    These paint DIY videos are fantastic. As others have mentioned 99% don't have spray booths etc. but with some guidance and practice one can get good results. I bought an old fender from a wrecking yard and I'm using it to practice on. One can sand, put a dent in it, repair it, prime and paint etc. on it. Then go for it on your project car.

    I can't thank you enough Brian, for your videos. I've watched probably 20 by now; you are a GREAT teacher. That's a skill that is deeply under-appreciated these days. I watched your first video to solve a problem of mine - now, I'm watching your vids for edu-tainment. Not only are you a great communicator & teacher, you're interesting also. This channel deserves a great deal more subs and likes. With content like this, I can see in time Paint Society becoming THE authority for painting on RUclips. Especially with DIY-at-home content like this.

    Thank you so much Brain... I feel so blessed to have a teacher like you on RUclips and I am learning a lot of stuff related to painting and this is going to help me a lot since I have already started to paint on my own and I've successfully painted a Royal Enfield Motorcycle which came out like the best job in my city here... I'm sort of trying to save some money at the moment so I can setup my own garage or paint booth through which I can make a good life and look after my wife and son. Thank you very much for your videos and hopefully I am planning to make some of the videos of my work too.. Learning from you as much as possible.. Really thank you... You're a very good teacher.

    It did start out a little stressful.

    cutting my prep time down and eliminating trash or dust getting in my diy booth.

    Ive sprayed a bit in the past, not much, but most results ive have not been happy with. I am currently getting things together to respray my car, i was not that confident after previous attempts at panels ive done, like i said, have been shit, faded colour, cracking clear coat etc. But going through this channel and watching the vids, i can pretty much see where ive gone wrong in the past with everything. Which is good, it means i know where i went wrong, so i wont be doing that again.
    A big thanks to this channel, you have installed some confidence in me, hopefully i can report back in a few months time and say, and even bigger thanks.

    If you use card board with print on a box that has a shiney finish. Most modern packaging. The shiny side is great for filler mixing. Doesn't absorb the chemicals in the filler, like in raw card board.
    The raw chemicals seeping into raw cardboard. Just deminishes the compound of the filler. Great video

    20:26 I only sprayed primer surfacer on the repair areas for now. The rest of my car still has some flaking clear coat but I plan to tackle the flaking paint after I fix the dents.
    My question is: Will I have to sand the primer surfacer down to the filler on the repair areas before I spray the rest of the car with primer surfacer?
    Appreciate the help from any professional as I know paint society doesn't always answer our questions because he's very busy.

    PREP: (my notes for when I prep my car)
    1. Smooth out bad clear coat using stick sanding blocks with p180 grit sticky sandpaper
    2. Body filler low places for me on upper door trim, etc. knock down ridges and surface with 80 grit until smooth, go back and add any more body filler if needed, sand again.
    3. Next, use 180 grit to cut through the clear and sand down the entire car. Making sure to sand the car to an even dullness, going back over shinier spots
    3. After cutting with the 180 grit and a quick rinse, it is ready to be gone back over with 320 grit, sanding the car to an even smoothness.
    4. The car is now ready to be cleaned off for the primer. Use an auto move paint prep cleaner or glass clean, soap etc to completely wipe off any dust or particles on the car. This ensures that the primer is laid down directly on top of the smooth surface without any dust and sand in between.
    5. Begin masking off the car, in between the crevices of the door jams, window sills, wheel wells, lights, and drape the painters plastic over the car and cut the plastic accordingly to fit the windows and wheels
    6. Once the car is completely masked off, go panel by panel spraying 2 medium coats of primer with a 75% overlap. Make sure to spray at a consistent and even pace and 15 minutes in between coats.
    8. Once the primer has sat for at least 24 hours, you are ready to sand the primed panels with 600 grit

    I work in 3rd world country garage where we have no electricity to power tools or anything and everything is expensive the go to process always the same. Clear the rust by sanding them down with 80 grit then sand the dints or the damage with 150 the polyester putty first coat it then sand it to see if it’s level up the primer spray them and sand it with 400 grit finish of the panel or the area with 1200 and 2000 grit and paint it (all wet sanding cause we can’t afford to by gloves or masks) 🤙

    Nice job! But why didn't you just remove the door handles?

    Hey Brian, when will we get your Top 5 spray guns for each of your three tiers? I am about to pull the trigger on buying a higher tier gun, just trying to get as much info possible before before forking over $300-$500...

    Brian I was refinishing my doors yesterday and I would like to clarify something. Sun was beating on passenger side door and wrinkled up. Driver side door looked good . This was epoxy sealer over bare metal. Prolly means that I should have used slower reducer for passenger side door since metal was hot from sun beating on it.? Passenger side door metal temp was 86 and driver side was 62. Taken with temp gun. It was 55 degrees outside. Surface was clean. I’m just trying to figure out what happened here. Lol

    It’d be awesome if you could do an episode on rock chips on the hood
