Absolutely legend. This worker a charm. Been cold in Sydney so my can started spitting on my second coat so had to sand the spots away. Heated it up and flowed a charm after that.
love your videos mate, makes me want to pull my finger out and do some touch ups on my car, just gotta practice on some easier smaller patches before attempting the paint chips on the bonnet
Is an adhesion promoter really necessary? I have to repair my bumper and will be using plastic filler then plastic primer? I'll also be spraying clear out of a can and don't have thinner in a can, is this necessary too? I think that if I do the whole bumper then blending clear shouldn't be too much of a hassle.. thanks james
Hello brother ... I have the same situation can i sand with 400 grid or just 800 grid work as well because i have skoda fabia is the same color metallic silver 9102
I've got a grille real similar to the one on this car i want to paint black. Its completely undamaged, should i still scuff it up with some 800grit or scotchbrite before painting?
I have a 2008 milano red car and from what ive heard red fades. Its been kept outside for half its life, I'm scared the car might have faded a little but slightly noticable if i get a fresh spray on the bumper. Do i need to do anything to the custom paint cans to make the paint mixer perfect to match my car? thanks!
I know it ain't as easy as you make it with great results in the video. lol Have bumper cover scratches and gouges from license plate screwhead. Trying to work myself up to DIY fix it. My car is only 6 months old so I think blending the clearcoat will work.
Great repair. I used 1K clear on my motorbike panels and regret it every single day, the orange peel is horrendous, it's my own fault though knowing i used cheap spray gun and cheap product, also wind didn't help.
customspraymods Won't be able to sand it as the nose fairing has some major close gaps, i'm going to try remove it with thinners as the basecoat is 2k.
I thought you had to clear paint the entire panel so there are no overlap mark between old and new clear layers... Looks like you clear paint only half panel.. How?
oh yeah I forgot to mention -- I went to supercheap auto (NZ version) and they had 3 versions of my paint code.. with a different name for it. The guy refused to cos he didn't want to give me the wrong code so instead I just went to Repco and got a sweet deal with some unmatched paint. Just some basic paint which was matched up by eye but I painted it on to test and its a shade lighter! I'm assuming having grey primer will make it darker? I also have some black pearl which I could use. But next time I will grow balls and go to a pro paint shop. Oh yeah... I'm gonna get a body kit too so then when money's sweet the pro paint job will be done on that attached to the car...
After 8yrs of this video, I've used this today as a guide. Cheers Dave

Great tips mate, managed to sort three panels out inc front smashed bumper. Big up from London.
Man you are BEST...MORE VIDEOS...that looked AMAZING..love the PERSONALITY

Excellent. Where can you get the correct paint code for the colour of the car?
Thanks for the free advice.. you made it look easy !
Hi, does it need to rubbing compound the finish?

So once i do a few coats of paint after drying i dont need to sand the "orange peal effect"? Or theres no orange peal effect?
What about the bumper to quarter front panel? Isn't that a harde edge blend and needs to blend into the quarter?
How long should does it take for the clear coat to dry?
Hello brother ...
I have the same situation can i sand with 400 grid or just 800 grid work as well because i have skoda fabia is the same color metallic silver 9102
which clear coat did you use? can you reply with the link?
We spray thinner at the end to match between new and old color?
I've got a grille real similar to the one on this car i want to paint black. Its completely undamaged, should i still scuff it up with some 800grit or scotchbrite before painting?
are there any water soluble paints you can use with a spray gun to paint cars?
I love these vids bro...all the way from the UK
Is there a place like VG but in America? Or is VG also in America?
John Foley there should be. VG is in Australia

Do i need to do anything to the custom paint cans to make the paint mixer perfect to match my car?
thanks!
whoever mixes it sometimes can eye match it. by blending the surrounding panels may also help
Should do a video on how to remove runs while painting using masking tape. Paint shops don't seem to do the old school tricks anymore
I know it ain't as easy as you make it with great results in the video. lol

Would it be better to use 2K clear instead of the 1K?
if price is not an issue. And you have a dust free environment. With the correct safety mask yes go 2k.
Great repair. I used 1K clear on my motorbike panels and regret it every single day, the orange peel is horrendous, it's my own fault though knowing i used cheap spray gun and cheap product, also wind didn't help.
try sand it and buff it.
customspraymods Won't be able to sand it as the nose fairing has some major close gaps, i'm going to try remove it with thinners as the basecoat is 2k.
I thought id be okay using a small Touchup kit and boy was i wrong. I definitely will be trying spray cans next.
Outstanding work!!
This would be the same if I used the Spraymax products, using 1K clear and the 1K spot blender?
yep those products should work the same.
Looks great !!! Great tutorial !!!
you should make a videos of doing a paint job only using spray cans
How much would you say it all cost, considering everything would have to be baught, like the plastX filler, and masking supplies?
+Yo Fizzle masking supplies doens't need to be "pro quality" you can use newspaper etc. (=
probably under $100 but with those materials you could do 10 jobs like this. So do the math on that one. cheers
crackin' job mate!
Great job with spray can
I have to do this to my car, im confident of my body skills but apprehensive about the clear
Is there such a thing as flat clear?
Yes there is . Eastwood do it otherwise VGs can make a flat clear in a spray can.
why 1k clear and not the spraymax 2k you used previously?
just wanted to show how good the upol 1K clear is. Also it dries quicker which is a bonus when not in a booth. less chance of dust landing in it.
+customspraymods still have to wet sand the 1k?
+Aps Ofny no not this clear. I didnt skip any steps this video is exactly how it went down. Cheaper 1K clears would need sanding and buffing.
What ever happened to project Gemini?
Nice work.
can you do a video on removing a hard edge of primer that you can see under base coat ? i made a rookie error lol
Mitch Bryant hi mate you’d have to flat it back and re spray the job unfortunately
@@anthonysutton9794 could you simply wet sand the hard edge instead?
so is 1k acrylic or 2 pack. I know acrylic doesn't get that shiny straight from the can.
Christopher Hemmings that can was acrylic but it’s not a 2k clear.
awesome video as usual!
no mask sanding looks great
Hahaha.... Love the "Law & Order/SVU" soundtrack introduction :)
Great repair too.
Looks great! Now you just need to do something with those hideous wheels!
I thought you had to clear paint the entire panel so there are no overlap mark between old and new clear layers... Looks like you clear paint only half panel.. How?
I used the blending fade oit spray on the smallest part. I showed how at the end of the clearcoat section of the video.
@@customspraymods this is the first time I hear of a bleeding clear. Is this a critical step? Could we use compound and polish instead to blend in?
thx!
:'( need to do my rim, curbed it today. Don't drive tired!

Anyone notice something fishy starts going on at 2:50!!!
mesmerize15 I highlighted the panel I was going to blend.
thumbs up
Paint, golf cart
Needs it repaired fast so the wife doesn't find out
pro as
Real poor repair, could have at least popped the parking sensor out. The black rubber gasket will now be sprayed, dead give away.
