Alright man I'm gonna try and help you out best i can here, i do this for a living but my work is mainly classic car restoration. Starting with primer you should always spray with 1.7-2.0 fluid nozzle and you are ok to lay it on wet just give it time to flash off before applying second coat. Never go above 220 as the material needs a deeper stratch for adhesion, most primers require 180-240. As for your sanding process you can go 400 after 220 BUT it's better to hit it with the sander as you'll remove the previous sand scratches much easier and also orbital scratches get filled by paint much better. You also need to invest in guide coat so that you'll see if primer is fully sanded out, also need sanding blocks whether it be something like dura block or a soft foam type because you just taking the paper by hand to the panel without any backing can leave finger indentations on the sanded surface
30 years ago, I was an 18 year old with a red GMC TRACKER. Your video reminded me of when I painted it in my grandmothers garage. I learned a lot. You brought back some nice memories for me. Great work. I have a lot of respect of DIY people. Take care.
Tips to help, you don't necessarily need to prime the car if you just sand off the 400 unless its a crazy color change which in this case I could see but if want to save even more money. Go the length of the car when passing and you want a 70 percent overpass, common misconception is 50 percent over pass. Use red scotch brite for jams and more difficult areas, easier then a folded piece of sand paper. Keep gun parallel with the panel, if it curves, curve with it. Take your time on your passes, you don't need to rush through them, about 1 foot per a second. You'll get better with time but your doing amazing, you gained another sub, keep up the work!
Love the videos bro. Your stuff really inspires me to want to get into more DIY stuff with my own car. Really cool how you take feedback from the comments on the processes that you're still learning. Not a lot of people are humble enough to "know what they don't know" so to speak and take feedback well from people with more experience. Can't wait for the next video!
Damn man, I did this every day in a controlled environment with a commercial sized air compressor. And your doing this outside. This shit is so sick. Much respect
Got this channel recommended, got more knowledge about spray painting a car and if I’m being honest it was probably the best thing I’ve ever seen. Subscribed to you bro Ggs
@korosumyself also, you don't want primer to get wet either. It's like a sponge and we'll soak it up just like the Bondo will. Dupli-Color makes a primer sealer that works amazing. Spray can, it's like eight or nine dollars at O'Reilly's Auto Parts.
15:05 when masking its easier to back mask and then put paper or plastic. pretty much grab a huge strand of tape and line the edges but sticky side towards you on the inside of the door. then grab paper and put tape on the top of it. then you stick tape to tape and its easier and quicker to line everything up
Nice job overall! I have several recommendations. 1. If you can find a place with a spray booth, maybe rent a booth for the day you need to spray the base or clear for final to minimize dirt nibs and bugs. 2. Use Spectrum PPS system 3. harbor Freight Fortress ultra quiet 26 gallon one works very well and is super quiet. 4. Adhesion promoter for plastic parts that got sanded through bare plastic. Good luck and keep up the good work!
Think it's cool how you don't keep out all the events of the days that come with working on cars, cause weather you're working on your car or not life goes on around you and things can come up that intervene with your process. Gives your videos more character and it's enjoyable to see what happens next, maybe not for people trying to use your videos as tutorials.
W video I love how you listened to my last comment and explained everything and every thought process thoroughly throughout the whole video keep it up!
Got all my materials, all budget friendly. I plan to make videos like this to b/c you inspired me to do junkyard builds and fixing up cars. Its just like building legos but for grownups.
I'm with you brotha, take off as much as you can even if mostly taping off, even the mirrors get in the way and can help lead to runs, elevate the car to get better coverage down low. Also may want to consider dipping cars, cost of paint probably comes out similar after you have their spray gun but is a quarter of the preparation effort, and if you change your mind you can either peel it off or simply spray over it 👌
Ahh plastidip, my brother did his entire civic with black dip before and I’m not sure if I was feelin it, looked too dull for my taste haha but unique for what it was!
I feel you man, only some of those colors look good matte but they do have gloss top coats that seem to mimic clear. I've got some Integras for sale that I'm excited to test it out and love the idea I can focus more on repairs than paint prep and doesn't even have to be clear coated but more like 800 + grit level of smooth. Fun to experiment!
You were saying that priming the whole car wasn’t necessary but you were doing a complete color change from red to white so priming the entire car was the correct thing to do otherwise you would be taking a chance of white looking pink because certain colors don’t cover or have the pigment in it to cover .
Really enjoy your videos bro! Just out here DIY home vids. Just something so cool about it, idk. Keep going bro. You’re a dope vibe and just a straight up dude by the looks of it. Wish I could straight up change the color of my car in New Zealand but it’s a mish.
The purple hvlp spray gun is considered to be a good spray gun that when it's on sale can be gotten for $10 or if you need it now it's $16. It's so cheap that some people just buy a new one after every car project instead of cleaning it. It's wasteful to do that but if you value your time just factoring another $16 dollars before tax into the paint job isn't much in the grand scheme of things. They also have on the next sale coming in june a random orbit sander for $15 and a da polisher for $40 so if you want to start with a decent polisher i'd wait till next month and get the polisher and the paint sprayer for $56 before tax and have a decent start into painting minus the air compressor. If you don't want to use the da for sanding you can add the random orbit sander so the da stays cleaner. Also if you want cheap paint you should look into farm implement paint since it's pretty cheap and also pretty forgiving and can go on bare metal if you just want something to prevent rust and add color at once.
first of your video ive ever watched. Love it man. Love the chill aspect of it. The comedic relief every now and then is definitely a breath of fresh air. Love the content man. Appreciate the list of pricing!
When painting a car if you are changing color spray the whole car in primer like you did but if your respraying it the color it is or a different shade of that color you don't need to prime the whole car and the reason is if the car is red like this one and you spray it white any body work that has been primered Will show up lighter than the red base of the old paint and will actually require more paint to get rid of that blotchiness costing more than if you primered then base coat
Did a spray can job on a 96 dodge van 2 weeks ago. All supplies - tape/plastic tarp/primer/rustoleum paint came to about $260. Your job came out WAY better but Im doing an arizona tea can theme so Im going to hand paint on the cherry blossoms. Hoping I can get a better finish after I clear it and it cleans up some mistakes
Its my first time watching your video, im very impressed. If you're doing such a great job outside, can you imagine when you get the shed or booth up and running?
@@korosumyself Looking at all the things you're doing on your channel, I KNOW you'll do good at wrapping. The prep work is the same, but all you need is the wrap and like $60 worth of tools and you're good to go. It's all down to how you tuck in the edges. You should try it!
I wouldn't recommend spray cans. Did a 3"ish" stage pearl restoration on a carbon hood (2k clear -> Pearl -> 2k clear) The cost of the paint cans could've probably painted 1/2+ of the car with a spray gun. Great option though if you don't have a compressor handy.
New sub! This was a very good video and thank you for showing the tools and prices, I am thinking about getting a spray gun too will be doing my car in 2 weeks, but unfortunately I'll be doing it outside.. thanks for the tip about the bugs too!
I know how it is when you paint outside every time I'm out there I gotta deal with the wind or the rain In pollen season Or the weather is getting too cold
What other colors are best like white? I am guessing anything light? How often do you shake off the sand paper or change the paper when doing a car? I just picked up a DA polisher / sander at Harbor Freight for $39 on sale.
About to tackle my challenger . . . . with JET BLACK 😭 with dents. In my garage though so . . . hopefully, no bugs. Top job tho, man! Well done. I got tired just looking at this dam process.
sending by hand is again a big no-no.. you need a block then wrap your 400grit around it and send "by hand" or just use vibration sender shaped like a block and do 220-400 and then wet sand the primer with 1500grit this time you can go by hand but let the paper do the work

holy shit, I was going homework and the spray sounds was pure ASMR, i was drooling dead asleep
Much respect bro🤙🏾 .with a HIGH chance of anything that could of gone terribly Wrong painting in an environment like that ! Gotta give it to you.💪🏾✊🏾
I recommend using a hardener in ur paint. Especially when painting outside. It will cure way faster
Your content motivated me to finally start working on my own car, keep up the great content my guy!!!
Its always a good time when I see my boi post another video!

Nice paint job brother,can't wait to see your next onr.
you are growing fast on this platform, keep it going soon, you'll have 100k
I know right, bro has been making videos since like 2016 used watch him all the time when I was building my EX
@@ZON3. he fasho gonna make it hope we all join the yt life and make it out like our manz
Great video! I've been slowly getting the confidence to spray. I've started doing headlights..but this is next..
I bought an Aircat pneumatic impact to take the crankshaft bolt out for my crv timing belt replacement and i can tell you it was worth every cent
Dang thats pretty sweet great job
Crazy to see how much this channel has grown! Almost 50k!
Just about what I'm looking for. Great Job! Will use this as a guide as I'll be spraying my dsm next month
awesome work for a budget spray paint job might do this on my 97 Integra one day
Great video. This is also good prep to take to a cheap place like Maaco. I did this prep exactly and my Maaco painted over it nicely.
Yeah I was thinking Maaco could do it as well and for the same price lol I just like to be hands on with my stuff
Great video. Thanks for the tutelage 🙏🏾
Great work brother, love the beats too in The back ground. Stay up! 🏴☠️
waiting for a spray can vid 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Another quick tip is to spray the center of the roof and/or hood first and work your way out to the sides

Before spraying you can spray water around the car because it helps leaving all the dirt and debris
Nevermind just reached the end of your video and you just said it
