and either early when the bugs haven’t gotten to busy outside or late when the bugs aren’t as busy, I hope that helps Micah but when it comes to the painting outside, it won’t be much different from painting inside a building

[@danamcintyre3565]

The only thing is, no time scripted for how long you waited before sanding and buffing. I know single stage paint take longer to get hard enough to cut and buff but looks like it's still masked from painting, that's something I would never attempt.

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

I left it masked so I wouldn’t get compound everywhere and I waited 4-5 days before I cut and buffed

Thank you for the informative video i just painted my instrument panel on my 1968 firebird with with black single stage acrylic urethane it came out perfect on 90% of it but i have a section over the glove box that has orange peel on it what would you recommend sir this is my first time painting a car with real paint i am good with body work but i am just learning to paint myself.

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

Depending on how much material you have on your panel and how big the run is, you probably could start with 1000 grit sand paper then move up to 1500 grit and continue going up on grits until you get the results you’re looking for

I had a problem wet sanding a single stage Red. The drips/sags dried in different layers, so when you wet sanded you could see different colors (it was like the different pigments settled differently). It outlined the drips / sags. After that I always do base / clear. It's not worth rolling the dice for me. I can always correct bases before clear, and I know I won't have that issue in a clear.

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

So you sprayed a metallic single stage? You can have that same issue doing custom paint jobs when adding pearls and flakes etc. in your clear coat and getting a run

[@moetop]

@@UndergroundPaintKing NON Metallic. It was just a base color no flake no other additives.

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

@@moetop wow, I hear other people talk about that issue with metallic but not regular base

[@moetop]

@@UndergroundPaintKing There was a lighter red layer as well as an odd purple layer. I have run into it with metallics, but you expect that, as the way the metal flake lays depends a lot on the spray and a drip or run will collect the flakes..

Hey brother, I started the cut and buff and my sandpaper started gumming up immediately. I laid the clear down three days ago. I’ll wait another week and try again, hopefully there’s enough clear. Any thoughts on why this could happen? I was using an orbital sander and dry sanding.

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

You sprayed clear over single stage?

[@chefswole]

@@UndergroundPaintKing it was a 1:1 red color with pearl in it. 1:1 . paint:reducer.

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

@@chefswole so base coat clear coat?

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

@@chefswole I can only assume that the clear wasn’t cured enough for cut and buff, it’s normally best to wait at least a week

Hey brother just thought I would ask you for advice on tip size for painting the crystler PRC paint code paint it's an red withe flake and pearl both and is base coat clear coat system not an tri stage just sprays all at once? Nason paint.

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

I personally would spray with a 1.3 tip Wright!

[@wrightsrrt871]

@Underground Paint King cool ill use my widow gun then sounds great! And sealer primer with same or should I use an 1.5 ?

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

@@wrightsrrt871 depending on the thickness of your sealer you can go with either a 1.3 or 1.5 tip but the 1.7 will work well for you also

[@wrightsrrt871]
