      when masking the door handle holes with the foam tape. Face the sticky side out so it will stick inside the hole and not fall in or out.

    Hey Brian I’m glad I found this. I’ve been watching your videos for the last 4 jobs I’ve done (I’m not professional; we own a small dealership and I do all of our own work) and my last job - new hood on a Pearl red CRV - was virtually undetectable. Confidence has gone from 0 to 95% in those 4 jobs. The is hood was ruined by stone chips left unchecked. The customer who bought it was very happy (I disclosed the hood replacement of course). I really appreciate your approach. And it helps seeing you work on $40-160,000 cars hahaha. This was great; I’ve been wondering how you mask so neatly.I’ve said it before and I will again: yes you’re an industry benchmark if a painter, but you’re also a gifted teacher. Thanks man

    @darkwillow57 3 года назад +14

    It's important on many of those plastic sheets that you can't put them on upside down. The up side is designed to hold onto paint and overspray. On many brands the underside can collect paint but it flecks off from air (like your spray gun air) and will put bits into your fresh paint.

    • @R182video
      @R182video Год назад +4

      Exactly. The plastic I use has a shiny side and a dull side. The dull side needs to go out and will hold onto paint. The shiny side will allow paint to flake off and fall into your paint job.

    Scotch tape part number 2097 is the greatest tape for masking off a car. It tears easier when done quickly it flexes beautifully, it sticks much better, when you pull it off it will not break etc etc I ordered it by mistake didn't like the way it tore until I figured out how to do it now I absolutely love it... Just masked off painted and removed on a Land cruiser I just did and now I am in love

    Good morning Bryan, lots of Tricks, tips, and techniques. I always learn something new from the intelligent videos. I would offer one of my techniques. I always warm my tape in an old microwave that I have in the paint mixing room, for about 15 to 20 seconds. It does wonders for tape to bend around difficult shapes. I like to chase the moisture from the tape surfaces with a heat gun, it really helps the tape adhere much better. Just my 2 cents worth. Thanks for the great video, you take care and Happy New Year.

    • @PaintSociety

    Brian, thanks for the information just on a subject as simple as taping, now Aug. 2020, I still enjoy learning. Question: the plastic used matters from what I can tell. I have heard other painters claim certain plastics can let chunks fly off which can land in your paint. Is this one of those where you should stay with a name brand? I have seen the name brand brand product used right up to the paint line, but cheaper “Plastic is Plastic” is placed away from direct paint line and taped off to avoid overspray. Example; 1967 C10 truck with white top and later, re-tape to finish other panels.
    I apologize for not keeping up, but went in for L2-L3 Lumbar fusion and came out with all fused down to include the “S1” or tail bone and binge watching my favorite professional channels.

    Denatured alcohol in a pump sprayer, mist the plastic ( booth off ) to de ionize the air and remove the ability to hold a static charge. Your detailer will thank you for it.
    Anywhere basecoat is with in 6" of plastic, I recommend paper to keep the basecoat from seeding. Edge where fender meets the door, 2" tape attached to foam so when you close the door you can stuff it in the crack to keep base/clear from inside the door jam. Being nit picky but if you're doing work on a new car lot damage repair ( more common then you might think ) they won't be bitching about the overspray on the rubber.

      Spray mask is great just a bit pricey and we aren’t a high production shop. But yes good tip!!

      Yeah I get it I buy a budget 5 gallon jug for like 50 bucks and it functions so much better than "Slime" that's 30 bucks a gallon. Keep up the great work sir!
