Jerry the sheet metal and auto body magician showing the tricks of the trade. Thank you Jerry for a superb demonstration of the purpose of a guide coat.
Absolutely a very important step in autobody work Jerry I use Guide coat and what a difference I have learn so many things watching 👀 you for about 5 year's now and always learning something different all the time thank you for what you do brother
Just scuff with the red scuff pad and paint - Mirka 18-118-447 You can sand it too if you want DA (320) or hand sand w/ 320-400 wet - paper wont clog as easy wet sanding.ruclips.net/video/BD4txPwjsfI/видео.html
I noticed your touch up body putty was feathered over primer. Any problems there with retention later? Also do you have a video about fixing common painting problems like dust, bugs and runs?
I scuffed my existing door, primed 2 coats after sanding lightly, and a few small areas of old paint came through. Am I okay to paint once I've smoothed out with guide coat?
Yes - as long as it's been sanded with fine paper like 320-400 grit and any bare metal spots were touched up - you can hit them with spray bomb primer if you want :)
I used JB Weld in this video and it's perfect to this day - ruclips.net/video/wRl1QfkrBeY/видео.html Only reason I like the SEM is it's impact resistant - don't have to be careful at all when knocking down the seam. I think you'll be fine though - esp. since the JB worked :)
New to all this, I feel like I need to load up the panel with black to see anything, my inexperience shows here and I find it very difficult to understand the process of getting the panel flat. I tend to sand and then all of a sudden I'm at metal Do you have any tips for doing this on curved fenders (I'm working on an rx7 FD) Thanks again
First, make sure you are using automotive grade primer surfacer - it builds thickness, You need a few heavy coats to be able to block sand out high and low spots. You don't need a lot of black paint - matter of fact you don't need a guide coat at all. Here's another vid that may help - ruclips.net/video/S8OzM13iwHA/видео.html Keep asking ?s, keep working and you'll be fine :)
In a body shop you'll see guys start with 80 sometimes - move to 120 - etc. You have to be fast to make money as you get paid by the job - commission. But... you find out that it makes body work a lot easier in the end. Like building a house - start with the heavy equipment like bulldozers, etc. and end up with super nice finish work.
@@LakesideAutobody I've been a production paint tech for 30 years. My biggest commission week was 250 paint hours on my own without a preper. I am finally starting to get paid prime and block from most insurance companies. Years ago I would block my primer with 180 now days I use 320 but it feels more like 220. I'm very picky with my body guys if it doesn't pass my hand inspection it goes right back to them.
@@LakesideAutobody I have bodywork to do, but instead Im wasting my time looking at emojis. That should tell you how much I enjoy bodywork. Thankfully you have taught me enough that I can do a nice job! ThxQ. I found it!🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

Love your videos! I have a new tailgate that was shipped with a glossy black finish. Do I need to sand it or prime it before painting it?

Thanks, no bare metal just some older scuffed paint of the same color. Great videos
What are your thoughts on using the 3M 08115 vs the panel adhesive you use. Yours is approximately twice the cost.

@@LakesideAutobody sorry, I meant one of your past videos. I'm installing full quarters on my 70 Nova.

Thanks a bunch! I'll give this a watch.
120 grit seems very agressive for sanding primer

Can you prime over 220 grit ?
Yes
