Good on you man I love diy paint jobs, but here’s a little advice: 1. Paint from the top down aka start on the roof and the next tallest surface 2. Do 2 light coats and one heavy coat 10 minutes between coats 3. Fill your sprayer with water and food coloring and practice painting on like cardboard I’ve been diy painting for quite a few years and practicing helps the most
That guy ain't lying. Especially with the way that gun was throwing paint out like it was. Couple light almost dust coats will help the paint stick and not run, then you can hit it with a heavier coat or 2. You'll still deal with orange peel considering the equipment your using, but it'll probably be easier to fix later
With a 2.0 tip that is considered primer or rhino lining level Try it straght up with some valspar hardener. In the 90's i did it with a cheap Wapner and rustoleum and valspar hardener.
I think it came out great. Yes it needs a little sanding, etc, but that's in most paint jobs. Thank you for putting it in terms that normal garage DIY guys like me can understand. I feel encouraged to be able to do something like this on my own now. Thanks again and keep up the great work.
I feel like maybe it might have had too much reducer in the mix, and I always start painting on the roof first, so in case I lean against the car during the process. I may have to play with this process myself. Good vid.
To much to fast. To close. Take your time, lay a light coat for adhesion then move back and start from top to bottom addressing the creases first. Good job for a beginner tho👍🏾
I disagree. Tack coat is bull shit. If u sanded it right and cleaned it right. Being black color you want to lay it out as smooth as possible. With that turbine sprayer that means horns in and wide open. But that’s just 20 years of painting talking
@@paintingandlife4288 tac layer is fail safe for beginners though. I personally can do both but prefer a tac coat being that it lays the paint more even imo.
If he went slower he'd have one door done and the canister would be empty. Going fast he had crazy runs, going slower with that wide of a fan pattern, it would look like spilled paint, 😂
First that is a turbine fed hvlp not airless. High volume low pressure air. You just needed a finer tip on the gun. Your spraying solvents which go thru the big tip orifice you have very fast and heavy. I think you thinned just right, you don’t need Japan dryer, that acetone and hardener will cure that paint just fine. That sprayer is for the average joe to spray fences house siding, and with a finer tip it can pull off spraying some cabinets, but not with how big the gun is going inside the cabinets. I only needed to see a few seconds of spraying that the tip orifice was too large. They are made for thicker water base paints. You could have sprayed that solvent material with a harbor freight gun, You would have needed a good air compressor though to have enough volume of pressure to keep the air flowing as you needed. I’m a specialty painting contractor of 44 yrs spraying with any type of sprayers you can think of. The grace 9.5 hvlp turbine air with the graco edge 2 plus gun with a number 3 tip is what your really after here if your wanting to use a turbine hvlp spray setup. You little sprayer might work, but only with a finer tip orifice. You just covered the black way too fast, the orange peel must have been terrible, if it was a gloss you were spraying , oh boy !
Question for you - I have the very same sprayer and have been considering painting my car with it but have been very wary about it for this exact reason - I'm not too keen on getting runs. Orange peel isn't too bad cos I would flatten it down with an 800 grit and then hit it with a clear coat and then hit it with 1500 trizact to buff the clear coat. With regard to the nozzle - will any nozzle size fit on the gun? Or does it need to specifically be built for this gun? You get three in the box and can change between circular, vertical and horizontal when painting. I think vertical would be best and it looks like OP used circle.
@@sdaafasfad do not try this with that sprayer, the air pressure might work but you would need a smaller tip orifice , an accessory item. Remember this is done in light layers. Once a light mist coat as a first coat is applied, it dries tacky like how masking tape would feel. Then a second coat would absorb into that tacky coat and cling to it without the possibility of major runs. You need a coat that the solvents will absorb into. Its the right environment thats warm so it sets up well. The right solvent for the temperature where your spraying. Build the coats medium wet, watch it as it goes on so its not too dry a coating. Be robotic as to how consistantly your the right distance from the surface so you dont flood it on, or too dry a coat either. If you have a decent air compressor, for less than 50$ Harbor Freight has an Hvlp gun with the right tip orifice size for automotive viscosity paint, which is thin. You dont want to get into sanding down orangepeel, thats10 times the work over spraying it right with minimal orangepeel in the first place . If you do get a smaller tip size and do spray a lighter dryer base color coat, then the clearcoat will be your finish coat, if you go with a 2 stage application. Clear coats come at package consistency, not all require thinning with solvents. These clearcoats are very user friendly with the right tip size to avoid runs or too dry a coating for it to flow. You dont want to be sanding down your clearcoat and buff it down if at all possible, its too much work. Just decide if the vehicle is only worth doing a single stage color coat application made to be without a clearcoat, thats not so bad.
Just checked .. $119.98 sprayer. Your vid is what I was looking for . I am restoring a 1979 powermatic floor drill press 1150 I don’t like the brush look, roller look both not even coverage. Same paint different color hunter green . Thanks great vid
You’ve got the Right Attitude ... not getting butt-hurt over negative Comments. Constructive Criticism is another thing. Practice makes perfect. Every attempt will get easier & better. Watch more YT vids. I went to PPG School. Developed ‘technique’ after each job. Someone said hose over shoulders. That was one thing I learned EARLY, after dragging hose in fresh pass on roof. Now, it’s ALWAYS across my shoulders. Develop your Pass Technique - consistent speed, distance, STRAIGHT lines. Back & forth, short strokes not ideal. As others have said, takes patience but lighter coats at first to give adhesion. Then progressively ‘heavier’ passes. A smaller tip size would have atomized paint better. The turbine doesn’t supply enough air Volume to properly atomize with “normal” tip sizes, so try going one or two ‘smaller’. You’ll keep getting Better, and the Attitude is Right. Just make adjustments, trial & error. Do not repeat same (techniques), until you are very proficient. 👍🏼 PS Forgot to mention, ALWAYS test your spray pattern on sheet of paper, cardboard, or window masking, before beginning Passes. It’ll help fine tune BEFORE laying down material.
Here’s your problem. It was your first time using the tool to paint a car so some learning is in order. However, like you said, with some wet sanding, they paint job will look TIGHT! It looks great overall and I think the next thing you paint with that sprayer is gonna look even better. Overall, it looks incredible and I’m inspired to get one for my house AND resting my VW Bus. Thank you my friend!
The color looks awesome! I would never do something like that outside, but it turned out quiet well (maybe the paint was a bit too thinned out). A idea would be to maybe get like a party tent then you could do a Paint job without dust and stuff landing on the fresh paint.
I did this at work found best ratio to be 4:1:1 and also you can’t wet sand and buff flat paint buffing flat paint will make it satin or even sometimes glossy better off sanding it and putting another oat on
never seen someone spray with airless system. I think 4:3 is to much reduced and you had the runs. also the sprayer fan pattern was nice but i think its just not atomizing the paint enough. i did a few paint jobs rustoleum on my channel and im still learning. Good job overall good video and clean content!
Atomic Garage everyone has to start somewhere, you don’t get good by just watching other people’s videos but by actually doing it yourself. Nicely done 👍🏼
Look into the fujispray turbine sprayer. If you want to do projects like that in the future. It’s airless but it’s a 1.3 tip. I use 1.3 for base and clear. 1.8-2.0 is a primer tip. Too much material. Thicker paint build is a bad thing because it expands and shrinks with cold and heat so you want to be somewhere in the middle so it doesn’t crack and fail. But seriously look into a “turbine paint sprayer” they act like hvlp without a compressor. It’s an investment but you could paint damn near anything with it.
@Atomic Garage that is not a airless sprayer. If it was airless thinning would not be required. That is a hvlp sprayer. Airless is like the name just fluid pressure to atomize paint. Your sprayer is atomizing paint with air. Hvlp stands for high volume low pressure. High volume of air to atomize vs airless that is high pressure no air to atomize.
I love the color choice. That thing absolutely pumps that paint out fast! I wish I had this when I painted my trailer lol. I love these experiments with different methods and materials to get things done! Keep it up!
Looks really good, a coat of clearcoat would probably really make it look professional, but as you said you were going for a matte finish. Iv got a 98 jeep cherokee im thinking of painting with an electric gun, your video gave me some confidence :)
@@J_Brian Have you been using airless electric spray gun to spray on your car? If so did you make it like what professional does or it is worth to go to a professional bodywork to get it done?
Can you believe I have just been told white people are NOT allowed to watch a black or brown persons video, THIS VIDEO, unless I ask the creators permission. The CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY thing is it was a white women who told me that! I CANNOT benefit, ie learn, from this wonderful mans video because I'm a different skin colour!

Thanks for the heads up.....
Sorry that this happened to you and yes its GOTTEN CRAZY over here in the states but, rest assured all of us and by us, I am talking about true Americans black, brown, yellow, white, red etc... that love this country despite being silenced for fear of being called racist, coon and many other labels intended to silence us, lose employment, we will speak loud and clear at the polls...FOUR MORE YEARS! can you believe that there are organizations in the states trying to normalize pedophilia! The attack on our country and children is relentless. Its gotten so bad here that reputable long standing companies are giving into the pressure...I am black and all I ask of (ALL) people ESPECIALLY BLACK PEOPLE is to READ THE BLACK LIVES MATTER MISSION STATEMENT.....COMPLETELY!! Its on their website. BLM wants to dismantle the family as we know it...FATHER, MOTHER, CHILDREN. .which is whats destroying black Americans now and is filtering down to all Americans.. A certain segment of blacks are being used as the FACE of black lives matter..however when you examine the protests you'll see a majority of the protesters are NON BLACK...Trump rubs everyone the wrong way sooner or later but, I done care because what matters to me is that he HAS NOT LED US THE WRONG WAY. UNDERSTAND WITH THE BLM MOVEMENT BLACK LIVES ONLY MATTER WHEN IT COMES TO BEING SHOT BY A POLICE OFFICER, BUT THEY DON'T MATTER AND ITS OKAY THAT 20 TO 30 PLUS BLACK MEN AND CHILDREN ARE SHOT EVERY SINGLE WEEK AND THIS IS ONLY COUNTING ONE CITY.

BUT I ENCOURAGE EVERY ONE TO SUBSCRIBE TO THIS FAMILY MANS CHANNEL. NOT ONLY ARE YOU LEARNING BUT ALSO WITNESSING THE TRUE BEAUTY OF A FATHER AND SON RELATIONSHIP! NOW THIS MATTERS!!
Bro, did you adjust the flow of the paint on the sprayer? The instructions say you can. Looks like you had it on full blast, or you were not moving fast enough, resulting in too much paint causing runs
you can not color sand/wet sand flat paints because you cant buff them. Only sand it if you plan on repainting, like you could probably sand out the run and do a spot in/ blend job and make it look ok. possibly even with a rustoleum spray can. as far a getting rid of the orange peel you'll have to repaint the whole car. I use a 1.4 tip when painting only use a 1.8 for primers.
I always cloud my first coat, little heavier on a second coat 20 mins after I finish the first, and then 20 mins after the second I do a heavier coat to finalize it, that thing seems to spray kinda fast though.
That's not an airless rig. It's HVLP (high volume low pressure). An airless rig pumps the paint through the hose. Somewhat similar to a pressure washer. Very high pressure and atomizes the paint.
Bro, that paint job came out horrible. I don't meN to hate or trying to put you down. Invest in an good compressor a water air separator and a decent spray gun. Oh, and a inflatable booth. Get good paint and materials. Don't listen to the people that say spray from the top. Never do that. Just invest and practice. You'll be alright my guy. Stay up!!!
Who in the hell are y'all fooling, the car looks like shit. You would have been better off just throwing a five gallon bucket of paint on it. You can't wet sand satin paint because you can't buff it out after sanding. With satin paint you need very light coats multiple times to prevent tiger striping, orange peel, and runs because you can't buff it out after sanding because it will become gloss then. With your skill set spray bombs are your only hope!!
Reducer vs acetone both alow the paint to lay smooth but with acetone it's one shot you can not lay strips or touch ups over it or it will wrinkle as with reducer you can strip touch up and secont coat without wrinkles. Yes reducer is 4 times the price and dries slower but is the best choose in my eyes
I'm new to your channel and wonder if you posted a video of this car after it was wet sanded and buffed out... Secondly, the airless sprayer includes different nozzles right? Might be worth messing with those to see what works best for your application... Thanks for posting video...enjoyed it as well as your commentary...
Tip When spraying pull hose over your shoulder that way you don't have to hold it. You were brave for shooting black outside lol but that's how we learn. I did body and paint for 14 years . Good luck my friend 💯😎
The issue u ran into a lot here is that you thinned paint when shooting through an airless sprayer... If you read the back of the can of paint it even says not to thin when shooting through airless sprayer
No atomization. Part coming out way too heavy. Still beats messing with rattle cans but nothing beats a hvlp or lvlp gun. Can even get decent results with the purple hf gun
And with that gun and volume of paint coming out thinned that way, your not a bad spray man, those runs were expected. God luv ya for giving it your best effort. A smaller air compressors with a 5 gallon harbor freight extra tank added to a smaller compressor Would get you thru half the hood, wait a min for air to build up , then spray the other half of the largest surface like the hood. I did a car this way with a double tank air compressor adding the overflow 5 gal tank for reserve. Then you could spray with harbor freight cheaper hvlp gravity cup gun. With the right tip orifice.
Newbie here looking to learn a little bit more and have been Googling/Youtubing around for DIY, affordable ways to paint a vehicle. Gotta say, I appreciate your unpretentious and straight forward style here. A lot of RUclipsrs try too hard to hype up stuff that doesn't need it.
To sprain paint a car, 1) wash it 2) sand it it 3) wash it 4 paint with primer 5) sand it 6) paint colour of choice, 7) wet sand it Is that right, My car is white but want to paint it black
too heavy on the first coat let the first coat be the tacky coat just so that you can lay the paint on heavy for the 2nd, almost like the first coat is acting as glue for the second it will save you next time so you dont have so many runs in the paint
Good luck with dust, debris and paint splatter....This is not gonna turn out very good at all... Also wtf you upload this shit and 90% of your video is missing sound....
This is not an airless paint system. This is a HVLP turbine paint system which a high volume of air with low pressure. Usually around 3-6 psi. You can avoid runs by
All commenters are named Noah Tawl who all came to see "can we paint a car with a electric wagner gun?' They're all a bunch of idiots who don't want to look like idiots in the comments,so they compete with each others comments by looking up wording on Google like, "i wouldn't have reduced the paint as much" ,or "you can't wetsand flat paint,you have to clear it with flat first". I am a professional,and i think you did an awesome job. 👍👍👍👍
Like it my man!! Not too bad! And your right it wouldn't be feasible to shoot kandy, metallic or some sort of pearl on Huge project! Maybe you can, maybe not... that would be a nice video though. Big ups.. great info.
If I didn't have the equipment, I would have bought a $15 harbor freight hvlp and rented a large compressor. Probably could have rented a compressor for less than the cost of that airless sprayer.
Good on you man I love diy paint jobs, but here’s a little advice:
1. Paint from the top down aka start on the roof and the next tallest surface
2. Do 2 light coats and one heavy coat 10 minutes between coats
3. Fill your sprayer with water and food coloring and practice painting on like cardboard
I’ve been diy painting for quite a few years and practicing helps the most
I love the advice! I will try those out!
I actually never thought about using water and food coloring to practice. Haha. Thank you. I'll have to give it a shot.
Im tottally bout to go do the food coloring thing before i paint my car, thank you
That guy ain't lying. Especially with the way that gun was throwing paint out like it was. Couple light almost dust coats will help the paint stick and not run, then you can hit it with a heavier coat or 2. You'll still deal with orange peel considering the equipment your using, but it'll probably be easier to fix later
Great tip mate...
Old school rule---keep on trucking!
Jacking it up will give u a gap by your tire to paint better. Thanks for the vid

I would consider that an hvlp sprayer with its own fan system and not a true airless sprayer.
I saw a lot of runs however I feel that’s to be expected. Very eager to see how you learn and improve on your next car.
5:2 and a .3 of hardner. It is cool that you tried something new, tbh.

WELL, THAT''S OKAY WITH BLACK LIVES MATTER AND THE WHITE WOMAN WHO TOOK THE TIME OUT TO TELL YOU YOU CANT WATCH ANOTHER HUMAN BEINGS VIDEO BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN...SHE IS ACTUALLY TRYING TO UNDERMINE HIS YOU TUBE CHANNEL BY TRYING TO OFFEND AND GET YOU TO UNSUBSCRIBE. BUT I ENCOURAGE EVERY ONE TO SUBSCRIBE TO THIS FAMILY MANS CHANNEL. NOT ONLY ARE YOU LEARNING BUT ALSO WITNESSING THE TRUE BEAUTY OF A FATHER AND SON RELATIONSHIP! NOW THIS MATTERS!!
wet the tires then put the plastic over them. they will stick to the tire
mad respect not bad should of just dipped that beamer lol
Light color sand the paint runs and orange peel then hit it with clear. Car will be like new
What does light color sand means?
@@davondd sanding the color before the clear coat with 1000-2000 grit
Anthony Medina thanks bro good looking out
Airless sprayer mainly used for painting wall, fence and so on but not a car.
why not..?? .use alkyd paint for metal...should work
Laid too much paint at once and too close but all and all still looking good with flat black ✊🏾😎
Awesome! I painted a car with a brush and roller using latex when I was a kid 😂
Bro, did you adjust the flow of the paint on the sprayer?
The instructions say you can. Looks like you had it on full blast, or you were not moving fast enough, resulting in too much paint causing runs
I was wondering when the video started if you were from south carolina also. I could see that beautiful sc heat lol!
That sc heat is something else!
Is there paint you can buy for the airless sprayer you don't need to add additives to? I'm trying to do a basic white paint job on a bus.
Painted atleast 30 cars. Use a jack sand trash bag for wheels. Takes 1min per tire
I need a second set of jack stands. I was getting made trying to mask the wheels.
Maybe instead of clear coating it (outside = more bugs) just do a good paint sealant?
Maybe for the next car. Make a booth. Its super easy to make and saves headache. I like your video’s keep it up. #e36life
Thanks ! I think I’m going to retire from painting 😂
Ur doing good work friend dont worry
@@AtomicGarage Just go get that 199 Macco special!
Not to bad. It Could be sanded a bit and another coat could take it down. But it sure beats $4000 dollars.
Agreed!
Looks awesome!!
you can not color sand/wet sand flat paints because you cant buff them. Only sand it if you plan on repainting, like you could probably sand out the run and do a spot in/ blend job and make it look ok. possibly even with a rustoleum spray can. as far a getting rid of the orange peel you'll have to repaint the whole car. I use a 1.4 tip when painting only use a 1.8 for primers.
Maybe next time move back a little more. I paint with plasti dip but it looks good
I always cloud my first coat, little heavier on a second coat 20 mins after I finish the first, and then 20 mins after the second I do a heavier coat to finalize it, that thing seems to spray kinda fast though.
That's not an airless rig. It's HVLP (high volume low pressure). An airless rig pumps the paint through the hose. Somewhat similar to a pressure washer. Very high pressure and atomizes the paint.
Bro, that paint job came out horrible. I don't meN to hate or trying to put you down. Invest in an good compressor a water air separator and a decent spray gun. Oh, and a inflatable booth. Get good paint and materials. Don't listen to the people that say spray from the top. Never do that. Just invest and practice. You'll be alright my guy. Stay up!!!
Aye my dude if you’re going to keep makin videos invest in a gimbal. It’ll make those cuts 100x more quality
Who in the hell are y'all fooling, the car looks like shit. You would have been better off just throwing a five gallon bucket of paint on it. You can't wet sand satin paint because you can't buff it out after sanding. With satin paint you need very light coats multiple times to prevent tiger striping, orange peel, and runs because you can't buff it out after sanding because it will become gloss then. With your skill set spray bombs are your only hope!!
Manage expectations.....great advice bro
Reducer vs acetone both alow the paint to lay smooth but with acetone it's one shot you can not lay strips or touch ups over it or it will wrinkle as with reducer you can strip touch up and secont coat without wrinkles. Yes reducer is 4 times the price and dries slower but is the best choose in my eyes
I'm new to your channel and wonder if you posted a video of this car after it was wet sanded and buffed out...
Secondly, the airless sprayer includes different nozzles right? Might be worth messing with those to see what works best for your application... Thanks for posting video...enjoyed it as well as your commentary...
If I was to do this would I have to block off the front of the car? I mean is or will paint get into the radiator or some parts under the hood?
Tip When spraying pull hose over your shoulder that way you don't have to hold it. You were brave for shooting black outside lol but that's how we learn. I did body and paint for 14 years . Good luck my friend 💯😎
honestly if not for the runs in the paint the areas that didnt have runs look really good. nice work!
Thanks for the info. For sure, I will not waste my time with the airless paint gun. Looks like crap.
The issue u ran into a lot here is that you thinned paint when shooting through an airless sprayer... If you read the back of the can of paint it even says not to thin when shooting through airless sprayer
Remove orange peel with 180, 1000, 3000 sand paper. Then clear coat. 👌
No atomization. Part coming out way too heavy. Still beats messing with rattle cans but nothing beats a hvlp or lvlp gun. Can even get decent results with the purple hf gun
And with that gun and volume of paint coming out thinned that way, your not a bad spray man, those runs were expected.
God luv ya for giving it your best effort. A smaller air compressors with a 5 gallon harbor freight extra tank added to a smaller compressor
Would get you thru half the hood, wait a min for air to build up , then spray the other half of the largest surface like the hood. I did a car this way
with a double tank air compressor adding the overflow 5 gal tank for reserve. Then you could spray with harbor freight cheaper hvlp gravity cup gun. With the right tip orifice.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 classic its painted that is not a lie. But that is a fucked up paint job 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your mistake here is that you went too heavy on the first coat
Agreed
One gust of wind and it’s......
Newbie here looking to learn a little bit more and have been Googling/Youtubing around for DIY, affordable ways to paint a vehicle. Gotta say, I appreciate your unpretentious and straight forward style here. A lot of RUclipsrs try too hard to hype up stuff that doesn't need it.
Thanks! My goal is to show you guys everything.....good or bad! How else for everyone to learn what to do or not to do!
Check out Paint society if you want to learn painting.
To sprain paint a car,
1) wash it
2) sand it it
3) wash it
4 paint with primer
5) sand it
6) paint colour of choice,
7) wet sand it
Is that right,
My car is white but want to paint it black
Is it possible to do with just spray cans?
1.3 tip for your base not 1.8, 1.8 to 2.0 is for big flakes or for primer ,
You can’t not wet sand flat colors unless you hit it with a flat clear
Lol u can't buff flat color or clear lol buffing is to give shine
How about spraying a bit further and not doing it in the damn open outside. Who does that crap. Inside a ventilated area. ROOKIE MISTAKE
Rookie mistakes were definitely made
if im not mistaken thats a air turbine system, so not TRULY airless?
too heavy on the first coat let the first coat be the tacky coat just so that you can lay the paint on heavy for the 2nd, almost like the first coat is acting as glue for the second it will save you next time so you dont have so many runs in the paint
Good luck with dust, debris and paint splatter....This is not gonna turn out very good at all... Also wtf you upload this shit and 90% of your video is missing sound....
Sorry bro. It’s got all sound. Just checked for you
This is not an airless paint system. This is a HVLP turbine paint system which a high volume of air with low pressure. Usually around 3-6 psi. You can avoid runs by
dialing down on your fluid output. You can avoid Orange Peel by fixing the proper viscosity for the sprayer.
ive watched atleast 20 rustoleum car paint job..ive seen wayyy worst lol.. u inspired me to go ahead and take the leap paint my celica
Awesome! Be sure to tell me how it turns out!
Dam power meter guy getting on my nerves..before every dam video his ass talking about saving energy
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Is this an April fools Joke, 🤣🤣🤣, great video to watch while your drinking 🍸 .
People Just NO
Big Leaf bags work great for tires , just cut center of one side.
I hate to tell you this, but that is NOT an airless paint sprayer... In fact, it completely relies on air coming through that hose from the turbine...
why not just buy automotive paint ? not much price difference , only need a few quarts.
It was a learning experiment
thats the best paint job i ever saw
Airless HVLP, that's the way to go.
"It's painted!"
👍👍👍
You got a subbed.
LMAO "it's painted"
Good job! Next one will be even better!
Do you think a different mixing ration would of been better? Like 5:2:1 or less paint and more coats?
That and a smaller nozzle would have done me wonders!
All commenters are named Noah Tawl who all came to see "can we paint a car with a electric wagner gun?'
They're all a bunch of idiots who don't want to look like idiots in the comments,so they compete with each others comments by looking up wording on Google like, "i wouldn't have reduced the paint as much" ,or "you can't wetsand flat paint,you have to clear it with flat first".
I am a professional,and i think you did an awesome job. 👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much
@@AtomicGarage you got it bruh bruh.
For wheel covers use big 30-55 gallon garbage bags. Makes the job so much easier !!
Like it my man!! Not too bad! And your right it wouldn't be feasible to shoot kandy, metallic or some sort of pearl on Huge project! Maybe you can, maybe not... that would be a nice video though. Big ups.. great info.
Sand and light coat over it for even finish. Not as thick but nice seeing a real person be real and show test. Props
Instead of worrying about covering the wheels, just take them off and put the car up on jack stands and cover the assembly with a trash bag!
damn. you are brave. painting a car on top of a pile of leafs :D and way to fast, no flashtime at all. fix that and you see way better end results.
If I didn't have the equipment, I would have bought a $15 harbor freight hvlp and rented a large compressor. Probably could have rented a compressor for less than the cost of that airless sprayer.
