I wonder how many people never watched this whole video because of the first 2 minutes
Hijo I almost clicked off
Hijo it's annoying to say the least
Hijo only the fools who rather not learn something new or learn a new way of doing something
I only watched the first 2 minutes.........
Yup, I was going to be one of them.
Hi. Just wanted to say a BIG thanks from the UK.
I've never sprayed paint before in my life but having watched your excellent and informative videos I decided to take a leap of faith and restore my old marked, dinted and battered Yamaha XT500 aluminium petrol tank. I watched many other people but kept on coming back to your advice and help every time. I made some mistakes along the way but you always have a remedy, which was brilliant. I took my time and now Ive saved hundred of £££ and have a filled and restored and painted tank to be proud of. And most of the credit is yours Dave; thanks very much and keep up the good work down under.....John
Great job in breaking down all the steps!
I love that you showed both the rotary and the DA. Bravo
Very informative video, you cover a lot of stuff others avoid. Thanks
Informative and well explained.....Thanks for posting.
Another entertaining, useful and informative video - thanks for your efforts - really enjoying these vids, and looking forward to getting my 2K set up operational.
I'm using a firefighters full-face chemical BA rig, running from two 232bar 12l scuba tanks via 10 metre whip hose(about three-four hours breathing time) - so there is zero chance of contaminants and no need to purchase a second compressor, triple coalescing filters etc, or worry about situating the compressor far enough away from 2K icocyenate fumes).
The BA rig ran me just £50 from ebay - and was tested and signed off as good by my bro who is the BA Rig test chap at the local airport fireservice :)
The two scuba bottles I have are from my diving days - I just need a convertor for the cylinder fittings from 300bar style to 232/200bar on rig, and away I go !
Sounds like a great idea!!
Just wondering how you go about refilling the scuba tanks? Do you take them to a scuba shop, will the do a refill no worries even if you don't have the diving cert.?
I briefly thought about using a regular air compressor but that wouldn't even come close, since those tanks need 3,000psi to fill, plus a clean air supply.
Very helpful, thank you!
Your videos are awesome easy to follow I took notes and I'm going to try your method thanks
As always, another great teaching vid ! Thanks !
Thank you for explaining it completely and showing it while you were doing it. After reading thousands of articles now I'm certain I have orange peel LOL. And I know how to get rid of it thank you for your wisdom and intelligent video
Excellent video.
I'm a student and I'm still learning all my projects have painted recently all got orange peel. Look like really dry spray I don't know, why I'm learning. Thanks for the video I'm going to follow your process to sand and buff it
Enjoyed watching... Thanks for the tips!
Well done mate. Great video. Love the intro.
He's the best.
Please send more such films with orange peel !!!
Helpful vid. Gonna try this on my fender when I respray it.
Thanks for the very useful video. Thinking of getting that 180mm multifunction polisher from SCA. Claims to have "DA function". Hope it's good!
Thank you so much. My truck has bad Orange peel or it was in a wreck and repaired I’m going to try this myself I sure hope I don’t hurt the clear coat any.
I thought it was pretty funny, thanks for the advice! Sprayed my own side skirts and bumpers and have a GOOD amount of orange peel since I used aerosol 2k clear. I’ve never wet sanded but buffed and polished the areas twice, they’ve improved and shine but I need them to match! Gonna try this soon
did you use a cutting compound or what ?
brilliant video,painting cars is hard work,you are a clever chap indeed,you really make the paint very shiny.however could i trouble you for your recipe for the orange peel cake,I think I could manage to make it,i'm a good little baker and i've never seen the like of that cake before,it does look yummy.thanks..
Yes you can.
You can spray for sure but you cant dig a hole! :-D
Yes
Nice that was helpful thanks.
Hey I have a lip kit for my car that was painted. But the shop didn't wet sand it. So in a few spots there is some orange peel. Im planning on using 1500grit and then 2000grit. The buffer i have is a variable speed simonize 7". I have a meguiars 2.0 foam pad. Do you think the foam pad i have can do the job? And all the other items i mentioned should be fine for the job?
Thanks! And great video!
Hey Dave, could you use as DA buffer with a wool or foam pad to get rid of the sanding marks?
great vid mate
For 1K acrylic paint we use wool as 1k Acrylic is thermoplastic and melts at a much lower temperature than 2K. Try testing it on a panel and feel the difference, the foam gets it hotter quicker when using a normal buff. The Bigfoot is a different story.. Getting this information from 3 different spray painters with more than 20 years experience.
Funny,and Good INFO,Thanks
ForcedFalcon Hey I know the problem your having but its hard without seeing the problem, It can happen on fibreglass sometimes. Try using an etch primer and spray very light coats. As for your air pressure its always best to spray a test panel to get your gun setup the way you want regardless of what people tell you. 2k clear can go over 1K as long as its a COB 1K this is called (2K basecoat). I went over that in the last video. If its an old style acrylic 1K then 2K clear will cause it to crack. Hope this helps. cheers
Thank you for a great and entertaining video. Can you please tell me if you can do the same on just the base coat (before clear) because I have me some nast orange on me hood. Thank you, Terry
thank you..
Gracias mamáo por el video!!
you crack me up bro LOL. Keep up the good work mate!
Loved the first 2 minutes
One man’s orange peel is another’s textured protective coating! 🍊
Great video. And funny.
Dude's a cheese ball, but knows how to clearly illustrate his tut's.
Thumb's up my guy.
Dave i just finished painted my car this morning using a good quality base and 2k clear. now there are alot of orange peel,some dust and bugs sticking to my clear coat.Question is how long should i wait before i could cut and compound it? so the steps are wetsand, compound, swirl remover, and polish? can i stop at polishing? that alot for replying (clear i used is autocolor 2k with slow gardner)
Awesome vid. The most informative and to the point. Im painting my bike soon and i experimented on a spare fairing with a duplicolor spray can and put on about 3 coates of clear. I started removing the peel with 1500 then 2000 and already i noticed it was taking down the paint to the primer. Question: is the paint output from a hvlp gun higher than that from a spray can?i know u can change the pressure of the gun. But because im using a spray can, would i need to put on additional layers of paint and clear?
michigansas
thx for the reply, btw what exact product are you using with the bigfoot?
Rotary buffer/polishers leave circular mark(swirls ) , So its better to use random orbital sander to sand and polishe , thats what most pros do although some prefer rotary but only for polishing never for sanding
I painted my car with 2k gloss black without a clear coat. I finished sanding my car with 2000 grit sandpaper now instead of using a compound I'm going to use swirl remover should this be ok with a woolen buffing pad?
What products did you use in the end to polish?
Hah, that beginning! Thanks for the helpful info.
Hi Dave, I recently painted a new front bumper with spray cans. I applied 3 cans of clear coat. after it dried it part of it doesn't look as glossy. I can see where the clear coat was applied, like the spray pattern. how can I fix this? thank you
what's the speed do you use? i have 1-6 speed on my buffing machine
I painted my car last week and off the gun it was rough in some spots and had minimal shine I tried to fix it with wet sanding but it will not buff out and give it That shine what can I do also can you list the products you used
Hey. Awesome video dude.
If I would spray some parts for my car with 1k paint and use 1k clear.
What should I do if I get orange peel in the base paint "underneath the clear"?
Will the clear hide that or should I buff the base paint before I spray the clear?
Is it possible to buff the panel by hand with the buffing compound ?
see painting acrylics by hand creates more layers though. my industry i have clients that have anywhere between 3-7 mill factory paint. after hand spraying Ive ended up with up to 40 mills on my chameleon pearl Exige. I've burnt through a supra paint with a wool pad which has prompted me to use foam. I've never looked back. I was always taught that the wool fibers were coarser on clear than wool. Im not really worried about heat so much as i am hollograms.
Will the same technique work on a satin finish paint?
Which brand/model spray gun u use in this video?
hello and thanks for the great vid.
Can you tell me the name of the compound your using right after you wet sand, the very first compound? it sounds like you say 2pac?
nice, funny, entertaining editing
I run 15 psi in my tekna copper and lay glass most of the time
would a 2.5HP 40L air compressor be sufficient enough for painting motorcycles?
Link in the description dude.
i hope one day you and gunman join together and make a good paint project
Is it clear coated or just basic color?
What if the orange peel is in the base coat, and can og even bedste that?
Hey mate
Quick question
Can you start with something more aggressive than 1500 grit (if it’s even advisable) for if you have drip marks as well as peel. Or is 1500 aggressive enough and no need?
Thanks love the vids
Nice Berg!
Question do I always start with 1500? I’m worried I might ruin my paint.
what's a good cutting compound
Hi, I paid £3k for a respray on my Transporter a few years ago that has crazy orange peel. I'm looking to cut it back flat and give it a dust over with 2k rattlers to freshen it up. Would you still wet sand to get it flat or use a courser paper on a DA to flat it back? (there are some runs I need to get rid of too).
I also need to sort some rust out on sections so they will go back to bare metal, watched a few of your vids now so if I'm right would I etch prime those sections once treated, then prime, top coat then lacquer? (I assume I don't have to re-prime the sections I don't remove all the top coat on). Then if i have peel after the touch up cut that back and polish...
I will need to remove at least the rear barn doors as they have external hinges that are rusting and the slider for a dent repair, how long would you recommend before refitting (I don't have a heat lamp), one of your vids said leave overnight before handling but I expect door etc. will need longer?
Thanks
Liked! Is that the music from DIY Autoschool?
Informative video, thanks. Questions: The bonnet on my classic car has a lttle bit orange peel after having been professionally spray laquered with high quality acrylic paint (no clear coat) about four months ago. Can the bonnet now be safely treated in the same way as shown in your video, ie with 1500/2000 wet or dry sandpaper, then treated with compound and finally polished with wax? Grateful for your thoughts and advise😎.
Yeah mate it will be a bit softer than 2k but wet sand and buff will bring it up like a mirror.
Can I do this with my car paint?
that you in the motorcycle pics in the intro? Doing trackdays?
hi good video. just a quick question new to spraying .I've sprayed my car with 2pac paint and got a lot of orange peel now do i put my clear coat on now or buff the orange peel out first then clear coat. again any help will do.
What would be the best way to go about painting my honda ruckus engine? could i rattle can it? and still get a nice paint job? its for the engine so it really don't need to be perfect, thanks in advanced!
Yep blended it, then I ate it. That truly got rid of it.
I gotta questions. My bike fairing have tons of orange peel, does that steps application work ? Andd can I buff it using hand coz I don't have any machine rotary tool.
I tried this and I have micro scratches in the paint. What is the cause of this and how can I improve next time?
Does the Pizza Maker apron come with the compound?
Can you buff it by hand,
Loving your vids mate but Can you clear over the orange peel Will you still see the peel
underneath
I just received the orange peel
Buff it out
post it back lmaaoooo
The bit about cranking up the psi was worth watching the whole video.
Still fast forward through the gag bit in the beginning though.
Dave is a spray painter and lives in a nice house. I want to become a spray painter now.
can i use meguiars ultimate compound as a cutting compound ?
wool is very coarse and creates lots of heat especially on newer cars with less factory paint. i only use foam or micro fiber pad for my detailing business. Don't know where you got the wool creates less heat.
hey Dave. I love your sense of humor, and your vdo.
I am wondering after you sand with 1500 grit. How can you tell when to stop sanding with 2k grit?
thanks man.. if you keep your hand or block flat on the panel and try and remember where you have sanded then as long as you have given it a good rub over the whole panel it will be fine. Its a bit hard to give a concrete answer on that.
+customspraymods thank you so much for the reply Dave.
keep it up. love you video.
@@lokyinphotography you can apply a powdered guide coat to your 1500 grit scratches.
Guide coat won't stick to the paint if it has not been sanded first.
So, your starting grit (1000, 1200, 1500, depending on how thick the orange Peel is), is actually the longest, hardest part of the sanding process.
Once you block sanded it to 1500, apply the guide coat. The guide coat won't wash off with water, it must be sanded off. This process works awesome.
Ha great video!
I am going to be repainting a small section using spray cans, it doesn't have to look perfect I just want to protect it from rust.
Should I sand it after painting the colour, then put the lacquer/clear coat on then sand again and buff or should I just paint the colour then lacquer then sand and buff at the end?
I've just seen your spray painting myths and misconceptions video. AWESOME!
Can I add a second coat of clear to a painted Car? I think I used to little the first time.
Hi, do you know any i-net shop in Europe where I could buy DNA Crystal paint?
if i get orange peel in my paint should i clear coat it?
I don't think the swirl remover will get out those 2000g scratch marks. Give it a go if your not happy with it you can always go to the heavier compound
You can leave the clear for 24 hrs before wet sanding just to be safe. The longer you let it cure the better. You can also apply a wax after polish
I thought we had too wait so many days before covering the paint with wax or any sealant?
@@tonybologna8522 Yes you are correct... Some say that even several weeks, depending on how the clearcoat cures (material, climate etc.).
So many different buffing pads most this overkill? What about just cutting pad and polishing pad
Recipe for the cake?
can i hand buff?
Hi Dave. Watch your vids all the time for inspiration. I am about to paint my bike a satin black. I worry about doing a single stage because you cant sand matte single stage in the event of peel or whatever. I am thinking of going the flattened clear coat route. If I do so, and if I have orange peel, will I be able to sand and buff the flattened clear coat to get rid of the orange peel without getting a gloss finish?
Hello. No with the satin and matt clears or single stage you need to get it perfect the first time. But it's alot easier to apply then the gloss clear
what about matte paint orange peel?
make a video about grapefruit peel
Great but how do you get rid of potato mites?
I noticed you raised the air pressure to eliminate the orange peel but what air pressure do you usually use
+Kevin Ali you must've missed the video..I'll help ya out..pause the vid at 2:40 and 2:44 and look at the bottom left hand corner of the vid and there is the answer to your question.
