This technique is definitely convenient for people buying and flipping car. Iam glad it has been helpful to so many people.

Iam working on a video to polish the blend. Stay tuned and subscribe so can be notified when I post the new video. Don’t forget to turn on your notifications. Thank you 🙏 for watching.

Here is a video I just made explaining when to apply the blender. Check it out link👉ruclips.net/video/v432DPWoSwc/видео.htmlsi=0orN7YDwQpMttRSG

@@J.Lulo_ thank you, you are very helpful 🙏

I’ve definitely heard about that method with some guys I’ve worked with. One time I was asked to blend the door on a work truck because my boss didn’t want to clear coat the whole door because it had a lot of damage and we wanted to color match the new fender we where putting on the truck and painting. The blend I did actually came out pretty good and the color matched perfectly so sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

@@J.Lulo_ I used a Rattle can Duplicolor on my hood and deck panel. Between the first and second coat I used 6K sand paper lightly to smooth out the hot spots. Then I used two coats of Eastwood clear coat. The color matches and after wet sanding with 3000 and 5000 and polishing it still doesn't have the shine. I ran out of options.

You might have to use regular clear coat and not aerosol. The aerosol clear works pretty good for small jobs but for big panels like a hood and a deck lid you might want to use regular clear coat that gets sprayed with a spray gun if want a good shine.

You want to apply the blender immediately after your last coat of clear.

Thank you 🙏 for the kind words I appreciate it. And don’t feel bad it ok to mess up sometimes that’s how you learn.

That works just as good. The aerosol method is just more convenient and for people that don’t have a paint system and want to do a DIY job.

@@J.Lulo_ ya I used a couple good aerosol I used a house brand through Sherwin williams fast line DO NOT use that at any cost it cost me $600 In rework

I will work on that thanks 🙏 for the comments. I appreciate your interest in my content and opinions.

Thank you 🙏 for the kind words I appreciate it. Here is a link to the video I made explaining everything about blending clear coat.Link👉ruclips.net/video/NeN5ySa31yI/видео.htmlsi=bFC81Jypid77K6m8

Thank you 🙏 for the kind words I appreciate it.

The mist and overspray evaporates into the clear when you use the right kind of hardener in your clear coat.

Thank you 🙏 for the kind words I appreciate it.

What are you trying to clean up? I need to know exactly what is the problem so that I can give you a good answer.

Your welcome 🙏

Thank you 🙏 for the kind words I appreciate it. Yes, where ever your going to spray your new clear coat the area has to be sanded. You should never and cannot paint over a un- sanded surface.

@@J.Lulo_ thank you for the reply much appreciated…..yes for the new clear coat I know it has to be sanded but for the spot blender does the surface have to be scuffed wet sanded are can it just be sprayed on original clear ???

The blender can just be sprayed on the original clear. That’s exactly the idea of the blend. You stop the new clear on the sanded surface and then spray the blender on the new clear and the original clear which creates the seamless blend.

Will do 👍

I will do a polishing video. Thank you 🙏 for the kind words I appreciate it.

Thanks 🙏 triggerman I will definitely work on a polishing video.

Yes definitely 👍. I used a Home Depot Husky brand 20 gallon air compressor.

Thanks 🙏 for the kind words I appreciate it. And to answer your question, iam not sure if it’s required to have 1.5 CFM but I do know that you need to have at least 20 psi coming through the spray gun, so that spray gun applies the material properly.

P800

Thank you 🙏 for the kind words I appreciate it. I used 1000 grit sand paper and a grey scotch brite.

You can use 800 but I prefer using 1000 grit sand paper.

I got you 😉

Yes it should be.

I am not sure what the smallest compressor you can use is, but I do know that you want to get at least 20 psi out of the spray gun to get a proper spray pattern.

Thank you 🙏 for the kind words I appreciate it.

You apply the blender right after you spray your last coat of clear coat. I will be making a video about the right time to apply the blender. Keep an eye out for that video. If you’re not subscribed consider subscribing and turn on your notifications to know when I post a new videos.

@@J.Lulo_ Awesome. Thanks for the info!

You’re welcome 🙏.

If it’s a solid color than maybe someone can show you the paint panel chips from the paint system and maybe there is a similar color in the system that might work. If they have the mix in the Axalta system they should be able to make mix as much as you need. Good luck.

@@J.Lulo_ thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. It's a metallic, but I'll get there. Keep making videos. I found yours very interesting.

Thank you 🙏 for the kind words I appreciate it.

I don’t recommend doing a spot repair on a panel with no edge. It’s better just to clear the whole panel at that point. On bumpers I’ll do a blend anywhere I can find a good spot to make the blend disappear. But on a big flat panel with no edge your better off clearing the whole panel.

@@J.Lulo_ Thank you! 👍

You’re welcome 🙏.

That’s exactly right. You have to start somewhere and practice makes perfect. 👍

You’re welcome 🙏.

Your welcome 🙏

Well it depends how you spray it and the temperature that you’re painting in. If I can I’ll try to make a video explaining why this happens. Thank you 🙏 for commenting and watching my videos I appreciate it.

Clear coat is not the same as blender. Blender is a transparent base coat and clear coat is the final top coat that protects the paint and gives the car a beautiful finish.

@@J.Lulo_ I think they used to call this top coat blender on the older cars. The pressure had to be around 70lbs and you pretty much had to run to keep it from running. This was back in the late '6's

Cool 😎 I love to learn how things were done before. Thanks for the info. I’ve heard a tun of stories of how things were done back when paint use to be acrylic enamel and single stage. It’s interesting but also seemed a little more complicated to deal with.

Dent pullers required that you use a screw in the panel and a pick hammer. If you use a pick hammer it's going to go through. Then if the metal was stretched you warmed the high spots with a torch and then a rag with cold water too shrink it. Then grind then bondo, then thick sand able primer several coats and then an air sandere that required 100lbs pressure, then a thin coat of primer which you would knock the top off before painting. I still think the new way is more complicated. You are an artist. I forgot then after painting and top coat blender you used buffing compound.

Thank you 🙏 for the kind words I appreciate it.

80 grit on a 8” hug will cut down that material like a boss. lol 😂

@@J.Lulo_ My big DA Polisher with 80 grit does big panels areas fast. It's the recesses and small areas that take me all the time.

Yeah that’s how it usually is. For that you can use your 6” da and it should work fine.

You’re welcome 🙏. Thank you 🙏 for watching and commenting I appreciate it.

No that spray is not formulated for base coat. I have other videos that show you what blender to use for base coat. Here’s the link to my video on blending base coat RUclips link 👉ruclips.net/video/e0HRcgbAOhQ/видео.htmlsi=BnLLwcD1QPAv-JaP. Or you can go to my channel page and check out the rest of my videos on how to paint cars.

@@J.Lulo_ thank you

Your welcome 🙏

Yes, sometimes you have to tint a little to dial in the color. A little bit of black and a little bit of yellow can help adjust the white base coat if the base coat color is too white. But make sure to make a panel to check the color as you make your adjustments. Once you’ve dialed in your white base coat apply your pearl coat and clear coat and check your final color to get the most accurate match.

Thank you 🙏 for the kind words I appreciate it.
