I like this guy cause he shows you how to do all this stuff without fancy expensive shop tools. Everything he shows are things you can do in your garage
I find the dual action polisher to be fancy, but it did boot my confidence level...
Not to mention, he's showing us how to do fancy shop work!
I second that
Rattle can not even wet sanded buffed or polished. Were all beginners at first
Very informative
How can a man be so dry in the way he talks but still be entertaining.
Foreign accent...
I love this guy
Elbow grease
Ray romano
The accent lmao and hes actually informative
After you chugged the alcohol I was expecting you to start sanding the windows
I remember my first beer...
Quintan Neville 😂🤣😂🤘🏻
no sand .use clay.lol
@@QuintanNeville That's so funny, the last time I heard that I fell off my dinosaur!
I have spent months studying painting with a spray gun and discovered a fantastic resource at Magic Painter Method (google it if you are interested)
I like that used Honey Jack reflection to show the clear coat!!
Nicely done video. I liked the beginning where you showed the different stages of raw metal to primed, then base coat, then clear cut. Now I know the procedure. Wet Sand. Polish. Take a drink. Wet sand. Polish. Take a drink.. repeat as needed. Thanks for your great sense of humor
I like how you showed how it looks without polishing. Very nice video
Well being black. It is the hardest to get perfect. I seen pros take 2 weeks to get it perfect.... And they have paint booths and all the right stuff to do it....
Great results from rattle cans,.
I've used two highly rated body shops and I'd have been better off keeping the rock chips I touched up myself, let alone the repainting I'm going to have to do. The second shop had the audacity to tell me black is hard to work with, when they knew going into it I kept my truck pristine. Oh well.
I think I need some elbow grease fluid
Bro. You just did the simplest orange peel explanation. Thank you.
What a genius! He was able to get a pro paint job done with just spray cans! Truly, a rare inspiration...
some say he's still polishing to this day
LOL
Hahaha 😂
Dude this guy is hilarious, I cant believe it took me this long to start following this guy. Subscribed!
no because the explanations were amazing, thanks for teaching us all these!
These videos have helped me do better bodywork than the bad body shop that messed my car up. Thanks so much!
Hey just did this to my hood. Not too bad! Beats $1.000$ quote I got. I'll post pics when I'm done polishing. Just one note, if I could do it over, make sure you prime the surface really well with, I would say, several coats of primer. I could have used maybe one or two more coats. Then sand it the very best you can before painting painting and applying clear coat. Great video for DIY peops!
it's 3 am , how did I end up here?
I'm asking myself this same question right now.
Josh Guerrero nope, 2am, LOL
no, it's only 2:30
Josh Guerrero It's 420 here
Josh Guerrero 6:33 am
Thanks for sharing great detailed video. Your knowledge of automotive is rock! Keep the nice work up.
Hello my friend , thank you for a simple DIY method to prepare/primer/paint/clear coat and polish your vehicle using 2K products, I followed your method and painted my complete 2009 Honda Civic with "Rattle Can" spray cans, order about 4 cans of base paint 4 cans of spraymax 2k Primer and 3 cans of 2k clear coat, followed your instruction by the book, cannot believe it came out great, I got a good car wash after i smoothed the primer coats and let the car dry for 2 days and then with Tack Cloth cleaned up all dust and applied 3 coats of base paint following the flash time requirements after every base paint coat , I tacked clothed the surface and applied the paint , and the paint layer came beautiful and smooth, today i applied 2 layer of Clear coat after 1 day of drying of final layer of base coat, I will wait for 24 hours before i apply the 3rd and final layer of clear coat[Do you think I should apply 3rd layer?], than follow your instruction for polishing as per this video.
Question: As per your video you started the first sand papering at 1500 grit, do you think you also go up to 2000 grit for orange peel layer? What decides if you start with 1500 or lower than 1500 for removing the orange peel layer? I am still not clear on when to stop sanding the orange peel, is it when you don't see those little "bubble "?
Thank ..I will post the picture once i finalize the polishing stage in about a week, as I will wait for atleast 1 week before i start sanding the orange peel, so that the clear coat is completely dry.
Thank you from SoCAL where I was working in my garage cold winter day at 65F also but had a TACO ...man it was cold, but nice bottle of Tecate with lemon felt warm. :) CAIO! My total cost to do a complet car was about $400 including paint/primer/clearcoat/tapes/plastic sheet/paper. The same job I was quoted about $2500 at MAACO
Thanks for the very detailed explanation of the process . I just picked up the Griot's Garage Random Orbital Polisher kit at my local Auto Zone and now I not only know how to use it but understand how and why to use it ! Great video !
Your comment about cure time for 2k clear is gold. I just cleared a hood with Spray Max 2k Gloss and tried to wet sand and buff after 24 hours and couldn't figure out where all the damn scratches came from. I'm leaving it alone for a week and trying again but first, I need more beer.
This is not a nice video, this is actually an excellent video detailing on how to get a good painting results, thank you Bro, now i know pretty much what to do for my car painting project
I'm working on the same 2k clear over black, using the same elbow grease fluid. Definitely appreciate the video.
I did my first paint job with rattle cans, I did a fender on a silver Audi, but I let the paint cure till the end, sanded lightly and applied 3 thin coats of 2k. Came up with zero orange peeling, that panel ended up even better than the rest of the car (which probably was re-painted)
Beer, liquor, California burritos. I will gladly work for him at minimum wage.
Yep, I have worked in Cali and there are Burritos and good beer lots of fun
Super educational, very professional with good humor! Thanks!
This video help improve my skill after having orange peel
Let me start by saying that, overall this is an excellent video. Lots of great information, helpful tips, etc. that I've personally used in repainting part of my car....but, I feel like you left out kind of an important detail. You warned us about the danger of burning through on the edges, which we then covered with tape...but eventually the paint under the tape needs to be addressed, otherwise there's just a weird half inch wide strip of orange peel everywhere there's a hard body line.
How does one fix the orange peel under the tape?
You should add the links to the kind of cutting compound or polish that you use. Good video, thanks for the helpful tips. I use a lot of elbow grease!
dude I'll pay this guy to paint my entire 240sx with rattle cans 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
chris nava same here
chris nava haha so true !
If you have a garage you can DIY this.
same lmao
chris nava that paint job looks like shit why would you pay him for that lol kids these days
Thank you for sharing your video.... the drinking beer before the elbow grease was epic . 😂
Very informative/helpful...and entertaining too. You're a good instructor keeping it simple. Thank you.
Great videos, nice to see people doing things on a budget
Dude, honestly, you're the best. Always great info, I love your educational breakdowns, great editing, entertaining and funny. Great job. I really appreciate all your hard work.
Hell yeah great video you gave a great perspective and broke it down in a easy step by step thanks for taking the time to make it
Awesome videos my friend. Very informative. I've only painted a few car so far but mostly single stage stuff. Looking forward to adding clear coat to these jobs and this helps out.
Very nice job. It's honestly better than I expected, for spray cans..... Very nice. Now, where did I leave that Corona Light???? No wonder I have no elbow grease....
The only thing missing from your list of products is the most important one: COMPOUND! LOL! What compound are you using?
A lot of times guys like this and most of the worlds that blend (autobody & detailing) they use words that are generic like polish or wax, and for us detail guys it burns us up because it's not the way we properly define what is compound (abrasive) polish (light abrasive and shine) wax ( mostly protection of polish and added shine) but I'm pretty sure it was compound he used on the rotary with the wool pad, because of the way it broke down also the amount of fling on the windshield and the overuse of "1500"
Smearing polish around with your buffer is for beginners. Lay a straight bead and pick up the bead from right to left @ 10 degrees
we { i have an ant in my pocket} are beginners.
7:53 I don’t wanna risk burning it, especially not on camera😂 I feel you 😂😂😂
that old truck is lucky to receive that level of love, looks miles better after your repair👍
You got skills amigo
very nice job.thinking about doing this to my Alfa Romeo spider.but let the clear coat fry for a couple weeks..not to much body on my car compared to that f150.. so might try while car..your thoughts?
That polisher looks like an angle grinder, I've got one of those! 25000rpm polish comin up!!
LOL. cue for the song *let it buuuuurn let it buuuuurn let it buuuurn*
Jeff the only difference is that the polisher has speed control
LOL, elbow grease, best explanation ever seen. Thanks.
You are awesome man. Hope you don't get a DUI. Thanks for the insructions. What compound did you use? Meguires Ultimate?
Thank you thank you.
You truly deserve a medal for this very series, especially for pointing out all the mystical secrets and any nasty traps in technique too.
(Where to buy Elbow Grease?!?! Ha ha ha ha ha...)
should probably make a list of the things you will need first. At first you get the impression that its a cheap fix but then "Oh yeah" youre also going to need this and that and " you should probably get your self this and that" (in the middle of the whole thing) lol. other then that. i feel more confident to try it my self. Nice job.
Great technique.
Thanks.
Brilliant! utterly fantastic teaching, thank you SOOOOOOOO much!
Is it true? I read that if you use Rust-Oleum rattle can primer and paint then later decide to repaint the regular way it will require sanding down to the metal.
Damn right! Beer makes everything faster and funner!
Have you had any issues spray painting the area around the gasoline cap?? I know some spray paint cannot withstand contact with gasoline.
well Thanks to this guy I can save some money and do my pick up myself, every dollar I save, means I can afford to live without worrying, Thanks you
Thanks very informative i will try your way
This was very helpful! Thank you!
Nice video, you did an awesome job on the hood! I've got the same dilemma, badly oxidized paint on the hood. For red paint what color primer would you recommend? I'm going to use the 2k primer and clear coat. One problem, I don't have a buffer, I'll be polishing by hand. Is that a bad idea! I'm ready to chug elbow grease;)...lol
Thanks for helping me find the ingredients for the “elbow grease”
Very thorough, very detailed. Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for to step up my work. Needed to know how to wet sand and buff polish after clear coat.
I enjoyed hearing some of Carmen also!
This was very educational I went looking for the Corona elbow grease but it's all sold out just my luck 🍺
Looks like he brought the wrong corona
How come most guys just use the edge of rotary tool polisher when polishing? Which one is better?
Doing my GTO hood tomorrow(: thanks bro
What 2k are you using that it takes up to 72 hours before you can sand/cut/polish? If you don't like waiting around several days, I would highly recommend any 2k clear other than what you're using. Maybe Metalux or Montana. Even the Montana has "Dry to Polish 8-10 hours @75F/23C. Dry to Compound 12-14 hours @ 75F/23C." I painted my truck with Metalux and had great results with only the minimum 12 hour wait. before compound. My clear did not smudge like yours and it was 50F here overnight. Are they not putting enough activator in that rattle can? When someone backed into my truck bumper, I dropped it off at the dealership at 3pm and picked it up the next day by noon with a new bumper that had been painted and completely detailed. Repair shops would be out of business if they were waiting 3 days to paint their repair work. If they're in a rush, they simply add accelerator. 48-72 hours is not normal.
Maybe the price margins are steep....
bro repair shops have ovens...
Man, I've seen some (black) factory paint jobs that are just full of orange peel. I saw a Ram pickup the other day. Nice and shiny but covered with orange peel.
twinsmm1 some places actually have a factory orange peel finish on purpose
Yeah I've noticed lower sections of vehicles tend to have more orange peel look but as you move up it disappears. I'm guessing this has something to do with rock chip potential? Also I've read that a lot of vehicle manufacturers use a two stage paint (the metallic look) to try to obscure orange peel. Basically I've learned to pay for a clear bra on the entire front half of the car, not tail gate ever, and avoid certain businesses alltogether depending on the parking lot design or time of day. Preventing paint damage is a lot easier than trying to find places that actually will do proper paint work as most simply produce inconsistent work by inconsistent employees since expectations by the public are inconsistent. I for one have a TON of respect when at a car show and seeing some very old classics where the paint looks a mile deep, too bad people in general have zero understanding or self respect to take care of their own cars enough, but they'll waste time and money buying crap they don't need, yet if you ask them why they never detail their own cars they'll use the time/money excuse when really it's just priorities, but! the same types will compliment you if you do take care of your car and often cannot make the connection. It's rather humorous.
Yeah its because its a dodge
one of best tools in construction is the board stretcher
This answered every question I had. \m/
curious in the video: after you got done waiting for the hour after base coat to apply the first layer of clear coat - then you waited 10 mins or between the next 2 more layers of clear coat and you were done, is there any harm in going more layers than just 2 or 3? also since you waited 9 days to start wet sanding would there be any issues if you wet sanded with the 1500 grit and then put more layers of clear coat on the car or would that be not a smart move? lastly, why is 1k clear a bad option? you did a great job even with the tools most of us would have access to. thank you.
Thanks for the video, but i couldn't read the label on the bottle cause i was too F up already Lol.
Thanks for the knowledge.
I'm looking for bottles of beer. Can't find them online.
Good videos, funny guy, u make me laugh, keep those videos coming!
followed demo,,,now not sure if I sanded off clear coat, PLEASE PLEASE ADVISE THANKS
good job man....i can do a good paint job with rattle cans....only issue ive ever had is using masking tape on decals and window trim
poor yellow headlights
Bad Drivers of Hurst Euless Bedford Ebay please
And while we're fixing those, for the love of god do something about that driver's side windshield wiper!
Great job on both videos. The only thing missing was a respirator mask, unless you love the smell of spray paint.
paint a whole car with that method. 👍
Funny, interesting, informative. Subscribed!
So a question, I will be HPLV painting my Z, and I think I can take about 5 days to do it. So by day 3 the car should be painted and cleared. Can I wait 2 days, and then drive the car while it still dries? Then a week or so after sand with 1000,2000,3000 and polish?
Have have 3 panels i need to do this on. This will save my cars red Swedish ass
What a great video. Chug-a-lug.
What kind of polishing compound did you use?
I cannot stand DIY videos where some, I know it all, (who has no real clue) tries to show you how he/she is an expert...BUT...you my friend are not only a great DIYer but fantastic with real world instructions. Keep the videos coming. Thanks again...good stuff.
lol chug chug chug lol..working on cars and beers ..that's so me
How do I fix paint streaks/tiger stripes if possible
I am a rank beginner here!! This was a GREAT video. Very informative. I just courageously (stupidly?) repaired some paint damage estimated at $1800. Looks pretty good but with orange peal. This video has given me a strategy to do a more professional job. Thanks - enjoyed your humor.
No link for the elbow grease ?
9:18 bwhahahahaha
What kind of polish did you use?
The legend says, He Polishes from from Dusk to Dawn. Until his entire hands and arms go completely limp😢😭😂
Man, He made that beer look good as hell!
wow.. this was very impressive. part 1 and 2.
Badass bro. Thanks
I definitely need more elbow grease, my elbow is barking at me like a pack of wild coyotes on a SoCal hot summer night from all the sanding of my truck roof! Can I just bring my truck to your garage & you can do it? I will bring advanced elbow grease in the form of whiskey 🤘😎🤪☠️
How much Corona do you need for this job?
It would be nice if he would specify the Corona/Paint Can ratio, but I'd say when in doubt, it should be at least 2:1 and preferably 4:1.
Awesome. Wicked helpful videos. Should get an Oscar or something. I'm doing my Saab hood with cans and these videos brought me the final mile. Thanks.
is there any especial brand of elbow grease we need to avoid;
Great job dude! I particularly like the "Repairea" thing :-) And for what concerns some criticism from other folks: what this guys hase done with a rattle can looks better than some factory paint jobs I have seen on (even German) premium manufacturer cars. I think you have to look for Rolls or Ferrari to get such a mirror-like finish out of the shelf. OK, admittedly and to be fair, at this point he needs to accept the challenge and do a whole care like that!
I'd have one here ...
Great vid
Will you now remove the scratches to make it look like it was straight out of factory?
0record0 depends on the stratch
You are the best teacher for auto painting on youtube. To the point with the right amount of humor. I used your expertise to eliminate failed clear coating, then painted and recoated my black truck fender flares using rattle can K-2 products. They turned out well. After about 9 days, I will refresh myself with your eliminating orange peel video and get it sanded and buffed pretty. Thanks. I would have never tried this, but somehow you made it simple enough to attemp.
the clea rcoat doesnt work good with the spray ,i meant clear coat must use the spray gun better.thanks for this video.
