You Won’t Believe How This Car Left the Factory!

[@DraXxus001]

I love that you show the things that are less that perfect in your work, and how you handle them. These are really valuable lessons for us non-professional guys.

[@DIY-V12]

Thanks for inspiring me to make all the mistakes you warn about! Even from the lowest section on the learning curve it is always fascinating to see these errors corrected - you are great teacher Brian!

[@PaintSociety]

@@DIY-V12 thank you!!

[@mikekirkpatrick293]

Brian... I love the way you explain and how you're humble about the job at hand. Every situation is different but you walk us through it and build our confidence and knowledge with every video. Kudos my friend and thank you. I'm thinking about spraying my "" Switchblade Silver Metallic " this summer and the tips are welcome. 🌹

[@PaintSociety]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@chayneyshuck5503]

Love how easy you always make it look. I have painted a few panels here and there and done great because I learned from you.

[@01bogwoppit]

Love the videos , you explain it in a way i can understand

[@jimprovax6846]

Nice job Brian. Crazy that the paint defect got pass QC. I was always a GM boy. Quality today is not to my standards. I switched to Honda’s years ago. Enjoy your evening.

[@PaintSociety]

Oh yea. Surprisingly enough the paint on the hondas seems to be smoother then these

[@Imnotyourdoormat]

*I've fixed a lot of em with Factory ... **_"Panel Edge Runs" in the Clearcoat_*

[@strifex-suspension-works]

I've watched a lot of your content. I'm a DIY painter, and just spraiyed single stage. Whatever it is, I just can't fully grasp how do you know how fast/slow do you have to go (either with single stage or clearcoat) to not get runs but still lay it down wet so that it is smooth and glossy? I understand that for both of these the first coat must not be fully wet to promote adhesion for the subsequent coat but I'm really more looking for tips on spray technique. Maybe this can be an idea for next vid? Thanks!

[@doug2993]

You have to think about being like a robot, keep the same distance from panel with each pass and during the pass. You're spraying just enough for it to be wet(shiny)and maintain the wet edge. The videos are nice, but you will learn from doing it, the more you do, the better you will get, just takes time, like most things in life.

[@claudemarois4846]

Beautiful job as usual !

[@stipq076]

Got a run on tailgate just before leaving work need to fix it Monday morning I hope I won't need to repaint it

[@desertghost5273]

nothing a razor blade a buffer wont fix

[@Dubstep04]

Razor blade has to save you man, good luck 😂

[@DrFiero]

Another reason not to 'walk the panel' - was doing a (full size) truck box a little while ago. While trying to walk it front to back, I tripped over the damn air hose! On... of course.. the last coat of clear. :( While attempting NOT to do a face plant into the concrete, I ended up with about a 2ft long run. Arrrgggghhhh.....

[@DrFiero]

At least I * didn't * manage to bounce my body off the panel though! So there's that....

[@sallyreim6668]

Painter's nightmare. Lol

[@Dubstep04]

Then you catch yourself releasing all anger and frustration on a hose 🤣🤣🤣😭

[@DrFiero]

@@Dubstep04 - trust me... that hose has SO many boot stomps/prints now!!!

[@whipsNstuff]

That sucks man . I'm glad my mentor always taught me from the beginning to walk panels starting with storage vans . Never had a accident like that but never say never 😂.

[@doug2993]

Good stuff Brian, thank you!

[@bobfrankish8883]

Hi Brian, really nice job and instructions. We have the Arctic blast here in the north of England, and I can tell you it's really UNPLEASANT! Some rural areas got -20 degrees C a night ago. Looking out my window at 5" of snow that has been here since Monday, so, I've not been anywhere near the garage.

[@PaintSociety]

Those are insane temperatures oh my God

[@WurzerFranz]

Hervorragende Arbeit. Grüße aus Österreich 👍 👍 👍

[@AK-he2uv]

Awesome work again brian! Question about your products, Why dont you ship around the world? you have supporters from outside US too! That paint suit looks great.

[@PaintSociety]

It is an Amazon thing out of my control

[@joseph5348]

Thank you for your videos,they got me off my açe and did some paint on my Saturn , 2001 had original clear coat gone on hood roof driver door ( pretty much half the car.) Basic sanding just to get clear coat "flakes" off the edges, cleaned ,washed ,dryed,and rattlecan clear sprayed.Horrible by your standards but I really think it looks quite a bit better than it did, I CAN,T STAND THE BURNED OFF STOCK CLEAR COAT LOOK¡¡!!!

[@tcorley7477]

I've seen a brand new I believe it was a chevy blazer on the show room floor not outside. Had looked like a run on the c pillar

[@iamthead8831]

The new 3m one time use hard cups cost the same and are always clean.

[@frankevans287]

I have an 03 safari, factory paint the way it left the factory, there is zero paint on the front edges of the driver and passenger door, luckily gm galvanized the body metal because its clear as day bare metal. I find it kind of funny but it's a testament to the galvanizing

[@claudemarois4846]

You inspired me to take the job on my 2013 f150, will finish the body work ( replace the quarter panels, i already replaced the cab corners ) and would like to repaint the whole thing, it is black but i would like to paint it charcoal, do you think i will need more than a gallon ? i never touched a paint gun before ...

[@joosten1977-wz2zj]

what tip you use with the sagola?? i switched from 1,3 to 1,2 because clear would not stick. and the clear i use is very thin. the pace you use in much slower than what i go for. i puts out alot of material even with the 1,2 nozzle. thanks i also have some difficulty walking panels, but its needed for truck beds and so.....

[@jeremysmith2753]

Hey Brian where did you get your neutralizer gun? And what brand is it? Thanks for any information brother and thanks as always for all the great tips and knowledge!!!

[@SGSAutomotive]

Yeah I’m wanting one as well.

[@paragmakwana23]

Hi I have a lot of questions for you about one binder, primer and sealer I need a little bit of clarity on this if you don’t mind helping me

[@Xx9ThatKid6xX]

0:12 Huh? ACURA made by GM??

[@Gearhead2286]

It's on the GM Ultium Platform. ZDX and the Prologue as well

[@justinjohnson8816]

Are you spraying the Hs+ 2 pack clear?

[@PaintSociety]

Not here. Select 4.0 clear

[@dizboyanthony]

7:39 do you mean black sealer?

[@PaintSociety]

No

[@dizboyanthony]

@@PaintSociety you said you used black primer, but it looks like you are doing base coat

[@PaintSociety]

@@dizboyanthony i meant black paint. Not primer

[@richardthomas-md6xt]

Great job ,excellent description.

[@Blacksockmafia1]

Acura made by GM?

[@PaintSociety]

Yes. Acura hasnt made any EV so GM took that over since they already have the r n d done.

[@Blacksockmafia1]

@ oh interesting… good to know! I am a Honda/acura guy myself but I do drive a Chevy Silverado daily. GM is my go to over ford and dodge!

[@troyshepard592]

Brian have u used Sagola Pro Clear cap?

[@PaintSociety]

Yes. Great option

[@thruitallauto2538]

I bought a new dodge truck in 2021, never noticed till after bought , this trucks paint was full of orange peel the whole truck, looked awful, but I had done signed on the dotted line

[@rhettcorbett3346]

The company better look at their QC process.

[@ronallen6578]

My thoughts exactly. How would something of that size get past anyone other than Ray😊😊

[@stueypinnock8875]

You started clear coating from rear door overlapping into the front door..then finished the front door..on your final clear coat you should of started from front door overlapping into rear door.. to eliminate any heavy build up where your gun finishing on the overlap

[@juanrivera8566]

Ever heard about flashing time? Why laying second coat over fresh clear and risk a run when the other side is tacky.

[@jcues03]

This goes to show that theres no final assembly quality control, all japanese car manufacturers have workers inspecting vehicles in the assembly line once they come out of paint, i guess GM doesn't believe in that, if I was a dealer , i would let the manufacturer know specially if paying invoice

[@autoauctionfinds]

Trailblazer not a Yukon

[@aetransam]

Acura is owned by Honda

[@PaintSociety]

The zdx is made by GM

[@JW-lo2bh]

The ZDX is made by Cadillac. Another example of excellent GM quality control.

[@fomomofo6917]

You can say that about any automaker. Better than the spun bearings in the Toyotas and KIAs
