The cardboard trick is genius. I wish I would have thought to do that years ago. Thanks Gabe. Great blend by the way. I love your videos
+Justin Johnson thanks so much haha!!
Beautiful clear blend job. This really saves alot of time and materials. The guy that used to work for me had worked for Mercedes in their paint shop. They did it the exact same way. Thanks for sharing this information. Take care.
+Steve Janka thanks brother!!
This was great and it cleared up a lot of my uncertainties seeing how you used sanding to make the blend look smooth. Thanks!
Good job well done.
Basically what your saying is only use top coat on the repair area, not on the blend area?
On the repair you used 500 then 800 and so on...
In the blend area rather than using 1000 could you not of used 3000 all the way to the blend area?!?
Yes !
This is excellent this what I've been trying to attempt. Thanks
O man thats a really good job, even the bend! Thats make you one of the best out there !
Keep up the good work Gabriel!
+Jeffrey Krijnen haha thanks so much man!! I try my best brother!
Gabe that is a top notch blend right there, I do blends almost on a daily basis and although there ok they ain’t as nice as that, quality work my friend and great tips as always👌🏼#motivatedpaintersfamily💙
+richiet74 love you bro!
A great explanation of much derided process, when done correctly like this the results speak for themselves. As you say Gabi think out your process before starting the repair, know where you want all stages to be and using good gun control be precise in relation to your prepped areas. Keep up the great work, feliz ano nuevo hermano.
+Andy Smartrepairpro thanks so much brother!!!!!!! Much love!!!
thanks so much for your videos maybe you should make that one over again it was difficult to see what was going on .
Awesome how that came out..master class as always..i learn of every vid..and i apply al the tricks and they work..cuidate mucho.
So going to be trying that cardboard trick, looks so helpful when you're doing these kinds jobs 3 times a day!
Thanks!
+Ben Tape that's right!!
Thank you for your video brother, merry Christmas and God bless
+Ipolei & Ikaika Diaz thank you! Merry Christmas!!
great tip! thank you....Awsome job as always
+Kamil Darek thank you!!
Thanks great info and ill put the info to use. I need to dust in some poly clear where i sprayed it a little light or not at all on base with hardener. I plan on using the cardboard method for a soft edge and wet sanding the over spray. The clear is now 24 hrs old. Ppg says you can topcoat with scuffing after 24. Like any time whole panel or can you spot? Well see. Full restoration 66 chevelle on my channel whole rest of the paintjob is really good other option is a full wet-sand reclear. This car wont see more than 10 days outside a year. Great stuff thankyou for all your videos i watched and how they help build confidence. A 66 chevelle is a big canvas!
Really thank you. I need repair my bumper and i want do it myself. Your video gave me possibility to learn how i must do it in my garage.
Booommm your welcome !
Piotr Nowak Did you ever repair your bumper?

Hey Gabriel, did you give time for your clearcoat to flash before you put your second coat or did you put your second coat of clear immediately?
Hey gabe awesome vid man thanks. In my shoo we use envirobase ppg too which blender do you use?
+marcus jenkins spray max blender 😊
Nice job came out nice
+pharraway thanks my bro!!!
Very helpful thank you
Thanks !
Awesome video !!!!
Thank you!!
Hey Gabriel, did you end up wet sanding 5000 or did you do your blend on top of the 3000?, I couldn’t tell by the video if you ended up going with 5000 grit after the 3000?
Can you provided me the link in order to get the magnetic tape holder
Thanks for your support!
www.collisionedge.com
Nice tip with the masking tape for the edges. Sometimes I use 2" tape then the green to edge mask. Nice job. Came out fantastic
I know im asking randomly but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account??
I stupidly lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Antonio Dominik Instablaster :)
@Beau Kyle thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Beau Kyle It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out !
@Antonio Dominik glad I could help =)
Awesome!!! What can primer and blender do you use??
+360SKETCH did you watch the video my friend ? I used spray max priner and blender 😀😀
What is the blender brand please?
Home many blender coats did you put?
Geat job as usual. just wanted to tell you that the way you explain things is is very clear and i understand you better than most videos About the blending agent you us? do you use it just with metalics or any blend.
+William Nickels thanks so much man!!! It's called spray max it's my favorite blender! I use it with all clear coats
I think i understand know. it is used to help the clear coat not so much the base. and your welcome.
hay nice job on the melt in where did you get that orange blower for water base
+Roy Butko I'm going to have them soon on my website
Hello Mr. Merino I have been watching your videos for some time, great information! Perhaps you can answer a question for me. I am trying to figure out how to touch up some custom stripe work on my car, the base color is red obsession and the stripe is pearl white both are GM colors. I have sanded the damaged area with 600 and the surrounding area with 1500 and further out with 2500 grit. How long should I wait once the base is painted to tape of for the stripes?
Please let me know! Thanks!
There is no way of telling but should be few hours and you should be good!
Thank you so much for the reply I just didn't want to peel off the tape and ruin the work
Thanks again
Hello how are you? Very good to your videos thanks for sharing. What headset are you using? Thank you!
Thanks ! Sata vision 5099
5000
Excellent grade 👍
Gabriel, where do you get 1000 Trizact discs from for an random orbital sander?? I'm having a hard time in NS locating it. I have no problem finding the 3000, but I'd love to get hold of the 1000 and 2000.
Finishmaster will have it
I do a lot of these in a very similar way. Good job. What's prime wash? Also how did you convince your boss to buy the green 3m tape lol
+Daniel Green haha we have always had the green 3M tape that's all we have ever used. Prime wash it's a deegreser we use it's made by caksco
You can use bingo stickers for those sensor holes too
Nice Trick 👌
Hey Gabe I have a question for you. I have blending question for you. I have blending solvent and I wanna know if it is meant to be used in mixing with base and clear to spray or is it ready to spray when blending? The manufacturer instructions are not clear on use of their product.
Not sure brother I have never used what you are using so you know more than I do. You don't have to use blending solvent for base though just for clear
One day I will visit your shop
Nail cut. Yea we definitely are not all created equal.
Do you wet sand 3000 all the way to the edge of the plastic or do you leave a "small" strip of OEM clear?
3000 until where I'm going to apply the blender
Nice!
Where you get that tape holder idk how I still don’t know 😮
whooah the magnetic tape tidy like weres that been all my life!? ill make some tomorow nice repair gabe what make is the tape?
+spencer moon the tape is 3M but you can purchase the tape thing at www.collisionedge.com
oh cool never seen the green but it seemed sturdy cheers gabe ill make some tape carriers tommorow ive got lots of super strong magnets and pipe ect ect.. at my workshop im a bit of a mad inventer great idea! shame about ye batteries going on the vid i dont often get results as good as that with the blender and that stuff is my bread and butter ye talented git! hahaa always looking to improve my technique,s cheers have a great day buddy!
+spencer moon awesome man!!!! 😊😊😊
ha haa brilliant gabe i wish you lots of peace and loadsa happiness this chrismas my cyber buddy !!!!
+spencer moon thanks my friend like wise to you!!!
Hey bro what kind of spray booth is that on this video
In the shop where I worked to learn paint and body we did what they called a “ burn “ very similar to what you did there but we didn’t use blender , the problem we had with a burn was after it was buffed our it looked great but a few months later the blend area would show back up .
+MrFireman164 right yeah. Blender helps with that
No it doesn't... the blend area returns because the clear melter/blender solvent has no UV protection. It will fail sooner or later. Do not do a repair like this if you work at a shop that has a lifetime guarantee. This is how you repair a 15 year old junk car in a driveway. Not the way a newer benz should be repaired. Turnout great, but it will end up failing over time.
+fwh79 yes sir! Thanks for the comment! The customer is always right.
You're welcome. I hear ya man... been in the industry for 20 years, painting for the last 14 years now. Gotta love the... shop management, owner(s), fellow employees, insurance companies, customers, paint or material reps, missing time on the sheets, insanely low labor rates (by the way... I love how used paint thinner is classified as "hazardous waste"... where is my HAZARD PAY??? Keep breathing that poison!), being told I can "make it up in volume" when I explain that there is not enough repair time on a sheet, hearing about how a customer has run out of their rental and need their car back asap (like it's my fault that they didn't get rental coverage... way to be an adult customer with no rental coverage), cycle time, MATERIAL COSTS (I don't set the pricing on materials... sorry guys, I just paint the car), how I need to come in early and stay late (which bodymen almost never do, which is also usually WHY the shop needs me to stay late. Bodymen love to bring cars over on thursday and friday so... I can just stay late to make up for their short comings concerning time management while they go home to their families at 5:00), and all the other things you can't control/constantly lose money on that are not your fault, even though everyone thinks it is. Oh yeah... and you have to have the artistic TALENT to paint a car without messing it up on top of all of that! You did a great job in this video and I hope you are being taken care of where ever you work. Happy holidays to you and your family and good luck to you in 2018. Sorry about my rant... this industry really knows how to make my blood boil some times. I'm sure you and many of your subs know exactly what I'm talking about. But hey guys... any monkey can paint a car.
+fwh79 HAHAHA oh man I glad you can let it all out man! We got to focus on the things we CAN control and kick butt that's for sure!! Merry Christmas brother!!😊😊😊
What is the blender after the clear coat
Came out perfect.. what blending additive did you use?
+thakrazyone it's called spray max I put the part number in the description
Would that cardboard trick work with spray can bed liner?
Try it haha
Nice work.. what is the name of the blender spray you used?
Spray max 1k spot blender
yea bro, beautiful blend right there ! I'm a fair burning in clear myself ,but that looks great !! can not emphasize enough though what you said is true, make sure you spray away from where you are burning in your clear or boom! problems lol !!
We have the same waterborne system you use and I'm having trouble with an 800j color code the base is always to light what do you recommend me do? And what do you do because I'm sure you to tint it as well. Thanks in advance
+zay gomez hey brother I usually look at the chips and go from there. I have a playlist on white pearls you might find helpful. I rarely tint them but just look for the best chip. But if you are having issues with it beeing to bright you can leave half of the white out if the formula and go from there.
I have found that the red variant matches the base really well, done quite a few of those, red variant has always worked
Zay, check your specials. There are some good variants in there. Also, you may want to spray 800J over g3 instead of g1 g shade. Can help the ground coat from being too light.
would you be worried to blend out the clear on a black roof?
I would not do that my friend I don't think is a good idea
I've heard that a clearcoat blend can start to become visible a few months/years down the road. Is that true?
I haven't had any issues with spraymax 1k blender
Focused! You are a beast/Npjs
+Ricardo Gonzalez thanks my bro!
best gun man pease
Hte base 1.3
Hello Gabe.. happy New year.. how durable is a blend like this?
+Lupe Villarreal on the side of the bumper it pretty durable few years in my opinion. If the sun is beating up on it then not long
MOTIVATED PAINTERS thank you for the info and super fast reply I know you try and get to all of your questions. I dread the day you cannot keep up..
+Lupe Villarreal haha me too my friend me too 😢
🤣 the job turned out nice do. keep them coming 👨🏫👨🎓💎
+utbolgt2 thank you!!!
What type of blender do you use on the clear to melt the edges
1k spray max blender
Is the ventilation fan an integral part of the presentation?
Should be
Is any posible way to fix the camera problem or make another video?
That information was fantastic at the beginning.
Thanks a lot !! I'll make another video !
What towels do you use with your waterborne cleaner ?
I don't like them they are torx and I use PPG sex350 as water cleaner
Great video. I learned a couple of things. Thank you.
Glad to hear that! Thank you!
Gabe, did you ever do another "blow in /smart repair video? I am fast but the ending on this is just a bit too fast for me ;)
Thanks for your video but please can u reply when u change the camera because we lose all your pictures and information
As for that magnate tool tape from where we can buy it ??????
+Alane Atika I don't understand your question my friend
+Alane Atika you can buy it from www.collisionedge.com
I mean when the camera goes speed I don’t know where u stop base coat and where u stop line pland and clear coat
hi gabe what blender did you use? not sure i heard it in the video
+barney dog 1k spray max blender it's called
works better than some of the aerosol blenders i have tried! thanks gabe
3:54 Like scales on a snake. If you ever pet a snake, on direction, the scales are smooth, the other directions becomes scratchy. Like petting a dog or a cat the wrong way. I dunno how else you would put it though either lol.
Good brother
Pls can I spray (2k clear coat) on a (2k base coat)?? Pls I need your answer
Yes just sand it and do itb
That’s some new level talent!! Only a few jobs that came out good for me. with the blend spray can .
+Luis Martines this spray max blender works amazing!
wow so much work for such a small repair , how much would you charge for that?
you are amazing btw
Shop would charge 200
Thank you!!!
Can I mist with reducer from a finishing gun instead of using the blending spray in a can?
You can but you will not get the best results
Wow thanks for the quick reply, you’re awesome! The whole car is wet-sanded to 2000G and the blend will be sanded to match, then compounded together. Should I bother with blending spray at all? Thx so much for your valuable time..!
Yes you should but you can always do a test panel on an old part and see how it would work
I couldn’t get blend spray so I used reducer with your technique, it worked out really well and will finish perfectly. Also I never thought to purposely blow away from the repair with both base and clear, what a difference! Thanks again man
Where can I buy one of your paint dryers/ windjet?
+asheetuglasse hello brother I don't have them available yet! I will make a video when I do!
Is this method ok to do on a black finish?
Yup
great advice bro. one thing, try and get the camera to point where your hands are. I know it's probably hard but just an observation. Thanks for all the videos
+Chuck Cardot I try my friend it try you have no idea
+MOTIVATED PAINTERS I know, I just wanna be able to see all that you are doing. you have some great tips, can't wait to try them tomorrow at my shop.
+MOTIVATED PAINTERS what is the blender you use? I use the one choice and I actually hate how it works and looks. I will definitely order the stuff you use tomorrow if my jobber has it.
+Chuck Cardot spray max 1k blender
HI YOU ARE VERY VERY GOOD
So....
800 grit on repair and base paint area.
1000 grit on transition area where clear coats ends and 3000 grit area begins.
3000 grit area and edge of the clear coat is covered with blender.
Absolutely no base on the transition and blender area.
I think I got that correct? I have a small bumper repair I want to DIY. This video definitely helps.
Exacto!!!!
When doing a smart repair, do you clear past where you sanded?
Nope you can clean very well and clear up to you 1000 and 3000 then blender
@@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS thanks. My edge looked good until it started to dry. Can it be wet sanded and buffed?
Yes unless you got base overspray. It won't polish perfect
@@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS what grit sandpaper would you recommend sanding it with?
3000
Gabriel did you enjoy the christmas party at budds colisions 😉
+kevin hekers you bet !😀
Bro what tape is that please
3m
Hey man, where do you that blower from?
www.motivatedpainters.com
Why not just west sand the spot use a fine line paint pen to touch up and polish the area to help blend? It wouldn't be perfect, but it wouldn't be noticeable on a scratch so low. You would have to be low and within a foot of the car to even notice. That's a lot of prep work for something so small
Only a master painter would say "you can sometimes hear a blend"
Hahahahaha
Adam Joel Only a master painter would accidentally take a time lapse video at the most important part 😆
Glad you watched 🥰🥰🥰
Well out of 10 videos I watched ,this was explained in detail how far to sand with what grade to blend with and where to to paint base,ad start first coat of clear ,then a little farther with 2nd coat and then the rest where its got 3000 use blending agent to melt the new with the old.I think I have it.
you need to fade out the clear the same way you fade base if you stop the clear in a line eventually as the paint gets older you going to see the clear line. how i was taught from ppg,sikkens an penta paint seminars is you need to fade out the clear the same way how you spray the blue.you put your two coats of clear normal but you fanning out the clear edge you not stopping at a line .then you mix enough clear hardener ,reducer add the same among of blender to the mix clear be like 1 to 1 mixture by doing this you thinned the clear down you then fan out the clear edge again then you take fade out thinner an just fan out the over spray of the clear. not sure if you understand this way but all this can be done an you not even crossing the corner of the bumper doing this way years now with no clear line. i use sikkens SRA FADE OUT THINNER AN SIKKENS BLENDING AGENT
insane amount of work put into something that wont last :-s .. why not clear the whole bumper ? .. with the time and materials it should even out . and im not talking about 3 wet coats on entire bumper ..
Video purposes and not everyone will have the luxury of "doing it right" thanks for the feedback in so glad you watched the video 😀
You spent most of this video on showing you mask the car . Then the part that matters .The paint and clear blending you rush thru it . WFT man . can you do another video on the actual blending and skip the masking please .
Sorry the free content didn't please your needs. Thanks for watching intently watch closer and you'll realize when I mentioned my video screw up. You make me a better person. Love you so much
nice nail cutting tecnique. ming blowing😲😂💪
+Jaime Rodriguez hahahaha ✌ magic!
speed 0.75 at 20 and some minutes
i don't understand, some painters say it's ok to paint base over 400 grit, some say, 500, 600, 800... but I never heard 1000 or above to paint over.
Do what work for you my friend! Also better safe than sorry but not base over 1000 just clear and blender yes is okay
thank you for the reply~ so much info out here. some say if it's too fine of grit the paint won't stick and could possibly peel. but i trust you man! obviously you do amazing work so you know what you're talking about! much love cheers!
Thanks so much brother
Bro I'm havin a hard time wit the blender situation
Look at the small repair playlist I have it might help
You should try to make more videos!
+Derek Warrack haha I wish I could mysfriend but it's very tine consuming I need to pay bills 😂
+Derek Warrack there are 160 videos for you to watch on my channel though 😀
MOTIVATED PAINTERS I hear you! Been watching since...around 1k subs. I like supporting a fellow Canadian painter!
+Derek Warrack thanks so much man!!!!!! I don't have many Canadians watching!
MOTIVATED PAINTERS all the way from sask. Enjoy the last bit of the weekend and keep up the good work
Dude, any chance you can redo this? Awesome as always but you screwed up the most important part! ;)
