Thanks for the tip on 3 coats. I'm about to spray a VW beetle with a Smyth truck conversion kit and it has lots of tight corners and curves plus I'll be spraying in the home garage in the winter.
Awesome work! Was wondering if you can give us tips on how to get different textures in clear coat. I notice on some GM cars they have more texture. I’m trying to learn to get that factory look. People I work with don’t understand that I want to do work like the car was never touched. They just tell me to spray and move on
Great job. It is a trip how the industry has changed. I have been retired for five years now and remember when glueing panels first came around . Didn’t think it was a good idea, but now it seems like lots of vehicles use glue on panels. Amazing how colors have also come around. We used to jamb parts then have body man hang them then paint on car. Love to keep learning on how industry has changed . Keep educating us old guys !
It’s nice to see you using the DA sander. The shop I worked in did not allow any DA action lol. We hand sanded everything, generally red scotch pad for new paints and gray pad for blends. We used all solvent based Ppg products
Awesome job Kandy Man. The blend and paint look perfect. Nice tip on the 3 coats of clear. Hope you’re off for the long weekend. Enjoy New Years Eve and day with the family. Take care brother.
Excellent work as always. I wonder how difficult of a time I would have telling my insurance guy I need to take my car to Florida for repair. Hopefully I won't need to find out. 😁
@@gedd6750 Just buy KM a plane ticket and ask him to bring his mask and paint guns to your paint booth. Show him around UK, feed him some good food would be great I'm sure. Along with his charge for his services. ;-)
Beautiful job on the red Corvette Kandy Man, those panels are a really difficult shape to paint so you gave us some good advice about doing three medium coats to help reduce the chances of getting runs👌 Happy New Year to you and your family🥳🙏👍John UK
And the Ecoat on the new parts are terrible and all the OEM bumpers we get have dimples from the plastic weld of the inner structure. Always a headache when we get Vettes in the shop.
Can you define how you put on a medium coat? Are you turning down your paint supply at the gun 1 turn or another number of turns? Are you speeding up? What technique are you using to define a medium coat, full wet coat, and others?
@@kandyman5315 Is your technique full fan, full fluid opening, same distance approximately 6 inches, then control speed where faster would be a medium coat, slower would be a wetter coat?
@@kandyman5315 Well it is beautiful as always, it appears in the video to be ultra flat and devoid of any factory type peel. just thought maybe you had sprayed something different to make sure it was that way. I did notice you used the DV1 the whole car must be super flat like that?
hey Kandy man i need some help i painted something yesterday i got a run and i wasent able to save it so a burned the paint, i use dvc deltron solvent , can i apply 2k Primer after 24 hours over the clear ? is there anything a i can do to prevent mapping ?
Whoever this vette owner is should feel good an absolute legend is spicing up their car to perfection.
Real nice laying down the clear on all those angles.
👊👊

New corvettes are tough, i work for a Chevy dealership chain. Have had to do quite a few of them. Nice work as usual.
And the Ecoat on the new parts are terrible and all the OEM bumpers we get have dimples from the plastic weld of the inner structure. Always a headache when we get Vettes in the shop.
Exactly how this was🙌😆
The most difficult thing I’ve ever sprayed is a mclaren 720 door panel, every time one comes in the shop I pray it’s not for a door. Lol
I here ya🙌🙌
Your a Master Painter
Great job, KM! Happy holidays and a prosperous New Year!
Thanks! You too!
Was wondering what tack rags you use trying to find something that isn’t real waxy and won’t leave any residue
Crystal, for waterborne, they are the best
Can you define how you put on a medium coat? Are you turning down your paint supply at the gun 1 turn or another number of turns? Are you speeding up? What technique are you using to define a medium coat, full wet coat, and others?
Faster coat same settings as usual 👌
@@kandyman5315 Is your technique full fan, full fluid opening, same distance approximately 6 inches, then control speed where faster would be a medium coat, slower would be a wetter coat?
Great job, what air cap and fluid tip did you use?
C2 1.3
Do you think the c1 air cap sprays flatter?
Yes
Lol ok so now I have to ask how come you didn't use the c1?
Hopefully you will reply, looking for a bit of help. Thanks.
Did you turn your fluid down from full or pull your hand back?
Fluid adjustment ✔️
Is this WA245F and WA501Q?
Wa9075
Do you think this Corvette model is the worst car to paint?
One of the harder for sure
which clear did you spray on this one?
Same as always ppg 2021

Light coats of primer
What gun are you using for sealer? Looks like an iwata?
Lph 400
and what could i do if i run it in a bad angle or bent
Hopefully, sand and buff it out if not repaint
