Looks great! Jerry! You mentioned stripe! I did custom vinyl stripping for 24 years under the 3M Trim-Line name / franchise. I miss it sometimes as to the designing and creating custom creations. Getting a bit too old to keep up with the pace. So glad I am up to other things now.
Hi Jerry, awesome video! When you apply the base coat do you put the coats on wet, like you do with clear? Usually how many coats of base? Three? What about clear coat? Three ?
The base coat can be sprayed somewhat dry - it doesn't have to be sprayed wet like clear coat. Spraying basecoat dry will not cause orange peel. Normally, you'll spray 2-3 coats of base and 2-3 coats of clear. More often though, three base & three clear :)
Did this just the other day... Somehow I must have nudged my fluid knob and when i went to spray it just soaked the panel.... Ha to wait and dust it but then had to bkend it across the panel because tgat area was much darker now.... Pain in the biscuits but saved the job and it was totally unnoticeable.
I've never used it but I believe is converts various paints to a basecoat so that you can do multiple color coatings like stripes, multi color graphics, etc quickly (dries fast). This allows you to do the job and clear coat it in one day instead of days. That's my understanding at least 😊@@gladememmott3001
Nice job and great video. One of my neighbors is a young guy that's started to buy, fix up and sell used cars on the side. He's a pretty smart kid paying his way through law school doing this. I've painted a few things for him and he's started to try doing some body and paint work himself. Almost as often as I give him advice, I also tell him to watch your videos. He has and thinks you're a great instructor. Have a great weekend
So if I’m spraying base I don’t need to make sure I’m seeing a nice even reflection like clear ? I usually do look for even uniform wet reflection but on hoods I usually get my signature subtle tiger stripes. I’ll give it a shot next time and go for even coverage guess like mat finish and see how it comes out. Will save in paint $$$ for sure. Thx for ur vids and merry Christmas!!
Initially, I was just trying to "color in" the sealer. Basically that area up there only needs one light coat and it's ready for clear. No sense using up paint when it's not necessary - $$$ 😊
Sometimes too wide of a fan or pattern or spraying too wet. Base coat can be sprayed a bit dry then get the shine with the clear. Mottling is a very common issue that many painters deal with so you're not alone. If you see tiger stipes or mottling back off and give it a mist coat after about 20 seconds.
Can I ask a quick question. Got some fenders ready to shoot. Just finished and Im whipped! whats the window of time after finish sanding? I mean If I get it all ready to shoot tonight (finish sanded with 400) can I shoot tomorrow morning without resanding? Just clean and go.
I replied yesterday but I think something went wrong - sorry. You can spray it the next day - just clean and go. You can hit it quick with a scuff pad if worried about any oxidation, etc. 🎄🎅🎉
@@LakesideAutobody I suffed with 600 and shot it. Just finished both fenders. When I was a kid i helped in a body shop all day and in evening the owner would help me on my cars. But never sprayed anything but prime. Thanks to you every shoot is better and better! I bought a little blazer and painting 2 panels at a time. Im old and get tired quicker than I used too. Im guessing Im close toyour age or little older Im 60. Merry Chrismas to you and yours! And again Thank You sir!
@@lawncuttingplusdelta Yes, I was referring to single stage Dupont Centari acrylic enamel. A friend of mine showed me the 'add more reducer and hardener, crank up the pressure and fog the whole car' trick. When he first did it i thought he REALLY screwed up...as the finish was dull with hardly any shine. He said give a while (as he was cleaning out the gun)... After the 'fog cleared' and the gun was all clean, we went back into the spray area and the paint job looked amazing!!! Almost like hand rubbed lacquer it was soooo smooth and glossy!!! Ever since he showed me that trick, one a single stage metallic job, that's what i do.

You should make videos on some of that information - folks would like that I think :) Enjoy the weekend U Mark.
@@LakesideAutobody You have a great weekend too!

👍🏻Thanks for the great tips. Just in time for a project I’m trying to get painted
You're welcome Michael - thanks for checking it out. Enjoy the weekend 🎄🎅🏈😊
That's great work, that explains a lot on how to get a good looking job👍
Thanks RG - enjoy the weekend 🏈🎄😊

I like that... "Pain in the Biscuits" Like this one guy said, "That road was 'rougher 'n a cob'." Sayings like that are great :)
@@LakesideAutobody LoL 😂😂😂.... Hey what exactly is base coat converter used for????

Thanks Bruce - that's cool of you to help him out. Tell him to stick with school and graduate! It will pay off in the long run :)
You did a great job thank for the tips
Thanks Robert - enjoy the weekend 🏈🎄😊
Always excellent. Will paint a 1973 SAAB. complete? ie glass out and factory color
Good luck - let me know how it goes for you. Happy 🎄🎅🎉😊

You do not have to spray base wet - that's what makes it much easier than SS metallic paints. Merry Christmas to you too my friend :)
This video help me thank you sir
Thanks for checking it out :)
Another good video. Why did you bypass the upper left corner initially? Seen at about 40 seconds.
Initially, I was just trying to "color in" the sealer. Basically that area up there only needs one light coat and it's ready for clear. No sense using up paint when it's not necessary - $$$ 😊
Good question , I was wondering same ….
Where are you located? I have a hood that needs a scoop bonded to it and blended to make it look as one. Would love to have you do it.
I'm in Saint Helen, Michigan - enjoy the weekend Kevin RR 🎄😊
Thanks for the video! This is something I need practice on.
The same method is used for single stage and BC/CC. With SS, go around twice on the last coat. The 2nd being the mist coat :)
I have a question
What would cause tiger stripes or a pulsating spray pattern in the stroke of your spraying
Sometimes too wide of a fan or pattern or spraying too wet. Base coat can be sprayed a bit dry then get the shine with the clear. Mottling is a very common issue that many painters deal with so you're not alone. If you see tiger stipes or mottling back off and give it a mist coat after about 20 seconds.

Hi Jerry,
I have a quick question for you. Did you not neee to blend the base into the door?
You could have and most body shops would have done that but it matched so well from previous work that was done on the truck that I just skipped it.
Perfect. Thanks for the quick response
No problem - check out this Friday's upload 1/5/24 to see the side of the truck finished - you can see how it matches. 👍😊@@stevemaclean2009
Truck looking good Jerry, another great video!
Thanks 👍 UPK - Hope all is well 🎄🎅🎉
@@LakesideAutobody all is well my friend, enjoy your Week 💯
HEY THERE JERRY, JUST A SHORT HELLO FROM LAKEBAY, WASHINGTON- HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON, A FRIEND AND ADMIRER, PATRICK.P
Hey Patrick - nice to hear from you my friend. Glad you like the videos and hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too 🎄
Man Ive been watching your videos and listening to what you say. Today I just laid the best job ive ever sprayed! .Thank You!
That's music to my ears 👍 I'm happy you found the videos helpful my friend. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family 🎄🎅🎉
Very nice job Jerry!
I don't know how you work around that post, suppose youre used to it.
Have a great weekend! 😉
I need more room 🤔 You enjoy the weekend too my friend 🎄🏈😊
Question? Ive always wondered the paint suit's Is that to keep painter clean? Or to keep lint out of paint?
Your skin absorbs the poisonous chemicals from the overspray - the suit prevents that. Not all but more than if you were painting in a t-shirt 😊
Nice job as always Jerry ! Great tip
Thanks 👍 PSG - enjoy the weekend :)
Nice little video great job
Thanks 👍 - enjoy the weekend Brad :)
Great information to share!
👍💯😊
As always nice work
Thanks Robert - thanks for watching 👍💯😊
Yup.
Back in the 'Centari' days... on metallics we would crank up the pressure after adding a bit more reducer and hardener and fog away.
That's exactly how it was done - thanks for the input - helps folks out for sure :)
Are you talking single stage ? I’m old school and still prefer to paint single stage , but I get the value of base clear
@@lawncuttingplusdelta
Yes, I was referring to single stage Dupont Centari acrylic enamel.
A friend of mine showed me the 'add more reducer and hardener, crank up the pressure and fog the whole car' trick.
When he first did it i thought he REALLY screwed up...as the finish was dull with hardly any shine.
He said give a while (as he was cleaning out the gun)...
After the 'fog cleared' and the gun was all clean, we went back into the spray area and the paint job looked amazing!!! Almost like hand rubbed lacquer it was soooo smooth and glossy!!!
Ever since he showed me that trick, one a single stage metallic job, that's what i do.
@@russdavis1960 awesome 👏….. my buddy did same on a Datsun 510 1986 !!! ….. corvette yellow !!! It literally looked like base clear after 👍🏻
nice work man
Thanks Marty - enjoy the weekend my friend. Thanks for always watching 🎄🎅🏈😊
WOW !! Jerry .
Thanks for watching OB :)
