Hands down, this has got to be one of the best paint video's on RUclips. I myself have been painting for 30 yrs and this is very informative. This is truly a video you should watch before you decide to dive into painting your rides....
The booth berry has spoken!!!! Seriously though you guys are the best. Documenting and discussing this process made what would have been a a long day even longer. Thank you for putting in the time and energy to show the details, share the experience and explain those little details. So many times people who have years of experience don’t remember what’s it’s like to be a beginner. I don’t know how you stayed connected to it but this is no doubt the most comprehensive paint video on RUclips. Just awesome 🙌🏼
I’m an amateur painter but on my rare projects I get into my RUclips research and have watched countless hours of painting videos. Your videos give by far give the most useful intelligent information. You’re very knowledgeable and generous with your tips. I can’t believe I’m watching a 2 hr RUclips video on painting. Thank you for doing this.
As a bodyman of 30yrs, you guys are covering everything 👍 And, in my experience, are giving great advice and suggestions. It takes a lifetime of mistakes and experience to put together in one video what to do and not to do. Thank you for all that your doing to help folks get great results with there paint and bodywork 🙂👍 Awesome job!
Great tutorial! Most guys would sell this video instead of sharing it so thank you for your time and patience. It really helps me do the best job I can do and love my work too. Keep em coming!
I have been through this twice now and each time i picked so much more, no doubt I will again. Not only is it educational , but inspirational too. I'm still in bodywork. Wish I wasn't. Can't wait for the rest to follow. I've said before how much time this is for you and appreciate that so much, but the icing on the cake for me is the real time. I follow a few guys on the tube 1 has made me less afraid of the of 2 pack failure, but the booth berry is just unreal to share 25 years of hard grind. Free! Thanks matey
Wow! What a lot of information. I haven't painted a car in almost 30 years. What has gone on in those years is mind blowing. I have watched this twice, trying to get my head around all the new paints, polyester, urethane, water born, primer surfaces/sealers---- Thank you for taking the time to post. I doubt if I will have a chance to use this information but I can still dream. Working on my pickup that has come to it's peak--- I can peak through the rockers, I can peak through the cab corners--- You get it. I live in the rust belt. Thanks again and I now see you have several other posts on painting that I haven't seen.
a video worth watching actually all his videos and it's worth going back and watching them over and over . definitely my go-to guy for all auto body needs. Hands down the best instructional vids you will find on any platform.
I love your approach in talking to everyone from the ground up. You made it clear and easy to understand. I've learned a lot of understanding from watching this video. Thank you!!
Thoughrly enjoyed. 25yrs painting collision work still enjoy watching someone that enjoys and knows what there doing. Just started building my own 30 x 80 shop so I can start restoring and customizing. The quantity over quality just became more than I can stand. Love the vid.
I've been watching paint & body videos for over 5 years and this is good stuff. Once again I'm getting information on this channel that you will not hear anywhere else. Thanks again for a very detailed video!
You have yet to learn the drill press is the next paint mixer upgrade you need. Buy a crappy $70 one from harbor, it’s not like it’s drilling anything. Paint mixing is slow and easier. XD
I like how you talked about being calm when painting…. Every paint job I do I get stressed out while I am painting-not sure why. Most of the paint jobs are fine but I definately see lots of areas I can improve upon after watching your videos. I think the biggest takeaway is to paint every job like you’re shooting a candy-I think this breeds good habits. Thanks for sharing!
Great information on metallic lay down. I’ve seen other pro painters using this exact routine. But I’ve never seen a car painted in parts that had metallic going down. You’ve got to be pretty darn good to do that and have it end up looking like the entire car was painted all at once. Great video. All in the skill and know how.
im turning 50 this year been painting 30 odd years this was very informative with this never ending quest for a perfect pant job iam constantly looking & listening to anyone willing to show or tell me something ...then i can try it and see if it works for me... great video once again....
Just come across your channel mate, love it! I've been in the game around 26 years now, my own business for the last 14 years and last 4-5 years just doing high end Resto's, your a good teacher and theres a few things you've shown that I'll be taking on board. Keep up the good work.
I learned a crazy amount of info in this video , poor mans mixer, spray gun light, consistent gun setup, water is not the reducer for waterborne paint..lol Super helpful video..thanks again!
I watched because at the beginning of the video , I could tell that you are a man that is attention to detail. I’m a Marine 🇺🇸 , We are All Very Attention to Detail . Good job 👍 ❤️ Semper Fi 🇺🇸
Most thorough and informative instructional video I have seen on this subject. I have seen many good videos showing paint jobs etc. but this video was absolutely great explaining how/what to do. Thank you, Sylvesters Customs!!!
Brilliant presentation! I've been finishing furniture for 35 years and the amount of crossover info is a lot. You presented the details extremely well. Thank you for the time you put in. You've convinced me earlier to go with the ppg vp epoxy hybrid and this video helped fill in some questions I had. Cheers John.
John, That is PPG Vibrance Collection, 2050 DTM, High Build and Epoxy Based that can be sanded. The first time I saw it on Sylvester's Customs, my first thought was this stuff does everything and must cost at least $25 a quart, right? Very good explanation and the perfect tutorial into waterborne paint products. I am just joking about the $25 a quart, with stuff this good from PPG it has to be at least $32.50 per quart? DK, Omaha.
@@mercedesmaintenance.6339 I had just a little fun as they don't come thru the neighborhood playing a song & selling it out the side door! I have notice some paint gun sales promote internal coating for waterborne paint perhaps anodized. I enjoyed the video and caught the Kommiski reference to "Spay like a robot"! It gets into your head, but true. DK, Omaha.
I'm obligated to give you a thumbs up no matter what. I learned more from watching one of your shows then I did from watching years of DIY Auto School 🤣
By far the best video on painting I’ve seen! Besides the quality of the content, the humbleness and humility to say that this is where you are after 25+years of making some mistakes before honing your process down to a T, is everything! To be a master of the craft, like yourself, it takes time and experience! That’s the biggest lesson!! Also thanks for the tips! I immediately started implementing your processes!!! Thanks man!! 💪🏼
I very much like the direction you are going with your videos. Trying to wade through collision production techniques to high end custom techniques has been quite tricky. I have learned a lot from others but this is the direction I’m wanting to go. Thank you.
I learned how to prep and paint over 18 years ago. I've been out the game about 8 years and you make me want to get back at it. Great content and amazing work 👏🏿 👌
Your channel has become overall my goto channel. I save them and go back and rewatch and take notes!!!! I’m a beginner never spread a car, few motorcycles and bike frames, so each vid is a major learning course. I have a 65 C-10 tore apart, once body work is completed could I spray out each part and then put back together and spray the “last three coats”. I’m not sure/afraid I can get it blended/uniform paint on all panels!! I’m not wanting show circuit quality paint job. It’s going to be a daily/weekend driver Thx for all your input
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS more paint! I’m not so sure I could spray out each individual panel and have a uniform color once I reassemble truck!! I have it in my brain lay down one or two coats assembled truck then come back over with last coat and then clear???
Good stuff as always man... what a time to be alive to have this info at your fingertips. Answering so many lingering questions that are often muttered under my breath lol. Thanks for taking care of some of my dumb blonde moments.
Great info! The EHP is actually cheaper per ounce than DBC but due to the reduction difference it comes out about the same. I like EHP because it lays flatter with better color control. Me and my partner sprayed different panels on a silver car. He sprays with SATA, I spray with Iwata. When the car was assembled, there was no mismatch at all. Downside is humidity is a killer with EHP. I wish PPG would develop a faster reducer. All paint companies bragged on water initially. Then I found out the test market was Southwest with dry heat/no humidity. I still bounce between water and solvent depending on the job. I use degreaser to wetsand any imperfections with EHP dragging the paper in one direction to avoid tearing the color. I'll only use an orientation coat if necessary, usually on lighter metallics or pearls. Not all the time but I tighten up the material about a turn with 12 -15 psi for that coat and only once instead of three. Contrary to PPG, orientation coats do not alter the color like they claim. I've been using the 5700 for quite a while. Great gloss retention and buffs great. Good for leveling painted graphics too. I slow it down as much as possible. Usually the 95 activator and reducer. Flow coating is a waste of time and material. With this 5700, 4-5 coats is plenty to flat sand and buff and still bury tape lines. I notice you don't use any Venturi driers. Do you have any certain set up in your booth for extra air flow? I was at a training facility and they had ceiling fans mounted to the upper plenum. Huge difference. I have a 3M full face mask. It's not air supplied but covers the whole face and takes the regular filters the half face does. Also,check into the spray socks to cover the head.
Wow all amazing info thanks so much for sharing I’ll look into all of that. Nothing special in our old booth I just take the time to let it all fully dry. Takes me a looooong time lol
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS I was messing around with inventing a heated hand held Venturi drier(patent pending) to battle the summer humidity. We used to fire the burner in the booth in summer to dry the intake air before it to the booth. Made a huge difference. The quads are just a wind tunnel blowing dirt around. Wouldn't recommend. Ceiling fans and heat is where it's at.
Very good explaining and take the time to talk about details so even a beginner can understand. I have been painter for 20 + years and agree to all you said. The only thing i can bring to the table is that do not use wooden stick for mixing, especially paint. The wood can absorb some pigments wich maybe not so important on a full respray but when you make a repair it will make better colourmatch. I always use plastic sticks.
I can second this; not for paint though same logic applies. For structural adhesives, anything 2-part. The wood can absorb one product more than the other, throwing off your mix ratios. We only use stainless mixing sticks now.
Larry Great video. I am in the initial stages of painting the rear panels on my C7 for the second time (total amateur). I really liked the explanation regarding sealer. In the past I have not used sealer - mainly because I didn't know any better. I have been painting in the garage for about 4 years - just my stuff. Liked your take on 25 years of screwups. I'm there with screwups but only 4 years worth! Thanks for taking the time to present this - much appreciated.
I've always used sealer on a total respray but normally not on a panel spray. I would definitely use a sealer on an all over restoration spray. Just the way I was taught decades ago but I've seen guys do things I wouldn't dream of and get great looking results. I really dig the way you keep DOPE (Data On Previous Engagements) like a sniper keeps.
Great information! Your teaching style is easy to follow and the video editing is professional grade also. All of that together makes for an excellent video to watch!
The last coats you did I always been taught in the uk they are a drop coat. And normally I would cris crocs the pattern with high metallic bases so you wouldn’t keep going horizontally. What ever works is good enough that’s just how I was taught. Excellent vid.
Man that was the best of the best love it .man u teach great this helped me greatly the best paint channel by far thank for showing us I'm telling everyone about this
This video is great, I’m in the middle of a transporter project, engine swap mods done, I’ve done 2coats of 2k epoxy, just getting ready to fill then 2k high build primer … been unsure on what grade sandpaper to use prior to base coat, da sand or block , wet or dry? Definitely appreciate the work the professionals do more now, so much more involved than I thought, lwb transporter van is my first project definitely learned a lot
Love the tips! Thanks I bin doing this for quite some time but it helps leaning more to better my skills helps provide extra cash for my family especially my kids needs ! It helps getting by.. but hay I’m just getting by these days. Thanks brother!
Awesome video. You should do a video on how you put that car back together without messing the paint up. That is my worst fear. Tips and tricks to not damage paint, etc.
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS That would be very nice. And how to get the alignment again and what you did to ensure they line up when door/trunk, etc installed back on. Did you do something prior to removing to ensure they go back to same spots when re-installed. thanks. Videos are great.
Thanks for the video I have painted six cars now . Each time they got better and better , with your video you showed me what I was doing right and the stuff I was doing wrong. Can’t wait till the next one it should come out awesome!!!!!😉 thanks so much!!
I’ll be painting for the second time ever this answered a lot of my questions love the video well deserved like and subscribe from me. Biggest question this answered for me was figuring out how you like to spray and then setup the gun to work for you. My first time I setup the gun and kept trying to change how I was spraying. This makes so much more sense to me now trying to keep consistency. Much love man can’t wait to learn more
What I also noticed is you're getting little to no overspray in the air. I've seen other videos and its all over the place. Is it because of your settings. Set at Low volume amount at a pressure thats just enough to atomize? Also I'm assuming its an HVLP air cap? I have a devilbiss gti pro with the te10 aircap and it gives a nice smooth look. I love that you're also taking your time and completely relaxed. Cheers John.
It’s a combination of gun set up on any gun and I also spray very close so that I’m forcing the paint to hit the panel and not just become overspray. Thanks for watching
A lot went into this video. It was great! There's not a lot of videos about what to do when you run into a problem like fish eyes. Also if you are painting at home maybe you can show viewers a cheap way to filter exhaust to keep neighbors from dialing epa. Im looking forward to your upcoming vids. Thanks for all the hard work to share!
Thanks my man even tho its a 7 year old video and I'm still finding it help full. Had a new car for a week and some one backed In to me , shop wanted 500$ to fix it but after this vedio I feel confident I can do the repair my self .

Sylvester you rock.. watched many paint videos and none compare to the in-depth knowledge you share. Thanks so much !!
Thank you!!
Great video
Thanks for the visit
The last coats you did I always been taught in the uk they are a drop coat. And normally I would cris crocs the pattern with high metallic bases so you wouldn’t keep going horizontally. What ever works is good enough that’s just how I was taught. Excellent vid.
Yes drop coat or orientation it’s all the same exactly whatever works 👌🏻
I have never sprayed water borne but either way, many tips, lots of information and just a great tutorial. Learning has occurred! Thanks Travis.

Awsome bro..I'm just lost of words with a surprise of 2 great artists working together with the 3rd
What?
Sorry bro that comment was ment to someone else
This video is great, I’m in the middle of a transporter project, engine swap mods done, I’ve done 2coats of 2k epoxy, just getting ready to fill then 2k high build primer … been unsure on what grade sandpaper to use prior to base coat, da sand or block , wet or dry? Definitely appreciate the work the professionals do more now, so much more involved than I thought, lwb transporter van is my first project definitely learned a lot
I block sand wet with water in 600 grit but you can use a DA the finish won’t come out as clean tho
Love the tips! Thanks I bin doing this for quite some time but it helps leaning more to better my skills helps provide extra cash for my family especially my kids needs ! It helps getting by.. but hay I’m just getting by these days. Thanks brother!
Happy to help!
Awesome video. You should do a video on how you put that car back together without messing the paint up. That is my worst fear. Tips and tricks to not damage paint, etc.
Great suggestion! I’ll have to do that
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS That would be very nice. And how to get the alignment again and what you did to ensure they line up when door/trunk, etc installed back on. Did you do something prior to removing to ensure they go back to same spots when re-installed. thanks. Videos are great.
Thanks for the videos never to old to learn a new tip or trick.
Glad to help
Thanks very informative 👍 I learned a lot.
Keep up the good work.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video I have painted six cars now . Each time they got better and better , with your video you showed me what I was doing right and the stuff I was doing wrong. Can’t wait till the next one it should come out awesome!!!!!😉 thanks so much!!
That’s so awesome hope it makes a huge difference!
thx a million for the invaluable info ,Im sure it would've taken me a century to learn lol, ........great work!
Thank you glad you liked it!
Thanks for explaining all your tricks n tips
Anytime thx for watching!
Thank you for taking the time to make these great videos!
My pleasure!
Great video buddy, isnt that gun the LS400 not the WS400 ?
Yeah you are probably right 🤣
I’ll be painting for the second time ever this answered a lot of my questions love the video well deserved like and subscribe from me.
Biggest question this answered for me was figuring out how you like to spray and then setup the gun to work for you. My first time I setup the gun and kept trying to change how I was spraying. This makes so much more sense to me now trying to keep consistency. Much love man can’t wait to learn more
Awesome to hear!!! Thank you so much
Outstanding. Answered many questions I had. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great great great you are always the painter I trust to follow
Thank you!
Gonna have to try dropping pressure on orientation coat I usually turn psi up
It makes a huge difference. Solvent or water based paints.
What I also noticed is you're getting little to no overspray in the air. I've seen other videos and its all over the place. Is it because of your settings. Set at Low volume amount at a pressure thats just enough to atomize? Also I'm assuming its an HVLP air cap? I have a devilbiss gti pro with the te10 aircap and it gives a nice smooth look. I love that you're also taking your time and completely relaxed.
Cheers John.
It’s a combination of gun set up on any gun and I also spray very close so that I’m forcing the paint to hit the panel and not just become overspray. Thanks for watching
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS Thanks!!
This is a really good tutorial, well done and thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video your a great teacher ,can't wait to see the end results,of the Lincoln,
Thank you!! It’s on our instagram and Facebook page completed 👌🏻
A lot went into this video. It was great! There's not a lot of videos about what to do when you run into a problem like fish eyes. Also if you are painting at home maybe you can show viewers a cheap way to filter exhaust to keep neighbors from dialing epa. Im looking forward to your upcoming vids. Thanks for all the hard work to share!
Great idea we need requests like yours sometimes I forget about things like that. 👌🏻thank you
I think one of the things you can do is paint when it is colder outside and the neighbors don't have the their windows open..or their laundry out.
Thanks my man even tho its a 7 year old video and I'm still finding it help full. Had a new car for a week and some one backed In to me , shop wanted 500$ to fix it but after this vedio I feel confident I can do the repair my self .
Thank you. Only been filming for 2 yrs
Love the detail you provide. Awesomely done!!!!!
Glad you liked it!
